“A previously unrecorded humpback whale has been spotted off the Kerry coast. Feeding near the Blasket Islands, the whale is only the 23rd individual humpback ever recorded in Irish waters. Its sighting marks the beginning of humpback season in the southwest. TG4 News report. 29 July 2013.”
Talk to me not of Blaskets, man.
What you may need to know
1. Surprisingly good trailer alert.
2. That said, Ben Stiller’s record as director-star is pretty good: we’re thinking Zoolander (2001) and Tropic Thunder (2008). He also directed The Cable Guy (1996), and did a great cameo.
3. Hopefully, he’s knocking the focking Fokker films on the head.
4. He also produces (and cameos in) our very favorite web series.
5. Minus point for Adam Scott’s fake beard.
6. Bonus point for unlikely Sean Penn cameo.
7. Prognosis: Stiller wants Oscar. Stranger things have happened.
Release Date: Christmas
