We’ve brought you some pretty cool celebrity audition tapes in the past.  It’s always fun watching actors trying to nail a role or a part on a show back when they were virtual unknowns.  You can see how far they’ve come, and often, it seems as though they were born for the role for which they’re auditioning.  For me, the most appealing thing about an old audition tape is seeing how vulnerable an established actor was back when his or her career was on the line.

After the jump, enjoy 10 more great celebrity audition tapes.

You’ll get the hang of it buddy! I was like you, but now I’m a Twitter ninja! Except no, I did not get 47,000 108,000 followers within 24 hours of making my account. And he’s actually just joking about the 140 character limit, and the rest of his tweets are pretty worthwhile. I feel like Twitter needs to be incorporated into the next Dr. Horrible now.

And I will of course use this opportunity to shameless suggest that you follow Unreality on Twitter here where you can listen to me explain the latest updates on my suicidal Xbox saga and talk about how awesome The Prisoner was.

And to answer your question, yes Commando, Alien and Rambo ALL came out before Contra did, so the box art team clearly had a bit of plagiarism going on there. Schwarzenegger could be a goddamn tracing! Good thing they added that headband, or else they might have actually had to have paid royalties!

Anyway, all the movies are awesome and the game is awesome, so I won’t hold it against anyone.

I’ve probably seen as much as you have when it comes to James Cameron’s upcoming film, Avatar, which is to say, a couple of previews.  A lot of people - either through conversations or comments left on a website - have indicated that they weren’t blown away.  I can understand that, being that most people watched a preview for what is supposed to be an IMAX 3-D movie on their laptops.  However, I recently heard a co-worker echo the sentiment that has boggled my mind - namely, that he is convinced Avatar is going to suck.  I respectfully submit, my friends, that this is impossible.

I’d love to come out here and tell you that 2012 is a disaster film with a heart. That amidst the destruction and devastation, Roland Emmerich has finally realized his lifelong dream to recreate James Cameron’s disaster opus, Titanic. He’s tried destroying the earth with aliens (Independence Day), monsters (Godzilla) and global warming (The Day After Tomorrow), so why not ancient misinterpreted Mayan prophecies?

The theory behind the doomsday scenario of 2012 was created by Mayans when they said that a planetary alignment on December 21, 2012 would cause…something to happen, and the world would end. That brilliant scientific analysis has been studied for centuries, and what we have in the film is the typical amount of pseudoscience you’d expect from a movie like this.

The planetary alignment causes the sun to flare up, which heats up the earth’s core, which melts the crust, and shifts all the tectonic plates around, causing earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tidal waves worldwide.

ALL EIGHT STORIES. GOOD LORD.

No, I am totally not posting this just so you can forward it’s adorableness to all your Star Wars-loving family and friends. Totally not.

In any case, I think that if Luke and Leia looked this similar in the movie, they probably would have thought twice before making out.
