Rapper Immortal Technique Reviews Immortals, Invokes Kubrick, Slams Star Wars

Posted on November 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I’ve said it before: Next Movie’s ” Rappers Review Movies ” video series is ingenious. The latest rhymer to play Ebert with Hollywood’s new releases is NYC -based Immortal Technique, a lyricist who frequently uses his songs to draw attention to socio-economic and political disparities. Taking on Tarsem ‘s Greek actioner Immortals , he drops some serious conscious commentary on even greater issues: Namely, how much Clash of the Titans and the next-gen Star Wars movies totally sucked. PREACH !

What Happy Madison Intern is Behind the Sad, Sad Jack and Jill Twitter Page?

Posted on November 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s Friday, opening day for Sony’s legendarily crapped-upon Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill — so what better time to launch a Jack and Jill Twitter feed than today, amirite? So the timing’s not so good; at the time of this writing the page is just a few hours old. But the Tweets?? PRICELESS . Trust me: Skip the movie, hold onto your $10, and instead give it to the poor Happy Madison intern you might imagine slaving away in the office on a Friday trying to drum up interest in the abysmal comedy one unintentionally hilarious awful Tweet at a time. After the jump, a selection of the mind-blowingly best-worst Jack and Jill Tweets thus far. You’re welcome.

Bad Movies We Love: Billy Madison

Posted on November 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I won’t see Adam Sandler’s new joint Jack and Jill because I’m a thinking organism, but my defiance is worthless: I’ve already watched Billy Madison enough times to line Opera Man’s pockets with box office dollars for life. He already wins. The mid ’90s marked a renaissance in vulgar, idiotic kid comedies ( Dumb and Dumber , Tommy Boy , etc), and Sandler’s breakthrough Billy Madison — which barely earned back its $20 million budget — remains the best of the bunch. Let’s jump back in time and yell “O’Doyle rules!” at this loud old gem.

New Snow White and the Huntsman Art Suggests Alice-Like Tone

Posted on November 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Set photos of an armored Kristen Stewart and the star’s own description of Snow White and the Huntsman ‘s bloody edge had me thinking this could be the more transgressive of the two Snow White projects in the works (the other being Tarsem’s newly titled Mirror, Mirror , starring Lily Collins and Armie Hammer). The first official SWATH banner art, however, suggests something a bit more kid-friendly, even Alice in Wonderland -esque. Or am I reading too much into the fantastical, Photoshopped flora and fauna swirling around Stewart, Chris Hemsworth , and the disembodied head of evil queen Charlize Theron ?

So Much For #RatnerFreeOscars! AMPAS Stands by Producer: ‘It Will Not Happen Again’

Posted on November 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I’m still waiting for anyone from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to bother replying to my request for comment about yesterday’s Brett Ratner “rehearsing is for fags” imbroglio , but AMPAS president Tom Sherak has officially weighed in on the controversy: “He knew it was wrong and he issued that response as quickly as any human being ever has. The bottom line is, this won’t and can’t happen again. It will not happen again.” So much for the #RatnerFreeOscars ; it was nice to imagine while it lasted.

Muppets Song/Dance Sequence: Can Jason Segel Sing and Dance?

Posted on November 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Of course The Muppets begins with a happy-clappy street symphony that looks like an outtake from Bjork’s “It’s Oh So Quiet.” It’s The Muppets , dammit! Perkiness on tap, puppetry on parade. Here, in this opening scene from the new movie, Jason Segel and his Muppet brother Walter don matching suits and sing about lovin’ life . Because they do.

As noted here last week, James Bond has officially joined the Twitter era with the @007 handle. Which is to say: James Bond marketing has officially joined the Twitter era, with the first picture from the first day of filming — the actual first take, ZOMGGG — published this morning. And it’s kind of filthy.
