Liking Ryan Reynolds now?

I dunno. He’s entering Lov-Hatn status.

It’s not enough that Mr. Reynolds may have the potential hat-trick in ruining nerd-docious dreams everywhere…

• Being the smug-mouthed assassin in Blade: Trinity who just stares, lustfully (is this a word? IDK but it fits), Jessica Biel. What a horrible “end” to a brotha-led franchise.
• Marrying Scarlett Johannsen when he already had Alanis Morisette. The latter may have been too fierce for his ass, even though they’re both Canadian…
• Taking on BOTH Deadpool and The Green Lantern?! 2 comic-book properties, albeit lesser-known? Starring in 2 potential franchises, from competing comic book entertainment publishers?!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Harrison Ford did BOTH Han Solo & Indiana Jones. At the same time. But they were “original” by Hollywood standards. And written, produced &/or directed by the same folks (Lucas & Spielberg)…

Did he have to lead his wife – starring as Iron Man 2‘s Black Widow, oh Lord – by THIS example?! Albeit I got the same issue with them as I do with Jay-Once… Or Bay-Hova.

No drama: great. No drama?! Boooring.

At least he’s taking it all in stride. Maybe he and Ms. Scarlett will be the Lady & Lord of the Tentpoles?

But he may redeem himself in mine and thine eyes, with his latest indie news: a tight and well-reviewed script, Buried, by Chris Sparling (yes, I was quite good; a mad-quick read as genre/high-concept scripts are supposed to be) that was directed by Rodrigo Cortes, played at Sundance last month and was reviewed quite well.

And it got bought by who else, Lionsgate, that master studio of genre fare they don’t (wanna/hafta) produce. Only distribute and make moolah on.

Stranje-Ashe-Ashante…
