Me and the rest of the Hoboken Poontang Squad (that's me and my boys Al, Vinny, and Geo) are so fuckin' psyched for "Lady In The Water" to come out on Friday. We always get fuckin' PUMPED AS HELL for the new Paul Giamatti joint. He's the man. Fuckin' GIAMATTI!
We got it all planned: Al's gonna drive us into the city in the CRX and we're gonna go to the midnight showing at the AMC 25 in Times Square. But get this: there ain't no Thursday midnight showing, so we're just gonna find the nearest club and party it up Giamatti-style! We only gonna drink pinot noir in honor of his Oscar-winning performance in motherfuckin' "Sideways!"
Usually when we hit the clubs, Vinny's a hardcore pussyhound, and that desperation scares off all the chicks. But last week when we were at Scaffold, he played it totally fuckin' low-key with this one girl, and he ended up banging her behind a dumpster! When he told me that story the next day, I was like, yo, that's so fuckin' GIAMATTI! And he was like "whyzat?" And I was like, 'cuz instead of bein' flashy, you played it totally fuckin' subdued and in the end it was that very subtlety that got you the fuckin' PRIZE, and he was like, "what prize is that," and I was like "POONTANG!" and then he was like "GIAMATTI!" and I was like "GIA-MAAATI!" and we hi-fived and everyone in our fuckin' community college accounting class looked at us like they never saw two bros hi-five about a critically lauded character-actor-turned-unconventional-leading-man before!
This is an excerpt from an IM convo I had with Geo a little while back:
cinderellaFan55: yo im watchin american splendor on showtime
geoInThaBoken: oh shit son
cinderellaFan55: yea our boy is on sum crazy nuanced characterization
geoInThaBoken: yo dats so giamatti
cinderellaFan55: yo we say that shit so much we should jus say "DSG!" for short
geoInThaBoken: DSG! DSG! DSG!
cinderellaFan55: fer realz kid...yo i read this interview where giamatti was all like it wuz easy to portray harvey pekar cuz harvey is already portrayed so much in his comix
cinderellaFan55: DSG
geoInThaBoken: yo i would not even know who the fukk harvey pekar is without the G-MAN
cinderellaFan55: DSG to expose viewers to mad subcultures wit his detailed portrayals of the introverted denizens of those subcultures
geoInThaBoken: for sure
cinderellaFan55: yo are you goin to wet t-shirt night at ScooterPies?
I been reading mad advance reviews of "Lady In The Water," and they all pretty much are like, yo, this movie sucks, but Giamatti fuckin' rocks! That's his SHIT, all transcending mediocre material, all bein' the best thing about a bad movie, yo! Yo I would type more but I'm too fuckin' excited! I'm gonna go watch my specially edited copy of Big Momma's House that's just the parts with fuckin' GIAMATTI, and maybe work on my hair, or lift. Even though I know cuz of Giamatti that looks ain't totally everything.
Oh shit! What if he's at the movie screening on Friday? I bet if we asked him for an autograph he'd be totally fuckin' nice about it: unaffected humility in the face of unexpected fame is SO FUCKIN' GIAMATTI!!
