Bad Movies We Love: Father of the Bride Part II

A friend of mine once explained to me her chief problem with movies: “I don’t like when movies have conflicts. Can’t we just hang out with the characters and make jokes and have fun? It’s nicer that way.” This week’s Bad Movie We Love answers that harebrained prayer with a conflict-free plot, a smiley disposition from beginning to end, and a huge helping of total irrelevance. It’s the 1995 sequel Father of the Bride Part II starring The Big Year ‘s lead amigo Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, and a company of stress-free actors. Father of the Bride Part II is the cinematic equivalent of vanilla ice cream with butterscotch syrup: old-fashioned, tasty, and fit for consumption on a Sunday afternoon with your grandparents. Put in your dentures and watch the sedatest version of a “wild and crazy guy” you’ll ever see.

Jenna Ushkowitz Goes for a Night Swim of the Day

The thing people generally don’t realize is that these people who they see on TV, aren’t the characters they see on TV, but are actually little want to be famous sluts who want nothing more that the male attention, money and general acceptance from the world by being famous….So if I watched Glee and saw this awkward asian kid singing faggot songs of freedom with the gang of rejects you’d laugh at if you saw at the mall cuz they are so politically correct and diverse….which I don’t cuz I fear it will turn me into a homosexual…not to mention I hate everything it is and represents…but at least I’d know their cast was all whores, sluts, drug addicts, drunks behind their virgin nerd hustle… So here’s one of them doing some bikini shit for some shitty photographer who everyone thinks is trendy and cool now…name Tyler Shields…

Here Are Actual Approved Photos and Poster for X-Men: First Class. Seriously.

Oh, internet! First you give us an unofficial, grainy looks at the first photo of the characters in X-Men: First Class , then you give us a supposedly official, high-res look at the same photo…and now you tell us that wasn’t official either . In fact, director Matthew Vaughn is furious about that last photo. So furious, that he’s going to say the F-word several times and give us actual official photos of Michael Fassbender as Magneto and James McAvoy as Professor Xavier. Meanwhile, an equally approved poster for the film has hit as well. See all three and read more about Vaughn’s take on the film after the jump.

Watch Likely Oscar Nominees Get Stoned and Fight Monsters in Your Highness Trailer

I’m picturing director David Gordon Green as a teenager, watching 80’s B-movies while totally high and imagining how amazing it would be if the characters in said B-movies were also stoned out of their mind. At some point, as we all must, he grew out of this phase, and later directed critical darlings like George Washington and All the Real Girls . Then one night it hit him: “Those days on the couch in the 80’s were the best!” Moreover, “What if all of the characters in those movies were totally high?” And thus, we got Pineapple Express and now the NSFW red band trailer to Your Highness , which pits Natalie Portman, James Franco and Danny McBride against three-headed creatures, sorcerers and potent marijuana.

Jon Bon Jovi: Living on a Prayer, Limping on a Stage

When the union went on strike, did Tommy give up? When tips at the diner were sparse, did Gina throw in her apron? No and no. Therefore, legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi – inspired by the characters he created for the iconic single “Livin on a Prayer” – continued with his concert in New Jersey over the weekend, despite a serious leg injury sustained during the set. Said a spokesperson afterward: “Jon Bon Jovi sustained a torn calf muscle. [He] made light of the injury and went on to close the show… The band ended the night together, thanking the capacity hometown crowd, and assisting Jon off the stage.” The development won’t stop Bon Jovi from playing every stop of its tour this summer. Watch the injured lead singer in action below: Bon Jovi in Concert

The Case Against More Installments of Toy Story

Aside from the brief blip of Toy Story 2 in 1999, it seemed that Pixar was a company averse to creating sequels; now, though, they’re positively swamped by them. Toy Story 3. Cars 2 . A second installment of Monsters Inc . And now, while Toy Story 3 had been commonly regarded as the end of that franchise, director Lee Unkrich is reopening the door. “We know that people love the characters, love Woody and Buzz, and would hate to say good-bye to them completely,” Unkrich told MSN. “I don’t know that there would ever be a ‘ [Toy Story] 4 .’ We don’t have any plans for one — but we are trying to find ways to keep the characters alive. We have announced we’re going to do a short film in front of Cars 2 that uses the Toy Story characters. We’re going to keep them alive; they’re not going away forever.” What I’m saying is… maybe they should?

Courteney Cox Wants Friends Movie

Sex and the City 2 just keeps on wreaking havoc, doesn’t it? Now it’s prompted a jealous Courteney Cox to resurrect her own bigscreen transfer. “I wish we could do that with Friends ,” Cox told the LAT . “The thing is, the characters from Sex and the City hopped all over Manhattan. On Friends , we were always stuck in the apartment and that coffeehouse.” Then again, Sex 2 wasn’t afraid to shake up its surroundings with a relocation to Abu Dhabi. Imagine the potential of ladies shedding their burqas to reveal their very own “Rachel” haircuts to an appreciative Jennifer Aniston! [ LAT ]
