And now, some stories I didn’t feel like devoting an entire post to:

FIRST PICTURES of Dakota Fanning (with red eyes! ZOMGFART!) in Twilight Saga: New Moon.  She plays Jane, a member of the Volturi coven of vampires, who enforce vampire laws.  Law 1: Bros before hoes.  Law 2: No Fat Chicks.  Law 3: If this van’s a-rockin’… [Cinematical]

TRAILER FOR AGORA – Alejandro Amenábar’s sluts n’ sandals epic starring Rachel Weisz as Hypatia, a prominent Atheist who tries to resist the tide of fanaticism, Islam, and itchy toilet paper.  Okay, maybe not that last one, but seriously, what did they use to wipe their butts back then?  These are the things I wonder. [CHUD]

NEW RED-BAND CLIP from World’s Greatest Dad, starring Robin Williams, written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.  I kind of wish I hadn’t watched it because it’s just a compilation of really good lines, and I don’t want it to ruin the movie for me, which I plan to see and review (it’s currently on On Demand and playing in LA, SF, and NY) some time this week.  I plan to see a Robin Williams/Bobcat Goldthwait movie, you ask?  Yes.  It looks good.  People can be known for more than one thing in their life, you know.  I don’t know how many times I’ve said that to the judge and my neighbors.

This is the latest trailer for World’s Greatest Dad, written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and starring Robin Williams.  It made the festival rounds to pretty good reviews earlier this year and will get a theatrical release beginning August 21st. If you don’t want to wait that long, it’ll also be available on On Demand starting this week.

When his son dies in the throes of autoerotic asphyxiation, dad (Williams) makes it look like a suicide and proceeds to use it to launch his own writing career. [Cinematical]

Robin Williams is at his best when he isn’t overtly trying to be funny, and in light of David Carradine’s death, the autoerotic asphyxiation plot seems practically choked from the headlines.  I mean, most directors would STRANGLE themselves for a STROKE of luck like that.  Anyway, I hope to see this and get a review up some time in the next couple weeks, if I’m not too busy choking myself while I masturbate.

World’s Greatest Dad was written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait and stars Robin Williams, so you’re probably not going to believe me when I say this, but it looks awesome.  The (red-band) trailer begins with a girl reading a haiku about her period, continues with scheisse porn references, and without giving too much away, the plot supposedly involves an auto-erotic asphyxiation accident. I’d been hoping I’d get to re-use that tag.  Now, I know there are people out there who will try to tell you clean comedy is somehow more impressive or better than that which deals with sex or bodily functions, but I’m here to tell you that those people eat farts and have ambiguous genitals.

(I’m including a couple more copies of the same trailer below, in case the YouTube version gets taken down).
