I guess Emma Stone is trying to legitimize her acting career, from being the nerdy obscure girl in some nerd targeted low budget movie, to being the nerdy obscure girl in some nerd targeted blockbuster that put her on the fucking map, now wanting to do some Chicago Musical theatre where she’s playing the Renee Zellweger part, with a less mutated but equally unattractive face…all in lingerie to be Broadway official…now she can be considered an actual actor…instead of the scam that should still be working at the local third wave coffee shop making Lattes…with acting dreams and aspirations that ideally would have never actually happened – but unfortunately did.
Keira Knightley has a seriously loyal and weird fan base. I don’t know what it is with her, but she has consistently been able to lure every creepy socially awkward weirdo around by her nerdy targeted movies…and I guess these tit pics are going to take her to the next fucking level for those creepy socially awkward weirdo fans…because now they’ve seen her tits. I’m sure she’s been topless before, but when you never had tits in your mouth, all tits, or all sizes, suddenly become exciting as fuck. I’m not a fan, but I’ll still stare…
Weird Al Yankovic has enjoyed a long and storied career, with nearly four decades of parodying popular chart-toppers. Now, the beloved comic is breathing the same rarefied air as the artists he lampoons, as his 14th studio album, Mandatory Fun has officially debuted at number one! Given the hilarious nature of the lyrics and the ingenious marketing strategy of having Al release a song a day online for eight straight days, it’s no surprise that the album is Yankovic’s most popular to date. At 54, the spoof artist still has his finger on the pulse of popular music, and he kicked off last week’s promotional campaign with the debut of “Tacky,” a take on Pharell’s omnipresent mega-hit “Happy.” Al followed that up with a hilarious re-write of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” and ” Foil ,” an aluminum-wrap-based ode to Lorde’s “Royals.” Yankovic has been characteristically modest about his stunning achievement, tweeting, “If you had told me 30 years ago that this would happen, I never would’ve believed it. If you had told me TWO WEEKS ago, I never would’ve believed it!” In honor of the man who made the accordion cool, please enjoy our video gallery of Weird Al’s greatest hits below. Congrats on the number one, Al. Here’s hoping for many more! Weird Al: 15 Unforgettable Hits 1. Weird Al Yankovic – White & Nerdy Weird Al gets White & Nerdy in this hilarious 2009 music video parody of “Ridin’ Dirty.”
Talk Nerdy weighs in on the most anticipated movies of summer 2012, from Batman’s last voyage to Earth’s mightiest superhero showdown. By Josh Wigler Chris Evans as Captain America In “The Avengers” Photo: Walt Disney Studios “The Avengers” is just one week away. You know what that means: Aside from being the big payoff for years and years and years of waiting on the part of Marvel Comics fans, “Avengers” is also the opening act in what’s sure to be one of the biggest summer movie seasons in quite some time. Batman, Spider-Man, Agent J and more are back in theaters after far too long a wait, while others — David 8 , Roadblock , Alex Hopper — are showing up for the first time. It’s a crowded landscape to be sure; you’ll want to spend your hard-earned theatergoing cash wisely if you want to weed out the fantastic, can’t-miss movies from the fugly, must -miss ones. That’s why the nerds at MTV News used this week’s edition of Talk Nerdy to guide you through the upcoming blockbuster months with which movies you need to see, which ones you can skip, and which ones shouldn’t slip under your radar. Do Not Miss
An avalanche of new trailers dominates the geek-tastic discussion in this week’s episode of Talk Nerdy! By Josh Wigler Jeremy Renner in “Bourne Legacy” Photo: Universal Studios Second to glorious football, the big reason to tune into the Super Bowl every year is the commercials. For movie fans, this year was a giant one: We got great new looks at Taylor Kitsch’s doubleheader in “Battleship” and “John Carter,” but the main event was Joss Whedon’s superhero-studded “Avengers.” But not to be outdone, another Marvel hero swung into action after the big game. “The Amazing Spider-Man” released its full theatrical trailer on Tuesday, spinning web-worthy chatter all week long. But even Spidey has to face some serious competition in the form of a new super spy who isn’t named Jason Bourne. We got into these trailers and more in this week’s Talk Nerdy, featuring special guest and closet nerd Rob Markman from MTV News’ hip-hop team! “Bourne” To Die There was never just one. Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne is as iconic as they come in the superspy scene, no doubt, but he has new company in the form of Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross. Cross steps into the forefront with this week’s release of the first “Bourne Legacy” teaser… but does it live up to its name? Is this a teaser worthy of the storied “Bourne” franchise? See what the Nerdy crew thinks in this week’s episode. Spider-Can Bourne doesn’t get the spotlight all to himself, of course. There’s also the new “Spider-Man” trailer to weigh in on this week! Andrew Garfield cracks wise and swings high in the Marvel icon’s classic red-and-blues, and overall, fans are very pleased with this latest “Amazing” look. That said, even with an awesome new trailer at his disposal, did Spider-Man win the superhero of the week award? Or did another of Earth’s mightiest comic book movies steal some of Spidey’s thunder? The “Phantom” Looms There’s lots to choose from at the box office this weekend, including the re-release of “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” this time in 3-D. Is it worth going back to the world of a long time ago in a galaxy far away just for some new visual tricks, or are the weekend’s all-new releases more deserving of your hard-earned theatergoing cash? One nerd played it “Safe” on the issue, while another “Vow”-ed to see something special ahead of Valentine’s Day next week. Get their picks in the latest episode of Talk Nerdy.

‘Talk Nerdy to Me’ returns with an all-new episode about Bane’s hard-to-decipher voice, ‘Star Trek 2’ and the MTV Movie Brawl 2012 tournament. By Josh Wigler Benedict Cumberbatch Photo: Getty Images Welcome to 2012, fellow nerds! With return trips to Middle-earth and Gotham City in the cards, not to mention sightings of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Ridley Scott ‘s return to sci-fi on the horizon, the coming months are sure to usher in one of the most geek-friendly years of all time. It’s only appropriate then that “Talk Nerdy to Me” (the MTV News one-stop shop for all things comic books, movies and television) rises to the size and stature of the new year. That means more Hulk hands, light-sabers and action figures, more punch-out sound effects and — most importantly — more heated nerdy debate to come all throughout 2012 … and it all starts now! Watch the embedded video for the latest episode of “Talk Nerdy to Me,” and read on for a synopsis of what we discussed this week on the show! The Bane Problem “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” has been kicking ass and taking names at the box office for weeks now, thanks in no small part to the “Dark Knight Rises” prologue attached to IMAX prints of the Tom Cruise action vehicle. Fans are raving about the first look at Christopher Nolan’s last Batman movie, except for one teensy, tiny problem: Bane’s voice . The Caped Crusader’s newest nemesis’ mask-muffled muttering has left some viewers scratching their heads, and Nolan’s apparent insistence on not improving the clarity of Bane’s dialogue has only led to further bewilderment. But should fans really be so worried about the so-called “Bane problem,” or is it all much ado about nothing? Find out what Team Nerdy thinks in this week’s episode. “Sherlock” Goes to Space Between playing Britain’s greatest detective and Middle-earth’s most fearsome dragon, how many more iconic roles does Benedict Cumberbatch need to plop on his plate? Why not give him one more: The “Sherlock” and “War Horse” actor is beaming aboard J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek 2” as the film’s lead villain, ending a long search that’s seen actors Benicio del Toro and Edgar Ramirez circling the role. But the question remains: Who is Cumberbatch playing? “Nerdy’s” Brian Phares expects a new character, while the rest of the team feels like screaming “KHAAAAAAAN!” Who do you think Cumberbatch is playing? The Brawl for It All Finally, nothing like a shameless plug to start the new year right! Team Nerdy took some time to talk about MTV Movie Brawl 2012 , our current tournament to decide which movie you guys are most excited to see in the coming year. Some flicks like “Hunger Games” and “Breaking Dawn” are dominating as expected, but others — namely “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Skyfall” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” — are underperforming, so much so that some so-called “shoo-ins” might not even make it into the March Madness-style bracket kicking off on Monday. We already put the question to “Avengers” and “Spider-Man” fans , but it bears repeating to the Batman and Bond crowd: Where are you guys? Time’s running out!

In this week’s ‘Talk Nerdy to Me,’ the team tackles the Batman prologue, the latest ‘Ender’s Game’ casting and more. By Josh Wigler Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures After a weeklong hiatus, “Talk Nerdy to Me” is back in action with all of your comic book, movie and TV needs. From today’s official announcement of the “Dark Knight Rises” prologue to a special cameo from Daniel Day-Lewis’ Abraham Lincoln beard, this week’s “Talk Nerdy” has it all. Keep reading for a taste of what you’ll see this week, and watch the episode in the video below! “Dark Knight” Prologue Confirmed Now that the news is official, the Talk Nerdy team is left wondering what Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight Rises” prologue might entail. Are we in store for a “Batman Begins”-inspired montage? Might we see the death of a popular character from the Caped Crusader’s supporting cast? We floated a few of our own theories, however ridiculous, in this week’s episode. “Ender’s” Cast The wheels are most certainly in motion for “Ender’s Game,” director Gavin Hood’s big-screen adaptation of the beloved Orson Scott Card novel. “Hugo” star Asa Butterfield has been confirmed to play the titular Ender, and there are talks of “True Grit” actress Hailee Steinfeld and the legendary Harrison Ford joining the cast as well. Great actors, to be sure, but are they the right ones for the project? Find out what Nerdy’s Brian Phares thinks about the upcoming project. The “Game of Thrones” Blu’s When you play the “Game of Thrones,” you win or you die. But when it comes to the HBO fantasy show’s upcoming Blu-ray collection, it looks like we’re all going to win. The Blu-ray was announced earlier this week, and the details are bound to have fans of the franchise foaming at the mouth. The Nerdy team geeked out over the upcoming collection, especially the announced “Creating the Dothraki Language” feature. Spider-Leak, Spider-Leak The weekend box office is dry in terms of new wide releases, so we recommend you just go ahead and see “The Muppets” again. It’s that good! In lieu of our normal box-office report, this week’s Talk Nerdy focused on the infamous “Amazing Spider-Man” Lizard leak from earlier in the week. Needless to say, the team was not impressed. Tell us what you thought of this week’s Talk Nerdy in the comments section!

The ‘Breaking Dawn’ star’s ‘Snow White’ trailer and possible ‘Akira’ casting are hot topics on ‘Talk Nerdy to Me.’ By Josh Wigler Kristen Stewart in “Snow White & The Huntsman” Photo: Universal Kristen Stewart is having a big week. Not only is she kicking off the first of her final two “Twilight” films with Friday’s (November 18) release of “Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” she also set the geek world on fire with her “Snow White and the Huntsman” trailer and reports that she could join the cast of “Akira,” based on the beloved Katsuhiro Otomo anime and manga of the same name. But the reactions to those two projects have been decidedly mixed — as with all things, there’s some good and some bad — so it’s up to us to dive into those topics and more on this week’s episode of “Talk Nerdy to Me.”Keep reading for a taste of all the “Nerdy”-ness that awaits you this week! KStew Approaches “Akira” News dropped earlier this week that an offer has been made to Stewart to join the cast of “Akira” as Kei, the psychokinetic female lead. It’s not necessarily Stewart’s casting that has fans so up in arms, but the very nature of the project itself: Gone are the Asian influences of the original “Akira,” as Neo-Tokyo is renamed Neo-Manhattan and an all-Japanese cast is turned into an all-white one, among other grievances. “Nerdy” resident fanboy Brian Phares and MTV Geek’s Alex Zalben were divided on their feelings on the “Akira” adaptation; find out what they had to say in this week’s episode. Kristen’s Total “Snow” Out While not everyone is on-board with Stewart approaching “Akira,” the support for her work in “Snow White and the Huntsman” is unanimous. Kristen’s debut as the fairy-tale-princess-turned-cunning-warrior electrified the Web last Thursday and continues to impress over a week later. But Stewart’s not the only fairest maiden around: Lily Collins made her Snow White debut in the “Mirror, Mirror” trailer, which has not been as warmly received … with the exception of one “Talk Nerdy” host (definitely not yours truly, you guys), who can’t contain his excitement for Tarsem Singh’s next movie. (Seriously, I’m really pumped.) Doctor Potter Moving away from Kristen for a moment, the nerdosphere was taken by surprise this week with the announcement that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” director David Yates would be launching a big-screen take on “Doctor Who,” the popular BBC television series that’s been around for nearly 50 years now. There’s some skepticism that this vision of “Who” will ever see theaters, though Zalben, our resident “Who” expert, has a different take on the news. Men of Steel, Too! In other surprising movie news, rumors emerged this week that “Man of Steel” is already ramping up its sequel. Warner Bros. is reportedly seeking writers for a follow-up to Zack Snyder’s Superman film — a year and a half ahead of that movie’s June 2013 release, mind you — and Team Nerdy pondered whether it’s just too early to look so far ahead. “Breaking” the Box Office We closed out this week’s episode with another round of Stewart-related goodness, examining the box-office prospects for “Breaking Dawn.” Spoiler alert: It’s going to make a metric you-know-what ton of money. We also looked ahead at next week’s new releases and vocalized our support for the return of the “Muppets.” Get all of our box-office analysis in this week’s “Talk Nerdy.” Tell us what you thought of this week’s “Talk Nerdy to Me” in the comments section!
