Why Don't They Just Shoot Me In The Face?

Ugh, this is NOT the kind of story one wants to read first thing in the morning on a Monday. This is the sort of plot synopsis that makes one want to go immediately home, take one of those Silkwood scrub-the-radioactivity-off showers, and sleep for full month. Barf:

"Matt Dillon is in final negotiations to co-star in the Walt Disney Pictures comedy "Old Dogs" says The Hollywood Reporter. Penned by David Diamond and David Weissman, the story revolves around a divorced father (Robin Williams) of 6-year-old twins and his womanizing best friend/business partner (John Travolta) who have their hands full when they're forced to care for the kids for two weeks.

Dillon will play Barry, the overzealous leader of the summer camp where they take the kids. He is ultraconservative and thinks the two men (Williams, Travolta) are actually gay lovers who have adopted the twins. He keeps a sharp eye on the two at all times. Kelly Preston also stars, and "Wild Hogs" helmer Walt Becker directs."

I don't know that a more stomach-churning group of "talent" has been assembled in quite some time. Can't wait for the inevitable and really timely "who dropped the soap?" schtick. Ugh.

Dude, another "Oh, it's funny because people think they're gay... when they're really not!" movie? And from the same guy that made Wild Hogs?

Has there ever been a Disney movie with the phrase "gay lovers" used...? I'm kinda scared actually...

Wow, this is nasty. Did Williams become a scientologist when he was pretending to get off coke? I wonder how many masseurs Travolta ran through during filming.
