So apparently WGBH in Boston holds a televised high school quiz show, hosted by radio personality Billy Costa. During Brookline High School’s match-up against Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School, which airs tomorrow, host Costa asks the Brookline team their favorite movie. It’s a question they must have been prepped on beforehand, because they all chose different Nic Cage films. Are we being ironic in loving the novelty value of Nic Cage movies? (*sigh*) I don’t even know anymore. Anyway, between the Nic Cage love, the trivia, and the plaid shirt theme, I think it’s safe to say that me and these dudes could hang. Today they are all honorary FilmDrunkards.

Probably my favorite answer was the second guy, Jonathan, who looks and sounds not unlike a young Quentin Tarantino, describing his choice of Face/Off.

“Nic Cage, he’s just really in his element. He switches faces.”

That should be the DVR and Netflix review for Face/Off, from now until forever.

Filmdrunkard Sicksauce just sent me this picture of an American Psycho billboard.  He didn’t say where it came from, but TV2 doesn’t sound American, so it’s probably from England or Australia or one of those other countries where they get to have cool billboards.   Meanwhile, we get ones that say things like “A BARE-KNUCKLED BUCKET OF DOES.“  Good one, guys.  Did no one point out that buckets don’t have knuckles?  Or that maybe you shouldn’t compare your smart phone to a bucket?  You know what people put in buckets?  Sh*t. Horse food.  But it was totally worth it for the way it almost alliterates.

Oh, and here are some Kermit Bales because I’m always looking for an excuse to post them.

Hugh Jackman recently went on the Spanish television show El Hormiguero, which, according to my junior high experience with Spanish, translates roughly as “The hormi white person.”  The Wolverine actor proceeded to stand between a jockey and a guy wearing a bulging, skintight bodysuit with a cape, in an apparent attempt to look more butch by comparison.  An attempt which was a resounding success.  Touché, Jackman, touché.

But then, before the image had a chance to register, he starred in this Got Milk ad sporting a wifebeater and cum on his upper lip.   Why must my love life be so confusing!

_{Look, George, there’s a kitty over there. Did you see the kitty, George? Wanna go pet the kitty later, George?}

Even after three gnü movies, an animated movie, and countless other crap that I don’t care enough about to look up, George Lucas is still milking Star Wars‘ old, curdled teat.  Latest project?  A live-action Star Wars TV series.

“According to Lucas, the show will focus on minor characters from the saga and be set in the time period between “Revenge of the Sith” (Episode III) and the original “Star Wars” (Episode IV). The action will follow the Rebel Alliance as it slowly gains strength against the Empire. There will be Stormtroopers, but no Jedi or Darth Vader will appear on screen. As he did with the “Clone Wars” series, Lucas will write and shoot an entire year’s worth of episodes before looking for a cable channel on which to air the series.” [MTV]

After retarded Jamaican alien Jar-Jar Binks and his gay Jabba the Hutt based on Truman Capote characters, who knows what delicious surprises Lucas has in store for us this time! Ooh, I know!  How ’bout Han Solo has a Puerto Rican niece, based on Rosie Perez?  Mira, Chuy, ju deeden’t feex the pinche hyperdrive right, stupeed. Lujana Soto, we could call her.

I know this isn’t movie-related, but blow me, movie news is slow this time of year.  Anyway, this is a clip from Rock of Love Charm School, in which Sharon Osbourne teaches retarded whores to read or something.  The fight starts at 1:15, fast forward if you know what’s good for you.  Now, there are few people in this world I’d rather throat punch than Sharon’s co-host, human grease trap Riki Rachtman, but everyone in the clip makes a solid case for the apocalypse.

The fight starts when Sharon tells Megan The Worthless Skank that she shouldn’t be allowed to breed. Though she’s right, the obvious response would probably be, “Wait, aren’t all your kids in rehab?” but Megan instead says something about Ozzy that get’s bleeped.  Then Sharon pours coffee on Megan and they start fighting, which you can tell because they cut away then back to the camera that was right next to the action a second ago but is now inexplicably 10 feet away and all shaky.  I guess my point in all this is that if you want to put on trash TV, how about just hot chicks in bikinis cutting down the rainforests with chainsaws?  The saw would probably make their boobs jiggle and then you could put rap metal in the background and that would still make me want to stab random strangers less than this.
