Between Two Ferns with Seth Galifianakis (mustached brother of Zach)

Zach Galifianakis is everywhere these days, and he's earned it. Between Two Ferns is a Funny or Die series he started before The Hangover made him a big star and it's good to see him keep it going. This episode has his brother Seth Galifianakis interviewing Sean Penn for Zach. Penn could win an Oscar for how miserable he looks.

Star Wars + Queen = Midichlorian Rhapsody (video)

Wow...if you haven't seen the Star Wars prequels, you might want to watch Midichlorian Rhapsody instead. For those of you unaccustomed to face melting rock and roll, this is a parody of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. "Midichlorian Rhapsody" parodies episodes 1-3 with a skill you don't usually find outside a Weird Al record. He tackled Episode 1 in "The Saga Begins." You can watch both videos below.

Gordon-Levitt and Johannson to star in zombie romance (rumor)

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Scarlet Johannson are "loosely" attached to star in Breathers: A Zombie's Lament, according to Pajiba. The script, written by Diablo Cody, is adapted from a novel of the same name. In a twist from the many other zombie films out there, this one will be about love, of all things. The book follows an undead man (Gordon-Levitt) who must come to grips with living as a decaying mound of flesh in a society that denies zombies basic rights. Johannson, I assume, falls in love with the dead guy. Sheesh. Women will fall in love with anything these days.

Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall greenlit and aiming for a 2012 release

Mark Millar says Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall has been greenlit, should hit theaters in 2012, and it looks like Matthew Vaughn will be back to direct. Not bad for a sequel that was only announced, in comic form, this May. The only delay is X-Men: First Class, a prequel Vaughn is directing under X-Men alumni Bryan Singer.

Weak car doors pervade new Due Date trailer

It's not a good sign when a joke is repeated twice in the same trailer, but I guess that's what we get when Todd Phillips is forced to try and out-funny The Hangover, his last big hit. Seriously, have you ever run into a car door and it just fell off? It never happens and the only time it's ever been funny in a movie was when Chris Farley did it in Tommy Boy. Now that's good stuff. The trailer and a quote from Phillips on the pressure to follow up his big hit are below.

TV wars! A complete guide to Amazon, Sony, Netflix, Apple, Google, HBO, Samsung, and Hulu's plans to change TV forever

The war to control your TV is heating up. Reports are coming in that Amazon is developing a subscription service to compete with Netflix and Sony is working on a full apps platform to compete on a broader scale with Samsung Apps and upcoming platforms like Google TV and Apple's rumored "iTV." In this extended post, I'll attempt to break down what we know so far. 

Two Battles

Really, there are two battles happening here. On one side, we have the Battle of the Platforms. Companies like Google, Apple, Samsung, and Sony want to operate the software platform that runs your TV, and other devices. The days of Cable companies like Comcast dominating your TV are numbered. Soon, your TV will get smart and run applications just like an iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone. 

On the other side, we have the Battle of the Streaming Services. Netflix practically invented this category, but Amazon, Hulu, HBO, and who knows who else are all ready to take the movie rental company down. 

We know the players, but which platforms and services will reign supreme? I break down the competition below.

Let's hunt some troll! Norwegian Troll Hunter mockumentary looks awesome

Have you ever wanted to hunt the elusive Norwegian troll? Well, a team of students have beaten you to it. They are on the hunt to uncover giant trolls that the government has hidden from the world (the official description is below). Don't get too excited though, there aren't any trolls in this teaser trailer. Still, it looks like a lot of fun. If you can read Norwegian, a long article about the movie is right here

Homer Simpson Vs. Army of Darkness (poster)

Trapped in time.
Surrounded by evil.
Low on Duff.

Fans of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead series and The Simpsons should get a kick out of this. I wish Matt Groaning would try something like this, as Family Guy has had a lot of success with its Star Wars remakes. The picture was drawn by Paul Williams and is a part of Another 100 Days of Art charity. 

If you know of a sweet graphic or trailer, contact me. I'd love to hear from you.

Ghostbusters 3 to star Oscar, Dana and Venkman's son (rumor)

I love me some Ghostbusters 3 news. Like many, I really want another Ghostbusters movie, but have a bad feeling about this one. Unconfirmed details have leaked that the new Ghostbusters film will star Dr. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) and Dana Barrett's (Sigourney Weaver) son, Oscar. You may remember him as the child Viigo the Carpathian planned to inhabit in Ghostbusters 2. The now 21-ish year old will follow in his father's footsteps and become a buster.

The Hobbit's hellish 73-year journey to the silver screen (infographic)

Getting The Hobbit from book to screen has been a drawn out and difficult process. Lucky for us, Blastr has made a Candyland-ish map to guide us through the many delays, false starts, and animated ghettos that have plagued J.R.R. Tolkien's original Middle Earth tale. The sad part is, we don't know if this is the end or just the beginning of the troubles. With the money troubles at MGM, Peter Jackson's two-part adaptation of The Hobbit has been delayed for some time now. The director promises news soon, but it's difficult to say when this film will be made. Click on the image to expand.

TAKERS is one shaky mess of a heist (review)

Rating:  (Bad)

I saw Takers with a theater full of rowdy, loud women. Midnight showings often bring out the dedicated and hardcore, but these ladies came to see one man. No, not heartthrob Paul Walker, not Michael Ealy, not T.I. They came to see Chris Brown. The moment Brown hit the screen, all I could hear were "woo"s, "aww yeahs", and "mmm mmm"s. Pretty hilarious, really. The ladies made the same sounds later on when Idris Elba (Stringer Bell from The Wire) got out of bed in his underwear. This was not a quiet experience at the theater. 

It's fitting that Takers is about as overblown as its audience. Like all urban heists, all the pieces are in place.

FoxTrot meets Inception

I've never been a huge FoxTrot fan, but this is damn clever. I think I've actually had this dream. Big thanks to TheOneRing for the link. Check out a lot more Bill Amend's comic online at FoxTrot.com. Click on the picture to enhance.
