Has anyone seen the trailer for this new Diane Lane-Richard Gere film, Nights in Rodanthe? OH MY GOD does it look brutal. The soundtrack, the dialogue, the horses galloping on the beach, everything. I can barely watch the trailer without feeling faint from an instantaneous cheese overdose.
Stephen Colbert really teed off on it the other night in typically hilarious fashion.

OMG, the spinning around in his chair KILLED ME.
Nicholas Sparks must be stopped.

You mean Colbert spinning around in his chair? Awesome.
But how about the: “Who keeps you safe?” line in that trailer. And the horses!!!
Puke.

Oh, please. She is just gonna cheat on him again. Why would he take her back?
September 29, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Who, Angie? I am confused.
The husband cheats on her and wants to come back. In the meantime, she and Richard Gere meet and fall in love!!! Because sometimes a moment can change your life forever!! And everyone deserves a second chance at love!!!!

@trixie: she was making an Unfaithful reference.
i see broken snowglobes in their near future.

AYL: Ooooohhhhhh! I totally forgot about that movie!
That Angie — she’s so clever.
p.s. What have you done to her back?
September 29, 2008 at 8:45 pm
James Franco has an uncredited role in this movie. Why!?
September 29, 2008 at 8:54 pm
@trixie: i didn’t do anything!! ;)

SF: I think he’s playing Gere’s son, which is actually a pretty good bit of casting.
Also, gerbils.
September 29, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Shit like makes me embarrassed to be a woman. Because you know there are some suckass women who will go see this nonsense.
Got-dayum them.
September 29, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Also, I’m gonna say it: Diane Lane looks really shitty with mom hair. I’m not going to buy wrinkle cream to look like you, Diane.
WHO’S NEXT, BITCHES???

MBB: You are so right. I had no idea so much of her beauty was tied up in her hair. I saw her on the Martha Stewart Show today though and she’s grown it back and she’s back to looking amazing again.
September 29, 2008 at 9:25 pm
@MBB: YUSSSS. that’s the first thing i said when i saw the coming attractions, and the obnoxious painted billboard across the street from the M23 bus stop. it aged her ten years.
September 29, 2008 at 9:31 pm
@sigourneyfever: Saw James Franco at a film festival once. Yes. He is that beautiful and has a bottom lip that begs to be bitten.
This movie begs to be lambasted by the critics.
September 29, 2008 at 10:16 pm
that was fuckin’ awful.
i just..
i don’t even know where to begin..
how fucking EMO can one movie be for fuckssake.
“i just want you to know..”
“no, i want YOU to know..”
“do you know?”
“HOW will i know?!”
“do you EVEN know??”
gah. when’s the next jason statham movie? bonus points if he doesn’t talk much.

“Finally a reason to want to fall in love!”
Amazing.

Amazon: The Colbert thing is such a sweet cherry on top of that steaming pile of mush and corn.
September 29, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Trix, mush and corn have more substance than that tripe. Blech!
I’m with K: I’d rather watch “Crank 2” than this bullshit.

Knight in Rodanthe in which Batman goes batshit and kills the entire town would have been superior
September 29, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Has anyone NOT seen the preview? It’s friggin everywhere. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised to see it playing on ESPN.
And that song makes me want to beat my head with a snow globe.

I couldn’t get through the frickin trailer. If Lifetime and the Hallmark Channel mated and had a spawn, it would be nights at Rodanthe. Did anyone else notice the stereotypical sassy, black friend/sidekick?
September 30, 2008 at 9:00 am
Amoureuse: Now that you mention it, yes! Pretty funny!
September 30, 2008 at 9:40 am
My mom wanted to see this with me this weekend. I put my foot down. Nicholas Sparks is all that is wrong with the world, and everytime I see that trailer I yell about the mom haircut, MBB. It’s just awful.
Also, like a house would ever be built on that part of the beach? maybe it’s just the jersey shore girl in me but that doesn’t seem realistic. or insurable.
September 30, 2008 at 11:08 am
@Amoureuse: Don’t start with me girl! (snaps)
September 30, 2008 at 11:09 am
@myrtlebeachbum LOL YES!! It’s like “Made of Honor” for a different generation. It must be stopped! (my roommate dragged me to that colossal waste of time, the best thing about it was my Buncha Crunch)
@Amoureuse Oh I totally noticed that in the first preview I saw and got pissed. I mean, COME ON HOLLYWOOD stop it with magical Negros. Try giving them a real role.
September 30, 2008 at 5:50 pm
D’ you think it ends happily?
DO YOU?
September 30, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Please tell me there’s actually a place called Rodantheeee, and it’s ocean side, and remote with one cottage for long-lost lovers, and the sand is magical and doesn’t get in your vagina when you have the beach sex. Also, please tell me this is a horrible sequel to Unfaithful and James Franco is Dewey all growed up and everyone is icey and troubled because of the deep dark family secret.
