<p>Yup, pretty much when John Turturro&#8217;s character looks up at Devastator and says over the radio, &#8220;I&#8217;m looking at the enemy&#8217;s scrotum&#8221; and the giant robot has two wrecking balls for a scrotum it&#8217;s the definitively crappy moment in a 2.5 hour pooh fest of twisted metal, loud explosions and inane plotlines.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true!  Everything you heard about this movie from the very upset critics is spot on, so I won&#8217;t rehash it here for you.  However, if you haven&#8217;t seen the movie yet then watch the above clip and call yourself good.  You can read about the making of the clip <a href="http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/index.php?option=com_idoblog&amp;task=viewpost&amp;id=1106&amp;Itemid=54">here</a>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll thank me for saving you the $10, which you can then go buy yourself a couple of beers or a bottle of wine with.  (big thanks to Scott who&#8217;s been absolutely killing it with the clips lately.</p>

<p>I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m in a silly mood or if this is the most retardedly funny thing I&#8217;ve seen in the last few days.  I&#8217;ve resisted posting on the Keyboard Cat because, well, it&#8217;s Keyboard Cat and you can find him posted just about everywhere else.  But there was something about Helen Hunt doing PCP and jumping out a window and then Keyboard Cat jamming with Hall and Oates that just won me over.<br />
Damn you keyboard cat.</p>
<p>Unrelatedly, is it impossible to properly rate Hall &amp; Oates in music history?  They went from popular to scorned to ironically popular again to people actually remember they were pretty good for a blue-eyed soul band from the 80&#8217;s.

<p>Compelling animal leads?  Check.  Baby animal trying to make his way in the world?  Check.  Overcoming great odds?  Check.  Help from unexpected places?  Check.  A satisfying conclusion that will definitely break out the applause/hankies?  Check.</p>

<p>Mike Winklemann’s gorgeous CGI short “Subprime” follows the development of simplified housing solutions in America over time.  While it&#8217;s easy to be entranced by the music and animation, the content itself doesn&#8217;t really offer anything for than a progression of housing &#8211; it would have been nice to see the creators do something more than tack a &#8220;for sale&#8221; sign on to the final house as if trying to making a larger point about the housing crisis.</p>
<p>Still, at what point is too much?  Most people live in houses that are more than enough, too much, for their needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mumblecore is a type of movie which tries to make boring, mundane things seem inherently interesting because it&#8217;s being done by twentysomethings with large vocabs and accompanied with a sweet indie-folk soundtrack.  Think Wes Anderson, if Wes Anderson had no budget or personality or wasn&#8217;t talented.</p>
<p>Some of these low budget flick are actually pretty good, but most of them just come off as masturbatory.  It&#8217;s the logical extension from people watching Richard Linklater&#8217;s early work like <em>Slacker </em>or <em>Before Sunrise </em>and thinking hey I can do that.  Except they can&#8217;t.  But they still do.  Hence mumblecore.</p>
<p>Jake Szymanski’s “The Dirty Garage” may not have the couches rolling down the street of <a href="http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/03/billy-was-a-deaf-kid" target="_blank">Billy Was a Deaf Kid</a>, or the retarded cats of <a href="http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/03/charley-the-retarded-cat-the-movie" target="_blank">Charley the Retarded Cat</a> (still the gold standard of hipster movie parody videos), but it may be the most accurate parody of the three.</p>

<p>My first thought was this has to be fake, but even if it is, a sort of giddy euphoria washes over your soul after a little bit and it&#8217;s pretty hard to resist The Baaa-Studs.  It is an advertisement for Samsung&#8217;s LED televisions, but if you&#8217;re going to make an advertisement, this is how you make one to ensure people are talking about it.</p>

<p>Also: Patrick Duffy <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/pdd330" target="_blank">has his own YouTube channel</a>, hopefully he produces more of these shorts with him and the crab because this is gold.  I could go for one a month, but would prefer one a week.</p>

<p><a href="http://slyoyster.com/cheap-thrills/2008/nailed-it/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p>While this hasn&#8217;t been done since 1972, when Nixon was President for crying out loud, Drew Carey is amazing apathetic about it.  If Bobby Barker had been there he probably would have had a heart attack.  </p>
<p>Let me say it again: A man guessed his Showcase Showdown dollar amount EXACTLY right. Yes — on the nose.  And it wasn&#8217;t like the amount was a round figure, it was $23,743.  Unfortch, for the other lady who came within $495, a good guess on any other day.  </p>
<p>I think <a href="http://leitch.tumblr.com/">Will Leitch said it best</a>, when he compared this to <strong>Slumdog Millionaire</strong> (which also points out the fantastical plot elements of the movie).  </p>
<blockquote><p>I’m just going to assume that this segment had already been filmed, and this was a reshoot. What happened in that initial segment?</p>
<p>I’m guessing that Drew Carey, after Terry’s bid was dead-on, called in his secret squad of game-show ethics enforcers, who proceeded to torture Terry into explaining how he cheated. But little did they know! It turns out that Terry grew up in the ghettos of East Hartford, overcoming Dickensian child kidnappers, a vicious drug cartel and his complicated relationship with the older brother who was once his protector. During his whirlwind life, he actually had completely random — but whimsical! — lessons on the price of a Winnebago, a whirlpool spa and the matching dinette set. It was because of his amazing life that he was able to nail down exactly $23,743.</p>
<p>Shame nobody told him there’s no phone call at the end of The Price Is Right. He never did get to call his lifelong paramour, and she was shot in the back of the head and left for dead in a Burbank gutter. He does get to keep the dinette set.</p></blockquote>

