Twitter in Focus: Danny DeVito

by tonyd on February 17, 2010 at 12:01 am

Hello bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus, where media comes to die!  Oh, bros, I’m psyched!  Today’s contestant is a personal hero of mine, Danny DeVito!  He was funny on Taxi, but It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, is fuckin’ brilliant.  Let’s check out his twitter.

February 10th, 12:09pm: “Good Morning W side of Earth. Beautiful Day. Woops NYC! Lend a hand in the snow. Looking forward to IASIP/FG Friday night! Checking balls!”

TMI, Danny.  TMI.

February 10th, 12:35pm: “Flash Back: Balcony facing East. Light fades. Rain feathers TF in fond Fandango http://yfrog.com/au4zcwsj”

Dude, what’s with the foot.  You really are Frank.

February 11th, 8:30pm: “Troll Foot at rehearsal The Nightman Cometh Tomorrow night at Universal Amphitheater http://yfrog.com/3312cxj”

You’re performing the Nightman Cometh Live?!  Nice!  Saw the Xmas Special by the way. It was sweet!

February 12th, 11:35am: “Troll Foot and Mahogony http://yfrog.com/1yheppj”

Who knew DeVito had a foot fetish?

February 12th, 12:03pm: “Tonight Is Our Night Bitches! The Nightman Cometh! Live Nation It’s ours Bitch! M’Balls firing up! 11 hours till incineration. Hang on TF!”

Nice, dude.  Hey, Mac was on LOST tonight.  He was very Mac-like.  I knew he was going to die in the same episode the moment he walked onto the screen.  And he did.

February 12th, 1:08pm: “Btches on stage Troll Foot happy! http://yfrog.com/3ncavztj”

Hey, did you refer to Judd Hirsch and Tony Danza as “btches” too?

February 13th, 10:34am: “Troll Foot and the boss”

You put your foot on Bruce Springstein?  Gross, dude.

February 13th, 10:37am: “Whoops http://yfrog.com/35cngdj”

Oh, that boss.  Mac rocks as well.  The only thing that would’ve made that Lost episode better is if Charlie had been his sidekick and gotten killed too.

February 13th, 10:34am: “Troll Foot and Sweet Dee she http://yfrog.com/1d6jhkoj”

Aw, dude, that’s so wrong.  You were always the crazy man.  Like in these Taxi outtakes (about 7:40 in).

February 13th, 10:48am: “In New Jersey. Limoncello signing baby! From So California to snow covered Edison! Great show Bitches http://yfrog.com/4avgffj”

Does this snow here suck or what?  I mean, Edison is bad enough.

February 13th, 10:52am: “Thanks to all Sponsors,Live Nation, Jersey Jeff Ross, Sarah Silverman, Seth & Family Guy. The Nightman Cometh and Boy’s Soul. For Haiti!”

Giving back, that’s nice.  Troll Foot with a heart of gold.

February 13th, 11:05am: “To the thousand of Sunny Fans! You da’ best. Season 6 we puttin out for you! Squeese your ass cheeks Bitches. TV’s Balls are Vesuvius! MF”

I have no idea what you just said, but imagining you saying it makes me laugh.

February 13th, 11:17am: “Joe Canal’s at one! A date! Lookin forward Troll Foot very excited! Last night make up at Haiti Benefit! http://yfrog.com/auy0tsj”

Maybe you shouldn’t let your foot take the picture.

10 hours ago: “Troll Foot is in NYC http://yfrog.com/35jqwozj”

Dude!  Get out!  The snow’s returning!

I don’t understand half of what Danny is saying, but it sounds like he’s having fun.  Let’s rate his twitter.  I give him a 6 for Style, an 8 for Mustness and a 10 for Insanity.  You’re definitely treading on Courtney Love territory, my friend.  That’s an overall score of 8, a must Follow.

And if you have someone you’d like to nominate for Twitter in Focus, email us here.

Frat Boy At the Movies: From Paris With Love

by tonyd on February 12, 2010 at 2:55 am

From Paris With Love has very solid action and performances, especially from John Travolta, but falls short in the plot department, big time.

If you’re one of those people that likes to see explosions and action and you don’t care why, you’ll probably love this movie.  Based on a story from the producer of Taken, Travolta is the “wild man” secret agent and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, his agent in training.  Unlike, say, The Bourne Identity, where you get a sense of who Bourne actually works for, it’s unclear what agency Meyers and Travolta are a part of.  (One can assume CIA, but its never actually said.)

Another problem is that during Act I, most of the time is eaten up by having Meyers with his girlfriend, which telegraphs either A) the girlfriend will die because she’s important to the plot, B) the girlfriend is a double agent planted to be important at the end or C) she’ll be kidnapped and we’ll go through that whole cliche as the two must band together and save her.  (It’s the lamest of the choices above.)

Travolta explodes on the screen, jumping from one action scene to the next.  First they’re hunting drug dealers, then Travolta’s on a personal mission and finally they’re hunting terrorists.  Considering we already know the third part because the trailer, the script is simply stalling and jerking around Meyers and the audience while Travolta racks up a body count.

Unlike Taken, where you are emotionally invested in the father trying to save his daughter, Travolta and Meyers are trying to save a fairly generic summit of politicians from a generic group of terrorists.  Without those specifics, you might as well be watching someone playing a video game.  The reveal at the end is pretty lame and the final minutes set up a potential sequel, I guess.  Maybe next time they could get a better script writer.

This is a rental at best, bros.  It’s not awful, but something you could totally have running in the room while you check your email and make dinner.  You can pop your head up for the stunts and explosions and then tune out for the rest.  I give From Paris With Love 5 out of 10 keggers.
