Watch Family Guy Parody Return of the Jedi, With Bonus Alec Baldwin Joke

Posted on December 20, 2010 by | Comments Off on Watch Family Guy Parody Return of the Jedi, With Bonus Alec Baldwin Joke

If you always thought that Return of the Jedi would benefit from toilet humor, good news: Seth MacFarlane has reimagined the Richard Marquand classic to do just so in Family Guy ‘s third and final Star Wars parody: It’s a Trap! The feature, which will be released on DVD tomorrow, includes Han Solo flatulence jokes, Paraplegic Joe as Jabba the Hut and a cameo from Pee-wee Herman. If that isn’t enticing enough, allow MacFarlane to sell you on the latest George Lucas homage: “It’s more of exactly the same kind of jokes you’ve seen in the other two. So if you like those, this is the same and you’ll enjoy it just as much.” Take your first look ahead.

Gift Guide: The AT-AT the Size of a Pony

Posted on November 23, 2010 by | Comments Off on Gift Guide: The AT-AT the Size of a Pony

Somewhere, in the archives of Eldon, Missouri’s local newspaper, the Advertiser , there’s a photo of a 7-year-old me with my favorite toy at the time, the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) from The Empire Strikes Back . For this gift guide, Hasbro sent me the updated version of the AT-AT — which may be about the same size that I was at age seven.

12 Star Wars Scenes That Will Be Glorious in 3-D

Posted on September 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on 12 Star Wars Scenes That Will Be Glorious in 3-D

Starting in 2012 , Lucasfilm will be releasing one Star Wars film per year in 3-D. And right on cue, there’s already an outcry over the fact that the first film will be The Phantom Menace . Oh, boo hoo . Look, I’m not a fan of the prequels, but those three films were absolutely made for 3-D — so why not embrace the conversion? In anticipation, here are 12 scenes from the Star Wars saga that, if I didn’t know better, were tailor-made to witness with a third dimension.

At TIFF: History Class is in Session with Robert Redford’s Conspirator (Just Don’t Fall Asleep)

Posted on September 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Behold the paradox of Robert Redford: Lauded as one of the most innovative, influential filmmaking advocates around, as a filmmaker he has acquired a reputation as a snooze and a scold. In turn, over the last decade especially, I have acquired a reciprocal Redford Reflex: When I heard that his as-yet-unacquired historical drama The Conspirator was screening at TIFF, I felt my eyelids droop ever so slightly, and my throat begin to dry. An independent project with a rich vein of history running through it could be double trouble or a revelation. Either way the Redford Reflex was in full effect; I knew my morning screening would require something large and violently caffeinated.

Tim Gunn Outs Taylor Momsen As ‘Pathetic’ Diva

Posted on September 15, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Project Runway guru ( and friend to Movieline ) Tim Gunn is putting the “gossip” back in Gossip Girl . After filming a guest spot for the CW series recently, Gunn complained about 17-year-old Taylor Momsen, whom he shared a scene with. “What a diva!” he told E! News . “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hostage by this brat?” It gets better. As Momsen wasted precious crew time on her cell phone, Gunn rehearsed a hypothetical scolding. “I’d say, ‘You know young lady, there are hundreds of thousands of girls who are just as attractive and even smarter than you. Why are you acting like this show is a huge burden on you?'” [ E! ]
