| Is 2012 the Year of the Fairy Tale Movie? Posted: 21 Jul 2011 10:25 AM PDT  art (c) Liliane Grenier on Elfworld While the past few summers have belonged to the superhero (and, oddly, friends with benefits), the next few years promise to be filled with remakes of fairy tales and fairy tale-esque stories.

Then, I tried it with my own name because I’m a narcissist. (What would Freud say?) Only one photo came up, my Facebook profile pic which features me in leather jacket canoodling with a French bulldog named Petey. I assume hundreds of people have masturbated to it. Anyway, this site is terrible. Terrible. The worst. Post from: Crushable The Daily WTF: Is ‘Thank Your Wank’ the End of the Internet? |

| It’s Never Too Soon to Speculate About Future ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Contestants Posted: 21 Jul 2011 09:41 AM PDT
Some of these seem more likely than others. Dina Lohan has probably made her agent call the show every fifteen minutes, so I’d trace the source of those rumors about her casting right back to Dina herself. Rob’s sister Kim Kardashian already did the show, and Snooki seems like a good pick since her costar The Situation was on a few seasons ago. The Ashley Hebert rumor seems plausible, since The Bachelorette and DWTS are both ABC properties and the network loves to keep it in the family. Plus, previous Bachelor castoff Melissa Rycroft did really well on the show and parlayed her success into some TV hosting work. As for Mike Tyson? He’s trying to have a comeback/redemption with his new reality show, and this seems like a thing he could do on the comeback tour. (Oh, and I’m sure Dancing will love mentioning how Evander Holyfield was on the very first season, alongside … former Bachelorette Trista Sutter. God, this show is incestuous.) Who would you like to see on Dancing? I’ve been wanting Linda Blair for some reason – probably because nostalgia contestans like Jennifer Grey and Donny Osmond do really well on this show, and I am curious about where she’s been and what she has been up to. I also want Lark Voorhies, because I love ’90s TV stars and she has really dropped off the face of the earth, plus the Saved By the Bell episode where she sprained her leg and danced anyway was awesome.

To be honest, there’s something incredibly disquieting about seeing Lyla Garrity wielding a pistol, by that doesn’t mean we don’t find this photo of Minka Kelly totally badass. The photo was taken on the set of Minka’s new show, a Charlie’s Angels reboot, which is currently shooting in Miami. Squinty eyes, full hearts, can’t lose?

| Posted: 21 Jul 2011 08:25 AM PDT Those of you partying it up at San Diego Comic-Con, here’s a way to enhance the experience: Comic-Con Bingo, from the lovely folks at Comedy Central. From Pedobear to the celebrities who are there only to promote comic-book movies and aren’t used to nerds hanging all over them, here’s your spot to document it. Extra points if you send photos of each geeky encounter to @ccinsider. And for those of you playing from home, you can still go by the live streams and photo galleries to fill out the squares.
I’ve heard plenty of SDCC veterans complain about how a lot of the programming in the past few years has been non-geeky stuff like Glee, which explains why there’s a spot for attendees dressed as characters that aren’t from comic books. Perhaps that’s also why one of the entries is for a line to the women’s bathroom — maybe it’s a new shocker, that enough women who have to pee (really, that’s any of us) are all congregated in one geeky place. Just watch out for the Furries! Related posts: Post from: Crushable |

