Can there ever be too much irony? I’m leaning towards yes as the answer. Alanis Morissette made sure she didn’t feature much of it in her hit single and M. Night Shyamalan hasn’t been able to sell us on any of his twists since “The Village.” Perhaps he exchanged his sixth sense for the topic when he cast Bryce Dallas Howard in his films. Their first collaboration was a lot like “10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife,” and Howard coincidentally looks like her Dad.
The latter part of that assessment may seem a bit harsh. I should have used reminds me of Richie Cunningham. You can blame the movie poster of “Lady in the Water” for the association. You are going to need to visit the IMDB page because I don’t want the poster to be the random image that gets posted on Facebook when I send out my advertising tweets (from @MainEventZombie) for this blog. When you look at it and see the Howard name, tell me you don’t see Opie Taylor? Then you see Paul Giammati’s billing, you can’t help but add his hairline to her ginger face. The answer to the equation is Ron Howard.
Revisiting this thought process to justify waiting for the “Happening” to reacquaint myself with M. Night’s work (I’m kidding, I haven’t gotten caught up) has made me forever grateful that I have yet to see any of the ginger girls that I’ve screwed around with in a ball cap. Girls must know that. You do not see any celebs of the female gender, pale complexion and hair that nature gave up on bleaching 10 minutes into the process sporting the look. Well, I imagine Lindsay Lohan has, and she probably showed that Ron Howard isn’t the worst case scenario.
In the end (I need to get back to the ironic theme), at least I’m not reminded of Clint Howard when I think about actresses with traditional a traditional “Annie”-base. Then again, wouldn’t Clint be more suited to play the role of a lead scientist in a played out dinosaur movie franchise? His age may make him more authoritative. WWE needs a likable authority figure. And I needed a title that draws greater interest than “John Cena has one too many syllables to be Rip.”
