Jamie Foxx IS: Half magical negro. Half magical retard. All cellist. 

Ok, it's basically the same idea as Radio, but less funny and with Robert Downey trying to help him out, i.e., exploit him. So I guess it's also like Rain Man but with a black guy. And I guess it's kind of like that one movie where the guy plays piano and goes crazy. Shine. Boy, I'd forgotten all about that movie.  

In other words, The Soloist is like every movie ever made. I predict it will gross 500 million dollars and win every single Oscar including best animated short. 

To be fair, this is the kind of story that everyone can relate to. Who among us doesn’t want to have our own crazy homeless man to play music and otherwise amuse us whenever we want? But we know we can’t. Cause the next thing you know, they want to talk to you and shake your hand and tell you about how they used to have sex all the time. That’s what you learn when you go to USC.

I’m not really sure what the beginning of this preview has to do with anything. The journalist falls off of his bike, so he gets writer’s block, and ends up in Pershing Square? And I thought writer’s block was more of like a novelist thing. Maybe he’s an alcoholic too. You don’t hear a lot about drinking and cycling, but I bet it’s pretty dangerous. By the time you are done reading this sentence, another hipster will have died from drinking and biking. 

So I saw this preview with a chick, and after it was over, as I was trying to decide which snarky joke to make, she turns to me, eyes like saucers, and says, "I would see that movie TEN TIMES."  

Chicks love Robert Downey. He’s got that whole, “he’s broken and scarred and i can fix him” thing going on. Oh, that and eyes you get lost in. I guess God does give with both hands.
