It's Life, Jump Into Life: Crazy Heart

Crazy Heart trailer, you guys:

Ah, OK, I get it. This is Jeff Bridges's The Guitar Playing Wrestler. That is what this is. And this is only the beginning, I bet. So many The Wrestlers on their way, probably. The Pool Shark Wrestler, The Former Poet Laureate Wrestler, The Overweight Sandwich Chain Spokesperson Wrestler. But that is all in the future. Right now it is just Jeff Bridges, and his race for the Oscar for Most Mumbliest Marble Mouth. Acting!

Instead of the Ram Jam, his signature move will be the Rude Dude, where he berates the crowd for quoting The Big Lebowski at him.

I hope this movie keeps up Maggie Gyllenhaal's recent trend of dying in a horrible, fiery explosion, a la "The Dark Knight."

Me too, but I don't think she's anywhere near young enough to play grizzled old dude's love interest.

Of course I am going to see this movie. I will see this movie and CRY and fall in love with Jeff Bridges even more and buy this movie on DVD and CRY some more when he doesn't win an Oscar.

It's almost as if Hollywood wants to break up with us (America) and doesn't have the nerve, so it is gradually becoming more awful so that we will be forced to do the dumping. It's over between us Hollywood! IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED? I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY.

As in-
the Nickelodeon show's western theme mixed with how Jeff Lebowski is and always will be The Dude.

Because he has a PhB! (A doctorate in the Blues)

Dear Hollywood,
Please stop casting actors who cannot play guitar in guitar playing roles. Yes, I'm sure you think that you can send Jeff Bridges to guitar boot camp for two weeks and he'll emerge as Robert Freaking Johnson, but it always ends up like this:

Jeff Bridges is the poverty-stricken man's Tom Petty (Tom Petty having already played the poor man's himself in Wristcutters).

They already made this movie in the 80's. And it had Robert Duvall in it. (Tender Mercies for you kids.)
