Kanye West and The Jetsons Movie — Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together?

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Among the many stream of consciousness topics Kanye West brain-dumped in his epic Twitter session Wednesday night — his professional frustrations, his fashion aspirations, his new design company aimed at picking up where Steve Jobs left off — was a brief mention of one curious film project in particular. “I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson [sic] movie and…” Wait, WHAT? The Jetsons , as in the long-gestating live-action Jetsons movie? And Kanye would have a hand in making this happen? Mr. West, you’ve got my attention now. If Kanye’s Jetsons project is the one I think he’s talking about, it’s the live-action reboot that’s been kicking around for years, once scripted by Adam Goldberg ( Fanboys ) with Robert Rodriguez attached to direct. Rodriguez went on to make Spy Kids 4 instead and the project hasn’t surfaced much since, so West’s Tweet is the first indication in a while that the thing’s actually back on track. Unfortunately, details on what exactly this “creative director” position would be were lost in West’s Tweet-crazy haze of thoughts on the creative process and the limits celebrity have imposed on his artistic freedom, or whatever. “Being a celebrity has afforded me many opportunities but has also boxed me in creatively,” he wrote, also noting that he hasn’t bought new jewelry in two whole years. See? You don’t know Yeezy! But anyway, those Jetsons plans: I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour! This just happened a few hours ago. I was very insulted of course becuase for anyone that’s seen the Watch the Throne Tour… Or Coachella or Glow in the Dark or Runaway.. you know I have real ideas… Not that West seems to be interested in anything but forward momentum, but a Jetsons movie along the aesthetic lines of his space-toony Takashi Murakami-designed Graduation album would be kind of awesome. In the least, it would make the very idea of a Jetsons reboot vaguely palatable. But while that idea would be cool and all, how can West possibly fit that in with the huge world-changing plans he Tweeted out last night, which include:

‘Breaking Dawn’ Leading In Round One Of MTV Movie Brawl!

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Hunger Games’ races to front, while dark horses ‘John Carter’ and ‘Dark Shadows’ also show promise in 2012 tourney. By Eric Ditzian Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” Photo: Summit Entertainment It’s the brawl to win it all! On Tuesday, we launched MTV Movie Brawl 2012 , a winner-take-all tournament to pick this year’s must-see movie. Starting with 32 films in an epic “play-in” round to pick 16 flicks that will make it into our March Madness-style bracket, the Brawl has kicked off with fans giving it 110 percent, determined to leave it all out on the field, and ready to step up and make plays. This is what the playoffs are all about. As MTV News’ team of analysts pointed out at the start of the tourney, there are three front-runners at this early point in the competition: “Breaking Dawn – Part 2,” “The Hunger Games” and “The Dark Knight Rises.” So far, two of those flicks are living up to expectations, while one is going to have a lot of questions to answer if it can’t turn things around. “Breaking Dawn” has staked out an early lead and has got to be an odds-on favorite to secure a #1 seed when the 16-team bracket is chosen at the end of this first round. Hunger Games has got its game face on and is trailing close behind; a number-one seed for this rookie sensation seems like a lock. “Dark Knight Rises,” however, is not showing the determination and drive we’d expect from a film with such ravenous fans. Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie has settled into the #6 slot thus far and will have to pick up the slack if it expects to head into the bracket with any sort of momentum. Voting in round one is open in MTV Movie Brawl 2012! Films that have been flexing some unexpected Movie Brawl muscle include “John Carter” and “Dark Shadows.” The former hits theaters in March, the latter in May; what they both have in common are fans coming out of the woodwork to support their underdogs and turn them into dark horses. Meanwhile, no one who’s been paying attention to the cinematic landscape should be surprised that “Snow White and the Huntsman” has been playing like a savvy vet, given that the film is led by Kristen Stewart. Veteran leadership, especially from “Twilight” stars, is going to prove a key factor as the Brawl moves forward. On the other end of the spectrum, there are a few films that are going to have to look themselves in the mirror and ask if they truly want to be in this competition. “Skyfall” and “The Amazing Spider-Man,” for instance, are both floundering in the back of the pack. Unless fans step up and vote for Bond and Spidey, these films are looking at an early trip home and months of second-guessing. And while we don’t expect high-brow fare like Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” to be able to tussle with the big franchises, we were hoping for more from QT fans than a first-round exit. So that’s where we stand on the second day of the competition. Anything can happen at this point. Seriously. That’s why we’ve just introduced a wild-card round in which fans will be able to add a few movies that didn’t make the original 32 — Robert Pattinson’s “Cosmopolis”? Emma Watson’s “Perks of Being a Wallflower”? — and, if they deliver enough votes, slip them into the 16-movie bracket. Voting in the first round closes Sunday, January 8, and the bracket kicks off on Monday, January 9. What are you waiting for? Your must-see movie needs your support. It’s time to show character, poise and heart. Vote for your picks now at MTV Movie Brawl 2012 !

