This trailer hit like a week ago, and somehow I missed it. It’s called Zombie Strippers, and the name is pretty self-explanatory. My favorite line?
"What seems to be the problem, Doctor?"
"Believe it or not: Zombies."
Possible tagline: "They’re already dead – on the inside." Still, I’m a little sad to see that Jenna Jameson has sunk to Carmen Electra’s level. [Editor's Note: That's a burn.]
IESB today has this and more video interviews with the cast of Never Back Down - a movie that hopes to be The Fast and the Furious of MMA (trailer here). I was most interested in their talk with the star, Sean Faris. His character, as you’ll remember from the film’s original synopsis, "is a a tough kid who leads with his fists, and, often, with his heart."
I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the talk-about-your-character-as-if-he’s-a-real-person portion of the interview, but sadly, mostly they just discuss the mma training.
"I’m trying to stick with it. I better – once this movie comes out, God knows how many people are gonna wanna fight me."
Yeah, probably anyone who pays for a ticket. But he trained mma for eight weeks, he should be able to handle a couple teenagers from Arizona. [Editor's Note - that's a burn]
Okay people, you tell me – is this more like The Fast and the Furious of MMA (which was the Point Break of car racing to begin with), or more like The OC of MMA?
JFX online has these latest pictures from G.I. Joe, the upcoming movie adaptation from director Stephen “I Deserve to be Homeless” Sommers. At left, Channing Tatum channels Ford Fairlane as Duke. Above right, Sienna "Shittsburgh" Miller tries to forget what movie she’s in as Baronness. And if everyone’s getting an aristocrat name, I think Sommers should be Count Suckula, or Earl Turdpeddler.
I liked Sienna Miller better in whatever movie this was.
Oh snap! Sly’s getting totally busted on in Myanmar:
YANGON, Myanmar – Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo character looks like a fat lunatic in his new movie, a Myanmar magazine said this week. …An article in The Voice, a Myanmar-language magazine, decried Rambo’s bloodletting and said he "looks funny fighting a war even though he’s so fat with sagging breasts."

Of course, response to the movie differed slightly in news outlets not controlled by the military junta.
"We need many Rambos in Myanmar," said a 75-year-old retired civil servant after watching it. "Everyone likes to live in the world of fantasy at least for a short period. Even in a movie, we are happy to see the American mercenary enter Myanmar to smash up the brutal army," a 22-year-old university student said.
In response to the popularity of the banned Rambo DVDs, the junta has sped up the release of its government-sponsored animated feature, in which Bonky the Friendly Octopus protects the gentle emperor from an army of dangerous pacifists with his batons of truth. And taking his cue from the Myanmar government, a recent commercial for U.S. Senator Barack Obama accused fellow presidential candidate Hillary Clinton of having "a big hairy bucket cunt."
