Bad sex

You know the sex scene in a movie is bad when it makes you rethink why you were looking forward to the movie in the first (bascially for the sex scenes). Here's a list of movies who fit this category perfectly. I'd like to add Basic Instinct 2 while we're at it! Whatta waste.

Clash of the Titans trailer

This makes me think of saying "not your mom and dad's Clash of the Titans," except that I was a kid when it came out and am now old enough to have a kid saying "not my mom and dad's." Whatever. Looks like a coll updated remake.



Where's the robot owl though?!!!

Tron Legacy begins 12/17/10!

"Tron: Legacy" to be released on Dec. 17, 2010. In IMAX!!!

100 TV and Movie Spoilers in under 5 minutes!

I thought this was pretty good. I've seen most of these movies and shows, but there were a couple that I never saw, never probably will and always wondered what the fuss was about. Perfect! Now I don't have to see them.

I also liked these videos because they actually helped sum up the points of movies I never really understood. American Psycho was a dream, that makes sense finally. Blair takes over Mrs. Garrett's job, makes sense. OK, well here you go:

Top Sci-Fi movies list

I found a list of the top 100 sci-fi films of all time. It's pretty comprehensive and made me appreciate how many of the these movies I've seen again and again. Click the link to see the entire 100, but here's my top 10 from their list (including Total SciFi Online's write-ups):

1) Aliens (1986)
James Cameron cleverly eschewed aping the original, and instead upped the alien quotient and delivered one of the most purely exciting films ever made. But this is no brainless actioner. Cameron waits almost an hour before the acid-blooded xenomorphs make an appearance, while the film transformed Ripley into a bona fide iconic action heroine. There’s also a memorable selection of supporting characters (Hicks, Hudson, Newt, Vasquez) and instantly quotable dialogue (“game over man!”).

2) Tron (1982)
Tron was ignored for many years, but is now widely accepted as a genre landmark, combining stunning – and unique – computer graphics in an effectively simple story of programmers battling inside an electronic world. The long-awaited sequel, Tron Legacy, is expected in 2010.

3) The Matrix (1999)
The Wachowski Brothers’ movie had it all: groundbreaking ‘flo-mo’ battles, ice cool characters, nods to spaghetti westerns and a large dose of cod philosophy, in an innovative, much-loved actioner. Even the lame sequels can’t detract from the film’s ingenuity.

4) Predator (1987)
A sci-fi spin on the slasher template, this sees an alien hunter stalk a bunch of commandos in the Central American jungle. But the extra-terrestrial menace doesn’t bank on dealing with the Austrian Oak… One of Arnie’s best 80s actioners, this is exciting stuff, tightly directed by John McTiernan. Plus you get some fine Arnie quips (“Knock knock!”) and the chance to have fun trying to spot Carl Weathers’ real arm tied behind his back as it’s blasted off.

5) Return of the Jedi (1983)
OK, so the Ewoks and abrupt death of Boba Fett continue to divide opinion, but ROTJ contains more memorable sequences than most movies could dream of: Luke’s battle against the Rancor monster; the Sarlacc’s pit; the speeder bike chase and a fitting conclusion.

6) Blade Runner (1982)
Like many of the movies on this list, Blade Runner was not a critical or commercial success on its initial release. Some critics at the time simply dismissed it as style over substance. Yet, along with its unforgettable depiction of a neon-lit LA that is essentially a mash-up of Western and Eastern cultures, Ridley Scott’s film is backed up by a real sense of sadness, fear and longing, and an often overlooked wry humour. As Deckard, Harrison Ford proved he could pull off a much darker hero than Han Solo, and Rutger Hauer gave the performance of his career as the psychotic, feral and ultimately tragic Roy Batty. A masterpiece.

7) Total Recall (1990)
Based (very) loosely on Philip K Dick’s short story We Can Remember It For You Wholesale, Total Recall has both brains and brawn. When Arnie discovers that his memories are fake, he heads to Mars to find the truth. Cue foul-mouthed robot taxi drivers, ultra-violence and a three-breasted woman.

8) Stargate (1994)
The movie that sparked off 10 years of SG-1, 5 seasons of Atlantis and the upcoming Stargate: Universe, Roland Emmerich’s movie scores due to a simple but clever concept and inventive effects. Like Emmerich’s later Independence Day, it’s corny at times, but it adds to the ‘B-movie with a budget’ charm.

9) Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) (1981)
If the original was raw, energetic and brutal, the sequel took things to a whole new level as Max helps a community defend itself from crazed punks. Highlight: the boomerang sequence.

10) Escape from New York (1981)
Snake Plissken is one of cinema’s great action-hero, with Kurt Russell on top tough guy form. The plot, meanwhile, has influenced everything from District 13 to Doomsday, and it boasts John Carpenter’s best synth soundtracks.

Megan Fox looking hotter than ever. And some dude grabbing a piece of her.

I used to oogle Megan Fox when she was on Hope and Faith, even though she was only a teenager. Yeah, I'm either that pervy dude who scopes on-the-border-of-legality chicks or a Hollywood talent scout who missed his calling. Eh, same thing.