Oscar Index: Draggin’ Tattoo? Don’t Bet on It

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The first Oscar Index entry of 2012 finds Movieline’s Institute for the Advanced Study of Kudos Forensics a little hungover from the holidays and lot bored from the protracted inertia of awards season. Not even this week’s Producers Guild Award nominations could do much to shake up a contest that appears to be both wide open and solidifying into place at the same time. Let’s investigate… The Leading 10: 1. The Artist 2. War Horse 3. The Help 4. The Descendants 5. Hugo 6. Midnight in Paris 7. Moneyball 8. The Tree of Life 9. Bridesmaids 10. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Outsiders: The Ides of March ; Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close ; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ; Drive The awards cognoscenti weighed in where they could after Tuesday’s PGA nomination announcement, but on the whole it came down to a few routine observations:

Jack Osbourne’s Knocked Up Bitch of the Day

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

I wonder if she’s in it for his boyish good looks…or great personality….or maybe it’s got something to do with the fact that he’s been on TV and comes from a celebrity family that will give her good options when it comes to what nanny to hire, what day spa to spend her days at, and what exotic latino pool boy she wants to fuck cuz I predict this is a K-Fed situation, just on a way lower step on the celebrity ladder…. More importantly I wonder why I’m doing a post on Jack Osbourne’s knocked up bitch….I assume it is my biological clock ticking….or maybe the fact that I love big milk filled tits…

Iowa Caucus Comedown, Jenks Counts The Votes

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘If I convinced a few of those … girls I met the other night at Mullets to vote, maybe I could have swayed’ the outcome, Andrew Jenks says from Iowa. By Andrew Jenks Andrew Jenks Photo: MTV News DES MOINES, Iowa — Up all night. It’s 2 a.m. and I just got back from the Rick Santorum speech , followed by a Mitt Romney speech in which neither declared victory in the Iowa caucus. Who ever, ever, ever thought this would happen? Romney, who a month ago never thought he could actually win in Iowa, one-on-one with Santorum, who two weeks ago nobody thought could win anything. And the results we just got … Romney by 8 votes . Eight votes! The closest Iowa caucus in history, it was declared on Wednesday (January 4). What? If I convinced a few of those loud, beer-drinking girls I met the other night at Mullets to vote, maybe I could have swayed the election. If I’d pushed harder with that undecided couple … things might have gone a different way. But as I leave Iowa , I think about all those young people I’ve spoken with. I think about those eight that said they weren’t going to vote. But it must be a proud day for them. They have a unique system: When it comes down to voting time, you go to a local school, firehouse, sometimes even a house, and talk it through with everyone — then you cast your ballot. But I will also think about their lives in Iowa. Starting today, all of the cameras and worldwide press move on. On Thursday, Iowa will be a completely different state. And that is what makes this place so surreal. Within the last few weeks, I have gotten to know the locals, members of the media — I shook hands with nearly every candidate. But I don’t know the name of a single person that lives on my floor in NYC. When I saw Rick Santorum a few weeks back he said smiling, “Oh, it’s you guys again!” When I was at Drake, I saw a few students I met a month ago, and we talked for quite awhile. Leaving Iowa is strange, because it doesn’t take long to really get to know everyone. MTV is on the scene in Iowa!

Fabolous Champions Meek Mill’s ‘Young Energy’

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Don’t miss Fabolous, Maino and Skillz on ‘RapFix Live’ Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com. By Rob Markman Fabolous Photo: MTV News Fabolous has collaborated with a ton of MCs in his 10-plus years in the rap game. From Jay-Z and Lil Wayne to Rick Ross and Kanye West, Loso has spit with the best of them, but a feature with newcomer Meek Mill has the veteran Brooklyn lyricist especially excited. Fab, who will be a guest on Wednesday’s (January 4) “RapFix Live,” invited Meek Mill to jump on “You Don’t Know ‘Bout It,” a track off of his recently released There Is No Competition III mixtape . “I think Meek is, like, young energy, what hip-hop needs,” Fabolous told MTV News last month. “I always like to see new, young energy come into the game.” Meek hails from Philadelphia and has made his name as an artist on Rick Ross’ Maybach Music Group, but it isn’t just Mill’s skills on the mic that Fab admires. Loso also appreciates the “I’mma Boss” rapper’s ability to overcome the hardships he faced in the street. “It shows a person from the same walk of life you come from reaching something that they wanted to do against the odds of what could’ve happened,” Fabolous said of Meek’s past. “I know a little bit of his story where he went to jail and stuff like that, so it’s good to see him actually doing something that he’s pursuing and being successful at that. I like that as well, just even being able to collaborate with that.” Catch Fabolous, Maino and Skillz on “RapFix Live” Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET on MTV.com, and be sure to join the Twitter conversation using the hashtag #RapFixLive.

