Twitter Ruins Jonah Hill's Chances of Starring in Iron Man 3

movieline.com — One day, we’ll mythologize these early years of Twitter lawlessness as if it were some latter-day Old West. (Except in this case, the outlaws don’t rob banks — they tweet fake messages about dipping a toe in bisexual waters from their account “TheREALJudgeJudy.”)

  • DarthVolta, on 07/14/2009, -8/+118Does anyone else have serious Jonah Hill fatigue? I can only handle so much of the "I'm freakishly fat and I smoke pot and I'm always unabashedly crude and sexual in every movie role" comedy.
  • Coolaznrice, on 07/15/2009, -3/+108See also: Seth Rogen
  • inactive, on 07/14/2009, -6/+84One day, nobody will be talking about Twitter (and that day is coming sooner rather than later)
  • sockpuppets, on 07/15/2009, -5/+59Your mom.
  • AndrewDB, on 07/15/2009, -2/+46Who cares?
  • Bitties, on 07/15/2009, -4/+43Doctor: This is the Seth Rogen gene.
    Doctor: It will give you the appearance of being funny even though you haven't done anything funny.
    Peter: Hey, doc, is it gonna be much longer?
    Peter: I gotta get some beers with the fellas before I go on this date.
    Doctor: How charming and chubby. I'm rooting for you.
  • Sideshowslob, on 07/14/2009, -1/+39I am the real Jonah Hill. Tweet me @ SuperCerealJonah
  • goomba323, on 07/15/2009, -1/+28It's all he's got. It still could be funny depending on the script. Most comedians, like it or not, play the same characters over and over again.

    I still find him funny....given the right material.
  • Spire3660, on 07/15/2009, -2/+26Im jsut stunned on many levels.

    #1 this is not news, its pseudo-news.
    #2 If Jon Favreau actually believed it was him then hes jsut plain stupid.
    #3 Who the hell takes as fact anything coming out of a twitter account?
    #4 Twitter needs to die. Its a decent idea, but holy ***** are people using it for the most mundane ***** ever. Best use of twitter was reports coming out of Iran.
  • bizchris, on 07/15/2009, -0/+24I thought Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill were the same guy. Now I'm really confused.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -1/+22I hate twitter + 125 more characters
  • Barackalypse, on 07/15/2009, -2/+22Just when I thought I couldn't care less about a Twitter story, they go and prove me wrong.
  • staley517, on 07/15/2009, -0/+18i ***** hope so.
  • koanage, on 07/15/2009, -0/+18or seth rogan if you resized him and didn't hold down shift
  • leamanc, on 07/15/2009, -1/+16There's a great new site called IMDb where you can look up what movies people have been in: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1706767/

    But, to answer your question: Superbad.
  • Cainxinth, on 07/15/2009, -0/+15He needs to shave that neck beard.
  • lolwatermelon, on 07/15/2009, -2/+15I've actually never heard of this guy. What's he been in?
  • AeroZeppelin, on 07/15/2009, -1/+13I guess Jonah does have a Digg account.
  • Spartan61, on 07/15/2009, -0/+10is it a good thing to be considered a shoe-in for a character named Gargantus?
  • Wreckage, on 07/15/2009, -0/+10He's been in Seth Rogan
  • TobiasParker, on 07/15/2009, -0/+9Wait, was it the real Jon Favreau on Twitter, or the "real" Jon Favreau? Because celebrity impostor tweet-fights is some higher plane ***** that I can't get my head around.

    --First comment on the video, sorry Rodger.
  • Kajaah117, on 07/15/2009, -4/+12Maybe after a few more movies as the same character, I might be. But his line deliveries in Superbad are just too awesome.
  • norman619, on 07/15/2009, -0/+8No he was McLovin.

    /facepalm
  • TheBigBad, on 07/15/2009, -0/+8Somebody needs to tell Jonah that skinny jeans are made for skinny people. When he wears them at the awards shows, he looks like a potato resting on toothpicks. Get rid of the horned rim glasses and fedora too, you don't pull it off well. Funny fat people should only be allowed to dress like slobs e.g. Chris Farley or John Belushi.
  • feliphe, on 07/15/2009, -3/+10"Meh"
  • norman619, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8He's a new comer to Hollywood. He's been in a few films but not many. His break out role was in Superbad which also happenes to be one of the funniest films I have had the pleaseure of seeing in a very long time.
  • f0dder, on 07/15/2009, -0/+7Why does Iron Man3 need a comedian? It's the Batman franchise that needs a new clown.
  • bradleyland, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6Sideshowslob. Sounds about right.
  • norman619, on 07/15/2009, -1/+6shiddysmurf is a humorless idiot.
  • Inceptious, on 07/15/2009, -5/+10Holy *****. Why did I just read that article? It had twitter in the headline. I JUST WASTED 30 SECONDS OF MY LIFE.

    ***** TWITTER.
  • waydee, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4***** twitter and ***** Jonah Hill.
  • Janv1er, on 07/15/2009, -2/+6So someone fooling around with a fake account ruins this guys chances of being in a movie?
    Logical.
  • AeroZeppelin, on 07/15/2009, -3/+7He's like a miniature, less-funny version of Seth Rogan.
  • ahhell, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4HAHA!! He's funny because he's fat!!!
  • Treshnell, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Finally a case where "I could care less!" is actually valid!
  • ftwb, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Now you do.
  • bonk2k, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4This article is awful. It doesn't tell me if Jonah was actually being considered for a role in Iron Man 3 or that it was just a joking possibility that the author came up with. Also it gives us no details as to what the argument between Favreau and Fake Hill were all about. Sure I could go read both of their twitter feeds but ***** that.
  • Grimi, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4Thank you twitter
  • emptypew, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3http://graphjam.com/2009/05/03/song-chart-memes-th ...
  • Atheuz, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Good, I really can't stand him anymore.
  • Adgeman, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2They were aiming for fat unfunny bloke but that didn't sound superhero enough
  • chuckDontSurf, on 07/15/2009, -2/+4""Meh""
  • oehmer08, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Hey, you don't even know what the story is for Iron Man 3!
  • soul3n, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3wasnt he the fat kid in superbad who's obsessed with penises?
  • m0deth, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3thank jebus, iron man doesn't need fat, pathetic one liner barfers
  • umdigger, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Why would anyone consider someone who basically just tells jokes in stoner/virgin/highschool movies for an action movie? I think he's funny, but not the right choice for Iron Man 3.
  • Mankind121, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Some 15 year old ass from ohio

  • PiratesNStuff, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Yo dawg, I herd you need a Joker. I got jokes.
  • pagno, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2I see a massive class-action suit on the horizon.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Stupid - if it ain't http://twitter.com/fakemagnumpi then it sucks