Most Surprising Announcement: Adam The cast decides to take a break off from beating each other up to play cards and hang out. Adam then announces that he has had a crush on Jenn for “like three years,” which comes as an absolute shock to me. It’s actually kind of cute to see someone on this show have a crush instead of meet and have sex in the bathroom ten minutes later. However, because the editors of this show are clearly confused by this, so they cut to a scene of Jenn (and, I think, Laurel) skinnydipping while Adam looks on with a weird combination of horniness and sadface. Best Self-Aware Moment: Mandi Well, I think it’s Mandi – the editing is kind of weird, but it seems to be her. Mandi joins some of the others (including Tyler) in the pool, and one of the others rips off Maybe-Mandi’s top and announces the pool is now a “no-top slop,” which makes no sense. Mandi yells that her mom is going to be really upset. Finally, someone acknowledges that some parents would be horrified by the way the nitwits on this show behave, although I guess Mandi’s mom has no problem with her daughter talking about how hot it is to be choked during sex. Later, Mandi is cute again when she and Jenn win the challenge and Mandi announces it’s her very first win ever. Best Vocabulary: Tyler He mentions that the hardest part of the Challenge is the mental game, and that you can “create narratives” in your head out of nothing. That is officially the longest word anyone has used on this show so far besides “Nehemiah.” Most Overinvested In the Show: Wes When Jasmine gets into yet another drunken rambly hysteric state and storms off the set, Wes yells “Keep your mike on!” Because Wes understands that what really matters on this show isn’t flipping out, it’s flipping out within camera range and with your mike on. Jasmine is screaming about wanting to go home and knocking stuff over, and her partner Jonna is understandably frustrated. Jasmine’s last drunken flipout was amusing but her shit is getting old. Later, Wes tries to give Jonna a lecture about how not voting with Wes’ group means that she deserves “a slap on the wrist” as punishment for being a rookie and daring to have her own brain. Shut up, Wes. Worst Partner: Jasmine I love the format of this show and the way it forces people who don’t like each other to have to suck it up and work together, but it does have some downsides. One of them is that someone like Jonna, who has her shit together and is a good competitor, has to spend a ton of time and energy keeping her partner from having a nervous breakdown. Jasmine even voiceovers that Jonna’s job is to keep Jasmine in check, which … no, it isn’t. Jonna voiceovers that she’s tired of constantly having to build Jasmine up and tell her she’s pretty in order to make sure she doesn’t quit the show and screw Jonna over in the process. Best New Addition: Animation This week, when TJ explains the challenge, there’s a brief animated graphic illustrating how it works. It’s really cute and much better than listening to Evan repeat verbatim what TJ said (hint hint, show). The challenge is basically about going down crazy fast whitewater rapids backwards. Spoiler alert: CT is awesome at it. Related posts: Post from: Crushable ‘The Challenge’ Awards: If You Don’t Vote With Us, You Have to Beat Us |
| Check Out Sad Andrew Garfield and Awesome Spidey in the First ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Trailer Posted: 21 Jul 2011 07:47 AM PDT The first trailer for Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man has landed, and it looks pretty fantastic. It’s obviously grittier than the Sam Raimi movies — which dipped into camp by the third one — and in this teaser alone, I caught two things that the originals didn’t touch upon: What actually happens to Peter Parker’s parents, and the fact that the radioactive spider sticks around for a little while after biting him. But you know what both films have? A flair for the dramatic. Spider-Man‘s first big teaser hit theaters right before 9/11, so it was quickly pulled after the tragedy. Still, it was a stunning visual: Spider-Man traps two criminals’ helicopters in a giant web between the World Trade Center buildings. The above teaser concludes with a Spider-Man-POV sequence where you climb walls and jump between buildings. It’s a little cheesy and obvious that it’s CGI, but it’s still pretty exhilarating. As for Andrew Garfield‘s other identity — although we haven’t seen him with a camera yet, we’re definitely getting a Peter Parker vibe in the self-deprecating way he says, “Not much to tell” when Gwen Stacy’s (Emma Stone) parents ask about him. Interestingly, we don’t see much of villains The Lizard (Rhys Ifans) or Proto-Goblin (Irrfan Khan); this teaser seems to focus more on how Peter first gets his powers.

I loved Ace of Cakes (okay, mostly because I had a crush on Geoff, but whatever) and wish it was still on the air, but it’s good to know that 
I’ve noticed something about my reality show viewing habits: I’m usually not able to devote enough energy to stick through an entire season of a competition show like Celebrity Apprentice, but I’ll gladly watch The Millionaire Matchmaker and most of the Real Housewives installments. Maybe it’s because I find it too straightforward to watch two teams compete for a prize. Instead, I must prefer seeing shrews and man-children create ridiculous, arbitrary divisions that ensure they will continue to fight about non-issues until the reunion show.
The next season of Dancing with the Stars kicks off on September 19, which means there’s still plenty of time to speculate about which has-beens and never-weres will get cast this year. 
As you might have noticed, I did not recap The Challenge last week. Because I don’t have cable and like to get screencaps of the episodes, I watch them online. But MTV.com decided that last week’s episode wouldn’t be available until August, so I had no way to watch it. However, I apparently missed Kenny being a loser and CT schooling everyone again, so I feel contented that nothing bad happened. So let’s get back to business, shall we?| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
