Does one really need to see anything else in a trailer or poster for a movie that includes the phrase “Starring Jimmy Fallon” to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is going to be one of the GREATEST motion pictures of our, or any other time in the history of movies… verilly… the history of mankind itself? Taxi just oozes QUALITY in the tradition of the theatre arts. Ok, enough of the crap.
Who on earth is making a zillion dollars a year to make decisions that results in a movie like this getting made?!?! 2 things on this planet confuse me. 1) Women. 2) The decision making process used by some studios in decideing what movies get made and which ones don’t. I know I haven’t seen it yet… but COME ON! Jimmy Fallon?!?! And what on earth is Queen Latifah thinking? She starts building a semi-respectable acting reputation… then even gets an Oscar nomination… and then she thinks to herself “Hey! You know what would be a really good career move for me right now? I’ll play a hip-hop speedster sissta drag racing taxi driving chick in a heist movie with Jimmy Fallon! Yeah! That’ll be awesome! Academy gold here I come!”.
Maybe I’m being unduly unfair to a movie I haven’t even seen yet… but come on… tell me I’m wrong. If you wanna subject yourself to the Taxi trailer, you can go here, but I can’t imagine why.
