Variety repoted this morning that Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow are working together on Apatow’s next movie. Not only that, but Seth Rogen and Leslie Mann (Apatow’s wife) are also on board! So what’s the movie about? No one knows. Variety says they’re keeping it under wraps, so I guess we’ll have to wait to find out what the hell an Apatow-directed Sandler movie will look like. Side dish to this story, Apatow was a writer on Sandler’s new movie “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan,” which looks awkward and offensive. Like, “Chuck and Larry” offensive. As a director though, his record is clean, and I’m excited to see where this is headed. Especially when Rogen is added as the cherry on top. Sounds like a tasty nerd sundae.

Okay, so I know I did a Tim and Eric (Cartoon Network) comedy post a few weeks ago, but I can’t help but post this one too. My favorite part is at :30 seconds. It’s a weird video, but a word of warning: you may be find this song popping in your head at random times throughout the day.

It’s an odd week for movies. Prehistoric CG beasts, G-Rated College Comedies, and Chev Chelios grabbing cash! It must be Sticky Floor Friday!

10,000 B.C., College Road Trip, The Bank Job

We’re still a year out from the release of “The Watchmen,” but that hasn’t stopped The Official Website from posting the first official pics of what they will look like. I have graciously put together a nice little comparison of the film versions and the original comic iterations. Looks pretty damn good, even though Rorschach is pretty much shrouded in darkness. Still curious to see what Dr. Manhattan looks like (he’s the naked smurf-lookin dude.) Click on the above link to see the gigantic, original first look pics of The Watchmen, or just click right HERE, you lazy bastard!

**UPDATE**
Oddly enough, /Film posted an eerily similar pic of The Watchmen hours after I created and posted mine. I find it strange that this is the only picture on their site with the /Film tag on it. Are they afraid someone will claim they lifted the idea from somewhere else? I’m sure that’s not the case. Right? Besides, mine’s better anyway.

Okay, I just got back from the Foo Fighters concert at The Forum. I plan on giving a longer review (complete with camera phone pictures. Ooh!) later on, but I will leave you with this one teaser: Stewart FUCKING Copeland on drums!

I just found this strange article on AOL.com about everyone’s favorite Dirty Dancer: Patrick Swayze. Apparently, the National Enquirer is claiming that The Swayz has pancreatic cancer and has five weeks to live. At this point, no one has confirmed or denied the story, including Swayze’s reps. Normally I wouldn’t pay attention to gossip, but we’re talking about Dalton from Roadhouse! Hopefully someone will come out and deny this thing soon, so we can all get back to appreciating the Swayze Factor.

**UPDATE**
Okay, well Reuters is now reporting this story, so here are the facts. Swayze does indeed have pancreatic cancer, but is responding well to treatment, according to his publicist. They also disputed the claims that he has weeks to live, saying they are “absolutely untrue.” Let’s hope things turn out well for him. Nobody puts Swayze in a corner!

You know, my dad kinda looks like Chris Berman. But I’ve never heard my dad talk like this! This has a few swear words in it.

A couple strong movies coming out this week!

Into The Wild

This is my pick for the week. Into The Wild is directed by Sean Penn and follows the true, fateful journey of a rich kid who gave up all his money and hitchhiked to Alaska to go, well, Into The Wild. This movie is long (over 2 hours), but it’s definitely a journey worth taking. It’s also got a great soundtrack by Eddie Vedder, who was completely robbed at the Oscars. Enchanted gets nominationed for three different songs and you’re telling me there’s no room for EdVed? (I’m sure all his friends call him that.)

VERDICT: RENT IT!

My Kid Could Paint That

I love documentaries like this. My Kid Could Paint That is a doc about a four year old girl who paints pictures that people compare to Picasso and pay thousands of dollars to obtain. It’s the ultimate debate of “What’s Art?” If a 4 year old scribbles some crap on a canvas and it looks vaguely interesting, is that as artistic as a grown-up’s work, where actual thought was put into it? There’s also the question of whether this is a scam or if the girl is truly talented. Pretty fascinating stuff. Check it out!

VERDICT: RENT IT!

Awake

This movie was in theaters just 4 months ago, and now it’s on DVD. That’s not a good sign. Awake is about a patient (Anakin Skywalker) undergoing surgery, but finding himself completely aware of his surroundings during the procedure. Turns out, the doctors are shady and just want him to die. Oh, and Jessica Alba’s thrown in there. By the way, why is she naked on the DVD cover? That looks like it was stolen from some Maxim photo shoot. Awake completely bombed at the box office, taking in only $14 million. Reviews were very poor (22% on Rotten Tomatoes), except for Roger Ebert, whose stars-per-review average rises with his age. He gave it three stars and thought it was an effective thriller. I just can’t get too excited about it. These movies is the reason HBO exists.

VERDICT: WAIT FOR HBO!

We’re going to be seeing a lot of the Oscar nominated movies coming out in the next few weeks, so you’d better get these rentals out of the way now!

There’s a BBC radio documentary claiming Mick Jagger was the target of a murder plot by the Hells Angels back in 1969. During the Altamont concert, The Grateful Dead (reportedly) suggested using the Hells Angels as security. I don’t know what’s worse, that the Dead came up with this idea, or that people actually listened to them. During that concert, a fan was killed by security. What a surprise.

The report goes on to say that the Hells Angels plotted to kill Jagger at his holiday home in Long Island. Unfortunately, they traded in their wheels for oars and decided to attack by sea. A storm hit the boat and threw them overboard, ruining their leather jackets. It was at this point they decided to go home.

This is an amazing story, but I have a hard time believing an outlaw motorcycle gang plotting to kill a huge rock star would ditch their bikes for a boat. That’s like pirates renting a helicopter to plunder a cruise ship.

By the way, if any Hells Angels are reading this, please don’t kill me.
