| Did The Situation Make a Racist Joke at Donald Trump's Comedy Central Roast? Posted: 12 Mar 2011 11:18 AM PST
Snoop and I evidently have something in common, because I wasn’t amused either. However, the Times article also says:
I’m assuming MacFarlane’s joke was that The Situation was Mario, the character from the original Donkey Kong video game (as in, Mario and Luigi). Which was most likely a slam at The Situation being Italian. If Sitch’s “joke” is going to get cut from the eventual Comedy Central broadcast, then they should cut MacFarlane’s too.

| The Strange Case Of Elektra Luxx: Or How Sebastian Gutierrez Lucked Into Dating Carla Gugino Posted: 12 Mar 2011 08:30 AM PST
It’s always fun to discover terrible films that well known actors starred in before their careers took off. But when lots of popular faces show up in a new terrible movie, it's just confusing. And that's definitely the case with Elektra Luxx, Robert Guttierez' new film about a former porn star who finds out she's pregnant and then has a really weird day. Carla Gugino plays Elektra and also happens to be Guitterez' girlfriend in real life. That makes this film one of the best cases of dating nepotism in awhile. Consider this fact: Sebastian Gutierrez has a one line IMDB profile. And it says that Carla Gugino is his girlfriend. For serious. Sebastian owes her a big one after this movie. Carla does a great job with Elektra,and there’s not much for her to work with. In fact, there is a randomly scheduled cabaret scene and a bath scene with the Virgin Mary. But Carla gamely sashays around in a blonde wig and makes any men and (some women) fall in love with her in the process. But she’s randomly surrounded by weird characters who appear and disappear at Guttierez’ whim in vignettes that are at best tangentially related. In addition to cabaret scenes, there are lesbian kisses. And flashbacks to morality tales from past generations! Also, horrible dialogue! And a sex blogger with a bad accent who lives in his mom’s basement. (OK, that one might be realistic.) If it weren't for Carla’s presence in most frames, you might just think this was a student project gone awry. Well, except for the fact that there are so many other recognizable faces who fare much worse with the material. Just when you've adjusted to Joseph Gordon Levitt’s terrible accent, and Adrianne Palicki from Friday Night Lights hacking her way through her role as a dumb blonde, or the inexplicable presence of Emmanuelle Chriqui from Entourage or Malin Akerman playing a checkout girl, Julianne Moore shows up as the Virgin Mary. Praise Annette Bening. This movie is a mystery. And it's a sequel! And there's a third one in the works! Gutierrez’ movies are inevitably compared to Pedro Almodavor’s. They feature hot women getting themselves into wonky situations while wearing bright colors. But in the same way that Penelope Cruz loses some of her sex appeal in English films, Elektra Luxx is very much lost in translation. Amazingly, the trailer makes it look like there’s some kind of clear plotline: Do not be fooled! The movie does less to skewer porn films than it does to mimic them (minus the nudity and sex).

| The 'Super 8' Trailer Will Eat You Alive Posted: 12 Mar 2011 07:45 AM PST The first full trailer for the hotly anticipated J. J. Abrams project Super 8 has been released, and I’ve got to say, it’s looking pretty exciting! Ever since Lost, Abrams has become increasingly preoccupied with the strange and unusual, with the resulting projects (especially Cloverfield and Fringe) pushing the envelope a little more each time. It’s unclear whether Super 8 is a monster flick or an alien flick–perhaps it’s a little of both– but whatever it is, it’s shaping up to look fascinating indeed. Take a look here: The first Super 8 teaser hit the public with the release of Iron Man 2 last summer, though I recall first starting to hear about Super 8 roughly around the same time that Cloverfield came out (my memory may be faulty, though, so apologies if I’m wrong). Early buzz predicted that Super 8 was in fact going to be a prequel or sequel to Cloverfield, a prediction that most likely originated from the fact that Super 8 originally looked like a “found footage” film, a la Cloverfield. This was a reasonable assumption, given that the film’s title essentially translates to Found Footage; and though there turned out to be no connection between the two, the fact that Super 8’s teaser itself used the “this is a true story” angle probably helped fan the flames a little. We learned that in 1979, the US Air Force closed a section of Area 51, and that all materials were transported to a secure facility in Ohio (Why Ohio? No idea. Maybe simply because it seems so arbitrary). Then a truck hit a train and all hell broke loose, as is wont to happen, but that’s all we had to go on. A second trailer debuted during the Super Bowl, and this time, we started to get a little more of the actual story: a bunch of kids making a home movie witness the train crash and inadvertently documented the creature that will presumably be the movie’s monster rising from the wreckage. Okay, then: not quite a found footage film, but a film ABOUT found footage nonetheless. And now we’ve got a full trailer, which pretty much takes what we learned from the Super Bowl trailer and expands on it. Buzzfeed describes the film as looking like “The Goonies meets Cloverfield“, and yeah, this looks to be pretty accurate. As a child of the ’80s, I am generationally required to harbor a deep love of The Goonies; however, I sincerely hope that by including Cloverfield in the mix, we’re just talking about the good bits of it and not all of the really, really bad bits of it. Am I alone in my disappointment of Cloverfield? The marketing for it was so very awesome,* but the film ultimately just became a bunch of overly pretty people doing extremely stupid things in the face of disaster. I was less interested in the people and much more interested in the monster itself– what it was, where it came from, yadda yadda yadda, and the fact that a lot of this information was withheld actually made it even MORE intriguing. This is the element I hope Super 8 will maintain: at the end of the day, what we can dream up in our imaginations with a little nudging to set us on the right track is almost always a zillion times more terrifying than anything a filmmaker can show us onscreen. However the film does ultimately come out, though, I will say this: the anticipation is half the fun, and Super 8 is rocking that part of it like whoa. Good on ya, Abrams and team. I’m on the edge of my seat already. Bring it! *MINI SPOILER: My favorite viral detail involved one of the character’s MySpace page. Before the release of the film, his height was listed as 6′1″. During the film, he got ripped in half; and ever since the film’s release date, his height has been listed as 2′6″. Post from: Crushable The 'Super 8' Trailer Will Eat You Alive |

Over the last few days, several reports have surfaced that Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino got booed when he went onstage at Comedy Central’s roast of Donald Trump. Most people, myself included, assumed it had to do with The Situation just not being very funny. However, the L.A. Times reports that Sitch
