It Must Be Some Kind of Hot Tub Time Machine

Any movie starring John Cusack is a movie that I will watch.

Hot Tub Time Machine is due out in theaters on February 26, 2010. Yes, that's actually the title.

Those People Are Funny

Adam Sandler meets Judd Apatow when Funny People hits theaters today. And to be quite honest, when I first read that Sandler and Apatow were collaborating on a project I distinctly remember letting out a disapproving groan. 

You see, I've never been much of an Adam Sandler fan. Yeah, he's had a couple of decent flicks, but most of his stuff is way overrated and not very funny at all. The dude butchered the awesomeness that was The Longest Yard and turned it into a barely-watchable joke, for Christ sakes! Not cool.

However, I've really enjoyed most of the stuff that Judd Apatow has had a hand in over the last few years. In my opinion, the Apatow brand of humor has become the measuring stick for which comedic movies should be measured these days.

Even so, I was still certain that the combination of Sandler and Apatow would be a disaster. That was until I saw the first Funny People trailer. I realized right then and there that I couldn't be more wrong about this flick. And with each new trailer, the movie looked better and better.

Now that the film is finally hitting theaters, I can't wait to see it this weekend. Sure, it could end up being a huge bowl of suck, but I'm highly doubting it. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that not only will this be Sandler's best film to date, but it'll also be the best Apatow-directed film to date.

By the way, Funny People also stars Apatow regulars Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann, along with other members of the Apatow crowd in supporting roles. Plus, Eric Bana gets to put his comedic talents on display. 

This is going to be a great flick. Be sure to check it out this weekend.

"Just tap it in. Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy. Tap-tap-taparoo." ~ Happy Gilmore, Happy Gilmore

Dorm golf is sort of like mini-golf on steroids. Of course, what else would you expect from the same dudes who invented beer pong? "The same dudes" meaning bored college-goers with nothing better to do during the time between American Lit class and the weekly Thursday night drunken orgies.

Damn, college was fun.

I originally found this vid over at Steven Humour and, after some quick research, discovered that it was featured on ESPN's SportsNation a few days ago. Yes, folks. Dorm golf is now an official sport.

Let the X Games Begin

I can't put both feet on a skateboard without busting my ass. Motorcycles of any kind scare the bejeezus out of me. And I've already shared with you my sub-par bicycle-riding skills. But, despite all of that, I happen to be a big-time X Games junkie.

That being said, I'm obviously pumped as hell that X Games 15 begins tonight on ESPN. From the moment they ended last year, I've been looking forward to the excitement that this year's X Games will bring. And, trust me, the X Games are never short on excitement.

Need proof? Look no further than Tony Hawk landing the first ever 900 in a skateboard competition. Or Travis Pastrana becoming the first dude (or dudette) to complete a double-backflip on a dirt bike. Or Danny Way damn near breaking himself in half only to come back and complete his run to win the Silver Medal in Big Air. Or the late Colin McRae rolling his car merely feet away from winning the Gold Medal in the inaugural Rally X competition.

And that's just a few examples of the kickass, awesome moments that the X Games produce every year. If you're still not convinced, however, I suggest tuning in tonight, and all weekend, to see some amazing, gravity-defying shit.

Oh, and I don't just watch one or two events either. I watch EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. What can I say? I'm addicted. So, you better bet that my DVR is gonna be working overtime this weekend.

Damn. I can't fucking wait.

Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' Trailer

I'm starting to think that Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are attached at the hip. After all, Depp has starred in around 45,310 Burton-directed films. That's a rough estimate, but you get the idea.

And Alice in Wonderland is the latest in the long line of Burton/Depp collaborations. It should be interesting to see Burton's take on this classic tale. Judging from what's been released thus far, I like what I see.

Alice in Wonderland hits theaters on March 05, 2010.

Bam. Pow. To the Mother-Effing Moon.

Next week (Monday to be exact) marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

As a boy, I used to look up into the night sky and imagine what it might be like to be an astronaut. Did my vision look more Millennium Falcon than Apollo 11? Hell yes. But, the fact that men had actually set foot on the moon amazed me -- even though Great Uncle Arthur would always tell me the entire thing was a "horseshit hoax filmed in the desert" and make me go and get him another beer.

So, when I read about the upcoming anniversary in the news, I paused and let my mind drift back to a simpler time. I glared upward into the evening sky. What would it be like if I went to the moon today? Better yet, what would it be like if the Funktards went to the moon? This video, which contains its fair share of NSFW language, pretty much sums it up:



On my way to visit Great Uncle Arthur's leisure-suit-wearing ass this weekend, I'm gonna pick up a 12-pack and watch this video with him. Then, I'm going to try to convince him that the video is actually of Dalton and me -- that we went to the fucking moon. Then I'll hand him another beer, and the good times they will roll.

Star Wars: Fans' Cut

Star Wars: Uncut is a dream come true for all the Star Wars geeks out there who have always imagined recreating "a galaxy far, far away"  in their own vision. Confused yet? I'll try to explain.

Star Wars: Uncut is a collaborative project that recently surfaced on the Web giving fans a chance to completely remake the original Star Wars flick once scene at a time. 

