    Anna Faris will play a previously unknown character described as a "documentary filmmaker."

    So this is a remake of "Grizzly Man," with Faris in the Werner Herzog role? #justintimberlake

    I like that being associated with terrorists might get him "in trouble," but being associated with homosexuals would get him killed.

    Weren't there permission forms to be signed? Is the problem that they weren't in Arabic?

    I think we owe Mr Cohen our support in the form of DVD sales. These are the front lines of civil rights, you guys.

    It is called word of mouth. maybe now that twitter makes that happen fast enough to impact the opening weekend, Hollywood will have to rely less on marketing and more on quality to get that first three days.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: One could hope that they'd make better movies, but you could also say that the three examples were poorly marketed.

    Bruno clearly wasn't going to play in the hinterlands; Year One had the kid from AD playing his stock character and Jack Black being Jack Black, the movie just screamed "wait for cable" and the PG-13, Will Ferrel thing was never conceptually explained, plus it was marketed with a urine joke.

    ...because too many people are learning, 140 characters at a time, how bad they are..

    Good. Maybe these sucktastic marketing departments that have been running Ho'wood for the last 4 decades will die a quick death and we can get back to making worthwhile cinema.

    I wouldn't rely on a Twittered opinion of a movie anymore than I would go onto a website where people rate products. With or without the internet, you can figure out if a movie is worth seeing. More often than not, just by watching the trailer.

    @kookla: You can fake product reviews. You can fake a good trailer out of a bad movie. You can't easily fake thousands of people sharing their good or bad opinions of a movie.

    As far as I'm concerned, Twitter opinions count for a lot.

    Easier said than done. It would mean that the studios would have to put some creative people in execubot positions, not MBAs. The horror. The horror.
