Tobes, I'm Thinkin' We'd Make A Great Buddy/Cop Movie Duo

Musician/actor Jim Belushi spent a majority of the Lakers' playoff game yesterday pitching Tobey Maguire various projects that Belushi has been developing. Belushi first pitched Maguire on a reboot of the K-9 franchise, which was followed quickly by a project where Maguire would be a cop from a foreign country and Belushi is a cop from LA and they have to team up to solve a major international crime. Belushi noticed that Maguire's attention was fading, so Belushi pulled out what he thought was his trump card, a project about a wacky married guy and his equally as wacky uncle trying to figure women out. Maguire paused for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, you were saying something?"

I was at this game and they did a big thing on the jumbotron of "Hey look at all the celebrities in the place." Everyone cheered when Jack, Tobey, Jim Belushi were shown. Even UCLA bballer Kevin Love and rapper Biz Markie got some love. But then they showed Lukas Haas (who is going grey btw) and the crowd was silent. No boos and no cheers. It was awkward and Haas totally knew it. At least if people booed that would have meant they knew who he was!
