Bad Movies We Love: Spider-Man 3

We revived Bad Movies We Love last week with Cher’s Chastity , a quaint ’60s jam full of boring monologues and menacing lesbianism. But Movieline is barreling ahead with a film that combines superhero glitz, melodrama and the campy pizazz of a Gwen Stacy dye job: Spider-Man 3 . You think James Franco is fancy now with his Oscar buzz and amputee cred ? Wait until you revisit him in Spider-Man 3 , the film that pinned our disbelief under a boulder and forced us to saw it off using Topher Grace’s frosty tips. Are you emotionally ready to revisit when Spider-Man went emo?

VIDEO: District 9 Director Gets into Viral Marketing With Mystery Clip

A mysterious video from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp popped up in the digital iPad version of WiReD Magazine – and nobody knows what it is! In the clip itself, two guys find a dead monster (or possibly alien), and then a dead something else in the distance. A circular stamp on the side reads: “18.12 AGM Heartland Pat Pend USA. ” Don’t worry, I’ve tried entering every version of that phrase into a web browser to no avail. Though if anyone is better than me with anagrams and has some other suggestions, chime in. So yes, it could be a promo for Blomkamp’s upcoming sci-fi film Elysium …or something else.

Bristol Palin Loses Dancing with the Stars, Goes Out with ‘Middle Finger’

Maybe there’s hope for America yet. After weeks of speculation, conjecture, conspiracy and all-out panic , the blue portion of the nation breathed a big sigh of relief last night when Bristol Palin lost Dancing with the Stars . Next stop, the White House, amirite?! Oh, wait: Barack Obama is still president, Dancing with the Stars is just a television show, and liberal bête noire Sarah Palin wasn’t even competing. So, why was everyone so outraged at the idea of a 20-year-old girl winning?

Mars Needs Moms Trailer: An Argument Against Motion-Capture Animation

The trailer for the latest (and possibly final ) Robert Zemeckis-produced motion-capture opus Mars Needs Moms has arrived and, to it’s credit, the CGI humans here do not look quite as much like horrifying corpses as they did in The Polar Express and A Christmas Carol . The premise is cute, as far as this sort of thing goes, and some of the space landscapes are rendered beautifully…and yet, more than any other trailer recently, Mars Needs Moms makes me yearn for old-school animation.

Gift Guide: The Next Rushmore?

There are any number of reasons to dislike Simon Rich: At 26, he’s a published author, writer for Saturday Night Live and The New Yorker and can call famed New York Times columnist Frank Rich “dad.” Oh, there’s also the fact that his first novel, Elliot Allagash , hasn’t even been out for a year and is already earmarked for big-screen glory thanks to Academy Award nominee Jason Reitman. Ugh! There’s just one reason to not want to smack Rich upside the head: He’s really, really talented.

Gift Guide: Wake Up With Darth Vader

From Movieline’s 2010 Holiday Gift Guide : The ultimate gift for the Star Wars junkie in your life, or even better, the perfect gag gift for that special person who hates the George Lucas franchise. Either way this would be a worthy addition to any dorm room nightstand (especially if placed next to that hamburger phone ).

Gift Guide: Wrinkled Ex-Junkie Rocker Writes One of the Best Memoirs Ever

From Movieline’s 2010 Holiday Gift Guide : It’s an understatement to call Keith Richards’ Life one of the most charming memoirs of the year. This could be one of the most charming memoirs ever written : a book that’s frank, affectionate, sharply observed (especially for a guy who spent the good part of a decade in a cocaine-and-heroin whirlwind) and, best of all, outlandishly, wickedly funny.
