Burt Reynolds boozes it up in You're In The Movies spot

There's something of Orson Welles' Paul Masson advertisement in this spot by Burt Reynolds for the upcoming Xbox 360 title, You're In The Movies. I'm guessing its his slurred, haltering speech and the visible waves of raw gin wafting off of his leathered playboy carapace.

I'm guessing the outtakes were classic.

I thought Burt was a pill popper, not a boozer.

The print ads for this campaign nailed the movie-star-parody tone a lot better than this video. But Reynolds is having fun with it; he definitely doesn't take himself too seriously (see also: his Robot Chicken car race sketch).
