| Wedding crashers -Let this be a lesson to you all! | | Posted Thursday, January 26, 2006 4:27:54 PM by Kate Grant | How would you feel, if on your wedding day, two unknown guys will appear at the reception, and behave like they own the place, hitting on your girlfriends and bridesmaids, and feeling darn good about themselves? New movie "the wedding crashers" deals with such a situation. Staring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, as two divorce mediators who share an interesting hobby: they love to crash weddings. 
They keep the rules they invented for this mission, but when they crash the wedding of one of the daughters of Treasury Secretary William Cleary and his wife, Kathleen, things get a little complicated.
In many funny scenes in the movie, John and Jeremy endure a multitude of comical mishaps at the hands of the dysfunctional members of the Cleary family, but in the end love conquers all. Other cast members include Christopher Walken and Jane Seymour.
You can find wedding crashers stills and pictures, the movie trailer, the soundtrack, dvd, quotes, like "Well, the guy wants to run for president, he thinks Moby Dick is a venereal disease", and more, on many of the sites dedicated to " the wedding crashers.

| | | Columnist abandons fake alias | | Posted Wednesday, February 07, 2007 3:13:37 PM by Blog57 Team | | I have a confession to make to you, my less-than-faithful readers: I have not been honest in the past. Not so much with my column, but more so in person. You see, for years, I have gone to parties with an alias and a back story. Yes, even before "Wedding Crashers," my friend Rob and I used to do this. It spices up one-time-only meetings that most people probably won't even remember the next day. My most-used alias was Lance Sterling. Originally, we were just looking for a pretentious-sounding name for a fake Facebook.com profile I created a while ago, but eventually the persona of Lance Sterling morphed into a slightly over-the-top, yet believable one. It came to pass that Lance Sterling was a professional snowboarder who decided to go back to school after several years competing on the pro circuits.... | |

| | | Laughs are the ultimate f/x | | Posted Wednesday, November 15, 2006 1:18:30 PM by Blog57 Team | | The respected marketing and distribution maven -- and Revolution Studios partner -- should know as well as anyone. His shingle recently laughed its way to the bank with the Wayans brothers' "White Girls" and "Little Man" and the Columbia/Revolution co-production "Click." The bad buzz generated recently by the scuttling of several big-budget projects aside, comedy is still one of the most reliable of film genres because the paradigm for success has always been relatively simple: Have a strong concept, don't spend a lot of money and pack in enough laughs to satisfy the aud. Unlike other genres, comedies don't have to work 100%. "You just have to make sure you don't have a lot of dead space," says Jeff Tremaine, writer-director of the popular "Jackass" movies. "People are very forgiving with comedies," agrees Andrew Panay, partner in Tapestry Films and producer of "Wedding Crashers" and "Employee of the Month." "They just want to laugh a lot, and if you maybe throw in a bit of heart, they leave the theater very satisfied." The concept may be the star, but a byproduct of good comedy has been to create sometimes enduring icons.... | |

| | | INDUSTRY BUZZ | | Posted Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11:33:03 AM by Blog57 Team | | Everybody Loves Sacha: Jay Roach has directed some big comedies, including the "Austin Powers" films and "Meet the Parents" and its sequel, but he's never seen anyone quite like Sacha Baron Cohen. Roach produced "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," in which the British actor poses as a racist, misogynist TV reporter "interviewing" real people in a cross-country tour of the United States. Cohen stayed in character during filming and has continued to play the part offscreen at press events in Cannes, Toronto, Washington, Los Angeles and London. "I actually think what Sacha is doing is actually pretty new," Roach says by phone from London, where he watched Cohen, as Borat, entertain the crowd at the film's premiere. "Last night I thought people might say, 'OK, snap out of it,' but the opposite is true.... | |

| | | How to make sure kids don't become wedding crashers | | Posted Tuesday, October 31, 2006 11:36:16 AM by Blog57 Team | | Q: How do I get the message across that invitations to my wedding do not include children under 15? Should the invitation read, "No kids"? Should I call the families who usually show up with the entire brood in tow, even when they are not invited? A: It's up to the wedding party to get the word around that children should be left with sitters. Supply the wedding party with the guest list, identify the potential offenders and then make it a point to spread the word early. That might sound like, "I think that Mike and Judy are pretty clear that the reception would be tedious for children, so it's best to leave them at home. That's what we're doing." Be prepared to stand firm should anyone pursue the matter with you directly. I think it's mighty rude when guests ignore an invitation's intent and make their own rules.... | |

Despite months of speculation, a denial from Jennifer Aniston on Oprah, and a tabloid-suing Vince Vaughn, friends of The Break-Up duo insist that this twosome is irretrievably broke. The cause, it appears, was the usual "he said, she said." Apparently, he said Vaugniston and she said Jennivince until they both called the whole thing off. "They just didn't work as a name," said Team Aniston supporter and the better half of Benifer, actress Jennifer Garner. "It's sad, but what are you gonna do?" "They realized there was no foundation," explained Vince's Wedding Crashers pal and half of O-Kat, Owen Wilson. "Without a catchy hook, how can you catch the love—or the headlines?" Friends close to the pair said the split was painful, both emotionally and grammatically.... | |
