This is it, Popsuckers; the trailer for the Watchmen movie, due for a March 2009 release. Alas, I still have yet to read the acclaimed comic book series it's based upon, but I'm told it looks remarkably faithful to the source material.
Thu Tran (not to be confused with the late Power Rangers actress Thuy Trang) hosts what I'm pretty sure is the best cooking show ever created. This clip is just a snippet of what's available on her website. Just bear with the sub-par audio mixing and you'll have a spot-on Yoko Ono parody, a whole bunch of puppets, and some yummy-looking deviled eggs to look forward to. Also, Satan. Hope you enjoy, friends and lovers. Egg-bye!
The first of a series of Heroes webisodes entitled Going Postal has gone live, starring a mailman with sonic powers and a sort of over-the-top snakey guy. I'm not quite so crazy about Heroes in the wake of the lackluster second season, but these super-short low-budget webisodes may have a certain appeal.
A Batman fan with some impressive editing skills put together this trailer for a fictional film about four different Batmans fighting each other for...some reason. I actually totally want to see this now.
You might not remember Showbiz Pizza Place; if you ever went to one as a kid, there's a good chance that it's either no longer there, or it's been converted into a Chuck E. Cheese's. If you wanted to go to a real Showbiz Pizza these days, you'd have to travel to an exotic locale such as Kuwait, which I do not necessarily recommend.
The incredible animatronic band that helped put Showbiz on the map, however, is still alive and kicking, to some extent. The creators of The Rock-afire Explosion are still choreographing songs for the robots to perform, and releasing videos on Youtube. So if you ever wanted to see that cheerleader mouse perform Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," today is your lucky day.
What's more, a documentary is being produced telling the choreographers' story, and chronicling the creation of history's most influential singing robots who aren't Daft Punk.
A trailer has been released for Disaster Movie, the next film from the creators of Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans.
Yeah. I know. Just brace yourself. We'll get through this together.
Actually, I'll admit I sort of stifled a giggle when Juno's baby pulled a Zohan and kicked the Sarah Jessica Parker impersonator in the face. Good God, is there something wrong with me?
It's true, the _____ Movie franchise has quite a bit going for it, such as some of my favorite Mad TV cast members and a formidable box office presence. So it would be nice if the movies were...um...good. Which they aren't.
Okay, this isn't exactly new, but it's new to me, and maybe it'll be new to you. I caught the tail end of this as we pushed play on an old episode of Bad Girls we DVR'd off Logo ages ago, and it made me laugh so hard I had to look her up online. Her name is Wendy Ho, and she's a little bit awesome. From her official bio:
Wendy Ho was raised in a trailer court, and overindulged with too many episodes of 227 and Good Times! However, this Nubian princess hasn't always been black. After moving to NYC from Kansas City, she spent years on the streets of Harlem hustlin, hoin, and flowin. Ho started writing songs about her experiences as a white trash gurl gone ghetto ho in Harlem USA.
The artist is Wendy Ho, and the tune I present to you is her classic "Bitch, I Stole Yo Purse." Clearly NSFW lyrics, so wear headphones if you're the cautious type! Ring a ling a ling! Ring a ling a ling!
As you've probably heard, counterculture comedian George Carlin sadly died yesterday. Here he gives what could very well be his own eulogy (NSFW language, of course).
Take an educational children's film from early eighties England, add a fresh dose of absurdity, and you've got the first season of Look Around You. The BAFTA-nominated shorts started broadcast in 2005, but you might not guess so right away from the deadpan eighties camp factor.
You can find the entire first series on Youtube if you look hard enough. Topics range from sulfur to ghosts.
