Here’s a glimpse of Keanu Reeves’ directorial debut, and, is it me, or does Reeves look a little sweaty in the final shot? It’s just one of the off-putting moments in this Man of Tai Chi trailer . The bare bones of a plot are revealed via Reeves odd voiceover: to take a “pure-hearted, good natured man of Tai Chi and turn him into a killer,” he says, before adopting the cadence (but thankfully not those long-drawn-out ‘r’ sounds) of Ben Kingsley’s The Mandarin and concluding. “Let. The Games…Begin.” Dra. Ma. Tic! Meanwhile, the footage, which comes via Twitch , is almost entirely of martial-arts fighting — not surprising since Reeves told MTV that there are 18 fights in the movie totaling 40 minutes. He also said that he plays the , including a few scenes of Reeves, who has said he plays the movie’s villain, channeling Neo from The Matrix . Alas, the rest of the movie does not appear to aspire to that sci-fi classic’s standards. As for that sweaty look, maybe Reeves was feeling the pressure of directing his first picture.

You may have read Rebecca Martinson’s batshit letter to her Delta Gamma sorority sisters at the University of Maryland, but you haven’t experienced the full mind-blowing vitriol of this remarkable document until General Zod performs it for you. This exclusive Funny or Die clip of Man of Steel star Michael Shannon , who plays Superman’s Kryptonian rival , has just surpassed “Bat Fight” to become my favorite FOD video thanks to Shannon’s impeccable comic timing and delivery. If you aren’t familiar with Martinson’s work, check out the back story on Gawker or The Frisky . You can also read the letter in its entirety below before checking out the video, but do check out the video, if only to hear the actor say, “News flash, you stupid fucking cocks!” Shannon gives us a performance that’s a mix of his acidic portrayal of sardonic music-business legend Kim Fowley in The Runaways and the “I WILL FIND HIM!” rage of Zod in the Man of Steel trailer. Are you not entertained? Michael Shannon’s Greek Freak-Out Here’s the Martinson email in its entirety: If you just opened this like I told you to, tie yourself down to whatever chair you’re sitting in, because this email is going to be a rough fucking ride. For those of you that have your heads stuck under rocks, which apparently is the majority of this chapter, we have been FUCKING UP in terms of night time events and general social interactions with Sigma Nu. I’ve been getting texts on texts about people LITERALLY being so fucking AWKWARD and so fucking BORING. If you’re reading this right now and saying to yourself “But oh em gee Julia, I’ve been having so much fun with my sisters this week!”, then punch yourself in the face right now so that I don’t have to fucking find you on campus to do it myself. I do not give a flying fuck, and Sigma Nu does not give a flying fuck, about how much you fucking love to talk to your sisters. You have 361 days out of the fucking year to talk to sisters, and this week is NOT, I fucking repeat NOT ONE OF THEM. This week is about fostering relationships in the greek community, and that’s not fucking possible if you’re going to stand around and talk to each other and not our matchup. Newsflash you stupid cocks: FRATS DON’T LIKE BORING SORORITIES. Oh wait, DOUBLE FUCKING NEWSFLASH: SIGMA NU IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH US IF WE FUCKING SUCK, which by the way in case you’re an idiot and need it spelled out for