Furthering their typecasted celebrity, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles as a smoldering bad ass and comforting grandfather. However, these are the only things that Wanted seems to get right. While Hollywood is notorious for defying and destroying the laws of technology (see Untraceable), it manages to one-up itself as Wesley Gibson googles his name to zero search results. First, he didn’t even put his query in quotations, which opens the floor to any page that contains those two words at any point. Second, say he properly knew how to use search engines, he still would’ve found something seeing as his name is as generic as white bread.

Let’s see what happens when we google “Wesley Gibson” and, for purity, omit the movie title from our return. Oh look, scores of pages!

All nerding out on how to effectively scour the Net aside, this is… still awful.

Oh wit. I’ll be a weekly visitor here, reading you has made me smile.

Did you know that Morgan Freeman has never had an on screen kiss? What the fuck? I guess people just don’t want to watch the guy that they prop up as a bastion of racial equality by giving him every role in movies that even remotely resembles god, getting it on.

“You can be the magical black guy in every movie, but you aren’t allowed to have any sexuality.”

Seriously, I want Morgan to be all Master Roshi for Angelina in this movie. I want inappropriate work place banter and panty jokes. Because most other human males placed in that position with Angelina Jolie would be that way.

Wow, that went to a different place.

Cheese-stuffed Pizza here I come!

And I’ll be there. Unfortunately, I’ll also be going to The Love Guru. Yeah.

Yeah.

I know. That one, that’s not my choice.
