The Bwog
They're Movie Trailers Donny, Nothing to be Afraid Of
Previous Post | Next Post

Bwog was curious about the large-ish metal movie trailers currently outside the Starbucks on Broadway. We spotted a man who appeared to be fixing a faulty hinge on a door to the trailer. The man informed us that the trailers were for the movie Gigantic. "Who's in it?" we asked. "John Goodman!" the man replied, very obviously as excited as we are.

IMDB informs us that the movie, (which is described as "a comedy centered around a mattress salesman and the young woman whom he meets at his store"), also stars unfortunate bowling pin accident-victim Paul Dano and surprisingly talented singer Zooey Deschanel.

UPDATE 2:48 PM: Paul Dano spotted outside Starbucks smoking a cigarette. Swoon/gag.

say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, at least it's an ethos.

I'm convinced she gets roles just because of her intense blue eyes and hipster bangs.
