Dog Sings Along to Daft Punk, Then Falls Back Asleep

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We have a challenger to that dog who sings along to Adele . Meet Wagner. He’s a White Shepherd with an apparent fondness for Daft Punk, as his owner makes clear in this adorable video. As soon as “Get Lucky” hits, Wagner awakens from a nap, howls along with the up-tempo track… and then collapses back asleep once it ends. Is he as talented as Amanda Seyfriend’s dog ? Maybe not. But that is quite the high bar to set. Watch Wagner do his musical thing now: Dog Sings Along to Daft Punk

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer: Critics to Blame for Lone Ranger Flop

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

According to the The Lone Ranger reviews , the movie was awful. According to almost everyone who saw the film, the movie was awful. It had moments that were watchable, even entertaining, but in the end, the overall picture was one that didn’t quite measure up to the legend and history of The Lone Ranger . Therefore, it failed. Spectacularly. That isn’t stopping Lone Ranger stars Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, from going on record as blaming the critics and their negative reviews for their box office failure. Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer on Critics’ Reaction to The Lone Ranger As you can see, it isn’t just the film’s stars! Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski got in on the fun as well. Did these four all meet out in the hallway and synchronize their watches or something? You have to imagine that Armie Hammer’s publicist foresaw the blowback that statements like “It’s got to the point with American critics that if you aren’t as smart as Plato, you’re stupid. That seems like a sad way to live your life” would get, which is why she attempted to stop him. There was no one there to even try and stop Johnny Depp from declaring that the critics who reviewed the film had formed their opinions 7 or 8 months beforehand and didn’t even attempt to change them after seeing the film. That publicist? She’s probably seen The Lone Ranger and agrees with the critics. And the public. The Lone Ranger was not good. Blaming the critics does nothing but put a spotlight on that. Bad move Armie and Johnny. Bad move indeed.

‘[It’s] always scary when you try to show someone the story of their life,’ Jon Chu tells MTV News of screening for teen star. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: John Shearer/ WireImage In February fans will finally get the chance to see Justin Bieber’s long-awaited “Never Say Never.” And the flick’s director, Jon Chu, recently dished to MTV News that things are coming along fine as he puts the finishing touches on the February 11 release. “Oh, we stand pretty tall. It’s nuts! This is a world that I have never experienced before,” he laughed to MTV News about the 3-D film. Chu, who was promoting the DVD release of “Step Up 3D,” said getting the fans’ support has been invaluable. “Again it’s like dance, where music tells the story. It’s really interesting and his fans have been amazing, shooting him in 3-D in Madison Square Garden , exploring his life, going to his hometown. We’re almost done with our cut right now and I’m really proud of it. I think people are going to be surprised about the story that they’re going to get. Something is really special.” Bieber tweeted about seeing the film recently and gave it his seal of approval. And Chu admitted to us that he’s feeling the pressure now to make the best possible film. “I mean, I’m always nervous. We’re always trying to make our movies better,” he explained. “We’re never done with it though. I just keep going until they tell me I’ve run out of time. So [Justin] got to see it this week, which was really exciting and he loved it, which is always scary when you try to show someone the story of their life, but he’s been very supportive, he and his family and his team. I’m excited to share it with the world and show another side of 3-D. With ‘Step Up 3D,’ we learned a lot of lessons and we discovered a lot of things, and it’s just the beginning.” Are you excited to see Justin’s “Never Say Never” movie next year?
