Dear Hollywood, Please do not ever give Kevin Costner another role that requires an accent. Particularly a Boston one. Did you not see Thirteen Days? If he messed it up that badly in that one, what in the hell made you think he could pull it off in The Company Men? Seriously. Tommy Lee Jones apparently knows better than to attempt it and he was still good. Costner no can do accents. This. A thousand times this. And I LOVE Kevin Costner. But I did like that he wore a Kelly's Roast Beef tshirt.

Dear Hollywood I see You've made a movie with Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, two of the ugliest people on the planet. Their giant-sized heads look like hard boiled eggs. You routinely mock women and their weight, boob size, faces and... you give me men like these two, and Seth Rogan and Jack Black??? Fuck you and your double standards! This. It's just another reminder of who still runs Hollywood. The women all have to be gorgeous, thin and under 30, but the guys can be as schlubby and dumpy as they want so the coveted young male demographic can identify with them. And don't even get me started on when these schlubs are paired up with model-perfect women who are WAY out of their league. Although I do have to say that Seth Rogen has been looking pretty good lately. Seth Rogen got in better shape below the neck for Green Lantern but I saw him a few months ago and he's pretty much back to schlub. And he has a face for comedy but he ain't cute. When I saw the poster for The Dilemma, I thought the real dilemma was trying to figure out which of the two stars was considered a "hottie" and which was a "schlumpy Joe Average-type". Because really, you can't tell which is which. At least Kevin James looks alert and friendly. Vince Vaughn looks half dead and his BMI is probably only 5 points away from Kevin's.

I was trying to figure out whose Bahstahn accent was worse in that movie: Costner's or Ben Affleck's?

I didn't see the movie, but shouldn't Ben's accent be natural since he's from there?

In theory, but he's dropped whatever accent he had in real life so it's somewhat forced whenever he does it in a movie now. And he grew up in Cambridge so I don't think he ever had a "Boston" accent in the first place. Matt Damon's the same, his accent in Good Will Hunting was off. Mark Wahlberg's is real though, if you listen close in his other movies it slips through now and then. He had the only authentic accent in The Departed. Pure Dorchester.
Affleck's accent was still better than Costner's though. Much better.

Too bad he went back to schlub. He had something to work with when he slimmed down. He's not OMGSEXY, but he seems like he'd be fun to hang out with. Not that that excuses him from being paired with babes like Elizabeth Banks, of course.
Vince Vaughn looks like someone who would make me reach for my pepper spray if I saw him coming toward me in a bar. He's just that creepy. When he first came on the scene he was pretty hot. What happened?
It's funny the formula they use in Hollywood. Schlumpy Everyman = chubby, balding and looks like any guy you'd see in your neighborhood bar. Schlumpy Everywoman = swimsuit model with no makeup. Awkward Male Nerd = gangly, goofy-looking and badly-dressed. Awkward Female Nerd = swimsuit model with glasses and a ponytail. And so on.
That's why I like Mike & Molly even though it has it's faults. Molly is supposed to be fat and they use an actress that is genuinely overweight. The sister is also on the plump side and no mention is made of her weight at all in-story. Plus, the character portrayed as the sexiest and most glamorous is thin, but she's also in her sixties. They're supposed to resemble Someone You Might Know, and they actually do.

Dear Hollywood,
I still don't care about Will Smith's kids. Well, I really don't care about the kids of any stars. But they've been showing up on my radar, and they're both really annoying. I want to not know who they are.
Thanks.
YNH

Seconded. I like Will Smith, and maybe his kids are perfectly nice, but I'm getting really tired of seeing them everywhere.

If my encounter with him 10+ years ago is any indication, I would say heavy drinking has not been his friend.
