I just want to wish everyone, especially our men and women in the armed forces – those who have passed and those who still serve, a very joyous Memorial Day. I thought about posting a picture of a big ass aircraft carrier, because that always makes me feel patriotic, but instead I thought I’d leave you with this lovely image. Happy Monday.

Here’s another MTV Movie Awards spoof featuring Tom Cruise as Lex Grossman. You heard it from the lips of Lex Grossman, teens love the ass. MTV Shows
Earlier in the week we had Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) dissing Justin Bieber’s noisy chip eating in a 2010 MTV Movie Awards promo, and today we have Tom Cruise revisiting his Tropic Thunder character, Lex Grossman, and giving Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga) the third-degree over his scruffy appearance. If this is a prelude to the kind of spoofs we’ll see during the actual June 6 awards telecast, I might be changing my tune and not just watch for …
I hate 3D. Dan hates 3D. Roger Ebert hates 3D. Francis Ford Coppola hates 3D, and now, in a show of solidarity, Francis Ford Coppola’s beard hates 3D. You hear that Hollywood?! Keep your damn 3D glasses! This ain’t the 1950s! Well, unless you count the culture of fear spread like putrid mayonnaise across the minds of Americans by the TV and radio political pundits and the government…but that’s another story! Long live Planet Beardatron!
Despite his intense, quirkily inspired acting chops, Mickey Rourke has a reputation for being a bit of a douche. Not that AATM has gone all TMZ– we’re not particularly concerned about the way he fuels his method acting/behaves amidst the general human population, but his disposition is the key to understanding the self-effacing humor that’s running amok in this Dutch Beer ad. Say what you want about Rourke, but at least he’s got a sense of humor.
JibJab is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by letting you cut and paste your mug into one of their silly “starring you” shenanigans. I have a fondness for JibJab dating back to the 2004 presidential election and their popular “This Land” musical take on John Kerry and George W. Bush’s fight for the White House. At any rate, I slapped myself in as Lando, Dan as Han and brought some supporting cast in to …
With all the Halo movie on again/off again, maybe it’s on, “Maybe we’ll make it but only we know when” teasery that’s been going on for the last half decade or so, you’d think everyone would have just given up on the franchise that may still be minting million dollar bills, but whose momentum and fascination is fast drying up. Reality is that Halo‘s fanbase– bump from the upcoming Reach aside– has shifted into longtail. Sure, there’s the hardcore Halo …
I have made no secret of my love for Roger Ebert and his writing. Notice I didn’t say movie reviews or critiques. Mr. Ebert and I don’t always see eye-to-eye, but his reviews are always a pleasure to read. He is articulate, funny and knows his stuff. Even with all his health problems, he is sharp and upbeat and flowing with life. I was reading his review of Hot Tub Time Machine when I came across this gem of a …
