As much as I love Gerard Butler, this movie definitely needs a dose of The Fett. I would also go as there’s probably now at least a 70% chance that Jennifer Aniston either gets frozen in carbonite or fed to a Sarlacc, both of which are situations I would pay $10 to see.

Side note, has anyone ever notice how weird Boba Fett’s cargo pants are? Who has pockets there? Sure from the waist up he’s got wicked Mandalorian armor, but the whole denim baggy pocket thing really isn’t working down below there.

Can a person simply standing there, looking at you, be the most terrifying thing in the world? According to this video? Yes.

A Chinese girl tried to emulate a million different Japanese horror movies by standing in a random place staring at people as they came into a building. The results are way, way more hilarious than you’d expect.

The girl literally does nothing at all but stand there, yet each person who comes in is progressively more terrified than the last, and she eventually scares people so much they fall over. And the last guy? Just…wow. Watch.

I love the way she laughs after each person passes. I bet those Japanese ghosts in the movies probably did the same thing after no one was looking.

There’s something eerily prophetic about the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Last Action Hero, as since the time of Arnold, Sly, and to an extent, Bruce, a true, masculine, action hero has yet to emerge in the world of film.  Action movies have changed significantly since the 1980s and early 1990s, especially with the advent of computer generated imagery as a substitute for great stunts, but these movies still call for a charismatic leading male who is both convincing as a bad ass and as someone you want to root for.  A few actors had potential to be the next big action star, but their failure coupled with this current crop of mundane leading males has me convinced that it’s going to be a long time before we see a true action star again.

When I was younger a very common practice I would engage in would be the repeating of awesome lines from a movie I had just seen.  In fact I still do this.  Most of us moviegoers do this.

However, before the advent of Youtube and clip editing from home all you really had was just that one line to repeat yourself.   Nowadays one liners and catch phrases are edited and made into beautiful concoctions of clips and melodies that we can be entertained by.

OK maybe some of them aren’t so beautiful but they are definitely entertaining.  Here are 5 that caught my eye.  Warning NSFW Language.

Some of you might remember in a galaxy far far away that select episodes from all Star Trek series were released in box sets organized around certain themes or characters, such as Q, the Borg, Time Travel, and Klingons.  I hope that most of you enjoyed these wonderful collections of weirdness.

But alas, perhaps these boxsets were on to something.  Perhaps there’s room for many more themes and characters to dedicate these boxsets to.  And from the looks of it, many fans have spoken.

The folks at Something Awful asked it’s base of photoshop freaks to come up with some alternative ideas for these boxsets and I’ve gathered the best 15 I could find.

Enjoy

So earlier today, Natty posted a rather excellent gallery of celebrities and their wax figures. I was pretty surprised to not see the Twilight kids there yet, so I’m posting this picture in case the wax sculptors are waiting for some inspiration.

When designing Taylor Lautner, you would think the abs are the most important part, but you’d be wrong. Rather, you need to really capture his alpaca-esque essence to really make it a realistic depiction of the actor. The short nose, the furrowed brow, it’s all right there, just waiting to be turned into wax!

Also, in researching this post, I found out that alpacas and llamas are totally different. Who knew?

Alright look, don’t yell at me, I’m not being sexist. A few weeks ago, I wrote this post, about the strangest looking actors in Hollywood, and now I’m doing a follow-up with actresses . I’m fair and balanced just like Fox News.

In any case, these are a collection of actress I just find “strange” looking.  Now, that’s not to say that many of them aren’t hot, as most actresses are to some degree, but there’s just something about them that’s almost…unreal, if you’ll pardon the reference. I think you’ll see what I mean as you look through the gallery.

As always, this list probably isn’t definitive, so feel free to shout out any you think I’ve missed.

Alright, alright you caught me. Yesterday, a new poster for Predators was released, but it turned out to be fan made. But then I was informed it kind of looked like another memorable poster from last year, so I decided to muster up my photoshop skills and make it so.

I would totally watch a movie about a Predator going around killing people to get his daughter back, wouldn’t you?

What? Oh, you actually wanted some info about Predators since I keep teasing it then posting nothing? Fine, here’s some legit new footage from the film from SXSW. Actually looks pretty badass:

I wasn’t too familiar with Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki, knowing him only as a Japanese animator whose works are just now starting to see appreciation in the West.  I decided to rent Ponyo, his most recent film, mostly for the reason that Ponyo features no computer generated imagery, instead animated in the traditional 2-D style that Disney had made so popular.  With Ponyo, I learned that Miyazaki is rightfully acclaimed as a filmmaker and animator and, perhaps more significantly, the 2-D style of animation is far from dead.  Keep reading for the full review; minor spoilers ahead.

There are certain celebrities where you can say they totally look like other celebrities (see this site for a the best comparisons in that regard), but Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry just flat out prove that either A) Cloning exists and the cloners have very good taste in test subjects or B) They’re a set of identical twins whose fabulous genetics propelled BOTH of them to super stardom despite being separated at birth.

Or you know, it’s C) like the poster suggests, God and the Universe are just awesome.  But I really want to go with A). Give me another Megan Fox, but genetically engineer out her bitchiness!