<p>I have yet to see Summit Entertainment&#8217;s <strong>Twilight. </strong>Not because I&#8217;m against seeing it or because I think it looks stupid, well okay, it sorta looks stupid.  I&#8217;ll probably catch it on DVD.  Anyway, since it dropped into theaters with the fullforce of a hurricane, <a href="http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/hardwicke-fired-from-twilight-franchise/" target="_blank">the director has been ceremoniously fired</a> and <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1601194/story.jhtml" target="_blank">possibly replaced by</a> Chris Weitz (<em>American Pie, Golden Compass, About a Boy). </em></p>
<p>The Puppet Saga isn&#8217;t nearly as good as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFO66fH_P6U" target="_blank">Puppet Dracula</a> from <em>Forgetting Sarah Marshall</em>, but it gave me a good laugh nonetheless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Funny or Die can be pretty hit or miss, but mostly when Judd Apatow or Will Ferrell is involved the videos are excellent.  It&#8217;s when those guys aren&#8217;t involved with a video that the quality and repostability of them are susceptible.</p>
<p>Still, I got a good laugh out of this mashup between <strong>Shawshank Redemption </strong>and movies from the 80&#8217;s. The music is &#8220;Push It To The Limit&#8221; by Paul Engemann from the <em>Scarface </em>soundtrack.  Montage! In all fairness though, this type of spoof slightly loses resonance because of the montage scene in <em>Team America. </em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I find these superhero toy parodies of the PC/Mac commercials fairly odd yet engrossing. It started as a Marvel vs. DC Comics thing.  It&#8217;s a tiny internet meme, but one who&#8217;s appeal seems tapped into a very dry geeky humor.  We&#8217;re talkin&#8217; champagne dry here.  </p>
<p>So Hellboy&#8217;s been added to the mix, except he&#8217;s with Dark Horse Comics (Milwaukie, OR!).  It would have been nice if they made a Hancock toy and he could have shown up all drunk and then it would have featured every superhero from this summer, excluding Wall-E of course.  Maybe the creators of this could work on that.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The LA Times has a follow up on the success of Joss Whedon&#8217;s <strong>Dr. Horrible&#8217;s Sing-Along Blog. </strong>We got to watch it early yesterday morning and found it rather charming. Anyway, lots of people ended up wanting to watch it and Whedon didn&#8217;t have <a href="http://twitter.com/drhorrible/statuses/859124072" target="_blank">enough bandwidth to cover the amount of traffic</a> the short generated. Hopefully, before part two they address those issues.  The things that have hit on the Internet have almost all had that quality, <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/webscout/2008/07/joss-whedons-dr.html?loc=interstitialskip" target="_blank">Whedon wrote to me.</a> From &#8216;Star Wars&#8217; kid, to &#8216;The Landlord,&#8217; to 1,500 prisoners doing &#8216;Thriller.&#8217; Not just the I-made-it-myself aesthetic, but the truly, transcendently goofy. The absurd (which is important to me, as an Absurdist) is part of the Internets identity. And Dr. Horrible is absurdly goofy and def. worth your time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I loved this mockumentary, created for <a href="http://www.atom.com/spotlights/starwars/challenge/" target="_blank">Atom&#8217;s Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge.</a> The premise is kinda goofy and it gets off to a rather slow start, but the concept is humorous enough to keep watching.  Also, it sorta pokes fun at Star Wars obsessives but pays equally as much homage to them as well.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span>Former swordplay trainer to the stars and Star Wars fanatic Jeremy Flynn recently opened &#8220;Jedi Gym&#8221;, a fitness center in Torrance, CA where members channel characters from the Star Wars film series to work out, meditate, and improve their lives. . . Flynn is frustrated with his students&#8217; lack of commitment and focus, but when a 7-foot man in an incredibly authentic Darth Vader suit arrives at the gym, Flynn thinks he&#8217;s found his dream student.  Instead, Flynn and his students learn, first hand, about how powerful the Dark Side can be&#8230;&#8221;</span></p>

<p>I&#8217;m still laughing over the last line about Michael Jordan and Abe Lincoln.  </p>
