This isn't' even out yet but I have a feeling it's going to be a BAD movie...
The popular Broadway "jukebox musical" "Rock of Ages" is about to become a feature film starring Alec Baldwin (?), Tom Cruise (!!) and Catherine Zeta-Jones...it comes out next Summer and the first trailer has hit the Net...

Uhhhh....
OK, I'll admit I laughed at the "They ARE dudes" bit.
...and Julianne Hough is FREAKIN' hot.
Other than that...mmm, no thanks. Angry mothers protesting against "dirty" rock n roll? I think I saw this movie already when it was called "Detroit Rock City." Or maybe it was "Rock N Roll High School," or maybe "Warning: Parental Advisory." Whichever it was, none of those flicks turned rock classics into cheesy song & dance numbers. I think I'll pass.
When is it going to be leagal to kill Tom Cruise? Seriously the government needs to take him out Bin Ladden style and Waco that stupid church/cult of his. f**k Scientology!
All the way through that trailer I was thinking how bad it looked, then Russell Brands name popped up and then I thought, this is going to be REALLY bad.
If nothing else, Tom Cruise plays a magnificent douchebag and the song list is pretty amazing if you like 80s rock/power ballads.
I was a part of that scene, it was a decadent time, stupid, but a lot of fun. To see it portrayed by people who don't have a clue about what it was really like is depressing. It will be about as lame as that damn "Rock Star" movie with Mark Walberg. Plus I hate Tom Cruise with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns!
In the words of today's youth...
O...M...F...G!!!!!
Paul Giamatti? Crap, that means I'll feel compelled to at least rent this.
On the other hand, it still looks better than any given scene from GLEE.
