Record-Breaking Hangover 2 Settles Face Tattoo Dispute

With a whopping $489.1 million global box office take under its belt, surely Warner Bros. could afford to settle its legal dispute with the tattoo artist who copyrighted Mike Tyson’s tribal face design that Ed Helms sports in The Hangover Part II . And while details are hazy on WB’ s dealings with said artist, it appears that the beef has now been “amicably resolved.” No digital erase-job for the DVD release! Creative copyright ostensibly protected! Happy endings for all! [ The Wrap ]

Here, Kitty: Puss in Boots Gets New Trailer, New Poster

In high school, my friend Monica would sit behind me in class and draw pictures of cockeyed old men in wizard hats with patchy chest hair and scary, idiotic grins. It was weird and unsettling and hilarious (and I should be ashamed for encouraging it), but that was the point. In the case of the new Puss In Boots poster, we get all of that unrestrained, ambiguous sexuality, but with little of the winking creepiness. It’s just creepy — the way a strutting cat with a sincere stare in jaunty boots ought to be, frankly.

Guillermo Del Toro May Be Too Busy for Hellboy III

Hellboy comic creator Mike Mignola is shedding doubt on the possibility for a Hellboy III , suggesting that director Guillermo del Toro is quite unlikely to get around it. “Last I heard he said he would not make it,” Mignola said at the Calgary Comics Expo. “Guillermo — who I love — in every interview there’s a new story on what his next movie is and he honestly believes he’s going to do all these things….I’m not surprised because he won’t live long enough to do a tenth of the movies he’s told me he’s going to make.” In the immediate future, del Toro will film Pacific Rim .

On His 40th Birthday, A Remembrance of Tupac Shakur’s Film Career

If not for his untimely death at the age of 25, Tupac Shakur would have turned 40 today. The West Coast rapper had already reached legendary status in the hip-hop world before his tragic ( and still unsolved ) murder in 1996 after just five living years in the game, during which time he’d released five studio albums and established himself as one of the most fascinatingly enigmatic, troubled, and complex figures of his generation. But he’d also demonstrated talent and depth in six feature film roles. On his 40th birthday, revisit his brief but memorable film work.

How Jason Sudeikis Mastered Movie Wanking

“Here’s a little movie-magic fun fact for you. I did all my research for that scene by going on Chatroulette, that website where guys masturbate for strangers. My moves in Hall Pass are an amalgamation of, I don’t know, maybe 20,000 different dudes. I took the facial expressions from SexHog22; I took the hand motions from GrizzlyBearDong. Those guys really know what they’re doing.” [ Playboy ]
