This movie has some of the best viral marketing in comedic history. The Official Online Presence For Kirk Lazarus one of the Filmography listings links to Satan's Alley (not the musical from Staying Alive), a drama starring 20-time winner Kirk Lazarus and Tobey Maguire. I wish they'd put the trailer up so we can continue making Wonder Boys and "omg Tony Stark slept with Peter Parker" jokes
After seeing The Dark Knight, this is the movie I am most looking forward to see next. It's really odd, but it looks like it could be great.
Not exactly a cast you'd expect to see together -- Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Nick Nolte, Steve Coogan... and someone whose cameo might go missed if you don't know it's him because of all the makeup he's under.
rainofmadness.com is also hilarious--they just added a behind-the-scenes interview with RDJ as Kirk Lazarus as Sgt. Lincoln Osiris At first I thought Stiller/Black/RDJ was a weird combo because they all do such different types of comedy. But now, it feels as natural as anything. Aragorn, are you talking about Justin Theroux?
Fosters...he mentioned Fosters. Australian don't actually drink Fosters (in Australia at least) and as such would not say "put a Fosters' sized hole in him" or whatever. Fosters is the crap we export to the rest of the world because the local populous won't drink it.
I really doubt that is why Fosters is mention, I think it is more of a case that it is associated with Australia by the rest of the world. Though I understand why they don't put a name like XXXX, Tooheys or Cascade in there since it would have no name recognition outside Australia. It is just like the work "Crikey"...99.9% of Australians cringe when they hear that word, but it is very much associated with our country despite the fact you would find very few people who use it over here, unless they are don't an impression of a Crocidile hunter or how people oversees see Australians.
everyone in the UK knows XXXX because over here it was marketed as Castlemein XXXX,with the tag: Castlemein, Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else... do you all say 'she'llberight' and 'no worries' a lot? or strewth and fair dinkum? strewth, she'llberight, no worries mate, it's all fair dinkum, cobbers!
Really, you get XXXX in the UK? You poor bastards, IMO it is one of the worst brews in Australia! I only drink it because I live in QLD and it is often one of the cheapest beers you can get at the bar. The joke over here is that it is called XXXX because Queenslanders couldn't spell beer! Actually, we do say 'she'll be right' and 'no worries'. Strewth and fair dinkum aren't used unless we are using it as in a joking fashion, along with "crikey" and "that's not a knife, this is a knife".
