Release the Jonah cut

Apparently according to Jennifer Lawrence, they let the cameras roll for an hour or something while Jonah Hill unleashed a tirade of unscripted comedy.

Release it! Don’t sit tight and assess.

He's such a lazy, fat fuck. As useless as Seth Rogen.

Even if your spiteful assessment of Jonah is somehow accurate, would that preclude him from potentially unleashing a humorous tirade of unscripted comedy?

If that footage does indeed exist, I'd check it out. And I'm not even much of a Hill fan.

He's a decent actor compared to Rogen. Heck, even a dog is a better actor than Rogen. But I don't think he did well in this movie.

[–] ManToTrust (1660) 3 years ago

Dogs are great. Rogen is trash.

He was the absolute worst part of the movie.

That actually means he did an excellent job portraying his character.

[–] distroy (280) 3 years ago

No, it doesn't.

psst - his 'job' in this movie was to play an amusingly obnoxious ignorant entitled prick - he earned his paycheck. we used to think this type of presidential spawn would be beyond the pale, but then we got the trumplings, and dear old hunter. it now seems 'normal'.

That's all?

You already got a snippet of the Jonah cut and it was trash from the looks of it.

"What up, world? Jason Orlean, uh, Chief of Staff, United States. Um... I've been noticing a lot of prayers recently for people during this time and I commend that, um, but I also wanna give a prayer for stuff. There's dope stuff, like material stuff, like sick apartments and watches, and cars, um, and clothes and shit that could all go away and I don't wanna see that stuff go away. So I'm gonna say a prayer for that stuff. Amen."

When there was a long pause from Meryl Streep looking at him, I think she was thinking 'What lame improvisation'.

That one was a bit heavy handed. They could have tried something a bit more subtle.

[–] 123Guy (7668) 3 years ago

you spelled the "Release the cut Johan" version wrong.

[–] footlegger (1465) 3 years ago

Johan rhymes with Zohan... and you don't mess with the Zohan.

I wouldn't mind seeing that. I thought he nailed the performance and was very funny. I am not an uber-fan but sometimes he does some great stuff like this...
