As Macgregor points out, it wasn't the possum fur! Here's <a href="http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB120718322940285111.html" rel="nofollow">the story in the WSJ</a>. So that leaves - Robert Parker played by Javier Bardem, which indeed was a spoof from <a href="http://www.decanter.com/news/201337.html" rel="nofollow">Decanter.com</a>. Loved the Bardem as mass-murderer pic. Glad this was so much fun!

As Macgregor points out, it wasn’t the possum fur! Here’s the story in the WSJ.

So that leaves – Robert Parker played by Javier Bardem, which indeed was a spoof from Decanter.com. Loved the Bardem as mass-murderer pic.

(Buried in the comments to that post is the news, from Decanter, that Moet & Chandon was fined $50,000 for having rose petals in an advertisement that were too pink and therefore too suggestive of happiness.) Why would the French need to pawn their wine if they're not buying as much as they used to? --- But wait! GAAAA! The pawn shop story is true. (See Vinography, again.) OK, it must be the oppossum thing. Or else none of them are spoofs at all.

I found nothing about the movie on variety.com. I guess we'll have to wait to see Bardem as Prker saying "Call it, friendo". I was convinced it was the Bardem-Parker story.