Star Wars: A New Hope was cut into 473 15-second clips which were claimed by various fans on a first-come-first-serve basis. (Don't worry. As we speak, the minds behind Uncut are brewing up a way for everyone else to participate.) Those fans now have the tasks of re-filming their selected scenes using any method they choose, whether it be live-action, animation, stop-motion, or whatever.

Once all the scenes have been filmed and uploaded, they'll be stitched back together creating a completely remade version of Star Wars: A New Hope. It'll be interesting to see how well the different filming styles and techniques flow with each other.

By the way, this might be the greatest idea in the history of great ideas. Okay. Maybe not, but I'm still anxious to see the end product. 

Cruisin' Hyrule

Link should've thought of this back when he was hiking his way around Hyrule finding triforces and saving Zelda's ass. I mean, it's transportation and a map all in one. This shit could've been even more useful than that damn flute.

And chicks dig cars. That means Zelda would've been giving that ass up after Link saved her. I bet the raft or boomerang didn't get that kind of reaction.

Three words to describe what could've been Link's best inventory item ever: Simply. Fucking. Awesome.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

The new installment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, hits theaters in a few hours. I'm not a fan of the Harry Potter flicks myself, but I thought it was at least worth mentioning since I'm sure many of you probably are fans.

Also, for those of you who are, you might want to head over to Culture Kills and check out a post by MC discussing the Harry Potter films inevitably passing the James Bond franchise as the highest grossing film series of all time. Where the heck is Star Wars on that list? (Yeah, I had to work a Star Wars mention in.)

Oh, and I almost forgot. I've included a trailer for the new flick as well. Look at me catering to the Harry Potter fanbase.

Chronicles of a Tenant

Gabe rents a room from Gary. Gary is crazy. Hilarity ensues. 

That's the quick synopsis of Gary: Landlord of the Flies, a blog I ran across a few days ago. It's essentially a journal by this dude named Gabe where he has been chronicling his ongoing dealings with his landlord, a 63 year-old grammatical genius named Gary. 

Gary seems to be quite the character. He tends to curse a lot. He also likes to hurl politically-incorrect insults on occasion. Oh, and he seems to frequently indulge in large amounts of adult beverages.

This is a hilarious read, and one that I'm sure will continue to entertain as Gabe keeps us posted on any new happenings. Check it out, but be sure to go all the way to the last page and read from there. You don't want to miss any of the funny. Believe me.

Megan Fox in 'Jennifer's Body'

Megan Fox gets a lot of play around here. Not quite on the level of Star Wars, but damn close. In fact, when Shock Till You Drop released the exclusive red band trailer for her upcoming movie, Jennifer's Body, last week, I decided against posting it in an effort to convince you all (and possibly myself) that I'm not overly obsessed with her. However, after running across the trailer (and a since-released green band trailer) a few times since then, I can't help but to think that it just kind of belongs here ... and I might be a little obsessed.

Fox plays the title character in Jennifer's Body, a horror-dark comedy flick written by stripper-turned-screenwriter Diablo Cody. I really enjoyed Cody's previous effort, Juno, which won her an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. But, this film looks to be nothing even remotely similar to Juno.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a very bold move for a relatively inexperienced screenwriter to make such a drastic change in genres from their first film to their second. Hopefully it works out.

Jennifer's Body hits theaters on September 18th.

Get Outta My ... Wait. What the Hell?

Yeah, the kid in red seems to have some mad ups, which he demonstrates by soaring through the air to block the blue-shirted kid's shot into the second row. Okay. Actually, he's probably about to slap the other kid across the arms or face and have a foul called on him, but that doesn't take away the fact that he can jump high.

Anyway, I don't really give a damn about any of that. It's the other shit that's going on in this pic that has me completely dumbfounded. In fact, I think "what the fuck?" pretty much covers it.

Seriously, I'm baffled as hell by this picture.

District 9: Alive in Joburg

I'm sure you've all ran across the trailer for District 9 by now. It first grabbed my attention when it was attached to the front of X-Men Origins: Wolverine at the theater. In fact, it grabbed my attention more than anything else I saw in the theater that night, but that's a whole other story.

Watch the DISTRICT 9 trailer - In Theaters 8/14/09!
Uploaded by SonyPictures. - Watch feature films and entire TV shows at DailyMotion.

From the moment I saw it, I found this trailer to be quite interesting. (Note: This same trailer can be found with English subtitles when the alien speaks and WITHOUT the alien's face blurred.) So, in the ensuing days, I spent some time reading up on this film. 

The director, Neill Blomkamp, had been heavily rumored to be at the helm of a movie based on the popular Halo series of video games. These rumors lead to even more rumors that this flick called District 9 was just a coverup for the Halo movie. With the release of the above trailer, those rumors were obviously proven to be false.

Through more research, I found that District 9 was apparently adapted from a 6-minute short film called Alive in Joburg, also directed by Blomkamp. Luckily, it was no problem at all to find Alive in Joburg on YouTube.

Based on the trailer and Alive in Joburg, I'm really looking forward to checking out District 9 when it hits theaters on August 14. Oh, and I almost forgot, the viral marketing for this film is in full effect as well. Evidence:
