Critics Corner: Chapter 27

Jared Leto as Mark David Chapman! Reviews are coming in from Sundance. Hoo. Ray.

Rotten Tomatoes writes "Leto did a great job of gaining those extra pounds."

Slash Film says, "Leto is almost entirely unrecognizable!"

Sean Lennon raves, "Tacky!"

Hope your gout's better Jared.

Wow, she's twitchy. Either there was a bee over her shoulder or she was flying on angel dust.

Oh, and I prefer Fat Leto to 30 Seconds to Mars. Any. Day.

Jared Leto is beginning to approach Mark David Chapman on the creep-o-meter.

By not casting Rainn Wilson as MDC, they've really Shruted it...

I think there is a good movie to be made about Mark David Chapman and this is not it. As I understand it, the film only tackles the few days before he shoots Lennon, and doesn't even try to explain what may have lead him to do this or why he's such a nutjob.

Lindsay's all "I wouldn't - he's - Sean, he's no - he's my friend."
Says Lindsay's publicist: Lindsay was perturbed that day by the subject matter. There were no illicit substances involved. At all.

The movie was awful. I can't believe I waited in line at Sundance for it.
