Loser Have To Strip Movies

Wanting to see "No Strings Attached '(aka Fuckbuddies)

In Spain we have to wait until the scheduled date and time: March 25. A new day note in your diaries. At first glance may seem like the typical romantic comedy, but the truth is that I hope will be something more, otherwise I assure you would not even mentioning it. The script for this film, written by the wonderful Elizabeth Meriwether (to which I devoted an entry here), was ranked number six best scripts without producing on the blacklist in 2008, but yes, I had a title far more provocative: 'Fuckbuddies', something like Follamigos , which later became known as 'Friends with Benefits' to finally end up as 'No Strings Attached' , because curiously a movie with a plot similar had enough copied the title. If I were the writer that I would become very, very angry. Luckily, Meriwether has a style and a voice hard to copy. Here is a brief example of his work: http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/f57c441be1/twilight-cycles



The truth is that No Strings Attached is being a great success North American box office, and since its release just over a week leading with revenue totaling already at 40 million dollars. A surprise or not. I suppose a lot has to do with it also Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman, the two protagonists, and its director, Ivan Reitman, who remember the mythical Ghostbusters who had to see her son after directing films like Juno and Up in the Air you re-entered the filmmaking bug. As you can imagine
go, the movie is about two friends who want to maintain a purely sexual relationship, no love and no romance, but the question is what happens if you fall in love? Rounding out the cast
Kevin Kline and the new discovery Actress Greta Gerwig, which we have seen in Greenberg and see Noah Baumbach in Damsels in Distress , the return of the great Whit Stillman.



Liz Meriwether is now immersed in two screenplays for Paramount and Universal, and a proposed series that has sold to Fox about a girl who after breaking up with her boyfriend decides to go live with a group of guys who has ever known. The original title was 'Chicks and Dicks', but for obvious reasons the chain and forced him to change it. Previously, Meriwether also tried to sell another series called 'Sluts', but no luck. One thing you can make it clear, is that this girl certainly likes the bold titles. I wonder if one day have the freedom to expose. I think so.



Then I leave with a fantastic trailer restricted to minors. The other, open to all public is on youtube, but I like less. The fact is that sex has long since ceased to be taboo in fiction film and television, every day is more open and natural, and I drink to that.
