Spoiler Guy – HBO's Hung For The Month of August

15 July 2009 9:17 AM, PDT | From TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news

Next month on HBO's daring new Comedy Hung, Ray (Thomas Jane) returns home to find his family murdered and uses his special forces training to go on a murderous revenge spree.  Okay, I made that up, and I know I will score no points with the comic geeks but Thomas Jane was my favorite Punisher.  Now, as for what will really happen in this new series concerning an economically embattled divorcee who turns to using his enormous penis to turn things around – not literally, although they seem to insinuate he could – read on.

Just look at some of these titles: Do it Monkey, You Cum Just Right, The Indelible Stench.  You can't tell me the Hung producers aren't in touch with some of the unsavory realities of poor Ray's gig.  Ick.

On a serious note, if you have not watch Hung yet – you really should.  It's as exploitative as you would think it could be,

HBO's "Hung": The Show About a Guy With a Big…

1 July 2009 7:05 PM, PDT | From AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news

All photos credit: HBO

What does it say that there’s now a TV show about a man with a huge penis?

That television shows have become more audacious, more deliberately shocking than ever, in order to draw attention to themselves in an era of media overload? That men are now as objectified by their body parts as women? That the male member is finally seeing the light of day?

Actually, what’s most shocking about Hung, which debuted last Sunday on HBO, is that it isn’t really all that shocking.

The show tells the story of Ray Drecker (Thomas Jane), a former high school jock who is now a high school coach, and who has come to realize just what a loser he is. His basketball team can't win a game, and his very modest house, located next to a McMansion owned by an obnoxious successful neighbor, just burned down.

TV Review: HBO’s ‘Hung’ With Thomas Jane is Surprisingly Limp

26 June 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news

Chicago – Pardon the obvious metaphors, but when you name a show “Hung” and feature a motivational speech about the lead character finding “his tool,” it’s damn-near impossible not to fall into the same pattern. Despite a clever set-up and talented cast, the new HBO comedy starring Thomas Jane, Jane Adams, and Anne Heche is missing that spark, that chemistry that elevates an experience from being just another TV one-night stand.

Television Rating: 3.0/5.0 “Hung” uses male sexuality to comment on the state of the economy today. What is the one thing they can’t take away from the unemployed, divorced, miserable modern man? His enormous pecker.

Thomas Jane.

The funnier-than-you-think (don’t forget his amazing guest role on “Arrested Development”) Thomas Jane stars as the former high school sports legend turned middle-aged loser Ray Drecker, a Detroit high school basketball coach struck by a string of bad luck.

Edinburgh 2009: The Tomato Report . Spread, Fish Tank and The September Issue Unspool

22 June 2009 9:26 PM, PDT | From Rotten Tomatoes | See recent Rotten Tomatoes news

David Mackenzie's history with the Edinburgh Film Festival is a long one. Both Young Adam and Hallam Foe are set in Scotland and played at the festival, with the latter opening proceedings in 2007. It's fair to say programming a Mackenzie film for the festival is something of a given, but there was no sight of the director at last night's screening of his new film Spread, with word being that he wasn't particularly happy with the end result following studio clashes. The tale of a young man (Aston Kutcher) who seduces a rich older woman (Anne Heche) so he...

Spread Out This One-Sheet

12 June 2009 1:34 PM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news

Little is known about the upcoming film Spread starring Ashton Kutcher other than it features one of the worst actors working in Shane Brolly. Looking at this new one sheet and the cast list, it does happen to have the hottest thing about Adventureland in Margarita Levieva. I’m none too familiar with the film or David Mackenzie’s work so here’s a plot synopsis from IMDb:

Set in modern day Los Angeles, Spread is a hard biting story about a high-end lethario, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher), who has slept his way into a life of privilege. He shares his secrets with us as he hosts parties and beds scores of women, all while living it up at the Hollywood Hills home of a middle-aged female attorney, Samantha (Anne Heche). Everything is going swimmingly until Nikki meets a gorgeous waitress named Heather (Margarita Levieva), who, unbeknownst to him, is playing

Ashton Kutcher in the New Poster for 'Spread'

11 June 2009 4:47 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Anchor Bay sent over the new poster for Spread, the new Ashton Kutcher movie. I know - I'm surprised I didn't get a Tweet from him about it, too.

The Kutch plays a serial womanier - or as the plot outline describes him, "a sexual grifter" - who has bedded so many women it's kind of become his profession. He lives for free, courtesy of the older attorney he entertains (Anne Heche), and then he meets a young waitress playing the same game he is.

There are lots of movies that have used similar approaches before (the Audrey Tautou movie Priceless, most recently), and they're usually fine until the story actually has to go somewhere. It's played a few festivals, and some reviews are better than others.

Hung Television Trailer

8 June 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news

Thomas Jane could finally have his real break-out role. HBO has premiered the (Sfw) trailer for Hung, a series in which Jane plays a high-school basketball coach / gym teacher who realizes that he can become a star by exploiting his giant...sexual apparatus. Anne Heche co-stars as his ex-wife, and Jane Adams (Little Children) is aboard, too, as the woman who becomes, essentially, the pimp for Jane's character. But the most notable creative name is Alexander Payne (Sideways, Election), who directed the pilot and will stay on as executive producer. Watch the trailer after the jump. Despite the attention-getting title and premise, creators Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson insist that Jane's character's schlong is the hook, not the punchline. "It has its sexual moments, but the show is very much about what's happening in the country, how people are trying to survive using what God had given them," Lipkin has said.
