Quote of the Day

February 23rd, 2009 · 2 Comments

From Big Hollywood’s highlight/lowlight reel, here’s number 4 on the lowlights:

Let’s just say that last night Hugh Jackman did for Wolverine what Hayden Christensen did for Darth Vader.

Heh.  I would have said the total shunning of Gran Torino should have that spot, but I love the line anyway.

    I didn’t watch (much of) The Oscars–what did he to to absolutely destroy the credibility of Wolverine as a character?

    I mean, I already knew that he was a singer and dancer and played a gay guy in some play once. Never made me think any less of him playing Wolverine.

    So what did he do while hosting The Oscars?

    Jeez, man! I just thought it was funny.

    I only saw the tail end (starting with the Hollywood’s Dead Montage), but it may have been the dancing around with the cane and top hat. Worse than that was that he was just boring, along with the whole show.

    Now, if he would have slashed up Sean Penn in the middle of his sanctimonious political drivel, THAT would have been something.

    To be honest, I thought it was funny more for the Christiansen/Vader reference as anything else.