you, WE FUCKING SUCK SO FAR. This also applies to you little shits that have talked openly about post gaming at a different frat IN FRONT OF SIGMA NU BROTHERS. Are you people fucking retarded? That’s not a rhetorical question, I LITERALLY want you to email me back telling me if you’re mentally slow so I can make sure you don’t go to anymore night time events. If Sigma Nu openly said “Yeah we’re gonna invite Zeta over”, would you be happy? WOULD YOU? No you wouldn’t, so WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO IT TO THEM?? IN FRONT OF THEM?!! First of all, you SHOULDN’T be post gaming at other frats, I don’t give a FUCK if your boyfriend is in it, if your brother is in it, or if your entire family is in that frat. YOU DON’T GO. YOU. DON’T. GO. And you ESPECIALLY do fucking NOT convince other girls to leave with you. “But Julia!”, you say in a whiny little bitch voice to your computer screen as you read this email, “I’ve been cheering on our teams at all the sports, doesn’t that count for something?” NO YOU STUPID FUCKING ASS HATS, IT FUCKING DOESN’T. DO YOU WANNA KNOW FUCKING WHY?!! IT DOESN’T COUNT BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN FUCKING UP AT SOBER FUCKING EVENTS TOO. I’ve not only gotten texts about people being fucking WEIRD at sports (for example, being stupid shits and saying stuff like “durr what’s kickball?” is not fucking funny), but I’ve gotten texts about people actually cheering for the opposing team. The opposing. Fucking. Team. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!! I don’t give a SHIT about sportsmanship, YOU CHEER FOR OUR GODDAMN TEAM AND NOT THE OTHER ONE, HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN TO A SPORTS GAME? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND? Or are you just so fucking dense about what it means to make people like you that you think being a good little supporter of the greek community is going to make our matchup happy? Well it’s time someone told you, NO ONE FUCKING LIKES THAT, ESPECIALLY OUR FUCKING MATCHUP. I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don’t give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU. “Ohhh Julia, I’m now crying because your email has made me oh so so sad”. Well good. If this email applies to you in any way, meaning if you are a little asswipe that stands in the corners at night or if you’re a weird shit that does weird shit during the day, this following message is for you: DO NOT GO TO TONIGHT’S EVENT. I’m not fucking kidding. Don’t go. Seriously, if you have done ANYTHING I’ve mentioned in this email and have some rare disease where you’re unable to NOT do these things, then you are HORRIBLE, I repeat, HORRIBLE PR FOR THIS CHAPTER. I would rather have 40 girls that are fun, talk to boys, and not fucking awkward than 80 that are fucking faggots. If you are one of the people that have told me “Oh nooo boo hoo I can’t talk to boys I’m too sober”, then I pity you because I don’t know how you got this far in life, and with that in mind don’t fucking show up unless you’re going to stop being a goddamn cock block for our chapter. Seriously. I swear to fucking God if I see anyone being a goddamn boner at tonight’s event, I will tell you to leave even if you’re sober. I’m not even kidding. Try me. And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don’t give a fuck. Go fuck yourself. [ Funny or Die , Gawker , The Frisky ] Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

