Why couldn't this be Wicker Man?
Opening Everywhere: Mirror Mirror, Wrath of the Titans, Goon
Opening Somewhere: Bully
FilmDrunk Suggests: You’re probably going to see The Hunger Games for the first time or again, but people are going crazy over Bully if you want to go watch a documentary and feel like a dick for always picking on the fat quiet kid in your math class. What’s he doing now? Probably blogging.
It’s been a busy week in Busey news (see: Gary Busey plays a pro-wrestling vampire, Gary Busey gets into a fist fight over what kind of couches they have in heaven), so I thought this week, in lieu of a Friday Free For All video, I’d present to you instead an out-of-context word from Gary Busey. Sort of like a Moment of Zen on the old Daily Show.
Here it is, your out-of-context word with Gary Busey:
This has been: Your out-of-context word from Gary Busey.
By the way, have I ever told you want “panda” means, Butthorn? PANDA: Plush Asexual Nougaty Dream Animal, PANDA. Speaking of the Beatles, you wanna buy a suitcase full of panda meat? (*smoke bomb, jumps through plate-glass window*)

Great news, people of India! BOOBS!
When Titanic first released here in 1997, India’s Censor Board ordered cuts in the famous painting scene where Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) sketches Kate Winslet (Rose DeWitt Bukater) wearing just an emerald necklace.
The upcoming April 5 3D re-release of the James Cameron-directed film has now been passed without any cuts – according to the film’s India distributors Fox Star Studios – receiving a clear U/A (or Parental Guidance) censor rating similar to the MPAA’s PG-13 rating. [THR]
To recap: When the film first came out, India’s Censor Board demanded that the scene featuring a two-dimensional topless Kate Winslet be cut from the film because it was unacceptably titillating, but now, fifteen years later, they have determined that the 3D version — where her breasts will almost literally be JUMPING OUT OF THE SCREEN AND INTO THE VIEWERS’ PERSONAL SPACE — is A-OK. This is what we here at Film Drunk like to refer to as progress.
In a heartwarming story of cooperation and racial understanding, Spike Lee, the man who single-handedly proved that chunky eye glasses do not make you smart, has reached “an undisclosed settlement” ($KEET $KEET $KEET!) with the Florida couple whose address he accidentally retweeted while trying to incite mob violence against the guy who shot Trayvon Martin. Time heals all wounds. Oh, and also lots of money.
The couple’s attorney, Matt Morgan, announced the settlement Thursday. Morgan says Lee called them to apologize for retweeting their address. Specifics of the settlement weren’t disclosed.
“He was really kind,” Elaine McClain said. “And when he called us, you could just tell he really felt bad about it. And it was just a slip, and I just know that he really, really has been concerned.” [EntertainmentWeekly]
Phew, well I’m glad this case is behind us now.
How much money did he pay them? I’d say about four “really”s worth.

Years ago, I made it my life’s mission to one day find Ted Nugent and punch him right in his stupid goddamned soul patch. (Failing that, I would also accept punching Gene Simmons or anyone in the Will Smith family). My arch-nemesis, the Don Imus of post-classic rock fartcore, was in the news again today, when someone from USA Today bravely decided to endure a conversation with him. The subject? Archery, specifically the form displayed by Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games. Wait, Ted Nugent likes to bow hunt? MY GOSH I HADN’T HEARD.
Nugent, a member of the Bowhunters Hall of Fame, loves how realistically Lawrence carries herself as bow-wielding Katniss Everdeen in the movie. Apparently Lawrence hit the bullseye with the performance.
“All of us archers and bowhunters are so very happy to see real honest-to-God archery form being displayed properly for a change,” Nugent tells USA TODAY. “Proper archery is one of life’s most beautiful ballets, especially when executed by a beautiful woman like Jennifer.”
He adds, “It makes for the ultimate eye-candy.”
Lawrence trained extensively with 4-time Olympian Khatuna Lorig prior to filming. “I had no choice but to be good,” she said. “I was working with an Olympian.” [USA Today]
DON’T YOU DARE GET YOUR CHEESY BUTTROCK STINK ON MY CATNIPS FEATHERBEEF, YOU SMELLY PROTO-CHAD KROGER! I swear to God, if the government allows the Scott Stapp of the seventies anywhere near my beloved Jennifer Lawrence I will move to Canada and start planning a coup. Good luck stopping it with your ancient Indian weapons, you slimy dicklicker. And speaking of The Hunger Games, if we somehow got Ted Nugent, Cam Gigandet, Danny Masterson, and Evan Stone together on a government-sponsored murder island, I think everyone wins.
