Humor

This morning while recording the latest episode of Fat Guys at the Movies, I was alerted by my colleague Kevin Carr of a video — a video of the internet variety…

When an employee gets the FBI involved in a price fixing investigation, a witless goon and his mustache become the keys to a governmental investigation.

Courtesy of the fine people at Vanity Fair is a gallery titled “Comedy’s New Legends,” which features some beautifully-inspired photography of whom VF considers to be the important cultural heroes of contemporary comedy, with a brief discussion of how and why they have attained that status.

Clint Eastwood is still a badass, and I would go as far as to say that he will remain that way until the day he dies. He is also quick to remind us that we are all a bunch of pussies.

You are never going to believe who’s playing Catwoman!

Many of you had a chance to see the Sarah Palin appearance on Saturday Night Live last night, but the Moose-hunting Vice Presidential candidate’s appearance was overshadowed by an appearance from Mark Wahlberg, who came on to threaten to break Andy Samberg’s big, beautiful nose.

With 5 “of the Dead” films already done and another on the way, we decided to lighten Romero’s workload by coming up with the titles and plots for his next seven films.

I am going to file this under “Humor” but it is more along the lines of “mildly funny, worth a look on a slow day.” So, if you are having a slow day and you dig a laugh at the expense of Harry Potter, this should be right up your alley.

Film adaptations of book seem to be pretty popular these days. Here’s one that I would like to see.

And no, unfortunately they don’t write for us here at Film School Rejects.

To the untrained eye (and unjaded soul) the headline above may appear to be misleading hyperbole. But no, these are hard facts taken directly from the author’s own mouth.

Nicholas Meyer is penning the script for a project on George Washington that will probably focus on his leading America to independence instead of his time-traveling robot past.

Yesterday we showed you our first online look at Les Grossman, the booty-dancing, over the top studio executive played by Tom Cruise Tropic Thunder. But that was just a picture, today we’ve got video.

There’s an ad campaign over at scarlettjohansson.com promising the chance to score a threesome with the hot, young star. Not only are we entering it, we’re winning it. With your help.

With quotes this big, you would think that Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly and Peter Travers of Rolling Stone were official sponsors of the upcoming film Hamlet 2.

I am anxiously awaiting the start of the fourth season, which will hit the airwaves of FX on September 18 at 10:00pm. And in an attempt to drum up some buzz for the fourth season, the drunken comedic masterminds set off to do a little music video entitled “Going Back to Philly.”

Fat, follicle-free, and funny, Tom Cruise may yet get back in favor with his formerly rabid fans in his role as Les Grossman, the overweight, foul-mouthed, bald studio head in Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet and the scruple-less folks who traverse it, YouTube has a leaked copy of the theme song three months before the film’s release… In a manner of speaking.

We can probably chalk this one up as the most ridiculous, yet oddly intriguing thing that we will report all day.

If you are yet to gain insight into the shenanigans at hand in Hamlet 2, perhaps you should check out the following video clips, which were sent over to us by the fine folks at Focus Features this afternoon.
