So aside from the quirky fun dancing Pepsi commercial he is in with Parker Posey, Jimmy Fallon really hasnt been in anything that I care to watch lately. Or ever. I didnt even really like him on Saturday Night Live. So does he give up? Heck no.
Variety says he’s managed to weasel his way into two more movies. First, he’ll be in the indie film Eliot Rockett, along with fading hottie Sharon Stone. The movie casts Jimmy as a work-a-holic with commitment issues. When his father has a stroke, he returns home where he has to deal with a dysfunctional past that includes a mother played by Stone. I liked this movie better when it was called Garden State.
This guy just doesnt rank among my favourite actors. In any way at all. And it just makes me feel OLD when I see popular actors playing MOMS of actors I related to. Hell, Kim Basinger was Eminem’s mom (hot in a trashy kinda way) in 8Mile, and now Sharon Stone is playing Fallon’s mom?
Add to that, a movie about dealing with dysfunctional families? If I wanted to do that I could just go to Christmas dinner at my Inlaw’s. There I can feel old and see people I dont really want to. At least THERE I will get fed well.
Bleh.
