The Lifeguard
« on: June 26, 2013, 09:21:08 pm »
Take a wild guess why I started this thread and who I started it for.


According to Ain't It Cool News:

Quote
Focus Features has put out a new one-sheet for Kristen Bell's upcoming movie THE LIFEGUARD, and say what you will about this poster, but it's not the most imaginative thing in the world. "We got a movie about a pretty blonde lifeguard? Put her in center frame in her one-piece with the public pool in the background! Done!" It does nothing to describe the plot of freshman director Liz W. Garcia's film, which has Bell playing a New York City reporter who returns home to Connecticut and takes up a job as a lifeguard; oh, and she gets involved in a more-than-casual capacity with a 16 year-old boy. That's some provocative stuff that puts Bell into more complicated territory than her rom-com and TV work usually grants her (except maybe House of Lies). Maybe highlighting the interesting premise would coerce people to see the film who need more than Bell's familiar face or her (Photoshopped) body to get interested in a movie. Even fans of hers would probably be more enticed by the prospect of the actress doing an indie film that puts her dramatic talent, and not just her comic timing and high-wattage smile, on full display. I don't know. But Kristen's eyes sure look blue!

I can only imagine how painful it will be to watch that 16 year-old be traumatized by the longings of this older woman. Sounds like some PRECIOUS-level domestic drama right there...

THE LIFEGUARD comes out on VOD on July 30th and theatrically a month later on August 30th.

Kristen, is there ever a day when I'm NOT in love with you?!

I LOVE making people's days.  And sometimes it's something I'd been planning for a while (like a gift I gave a friend just because) or when it's just something random I found like this.  I'll keep my eyes open for the trailer and any other materials.

And I would like to also thank you for the post.

But as much as I love Kristen more than Chip, that is dumbest looking one sheet I've seen in a long time. That looks like something out a sears catalog.

Silence!  I agree.  Poster gives me no idea what the movie will be like.  Which means it failed at it's job.

I have no idea what you Jabronies are jibber jabbering about. It's clear what the poster is getting across.

This is, of course, now reminding me of the car wash discussion from a month or so back... Chip, what's your dream car?

Plymouth Prowler to take Kristen anywhere she wants. And no, Mac, she specifically told me to avoid your house and any associations you may have elsewhere. Her words, not mine. Sorry buddy.

Subtle....


Hehehe.... I actually did a little work on those puppies in development. The company I worked for was a plastics mold shop and we did several parts of the car. I did vibration analysis on the side mirrors. And flow analysis on the front grill.

Awesome car... despite it screaming I have a needledick.

Note: Kristen told me you would probably talk about the house. She's just playing along with you.

Sorry... bud-dy

Where'd the naner naner smiley go?
