Phew, I had to post this quick before 20 more people emailed it to me. Anyway, apparently 50 Cent caught the video of Sexman (FilmDrunk’s official movie reviewer) calling him a media whore from a few months back, and instead of shooting him a bunch of times like he normally would, he flew him out to New York to make this internet video. It’s… about as awkward as you might imagine. I’m happy for Sexman getting to meet the famous people he talks about on the Internet. That never happens to me. The closest brush with fame I’ve had since I started this site was the time they shot an episode of Law and Order in my aparment. That’s right, my apartment played PEDOPHILE’S APARTMENT on Law and Order, and I swear to God that’s true and not just me trying to make a cute joke, though now I sort of wish it was.
A few days ago, Michael Bay made news (and by “made news”, I mean some fat guys in their underpants wrote about it on the internet) when he dissed those “other” giant robot movies out there, saying Transformers was the only real giant robot movie, y’all. Many people interpreted that as a slam on Mayor McCheese and his Terminator movie. Today, McCheese fires back:
“It bothers me to tell you the truth. Ultimately, our large robots have nothing to do with the “Transformers” robots. I say with respect, giant robots have been the theme of film for a real long time. So we want to do everything we can to create separation. Our film’s about T-800s and the Marcus character and the Connor character, and this, that, and the other. So, to have people have a problem with that wouldn’t be working for us so we want to make sure there’s separation.” [Comcast Movie Blog]
God you suck at dissing. You “say with respect”? You have to say it without respect, dumbass, that’s what diss means: disrespect. And when your publicist gives you a card that says “Our movie is different than Transformers because of this, that, and the other“, it’s not meant to be read word for word, you’re supposed to fill in actual attributes. When asked for specific comment on McG, Michael Bay said, “McG? I’ll tell you what I think of McG,” then set off a smoke bomb and commando rolled out of the Starbuck’s.
The Dutch love hookers and pot, and Muslim fundamentalists hate fun, so the two are natural enemies. Yesterday Al-Qaeda issued a fatwa calling for the execution of Dutch filmmaker Geert Wilder, who is producing "an anti-Koran short."
Wilders expects to finish the 15-minute "Fitna" by the beginning of March, and will talk to broadcasters about airing it. None are yet on board.
But he insists "Fitna" (Arabic for discord) will be available on the website of his political party in the Netherlands and a dedicated site.
Already, the Cairo Intl. Film Festival for Children [which I imagine is a fucking blast - Ed.] announced it was dropping Dutch entry "Where Is Winky’s Horse?" in protest at Wilders’ film.
According to Dutch press agency ANP, fest director Fawzi Fahmi said the decision was a protest against everyone who intentionally and persistently insults and degrades monotheistic religion. [Variety]
I’m sorry, I know this is a serious issue and all, but everything and everyone in this story has a silly name. No matter how hard I try, all I can do is imagine growing a mustache like the guy in the banner pic, yelling ‘FAWZI FAHMI!" in surprise with my bow tie spinning around like a propeller, and then running in circles on the floor like Curly from Three Stooges.
In a recent interview with Premiere, John "Bringin’ Tha" Hurt, discussed his role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and had some choice words:
If I was asked what I would choose to do, it [the Indiana Jones movie] would be lightweight for me, at least for that sort of time commitment.
Oh snap! "It would be lightweight for me" is British actor speak for "Your whore of a mother really peels the scabs and lets the pus flow, bitch."
And my boy wasn’t finished, neither. He had some smack to lay down on George Lucas first.
George is a bit socially crippled really. Not good with people. So I just left him alone.
BOOSH! Who would’ve thought a guy that dresses like an aging lesbian version of Alf and thought Jar-Jar Binks was a good idea wouldn’t relate well to others? Certainly not me! I say we settle this with a walk off.
