Jonah Hill Is Everywhere

Lately I've been haunted by Jonah Hill. Dude seems to be everywhere I turn lately - I even had a dream in which I was supposed to go out on a date with him, which is weird since I'm married. Anyway, Jonah's latest film, The Sitter, opens in a couple of weeks. And it's basically a remake of Adventures In Babysitting, but it's very R-rated. Here's the incredibly not safe for work red band trailer, that opens with an interview of Jonah with some of the kids:



They're saying it's not a remake, but that's it's "inspired by" Adventures In Babysitting, but y'all, there's a scene that looks like it's in a blues club. The Sitter is directed by the same man that brought us Pineapple Express, and features Ari Graynor, who is hilarious in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. Sam Rockwell is listed as having a part in the film, and I kind of love him. But overall, this trailer left me cold. You?

Better Babysitter: Uncle Buck vs. Chris Parker

In today's Criss Cross Counter Punch, A Vapid Blonde and Daddy Geek Boy debate who was the better babysitter: Uncle Buck or Adventures In Babysitting's Chris Parker.

A Vapid Blonde: Dear Daddy Geek Boy, Seeing as though you have yet to start the great debate I declare a total smack down: UNCLE BUCK WINS! And he is the Best. Baby. Sitter. Ever.

The arguments for Uncle Buck are numerous, from his ability to be there every moment he is needed to making THE MOST AWESOME PANCAKE EVER. He is the guy you want watching your children. As opposed to Chris, whose decision-making capabilities are slim to none.

Should you want to concede here and now I would completely understand.

The ball is in your court.
