This is the trailer for Israeli filmmaker Tatia Rosenthal’s $9.99, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and opened in Los Angeles earlier this month.  It looks like your basic indie search-for-the-meaning-of-life film — oh, except the entire thing is shot in insanely realistic-looking claymation.  Looks pretty f’n trippy.  Although not casting Mickey Rourke seems like an almost criminal oversight.

^{…with their MONEY! And their BIG NOSES!}

After the jump, I’ve got your daily update about what the Satanic Jews of Hollywood (great name for a band, btw) are up to from Louis Farrakhan.  Apparently they’ve been busy: putting out American Gangster, taking over BET, giving shows to the Kings of Comedy, drinking the blood of infants, etc.

“But you gonna take Denzell… One of our BRIGHTEST stars… That you gave an OSCAR to… NOT FOR THE MOVIE MALCOLM X [Editor's Note: You mean that guy you helped kill?]… Not for the movie THE BONE COLLECTOR… Yoooooooouuuuuu gave him an Oscar for playing a corRUPted black policeman.  …You didn’t give Halle Berry an Oscar for her many wonderful roles… [Editor’s Note: ...such as?] But you gave her an Oscar for her nasty little role with a white man.”

See, everything sounds profound if you just shout three words and then pause for ten seconds.  THIS MORNING! ….I awoke  …FROM A SLUMBER!  …I was hungOVER!  …and I had …an enormous BOWEL MOVEMENT!  He’s basically Christopher Walken with a conspiracy complex and a busted volume control.  And officially the last person in the country who remembers The Bone Collector.

This is an Italian ad for Alfa Romeo, whose spokesman is apparently an anthropomorphic sloth.  Although he’s not shanking your mom with a pterodactyl dick bone or hiring a dog to burn down a hospital as I’ve heard sloths are wont to do, there’s something inherently awesome about him.  Is it the necktie?  I think it’s the necktie.  Animals in neckties = always awesome (except for penguins – cuz they’re already wearing tuxedos, lol ;-P).

I know how eagerly we’ve all been awaiting a Street Fighter movie, especially since they hired the director of Cradle 2 the Grave and Doom, plus a dancer from the Black Eye Peas to play Vega.  Wire fighting?  Chris Klein? I couldn’t not see this!  Anyway, here’s the newly released Japanese trailer for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.  You can tell it’s serious because of the opera-singing in the background.  Opera is pretty much the rap-rock of classical music genres.  OOOH WHA AA AA-AA!

State of Play is a political thriller starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, and Rachel McAdams, based on a BBC miniseries about a journalist (Crowe) investigating the murder of a congressmen’s (Affleck) mistress.  Sounds, uh… thrilling.  Adapting British shows is a great idea. I mean, they have such amazing TV over there.  I can’t wait for the next one, about an older comedian hilariously dressed in drag who gets yelled at by Gordon Ramsey.  Can his be-wigged lawyer save the day?  Only time will tell!  *cue 10 minutes of canned laughter*
