From Paris With Love is Stupid

"From Paris With Love" starring John Travolta hits theaters next weekend. I haven't seen the movie, but I know it's stupid for the reason that it's using other movies to sell itself. A lot of movies use other movies to sell itself, but they acknowledge that they're doing so. "From the director of "Knocked Up" comes "Funny People", or "From the people who brought you "Shaun of the Dead"... "Hot Fuzz." That's fine. "From Paris With Love" even does that by saying "From the director of "Taken." Great.

But, this stupid movie is using a James Bond title and just changing the location. Believe it or not, there are idiots that will reason that since they enjoyed "From Russia With Love", they should see this.

Secondly, in one of the trailers John Travolta says, "Every man has his vice. Mine is a Royale with cheese." The only reason anyone in America knows what a Royale with cheese is comes from what John Travolta said sixteen years ago in "Pulp Fiction". John Travolta, guns, Royale with cheese. Hmm. This movie must be as good as "Pulp Fiction". Right? Wrong.

Last, they talk about the "Karate Kid" in another one of the scenes in a trailer. Are you kidding me? Stop. Be your own movie.

Go away.
