Terrible Shrek-Themed Weddings are Coincidentally Happening Again, Right Now

NOOO, it has begun anew! You may remember how taunted we felt last year when, in a burst of total coincidence that came just as the Broadway musical Shrek just happened to be struggling, a whole bunch of people dressed up as the green ogre in public, including Regis Philbin and some wackadoos getting married across the Atlantic. Now, it is happening again. And I think we need to take a closer look.

Best Worst Movie Director on Troll 2, Sequel Plans, and Why the Original Isn’t as Bad as You Heard

Any 10-year-old’s life would probably change when cast as the young lead in a horror film. But Michael Paul Stephenson wasn’t cast in just any horror film back in 1989. He whimpered and winced through Troll 2 , which has since earned a rarified cult-classic distinction as the worst movie ever made. And now, having lived to tell, Stevenson will this weekend unveil Best Worst Movie , his new documentary about living to tell.

Fox Picks Up Arrested Development Reunion

Well, not that kind of Arrested Development reunion. (Trust us, it’s never gonna happen .) Instead, Fox has ordered to series a new pilot from Arrested creator Mitch Hurwitz that reteams him Will Arnett in the story of a rich jerk who falls for a do-gooder (Keri Russell). The show used to be named Wilde Kingdom , but now that title’s been changed to Running Wilde . Why not ” Cougar Town “? It may be up for grabs soon… [ Deadline ]

On DVD: A Quarter-Billion Cantinflas Fans Can’t Be Wrong

Who’s Cantinflas? You may not have heard of him, but hundreds of millions of Latinos and Latinas from Buenos Aires to Beverly Hills know him as the most famous Mexican movie star ever — a comic figure so infused in popular Spanish-speaking culture that his name is officially an adjective and verb recognized by the Royal Spanish Academy. Think about it: A quarter of a billion people use your name in everyday conversation during your lifetime (he died in 1993). That’s props. And now Sony is paying tribute of its own.

Dear Gamers: Please See My Movie. Love, Jake Gyllenhaal

And this is what it has come to apparently. While promoting Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time , star Jake Gyllenhaal has taken to begging for the approval of the finicky gamer audience to see his new, video game-based, movie. Because the only thing that can sink the box office potential of a movie faster than negative reviews is negative reviews from a niche audience of demographically friendly fans who will see the movie anyway. You tell ’em, Jake!

Spartacus Starz Prequel Coming

Starz has announced the start of production on the six-part prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand , which will air in January 2011. The miniseries will have a brief appearance from Andy Whitfield, who plays Spartacus and is still recovering from Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, but it will focus mainly on the characters played by Lucy Lawless and John Hannah. This is refreshing for two reasons: 1) I love Lucy Lawless . 2) That is all.
