I've seen a stylized animated version of The Clone Wars; I've seen countless 3-D animated sequences in the Star Wars films. So I really have no idea what this trailer is referencing when it says, "Prepare to see Star Wars like you've never seen it before." How is this like I've... / Continue →

"In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back." What more do you want in a description? Venture below the cut for the trailer--made by the creators of Star Wreck, I'm told, though I have no idea what that means.... / Continue →

0-:30 - Help! I'm trapped in a sponsored kaleidoscope! Phew, I'm out. Apparently that was just the portal to a Nickelodeon locker room. :30-4:00 - The constant rhythmic movements, the paralyzing hallucinations, the guttural outbursts, the insane scribblings, the Asperger-level... / Continue →

The best trailer for WALL-E yet. Kung Fu Panda Trailer 2 [Yahoo!]... / Continue →

As far as I know, that ill-conceived, low-budget Anna Nicole Smith biopic I mentioned a few months ago never came out. But I did just find out that, like so many hotly-anticipated cinema events, it's been leaked online! The news gave me a moment of excitement that quickly passe... / Continue →

It's hard to read at this size, but the tagline reads "comes before the fall," referring to the plot in which two brothers struggle to keep their Wall Street company going in August 2001, a month before 9/11. It replaced the original tagline--one more appropriate for the poster... / Continue →

Usually it's easy to root for underdog John Cusack. But will it be so easy if his voice is hidden behind the image of a hunchbacked David Gest? Not so much; particularly when the film's decent premise (a stock mad scientist sidekick--an "igor"--tries to make it on his own) is h... / Continue →

Alright, Bigger, Stronger, Faster*. If you want to blatantly call out Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, Shane Mosley (I guess?) clearly Sylvester Stallone, or Arnold Schwartzenegger on steroid use, you go right ahead. But the Hulkster? Come on. If hosting unbalanced competitions betwe... / Continue →

As we sit idly by, waiting for the world to improve itself, the know the writing/directing/side-splitting team of Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg (the Meet the Spartans guys!) are hard at work on yet another excuse for Carmen Electra to consider herself a "comedienne". But ou... / Continue →

The press kit for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has been released, including 27 new images and a lengthy, unnecessary backstory for the fabled CRYSTAL SKULLS! In short, they're a plot device in a very specific archaeological erotic novel: When she first to... / Continue →

Like a breeze of pollen spreading its offensive seeds across the landscape, a new batch of G.I. Joe character shots have turned up around the web, and they're already causing a harsh reaction from my distorted-nostalgia allergy. Each shot originally appeared on a different site... / Continue →

Time to update my records: amputee beer baroness whose legs have been replaced by glass beer canisters is no longer my favorite absurd Isabella Rossellini role. Since the release of Sundance's Green Porno yesterday, that coveted award is now a toss-up between sadomasochist herm... / Continue →

The only thing stranger than watching Josh Brolin do a two-hour impression of Will Ferrell doing an impression of George W. Bush (or possibly of an old, nondescript man toiling through a lemon) will be watching Jason Sudeikis doing an impression of Josh Brolin's impression for ... / Continue →

Being a blogger allows one a lot of luxuries you don't get when you have to go into an office. You can stay in your pajamas as long as you want; play loud and/or obnoxious music; work anywhere with an internet connection; and, when the occasion calls for it, you can watch half ... / Continue →

You've probably heard racist jokes about how the Chinese drop silverware to name their children, or have hilarious penis-length-implication names like Long Wang (if not, now you have, and you should try to meet more racists). But you don't know the whole story. Mike Myers has s... / Continue →

This poster seems to portray four robed characters, equipped with glowing swords, hip-deep in star wars. Behind them, a group of small, near-identical characters appear to also be warring, possibly in a sub-war of the larger, aforementioned star war. As evidence of previous epi... / Continue →

The new season of This American Life begins this began last Sunday, so brace yourself for the nasally voice of Ira Glass (now with visuals!) with this clip from the first episode. In this animation of a previous radio broadcast, Ira and his friends stumble upon the quirkiness o... / Continue →

It's really strange how many times this poster suggests the presence of guns without ever showing them. 1. Bullet holes in the thin layer of glass between us and the poster-verse. Man, I bet some guys are seriously shooting some guns at the fourth wall. 2. Does Nicolas Cage h... / Continue →

You're heard me rave about the wonders of the British series Spaced; now hear other equally-unrelated but more notable people say the same! Previously available only in Region 2 format, the Simon Pegg/Jessica Stevenson/Edgar Wright sitcom is at last coming to U.S. shores July 2... / Continue →

I haven't read the books, so I don't really know much about Twilight outside of this teaser trailer. So judging by that alone, I'd say it's about a teenage vampire who uses intense staring to suck out the souls of his victims. I know I started to feel my soul slip around the si... / Continue →

Is Aaron depressed? My favorite blogger, Aaron of the official Street Fighter movie blog, has updated the site with two new images--a shot of new character Det. Maya Sunee and a fighting storyboard. But more importantly, Aaron's hip, youthful jargon has been seriously downplaye... / Continue →

Any awards show brave and thoughtful enough to nominate National Treasure: Book of Secrets as the best picture of the year deserves our special attention. So clearly the MTV Movie Award nominations warrant your perusal. As executive producer Mark Burnett, and anyone with half a... / Continue →

The issue with Pixar's latest character, WALL-E--a robot that collects trash--is that videos like this one, in which he interacts with a pair of discarded headphones, teach kids that it's alright to play with refuse. How long until some kids pick up a set of headphones with a h... / Continue →

What is supposedly concept art of Aaaron Eckhart as Batman villain Two-Face has started showing up around the cyber-world last night, and Jax and Dan (individually) were nice enough to send it here. I've hidden it under the cut for those who want a surprise or with sensitive st... / Continue →

Remembering when you looked forward to Will Ferrell movies? It's tough to recall with all the layers of sports spoofs covering your memories with novelty wigs, but there was a time, at least for me, that Anchorman was semi-revered, and news of a sequel would bring about somethi... / Continue →

There's this new movie coming out, something along the lines of a National Treasure or a Tomb Raider. It involves an older gentleman--sort of a cool Han Solo character with a whip and detective hat--the kid from Even Stevens, Bill Murray's girlfriend from Scrooged, and Queen El... / Continue →

Riding high on the overwhelming success of Iron Man this weekend, Marvel has decided to reveal its feature film slate for the next three years. This way, we'll say, "Ooh, goody, Thor will totally be the next Iron Man!" instead of, "A Thor movie? Are you f***ing kidding me?" Whi... / Continue →

This weekend, MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff attended Maiker Faire, presumably to be honored for creating the character to have made the most ridiculous shit by hand. But it was Zlotoff's news of an improved method of diffusing a bomb with an office supply that would prove ... / Continue →

1. Iron Man - Apparently some people saw this iron character movie, and it made something like $100.8 million. Go figure. 2. Made of Honor - Maid $15.5 million this weekend. See what I did there? Used a nonsensical pun. 3. Baby Mama - $10.3 million, and it turns out the title... / Continue →

We've already discussed the merits of the latest Dark Knight trailer in several other posts about the questionably-watchable versions we've seen of it, so let's just watch this thing. Over and over again. Because it looks really good. And yes, that is Two-Face. 'The Dark Knigh... / Continue →
