Look Who Came Out For the Pineapple Express Screening

I know what you're thinking, Chubby Jones has seen more facelifts and changes than most trannies need to go through - but let's not dwell on that - let's talk about some of the folks who came out to support the new Judd Apatow film, Pineapple Express

How is it possible that Rosie Perez hasn't aged at all? She looks like someone I might hire to babysit my kids (if I did have kids).

On the other side of things, I don't think I would let Macaulay or Kieran Culkin near my kids. They look like they've been riding the pineapple express for a few days straight.

M. Night Shyamalan's New Movie

(via /film)

Perhaps this man was fooled by the defacing of M. Night Shyamalan's movie poster. It seems like maybe he was on his way to audition.

Synecdoche, New York

Eventhough Adaptation was painful for me to sit through (it may be my hate/hate relationship with Nicolas Cage's face), Charlie Kaufman will always be one of my all-time favorite screenwriters. Being John Malkovich will forever make think of the time Cameron Diaz dared to be ugly and the state of New Jersey was relentlessly made fun of. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will keep me company every time I cling on to the memory of something long gone.

Kaufman has a new movie in the works - Synecdoche, New York, and it will be his first time directing.

As with all of his films (even Adaptation), I'm sure that this one will reveal heartbreaking truths to go along with comedic genius and confusing circumstances.

Pacino, De Niro, Hall?

Oh shiz, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are starring in the upcoming movie, Righteous Kill, but who cares about that when Anthony Michael Hall will be in the movie with them!! Damn! I've been missing him ever since he played Bill Gates and the mean boyfriend in Edward Scissorhands! Nice to finally see him getting some screen time playing a rapist! Added bonus: Curtis "Fiddy Cent" Jackson will be in this too. I smell an oscar.

Mister Lonely, You Had Me at Hello

Harmony Korine films aren't for everyone, but they are for me. Don't judge. I remember the first time I ever saw KIDS (written by Korine); I was horrified and enamored all at the same time. It was my introduction to Chloë Sevigny, Rosario Dawson and serious adult content (eventhough there was nudity in Revenge of the Nerds it hardly classifies as adult content). While the subject matter was disgusting I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I even ended up buying the VHS and watching it repeatedly through college.

Then there was Gummo. More Chloë, cat-killing protagonists who eat spaghetti while bathing in a dirt-filled bathtub, seemingly homeless children running around half-naked in a bunny costume...what's not to love?

Harmony has a new film out called Mister Lonely and it stars Diego Luna, known for his role in Y tu mamá también. Luna plays a Michael Jackson impersonator who befriends a Marilyn Monroe impersonator. She takes him to live in a world in which everyone is "famous". It seems slightly more glamorous than Branson, Missouri if you can imagine that.

Can't. Wait.

In Honor of Purim

Purim is one of the best Jewish holidays out there. It's like Halloween, but without the really good candy and with less costumes to choose from. Some of the best costumes (which really weren't all that kosher) included:

The Jew Kids on the Block
Teenage Mutant Ninjew Turtles
and Sammy Davis Jr. - just because.

So, in honor of this fantastic holiday, here is a movie trailer spoof of one of our favorite films from this year, dressed up with some Jewish flair.

If You're Ugly We've Got a Job For You!

Wanted: Have you got that certain inbred-chic that is all the rage these days? Self-depricating people willing to whore out their ugliness to the world are wanted for the silver screen. If you're deformed, albino, have been mistaken for a dog or if you came thiiiiis close to starring in Harmony Korine's Gummo have we got the role for you!

Julianne Moore (and possibly hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who is in talks with production) gets to star as the gorgeous heroine running away from your cringe-inducing, Deliverance-esque physique in the upcoming horror flick, Shelter. The casting call says they are looking for

a 9-12-year-old Caucasian girl with an other-worldly look to her. Could be an albino or something along those lines -- she's someone who is visually different and therefore has a closer contact to the gods and to magic. 'Regular-looking' children should not attend this open call.

What - they couldn't get the girl from The Hottie and the Nottie?

Yearning for the Breakin' Years

Somehow we missed the first Step Up (we were probably too busy watching Save the Last Dance or Stomp the Yard) but right now we wished we lived closer to Mandi Bierly so that we'd both have someone else to see Step Up 2 with.

To bow our heads even lower in shame, we kind of also want to see How She Move

Don't judge us.
