As much as someone getting hit in the groin in real life is instant, automatic comedic gold, I’ve long maintained that having someone get hit in the nuts during a movie trailer is all the proof you need that that movie is going to suck those same balls.  It’s sort of like when a band has an album, and the first single has both the same name as the album and is the first song, you know that’s the only good song on that album (I call it the “Are You Gonna Go My Way” effect).  Anyway, our video editor, Oliver, has put together a compilation of movies with groin trauma in the trailer and their resulting RottenTomatoes ratings (we know those are far from scientific, but they’re still fun).  Here are some of the movies that went into the compilation, all of them released in the last 10 years:

The Rocker – 40%
Soul Men – 45%
Sorcerer’s Apprentice – 42%
Employee of the Month – 20%
Cop Out – 19%
The Love Guru – 15%
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo – 10%
The Bounty Hunter – 8%
Cheaper by the Dozen 2 – 7%
The New Guy – 7%
Big Momman’s House 2 – 6%
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector – 5%
Corky Romano – 5%
My Baby’s Daddy – 4%
Daddy Day Camp – 1%

^{Irony?  Mike Myers saying to JT, “I loved My Dick in a Box,”}

After the jump, you can see the full list of winners of the Razzie Awards for the worst achievements in film.  They’re pretty cute until you realize that (presumably) someone actually sat through all these pieces of shit.  Come on, not even Seltzer-Friedberg watch Seltzer-Friedberg movies.

Mike Myers’ critically acclaimed smash hit The Love Guru recently released a couple outtakes to promote the DVD, which comes out week.  In this one, Justin Timberlake and Mike Myers are… uh… well, I actually don’t know what the hell they’re doing.  Just watch the clip.  This looks so hilarious, I really don’t know what I was thinking when I chose not to see it.

In this recent interview with MTV (who I’m sure wouldn’t be covering him just because he’s hosting the MTV movie awards…), Mike Myers heaps praise on co-star Justin Timberlake like a veteran Hollywood sycophant.

Justin Timberlake is the single most talented human being I’ve ever met in my life.
He has 0% body fat, he’s musically gifted
He’s got a great ear for accents
He’s hilarious
He is 99% ham, 1% water
He is a natural entertainer
He learned the French Canadian accent in like five seconds.
He’s a good goalie now, he hadn’t played before. [Though he was an experience catcher - tee hee! -Ed.]
He’s gracious to his fans.
He wears the underpants in this relationship.

But it wasn’t all wine and roses on the Love Guru set, as Myers added that JT’s beard sometimes tickled his neck, his balls always smelled like fabric softener, and he was small enough to overpower, even for someone who’s been out all night drinking.  "That’s convenient, but not as sexy as I’d like," he said.

In the lead up to the release of The Love Guru a series of mini videos featuring Mike Myers as "Pitka" has hit the web.

They’re called “Mini-Sutras”, and I’m not sure what the point of them is.  I think maybe if you can watch more than 90 seconds of this you get a prize.
