Eddie Murphy’s Giant Traveling Head
From THE HATER — Eddie Murphy hasn’t passed his prime, but he seems to think it’s ok to make some terrible movies. And with that, the most terrible press tour that he has ever taken. Check out the details, after the jump!
Giant Head Of Eddie Murphy Slouches Towards Times Square
As predicted, the “Fuck it” phase of Eddie Murphy’s career is now in full swing, and what a spectacularly overblown phase it is. To promote the multi-Eddie-Murphyed film Meet Dave, someone thought it would be a really great idea to construct a frighteningly large replica of Eddie Murphy’s head, place it on a dolly, and send it on a tour of the United States. What? Yes.
From ET:
Apart from saying, “Do I have to do anything? No? Well, then fuck it. Do whatever you want,” the man who owns the face that is the inspiration for this one-man portable Mount Rushmore of crappy comedy, Eddie Murphy, isn’t really involved. Leaving only poor Gabrielle Union as the Giant Eddie Murphy Head’s de facto ambassador, traveling with the freakish cranium to explain to the various townspeople that, despite appearances, the Giant Eddie Murphy Head is not a large beast sent to terrorize their livestock, trample their fields so grain can no longer grow there, and leave a trail of crushed homes in its thunderous, ever-smiling wake.
“You have nothing to fear from the Giant Eddie Murphy Head, for He is a merciful Giant Eddie Murphy Head,” Union will yell from the threshold of the ear-door to the cowering throngs of people lining the streets as the towering God-Head is wheeled through village after village. “Place your offerings near His neck, and the Giant Eddie Murphy Head will protect your town from the virulent, terrible Meet Dave plague now sweeping the land.”
Eddie Murphy’s Career Path Continues Trending Crapwards
Sequels of Disney film remakes in order to repair tarnished public image? Check.
Paycheck-snagger that isn’t even memorable enough to be brought up as a career lowlight? Check.
Overshadowing dip into legitimacy by playing fat black woman and Chinese stereotype dad in the same movie? Checky Checkerson.
I guess the only thing left for Murphy now is to play either another skin-toned racial caricature (how about Native American?) or, I don’t know, maybe play a guy living inside the head of another guy, who is also played by Murphy? Like a Peter Sellars meets “Herman’s Head” kind of thing?
Oh…. oh dear God no…..
(thanks, The Hater)
Eddie Murphy Insiiiiiide Eddie Murphy?!
From THE HATER — It’s one thing for Eddie Murphy to be prancing around dressed as a woman in a fat suit. But it is a far greater cry for attention when he plays a character inside the head, of a character, played by him. Find more out about this cinematic gem, after the jump!
Eddie Murphy Is Just Fucking With Us Now
Remember when Eddie Murphy was nominated for an Oscar a while ago and he lost to Alan Arkin? No? Well Eddie Murphy does. In fact, judging by his latest multi-Eddie-Murphyed film Meet Dave, it’s obvious he’s still angry about it and is exacting a terrible revenge on moviegoers (complete with Saturday Night Fever jokes).
I imagine that Murphy saw his Oscar nomination as one last lunge toward legitimacy, toward a career that didn’t involve fat suit after sweaty fat suit, or haunted mansions, or broods of unruly children. But when, at the last minute, the golden prize was yanked just out of his grasp, Murphy resolved to run full force in the other direction. “They want lowest common denominator Eddie Murphy?” he must have thought, lungs burning to reach the absolute end of comedy, where Meet Dave resides, “I’ll give them lowest common denominator Eddie Murphy.” And give it to us he did. Twice (at least) in the same movie.
I was disappointed to find out that there are other actors in Meet Dave. This movie is a huge missed opportunity for Eddie Murphy, because in a way it could have been his ultimate show of defiance: Dave could be Eddie Murphy, with a tiny Eddie Murphy inside his brain, who only encounters other people played by Eddie Murphy, and falls in love with a woman played by Eddie Murphy, and drives a car played by Eddie Murphy, and works in a building that is Eddie Murphy, and nothing much happens except for a string of Eddie Murphys. Then, at the end, all the Eddie Murphys gather outside the Eddie Murphy building, under the warm rays from an Eddie Murphy sun, and Dave (the original Eddie Murphy) turns to the camera, holds up an angry fist, smiles brightly and raises his middle finger (played, of course, by Eddie Murphy).
