Anything that James Marsden plans to do is exciting to me, also - he could be cutting the ribbon for the opening of a supermarket and it would be great for me. Well… almost. You know what I think would be a great tie-in? For him to do some commercial himself, and have it appear around the time the film was coming out. I understand he sang for a fragrance that Cameron Diaz was selling. Something like that, but his face as well. I like that idea.
The biggie for this year, I think, will be as Dawson in The Best of Me. The popularity of The Notebook should spark a great deal of interest in TBOM - particularly (and that's a proviso) if they promote it and distribute it properly. Who's producing it? distributing it? I read that SONY is doing badly; I hope it's not SONY. They did a terrible job with Straw Dogs.
Paramount, Warner Brothers, Fox: any one of those, or some other company, which is a viable, going concern and knows how to really get a movie out there.
Some of Marsden's films have been blips. As Cool as I Am never made it to a theater around here. Endangered will come out next month as a DVD only. The Bachelorette was clobbered by posters in the IMDb boards - and by the way - I never saw it listed in any local theater, either. The Robot and Frank did come here but didn't last long. That one should have been more popular. I sort of understand why many people hated The Bachlorette - they simply didn't get it - the humor, the truthfulness of it - anything. But Robot and Frank was a thoroughly enjoyable film. Langella and Sarandon didn't deserve the bad treatment it got, either.
Walk of Shame's poster is finally posted on IMDb. That's a start for that one, anyway. It should be popular. Banks is a good actor and I think thee will be good chemistry between her and Marsden.
Business Trip? I've even seen a still taken in Germany where he and Vaughn and the Franco are walking or something.
I don't know why he isn't listed in the credits. I've even looked at the extended list of the cast - and - nil.
He's still my favorite actor, too; but I've taken on the role of being his "nudge." That's New York slang for nag. "Eat your broccoli; wear a scarf, it's cold out; what time are you coming home?"
Keep up the good work - I echo that - and never stop improving and learning and taking more chances that are intelligent and truly worth while.
And I agree with fun-in-the-sun. Sing, sing, sing. I love your voice; its gorgeous.
But record, already. Do an album, a video. Sing more than the phrase you sang in "Hop."
"All I want is your can-dee!"
I played that small segment over and over.
