Trailer: This Must Be The Place

Sean Penn is an extremely mumbly aging rock star on the track of the SS agent who tortured his father in a concentration camp. I cannot make fun of this movie more than it already makes fun of itself, I guess.

Oh god, I don't think you could pay me to watch this.

Sean Pen is testing the Academy to see if they'll give him an Oscar for anything.

I made a bet with my roommate over whether this would be a comedy or drama.

After watching we gave the pool to charity.

I think he deserves an award for out Robert Smith-ing Robert Smith.

Also it's nice to see that David Byrne's finally grown into his suit.

HAHAHA, man... the best part of that trailer was the old woman saying "would you like to kill me, dear?" I like me some Byrne, but man does this look fuckin' weird.

He looks like young Trent Reznor.

or

Robert Smith

Sean Penn will do anything. He must think he's Jesus or something? Sometimes I think he over estimates his star power.

Looks wonderful.

theglobe88on Dec. 20, 2011 at 7:48 p.m.

What.

Looks super strange, i don't know that I can listen to Sean Penn talk in a creaky whisper for an 2 hours or more.

You never go full Robert Smith!

What SS officer would ever expect an old washed up rock star to be a Nazi hunter?

zoozillaon Dec. 20, 2011 at 10:35 p.m.

This Must Be The Place is one of my favorite songs, and its still not enough for me to get on board with this movie. Kind of seems too "quirky" for its own good.

David Byrne and Frances McDormand would be enough, but when you throw in Sean Penn looking like a New York Doll, it all gets a little too much.

RahRahRoboton Dec. 20, 2011 at 10:40 p.m.

Terrible. Take a lap.

Vonocourton Dec. 20, 2011 at 11:48 p.m.

Eh, does look full of quirk, but the shot of him with the old lady glasses made me chuckle. I'll probably watch it.

Popcornon Dec. 21, 2011 at 1:05 a.m.

Is he supposed to be the singer of The Cure?

Also, sure, why not.

Ferroson Dec. 21, 2011 at 1:25 a.m.

What, hang on what? Fucking Sean Penn...

Castielon Dec. 21, 2011 at 3:36 a.m.

Since Talking Heads is one of my favorite bands and considering that David Byrne is in the movie, and also considering that the movie is named after a Talking Heads song, one of their best in my opinion, and also also considering that David Byrne did the music for this... I will probably have to see this some time in my life.

This came out in august in France, it's ok

ProjektGillon Dec. 21, 2011 at 7:47 a.m.

I haven't watched a Sean Penn movie since The Thin Red Line and I don't think I'll be watching one anytime soon.