‘2012’ Checklist: 18 Things You’ll Need if the Movie Got Doomsday Right

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Depending on your conspiracy theory of choice, the world may end 11 months and change from now, give or take a few days. And just in case all of those qualified real scientists are wrong about the 2012 doomsday being complete hooey, we’ve got filmmaker Roland Emmerich ’s 2009 opus 2012 on hand to guide us for the potential cataclysm ahead. So grab a notepad and jot down the 18 or so essentials you’ll need to start stockpiling if you’re going to be ready to face down ultimate destruction, John Cusack -style. The fictional 2012 opens as the Earth’s core is being heated by a freak solar flare, which accelerates a shifting of the Earth’s crust. The resulting shift triggers earthquakes and tsunamis across the globe, leaving humanity’s only hope in a series of massive arks constructed to hold survivors… just not everyone. But them’s the breaks. Look, none of us know if we’ll make it onto greedy Oliver Platt’s ginormous boat, so it’s best to come prepared. 1. Emergency kit with the essentials – water, non-perishables, batteries, a radio, perhaps a few magazines for light reading 2. Early investments in steel and titanium interests 3. Decent relationships with your baby mama/daddy 4. A Mayan calendar 5. Disaster insurance 6. Beer 7. A limo with tires with good traction for outrunning earthquakes, family in tow 8. Advanced degree(s) in geology, astrophysics, or international relations 9. Mace for keeping the weirdo pirate radio jock you meet in the woods at arm’s length 10. A private airplane to fly your family to China as America crumbles into the sea 11. Flying lessons 12. Small fortune for buying your way onto life-saving arks at one billion euros a ticket, or 13. High level government clearance assuring privilege of being saved (also works in case of Contagion ) 14. Mountaintop real estate in Africa 15. A houseboat 16. Camping gear 17. A submarine or two 18. Swimming lessons, if all else fails Your mileage may vary with the above, but remember what’s really important in times of crisis as we wait to see if Emmerich was the mystical sage I’d like to think of him as: Family. And not wetting the bed. And also looking cool while evading lava and earthquakes and tsunamis. Let’s circle back on 12/21/12 and see where we’re at. Like the Boy Scouts say, be prepared…

Happy New Year — and Good Riddance to the Five Worst Movie Trends of 2011

Posted on January 3, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Not to be terribly negative at the start of the new year – because any year that gifted us the Fassboner had to be a pretty good year, amirite? – but there were a handful of recurring trends in the movies of 2011 that could stand a rest as we charge ahead through 2012. First let’s list the good ones, the motifs in otherwise disparate films, from a wide range of filmmakers indie and studio-backed, new and established, that were actually kind of awesome to marinate in this past year. (Goslingmania comin’ atcha!) THE BEST MOVIE TRENDS OF 2011 Cars that go vroom ( Drive , Fast Five , Drive Angry , Senna , Cars 2 , Bellflower ) 2011 was a great year for gearheads – hell, Fast Five pretty much made the year, and it came out way back in April. Even if you can’t tell a tire iron from a lugnut, the cars of 2011 were pretty damn exciting to watch; look no further than the quivering mass of mechanical muscle that is the Mother Medusa from Bellflower for the single sexiest car-that-might-as-well-be-a-character of the year. Emo manly men ( Drive , Warrior , Fast Five , Shame ) Few things brought me as much joy in 2011 as the sight of hot, often burly grown men weeping, or at least near tears. Or, at least, you know, feeling stuff. And preferably shirtless. Sometimes with a partner of the same sex. The grand prixe of 2011 in this category goes to Warrior ’s Tom Hardy, who hulked OUT and tapped his inner feral child, all hurt and lonely and in glorious, glorious pain. Planet Terror ( Another Earth , Melancholia , Tree of Life , Apollo 18 ) Galactic dramarama, man. It never feels quite like the world is coming to an end like it does when the world is literally coming to an end. And alternately, as in Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life , the cosmos and the wonderment that is creation itself can be so terrifyingly awe-inspiring when you sit down and think about it… and think about it… and think about it. Unless you’re watching some alien attack bullshit on the moon. Forget that noise. All Things Ryan Gosling ( Drive , Ides of March , Crazy, Stupid, Love. , “Hey Girl,” NYC Street Fight) What can I say? He’s the coolest motherfucker in the world. He breaks up stranger danger street brawls, for goodness sake. He takes Eva Mendes to Disneyland! And to think, it all started down on the soundstages of The Mickey Mouse Club … Relationships, They’re Hard and Stuff ( Bellflower , Young Adult , A Separation , Like Crazy , One Day , Crazy, Stupid, Love. ) Sure, we’ll never see an end to movies about relationships. I mean, duh. But in 2011 we got a surprising batch of tales about love, falling in love, and the crazy batshit insane things we do for it. Forget the craptastic rom-coms and bad studio “relationship” comedies of the year ( The Change-Up , Something Borrowed , anything starring Sarah Jessica Parker or Katherine Heigl — and especially New Year’s Eve , which starred both Sarah Jessica Parker and Katherine Heigl). And let the two near-identically named Facebook generation rom-coms of the year ( Friends with Benefits , No Strings Attached ) pass. They meant you no harm. Now go straight to the smaller films that dropped the sometimes blissful, often painful real talk about romance, and cry a good cry: Like Crazy , Bellflower , A Separation , Young Adult . Hell, even The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has something to say about crushing on your coworkers. Honorable mentions: Animal heroes ( Buck, Project Nim, Rise of the Planet of the Apes , Rango ), ass-kicking heroines ( Colombiana, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hanna , Sucker Punch ), problem children ( We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 , Beautiful Boy ) Now for the worst movie trends of 2011…