Here's a bunch of photos of Megan Fox from a recent magazine. The photo above is of Megan at the VMA awards. It looks like the dude behind her is pinching her azz and it made me chuckle. That's one lucky hand! Although he might be enjoying too much if he's closing his eyes...hope Megan's outfit has stainguard!

10 most historically inaccurate movies

Mel Gibson takes a lot of liberties with history it seems, considering three of his movies made the list of the 10 most historically inaccurate movies. It's the Australians' master plan to confuse history so we forget they used to be a penal colony. Now they're just mostly a penile colony. Doh!

Basically, here's the list, but THIS link provides the details:
1 U-571
2 Braveheart
3 10,000 BC
4 The Patriot
5 Pearl Harbour
6 Apocalypto
7 Amadeus
8 Gladiator
9 Young Victoria
10 Marie Antoinette

Save Ferris. Remember Hughs. Savor tunes.

I'm a huge John Hughs fan, so the loss of him recently was tough to reconcile. So many memories growing up with his movies. Some of my favorite movies of all time include Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller. As much as the movies mean to me, though, the music from those movies is even more identifiable, for some reason. Simple Minds, Oingo Boingo, Thompson Twins, Altered Images. Those songs were anthems for these movies. Like a stunner to my ears, instantly halting me in my tracks, poised to identify the movie that first exposed me to the song that beckons my memories.

Radical.

With that said, some savvy people managed to piece together songs from Ferris Bueller. Because, little did I know, Ferris Bueller NEVER HAD A SOUNDTRACK RELEASED. Not that I should be surprised; idiots like me anyone who bought the Sixteen Candles soundtrack discovered an entire instrumental album.

Harsh.

So, enjoy the unofficial Ferris Bueller soundtrack, with movie quotables included.

Gnarly.

There's also a blog DJ who mixes rare 80's B-sides and lost tracks. Kinda cool for lamos like me.

Want Vincent Gallo to be your baby daddy?

In weird news, the actor Vincent Gallo will sell his sperm on his website for cash. As if that wasn't crazy enough, he's a racist mofo to boot. I think it's funny that he assumes a chick walking down to her local bar for sperm isn't the better option. Vincent looks like a scrawny junkie and his acting is even thinner. Although, for a crazy dude, getting an actress to perform fellatio on film (in "The Brown Bunny") was genius.

Official TR2N trailer from Comic Con 2009!

Welcome to Tron: Legacy. Guess Flynn is bad now?

Burton's Alice in Wonderland Trailer

Fan Fiction movie trailers

I've posted fan films before when they're of really good quality. So, that another site came up with a Top 9 List of the Best Fan Fiction Film trailers is pretty cool. I gotta disagree that the Gremlins taking over other movies and Lego Batman are the very best (personally I think the Thundercats trailer I posted previously was better!), but it's still cool to see creative people taking a shot and showing their talent.

Pop culture is all around you.

Thought this was cool. A user submission map tracking various spots made "famous" in pop culture. It's "Where It's At." I'm surprised there's not more entries.

Maybe the CGI process adds offensive accents?

Michael Bay and George Lucas must be best buds who sit around talking about ways to work stereotypical accents into CGI characters. Honestly, most kids nowadays barely speak proper English. I doubt aliens talking with Chinese or black accents is shocking/offending kids. Now a Transformer speaking eloquently: that'd be weird.

I'm more offended Bay and Lucas keep making the same movies over and over. We get it. Star wars has a never ending Universe of characters and blowing stuff up is fun.

Honestly, Hollywood is run by a bunch of old, rich, white men. Do you think they care (or even notice) if a major motion picture has characters with offensive stereotypes?

Best movie era ever: the 80's

I'm on a nostalgic movie trip on YouTube...and aparently I'm not alone. Revenge of the Nerds in on E! It's hip to be square, I guess.

Bruno movie: 7/10/09!!!!

I'm looking forward to the Bruno movie. I'm still one of the few people who finds it funny when people still do Borat impressions. Look for major contraversy when this movie comes out. If Borat was shocking for people, Bruno will kill'em.

Here's a link to an HD Rated R trailer for Bruno. I can't post-it because it does have brief nudity and cursing, so you've been warned. Hilarious though and truly shows how many people are going to be offended by the movie and people are going to be suing mad when they see themselves acting like fools. Why did they sign releases then?!!!!

Camp 80's trailers!

ALL GENIUS! Memories...

...no wonder I'm so warped and twisted.

Stretch Armstrong movie

Hollywood has officially run out of ideas. A Stretch Armstrong movie? It was a cool toy, but a movie? This movie will only work if they keep his cool Richard Simmons outfit and blond mullet. Business in the front, party in the back...Armstrong-style!

And I don't remember Wretch, Fetch and X-ray Armstrongs. That's one messed up family. Did they grow up next to Chernobyl? This movie willl be more campy than the Toxic Avenger. In case you forgot about that genius...

New GI JOE movie clips!
