Who Wants to See ‘The Invention of Lying’ With the Movie Geeks?
And, even if you don’t, lie to us. We are giving away passes to see ‘The Invention of Lying’ starring the hilarious Ricky Gervais, but you have to act quick. The screening is tomorrow night in St. Louis.
Here’s the official synopsis:
From Ricky Gervais, the award-winning creator and star of the original BBC series The Office and HBO’s Extras, comes the new romantic comedy The Invention of Lying, which takes place in an alternate reality in which lying–even the concept of a lie–does not even exist. Everyone–from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street–speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. But when a down-on-his-luck loser named Mark suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards.
In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realize that things are getting a little out of control when some of his tallest tales are being taken as, well, gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.

In the intent of being an April Fools joke, I told people that I was gay. However, the joke didn't go over so well in the weeks leading up to April, so I decided to just let it die. Unfortunately for me one of my best friends who I had known for eight years leading up to this didn't get the memo and spent the rest of the summer thinking that I was gay. She spent the entire summer trying to set me up on dates with guys she knew. It was hysterical. Of course she didn't talk to me when she found out the truth…
When "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" came out I was working a show and noticed the sound guys kids rereading the series before they read the 7th book. I had already read it at the time and so I decided to screw with them by telling them "Harry turns to the dark side and kills everyone then Malfoy comes up from behind him with the Sword of Gryffindor and cuts Harry's head off screaming 'There can only be one!' " I was laughing as I walked away. Two weeks later before the final performance the kids came up to me telling me I lied to them because that's not how the book ends.
My mom and I lied to my dad for years about his coffee. Over the course of 2 years he was weaned off of caffeinated coffee and onto decaf without ever knowing it.
I told my friend Everett from Chicago, that i was a Cubs fan and I was really concerned in August when they started to fade away. He gave me his tickets to the last Cubs-Cardinals series. He just did not realize that if you are born in St. louis, there is no way in the hell you could possibly be a cubs fan.
I must say that I was absolutely thrilled with this movie. It was hysterical throughout, quite original, a great story, and had an amazing cast with plenty of great cameos. Quite simply, I will have no problem bringing others to see this movie and paying the ticket price. It is quite worth it.
