While the mainstream media focuses on the typically asinine and vomit-inducing aspects of the Arizona killer, unanswerable questions like whether “violent rhetoric” contributed to him being a batsh*t retard (does it matter? you can’t declare war on hyperbole), we here at FilmDrunk turn our attention to more important things, like the movies and music he was into.  Not to blame them, mind you, but to ridicule them for being sucky.  Sorry, it’s how we grieve. 

Sadly, details are a bit sparse when it comes to Jared Loughner’s DVD collection:

Loughner’s favorites included little-known conspiracy theory documentaries such as ‘Zeitgeist’ and ‘Loose Change’ as well as bigger studio productions with cult followings and themes of brainwashing, science fiction and altered states of consciousness, including ‘Donnie Darko’ and ‘A Scanner Darkly’.  [DailyMail]

Donnie Darko is interesting, because although it’s a decent movie (the Swayze character was brilliant), stupid people have a way of attaching some grand meaning to it, as if the giant bunny rabbit is hiding the meaning of life.  It might be the most-common DVD in the dipsh*t’s movie collection, second only to Boondock Saints.

But let’s face it, I wouldn’t be sharing this story if a writer over at Yahoo hadn’t started quoting Drowning Pool lyrics.  OOOH WHA-AH AH– ah crap, that was a Disturbed song, wasn’t it.

In particular, a pounding metal song used as the soundtrack for the lone video Loughner marked as a favorite on YouTube — one in which an American flag is burned by a hooded man — contains lyrics that reference bodies hitting a floor. The video for the song itself — a 2001 release from the band Drowning Pool titled “Bodies” — features one of the band’s members screaming instructions to what appears to be a mental patient housed in an insane asylum.

John Cena has a new movie coming out, and in a shocking turn of events, it’s being made by Fox.  Oh I know, I was as surprised as you are.  This time he plays a cop, which is a real stretch from his last role as a marine in… uh, The Marine.  In the last movie, terrorists kidnapped his wife and he had to get her back.  This time around, he accidentally kills someone else‘s wife, and as payback, the guy then kidnaps his wife and uses her to forces him into some Saw-like predicaments.  Oh, and did I mention the director is Renny F-ing Harlin (Die Hard 2, Deep Blue Sea, etc?

Jesus, can you imagine the pitch meeting?   “…Okay, okay, so it’s like The Marine… meets wrestling… vs. Saw …multiplied by Deep Blue Sea!”  Much cocaine was consumed, friends, I guarantee it.  And then?  Gun fingaz.

Watchmen, probably the most eagerly anticipated film since The Dark Knight, opens March 6th barring any delays from the Fox-Warner lawsuit.

Director Zack Snyder and stars Malin Akerman, Carla Gugino, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were on hand last night to present a new extended trailer (starts at 1:20) at the Scream Awards. The Scream Awards, of course, is a new event put on by Spike TV, the network that thinks you’re a moron. Real boobs! Fake boobs! Which chicks can take a better punch? Find out next, on Manswers! Aaaannd coming up: Can you light farts… in SPACE? Which TapouT guy has the sickest makeup? How do I get these shit stains out of my underwear?

Tune in next week, on Manswers! The show that asks the questions Mongoloids would be embarrassed to!

This is the new poster for Transporter 3. I’ve got the full-sized version after the jump, but my favorite part is the detail here. Guns, sluts, car porn – if they could’ve squeezed a cage fight in there somehow SpikeTV would be obsolete.