They may be friends away from the red carpet, but it’s every celebrity for him or herself when it comes to a Fashion Face-Off. That’s right, readers, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift both made appearances (and took home surf boards) at last night’s Teen Choice Awards , but only one can come out on top of this matchup. Will it be Gomez and her pink dress? Or Swift and her white outfit? Compare. Contrast. And cast your vote between the beautiful young stars now:

The most interesting thing about Thursday night’s battle between the Los Angeles Clippers and Sacramento Kings proved to be the matchup between Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins. Of course, we use the term “matchup” very loosely, as the pair did little actual matching up over the course of the game. Instead, Griffin mostly just handled business from start to finish (especially at the end), and Cousins… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Opposing Views Discovery Date : 06/04/2012 08:46 Number of articles : 2
Anything can happen as front-runners and dark horses duke it out for the top spot in our tourney. By Eric Ditzian Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in “Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ Photo: Summit Entertainment What a ride it’s been so far in the MTV Movie Brawl 2012 ! After more than a quarter million votes, fans have whittled down the competition from an opening round of 32 films to a 16-flick bracket topped by #1 seeds ” Hunger Games ” and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.” Now that the pretenders and also-rans have been axed — See ya later “Expendables 2”! Thanks for playing “Rock of Ages”! — it’s time for the big guns to face off. Let’s get right to it. Upper West Region Otherwise known as the Robert Pattinson Honorary Region, this section of the bracket features three RPattz films. While we love seeing the 3-D re-release of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” sneaking into the Sweet 16 after a wild-card win in round one, George Lucas’ baby doesn’t have much of a shot to knock “Breaking Dawn” from its perch atop the bracket. Twi-fans came out in force over the weekend to conquer “Hunger Games” and assure itself the highest vote total of round one. So Pattinson and his vampire pals have got to be feeling good as voting moves forward. Things are much more up in the air in the region’s other matchup: “Cosmopolis” vs. “Bel Ami.” Will Pattinson fans favor his cerebral, David Cronenberg-directed drama or his Uma Thurman-co-starring love story, which holds out the prospect of, as RPattz himself told us , “a lot of my crack in it.” This matchup is just too close to call at this point. Lower West Region This region is all about the superheroes, though neither “Dark Knight Rises,” “The Amazing Spider-Man” nor “Marvel’s The Avengers” performed heroically in the first round. The MTV Movies team had been eyeing “TDKR” as one of the films to beat headed into the tournament, but fans didn’t turn out to support Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film in the numbers we expected. “Avengers” managed to nab a six seed, but Captain America and his crew had better bring their A-games if they want to give “TDKR” a run for its money. By contrast, “Spider-Man,” which barely survived round one, is going to have to deliver nothing short of an inspired performance if it expects to knock off “Dark Shadows.” Tim Burton’s adaptation of the supernatural soap opera announced itself as a potential dark horse after an impressive and unexpected first-round showing. An Elite Eight showdown between “Dark Shadows” and “Dark Knight” would make for a kick-ass brawl. Upper East Region “Hunger Games” enters the Sweet 16 with a bit of wind taken out of its sails, following its failure to garner the most round-one votes after leading for most of the week. Its new matchup is a pivotal one, and a blowout of “Prometheus” would go a long way toward assuring fans that “Hunger Games” has its eye locked squarely on a final matchup with “Breaking Dawn.” But before we get there, “Hunger Games” will have to contend with two action flicks, in “John Carter” and “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” that have been surging in recent days. “G.I. Joe” didn’t even look like it was going to make the Sweet 16 until a last-minute rise. That sequel could potentially play the spoiler in this four-seed vs. five-seed matchup. Lower East Region Anything can happen in this region. Based on its pedigree, you might expect “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” to run roughshod over anything at this point in the tournament. But Peter Jackson’s flick faces off against Emma Watson’s “Perks of Being a Wallflower,” a wild-card entrant that can easily spoil the hopes of everyone in Middle-earth. This matchup to just too close to call. And don’t count out another upset in the game between “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “The Woman in Black.” Though “SWATH” has a lot of heat behind it, based on a top-notch trailer and the leadership of Kristen Stewart, you underestimate Daniel Radcliffe’s fans at your own peril. But which star has the most feverish following? The answer to that question will likely reveal which film moves on to the Elite Eight in the MTV Movie Brawl 2012. What are you waiting for?

The semifinals kicked off with Robert Pattinson and Miley Cyrus battling to make the finals against … the winner of this matchup, between Katy Perry and Demi Lovato!

We’d pay a lot of money to see this one on pay-per-view Shaq may have retired from the NBA in June, but he is still the league’s most entertaining figure. And with the league currently mired in a lockout that threatens the coming season, NBA fans might have to turn to other sports to satisfy their thrist for serious competition. How about some mixed martial arts? So when the four-time NBA champ listed the five NBA players he’d most like to fight for an episode of HDNet’s Inisde MMA show, scheduled to air Friday night at 9 p.m., we couldn’t help but get excited. “From the NBA, the whole NBA, who would you like to fight,” the show’s host asked to one of the biggest personalities in league history. Shaq, who decided to go old school instead of looking to the current crop of NBAers, listed former Knick big man Charley Oakley as his top choice. Oakley, who spent nine seasons on Broadway and retired from the NBA following the 2003-04 season, would be facing a 100-pound weight difference in this matchup. We’re sure Shaq isn’t the only one what would like to kick Oakley’s a$$…. Source
