On my way to the movies today, I pulled out of my driveway to find this waiting for me! Being the dedicated nerd I am, I risked damaging Mach 5 (er, my Saturn), to snap a pic for everyone to enjoy.
When I got to the theater, I was confronted by an Indy standee with two astonishing sights: The first was Oversized Harrison Ford Head (is it me, or does it look like he’s cracking a smile for the camera?). And the second was Tiny, Headless Harrison Ford. I know what you’re thinking…
Indy’s head is not in my pocket. I swear. The Indy Marketing Blitz Has Begun!
So I guess the Star Wars Saga is coming to Spike TV. In celebration, they’ve created some semi-amusing posters with those kinda lame “jokes for guys” that one would expect from Spike TV. Chewie? The original wingman? Just seems like a T-shirt you would find at Hot Topic. My personal favorite is the Vader poster, but I also like the unique approach to the bus stop poster.
Yes folks, there’s your live action Snake Eyes, an exact replica of everyone’s favorite silent assassin. Keep in mind that’s Darth Maul himself, Ray Park, underneath the sleek ninja duds, so expect some epic battles with Stormshadow!
I wonder if Ray Park is ever upset that all his characters are either silent or have their lines overdubbed. (with the exception of X-Men, even though I wouldn’t have been against a silent Toad.)
The final Indiana Jones poster has been unleashed today. It looks exactly like this:

It fits perfectly into the canon of posters from the original movies, a canon I’ve created for you below. The only difference is that Ol’ Indy looks a bit puffier than previous installments.
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.
You may remember Steve Guttenberg from your fondest memories of the 80′s. You know him as the smart-ass cop Mahoney in the Police Academy movies. Or maybe as the smart-ass/youngest person in Cocoon, or as the smart-ass-with-a-robot in Short Circuit, or the smart-ass dad in Three Men And a Baby. The guy was everywhere in the 80′s, starring in 6 movies that grossed over $100 million bucks. Sadly, for lovers of charming smart-asses, Guttenberg’s deal with the devil only ran to 1990, possibly after Beelzebub saw Three Men And a Little Lady. But those of you starving for your GuttenFix are about to be fed a spoonful of Steve every week! Why?? Because Steve Guttenberg will be on the newest season of “Dancing With The Stars.” And you can bet this will do for him what it did to the careers of Mario Lopez, Ian Ziering, and Drew Lachey. Er, let’s hope it at least leads to more commercials like this one:
Guttenberg can even charm the pants off imposing military lesbians!
In an attempt to wink at her foreboding doom, The new issue of New York Magazine has Lindsay Lohan recreating the final photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe six weeks prior to OD’ing. This is a faithful re-enactment, a few steps beyond your normal Maxim shoot.
The very definitely NSFW link to the photos is HERE. You know, if you care.

Betcha didn’t expect that news when you woke up this morning!!! Rumors were running rampant Monday about the possibility of the new “Clone Wars” cartoon making a THEATRICAL debut, and, starwars.com has confirmed it…6 months from now, in a theater close, close by, we will be lining up for another Star Wars movie!
Now, I should state some qualifiers. First, the movie is taken from the first four episodes of the new Clone Wars cartoon, which will be premiere on Cartoon Network before moving to TNT. Instead of simply putting it on television, they’re confident it will hold up as a true movie experience. Second, the story, as the title indicates, is based on The Clone Wars, taking place between Episodes II and III. That means Anakin hasn’t yet slaughtered children, Dooku still has a good head on his shoulders, and Bail Organa is still wearing turtlenecks. If you’re looking for story progression between Episodes III and IV, you’ll have to wait for the live action TV series to debut next year (who else is thinking that’s another chance to see Star Wars in theaters??).
Lucasfilm Animation has already produced 30 episodes of “The Clone Wars,” meaning we’ll be able to go straight from the movies to our living rooms, and not have to wait three years for a follow-up. I’m unapologetic in my love of Star Wars, prequels included, and am fired up about this news. It should bring out the kid in you to know that we’ll be seeing more Star Wars on the big screen. I love the world Lucas created with Episode III, and will gladly watch 30 more adventures! And for the prequel haters, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know it’s not directed by Lucas. Also, stop being so damn negative! We’ve got a new Star Wars movie coming out!!
starwars.com also released their first in a series of web documentaries about Clone Wars today. It’s got a ton of footage and info about the series. Nerds click HERE!
Woody Allen is a genius. He must be in order to convince Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz to engage in what I will confidently proclaim as the greatest moment in cinematic history. Page Six of the NY Post reports that Scarlett and Penelope share a ‘steamy lesbian sex scene,’ which was no doubt stolen straight from my dreams. According to a source, people will be ‘shocked’ and ‘blown away’ by the scene. According to the images in my head, these two should be in jail.
Apparently, they also have a threesome with Javier Bardem from “No Country For Old Men.” I officially hate him.
