Woot always has pretty good shirts for its daily sales, but I saw this one this week that really stood out. It combines two of my favorite films that you would think have no business crossing one another, Memento and Finding Nemo.

But Dory’s memory problems echo Leonard’s plight, and this is a fantastic image. I think it works more as a comedic single panel than an actual shirt I’d wear places, but that’s just me. Unfortunately since these are daily deals, you can’t buy it any more, but check out other stuff from the designer here.

Well this is a first. I’ve had people repost my content in all kinds of ways, but taking a picture gallery I drew and making it a video? That’s never been done before.

That’s cool though, as they did give me proper credit. It’s just rather funny to see. Watch the video if you’re a new Unreality reader and missed the post the first time, or just read the actual thing here if you have to keep pausing in order to read the words in time.

This really was one of my favorites. I’d love to do a sequel if there are any more out there to be found. Suggestions in the comments if you can think of any!

Hi Taylor, it’s me, Paul. I’ve been your number one fan ever since I first saw you glare menacingly and run your hand through your hair as Tim Riggins in Friday Night Lights. Well, that’s not true. There are probably about 200,000 teenage girls who like you more than me, but I appreciate you as much as a dude can acceptably appreciate another dude.

That’s why we need to talk. I have been excited, as I’m sure you have been, to see you become a full-fledged movie star. It’s hard to make it out of TV, and even harder to start headlining movies that have hundreds of millions of dollars behind them.

But seriously Taylor, even if the allure of being the leading man in a film is irresistible, you have to start picking your projects better. Continue Reading »

Being an actor is a dangerous job, and rather than risk their own life and limb on set, they have people to do that for them. Stunt people are probably the most underappreciated folks in movies, as they get little glory despite taking enormous risks for our amusement.

I do not know who assembled this gallery originally, but these pictures were sent to me and it’s a really neat selection. It’s a collection of celebrities and their stunt doubles, and many are as trippy as the one you see above.

For every Zoe Bell who gets their moment to shine in a film, there are countless more whose faces are never seen. Check them out below. Continue Reading »

We all know Tyrion Lannister (and by extension, Peter Dinklage) is a bit of a darling here at Unreality. The dude’s sheer awesomeness has led me to devour any and all film and television projects of his that I can get my little nerd-girl hands on. I’m not going to lie, his piercing blue eyes also provided much of the forward momentum.

Unabashed crush aside, Peter Dinklage really does have an uber impressive body of work. I saw The Station Agent back in college when it was released (*adjusts hipster glasses*), and it really is as good as everyone says. He was also one of the better parts of the quickly sinking ship that was season 4 of Nip/Tuck. And since I hear tell there are some sci-fi fans around these parts, be sure to check out Threshold. (Brent Spiner and Peter as snarky scientists! How was this show not a hit? What’s that? The somewhat poorly developed plot and less-than-stellar writing? Alright, then.) I’ve also had the singular pleasure of experiencing the horrific abomination that is Tiptoes: the official selection of the 2004 Sundance Film Festival which was introduced by the director explaining he had been fired before final editing, and thus had no idea what the audience was about to see.

My cinematic travels ultimately led me to discover that Peter Dinklage had made four movies with Steve Buscemi, who is also awesome, and is also in possession of blue eyes. COINCIDENCE?! Probably. A light trolling of the internets revealed that the two actors highly respect one another, and Buscemi was an early advocate for casting Dinklage in various projects he produced, directed, or was otherwise involved with. Peter reveals in a Vanity Fair interview that he and Steve are “not really” drinking buddies. I like to think he’s lying. Without further ado, here are the four Dinkscemi vehicles, all of which I recommend as underrated gems: Continue Reading »

If I had to pick one movie that contained a character that I could safely say was one of the meanest yet move loveable people all at the same time I’d pick As Good as It Gets.    The degree to how insensitive Melvin Udall (played by Jack Nicholson) is cannot be measured.

He has a complete distaste for virtually every human being which is amplified by his horrible case of O.C.D.   And yet in the most dire situations he shows his humanity and compassion for those in need and for those he truly knows are good people.  However, it doesn’t come without a price and it surely doesn’t come without him spitting out some of the funniest, yet mean lines to ever be uttered on film.

Hope you enjoy this “best lines” clip from the film.

Between Ali G, Borat and Bruno, most of the world knows not to fall for Sacha Baron Cohen’s tricks anymore. As no one would probably believe a delusional dictator was wandering around the streets of Manhattan, so Cohen decided to go full-on fiction for his latest venture.

The Dictator is certainly a Sacha Baron Cohen movie, as he balances outrageous crudity and humor in a way that many cannot in comedies these days. But what’s missing is that spark from his other films, that wink at the camera as he allows the unsuspecting idiots he fools to be the jokes he needs on camera. When he’s forced to do everything himself, it’s not quite as effective.

The Dictator tells the story of a fictional despot, General Aladeen, from a fictional country, Wadiya who is more or less out of his mind. Out of the real world rulers out there, he’s probably a hybrid of Gaddafi (both men have an entourage of beautiful virgin bodyguards around them at all times) and the late Kim Jong Il (echoed when Aladeen hosts his own Olympics and sets every world record).

I’ve lost track of how many behind the scenes of Star Wars galleries we’ve seen and posted over the years, but I do know that there have to have been more set pictures taken there than on any other film in history.

But still, somehow, I end up seeing new ones. The collection before you today takes what’s probably the darkest film, The Empire Strikes Back, and shows the lighter side of filming. Nearly every photo is of the cast goofing off in some form or another, and it’s just a great geeky gallery to behold.

Check out the full collection below (via DailyMail) and you can click on any of the pictures to make them bigger. Continue Reading »

I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about this movie and I think I can understand why.   In case you haven’t heard of it,  It’s Kind of a Funny Story is about a clinically depressed teenager who gets a new start after he checks himself into an adult psychiatric ward.   While that one line sentence doesn’t do the movie justice, the premise holds true and how this teenager gets well is of significance.

There are two points of view as to why I think the movie sits well with some and not so well with others.   For depressed and anxious people like myself, the movie is awesome because I think it really hits home how bad depression can be.  It’s something one cannot control and it sucks.   For “normal” people, I can see why this movie is annoying.   “What the hell is up with some 16 year old who has a good life wanting to kill himself?”

Anyway, there’s more than that.   The film is kind of an Indy flick with great music.   Solid performances by Zack Galifianakis, Kier Gilchrist and Emma Roberts.   I don’t want to get into the meat of the film because that would ruin it.   I’m just here to say that I’m on the side for the film, and not against it.

Check out the trailer after the jump…..

Here’s a wicked looking piece of concept art from Retrovenus Miravis which imagines what Iron Man might have looked like if Tony Stark was a master of genetics rather than electrical and mechanical engineering.

The result? It’s pretty damn cool if I do say so myself. I’m not sure how I feel about the “nightmare eye” (Soul Calibur reference), but the rest of him is on point. Can we please get a full Avengers horror collection going? Serial Killer Thor, Traitorous Captain America, Hulk…well, Hulk can stay pretty similar I guess. Just make him red.
