In this deleted scene from the Bruno movie, recently leaked to promote the DVD release on November 17th, baseball great Pete Rose is subjected to the same here-sit-on-my-Mexican stunt that Bruno used on Paula Abdul. To his credit, Rose doesn’t squirm or complain, he just settles in and starts talkin’ baseball. At one point the crew tries to rattle Rose when his chair starts acting uncomfortable. But Rose is unflappable.
“He don’t seem to understand that this is very uncomfortable for this guy. So get another guy here, because this guy’s uncomfortable.”
And then they swap Mexicans. See? The first step toward a post racial society is to treat every minority as an individual. Just because one Mexican isn’t good at being a chair, that’s no reason to assume that a different Mexican wouldn’t be better. Well done, Pete Rose, it seems this is not your first time sitting on a Mexican. Ahh, good times. It’s like my junior high experience in reverse.

When I heard Diora Baird was playing an Orion Slave Girl in Star Trek, I was rightly tumescent, because Diora Baird’s breasts are made from the laughter of children and that mixture of maple syrup and melted butter that dribbles down the side of your pancakes. Then the movie came out and deflated my wiener with the one-two punch of the lack of beautiful Baird breasts and Zachary Quinto’s intrusive eyebrows. Today, we can finally see the Diora Baird scene that didn’t make the movie. And it’s… an even bigger disappointment than her not being in the movie, somehow. Dear JJ Abrams: you hired Diora Baird for your movie and you kept her fully clothed? You’re worse than Stalin. You’re like Hitler, if Hitler had promised the Jews ice cream before he gassed them, and then kicked a puppy. Yours in undying hatred, Vince.
I also like how the scene involves Kirk apologizing to an Orion Slave Girl for using her. Dude, she’s a slave girl. It’s in the title. You don’t have to treat them like Dilythian Equality Womyn.

This is a just-released deleted scene from Star Trek. I loved the movie, but this highlights the one aspect I hated — shaky-cam, quick-cut action sequences that give you no sense of the spatial awareness of a scene, just the cliff’s notes cause and effect. Anyway, I’ll let /Film describe the context because that’s easiest for me.
JJ Abrams shot a sequence for the Star Trek reboot featuring a few members of the infamous alien race, the Klingons. The scene featured Nero [Eric Bana] chained to a table being interrogated by the masked, ruffle-headed creatures with Centurion slugs who are looking to find out information on the future. The sequence basically explained what Nero was up to in the missing years. This is one of the deleted scenes in the prison break sequence that has found its way online to promote the upcoming DVD release.
Wait, so this was supposed to be the scene that finally gives us Klingons and now that it’s here they’re wearing a mask the whole time? That’s like paying for sex and then finding out you have to wear a condom. Relax bitch I told you I was clean.
Wouldn’t you know it, Nic Cage finally does a movie that’s not about magic and treasure (Werner Herzog’s amazing-looking Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans) and what happens? The studio basically dumps it straight to DVD.
The studio has announced that Herzog’s film, “Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans” will be released to home video on February 23, 2010. With a limited theatrical release already penciled in for November 20th, we can’t remember the last time a studio announced the home video release of a film almost a month before it’s due to hit cinema screens. With this news, we’re going to guess that the theatrical release will probably be strictly a NY/LA only affair. We don’t see First Look striking up too many prints to send around the country if it’s going to be on Blockbuster shelves and in Netflix queues three months later. [ThePlaylist]
Jesus Christ what a bonehead move. This is a film that has singing iguanas, Nic Cage demanding his lucky crack pipe, and a director who started a film school with no classes on filmmaking, only lockpicking. If you’re in the marketing department and you can’t get people interested in that, you should just go back to being a club promoter. And anyone who’d rather see Vince Vaughn and His Girlfriend Fight During Holiday Dinner Part 7 than this should be zipped in a burlap sack, stuffed in a cannon, and fired at the sun. And kicked in the nuts.
When you buy bootleg DVDs in foreign countries (or in New York, for that matter), you never really know what you’re going to get. Especially when it comes to things like subtitles, synopses, and DVD jacket copy. Bootleggers pretty much grab whatever they have access to, and when they don’t speak English… well, this happens. It’s from the back of a Year One DVD that a friend of mine who’s stationed in Iraq recently bought. Here’s the text:
Jack Black and Michael Cera playing themselves, yeah, where was that even considered funny? Now I absolutely adore these actors, Michael was a great choice in Superbad and Juno and Jack Black has proved he can do great comedy like Tropic Thunder and a good dramatic role like King Kong, even a more calm character like he played in The Holiday. But the main problem? They have no chemistry! You have this wild outgoing maniac who is eating poop(eeeew!) and the calm awkward overly shy nerd who pees on himself(eeew!) and what do you have? Every elementary school joke that could be put into a movie, Year One could have been written by a five year old and proves that top list actors will do anything for those millions that they make.
That’s right, the copy they used to sell a movie not only came from an IMDB user review, but an extremely negative one that rated it a 1 out of 10. It was written by “kristinedrama14″, who I’m guessing is in high school. And they left out some of the best parts of the review. The last sentence:
