| We Have to Wait Until November 2013 to See the ‘Hunger Games’ Sequel ‘Catching Fire’ Posted: 08 Aug 2011 11:39 AM PDT
The press release doesn’t delve into the reasoning behind spacing the first two movies so far apart. The only specific thing that Lionsgate’s reps say about the movie, actually, is that their hope is to draw in families during the Thanksgiving holiday. But they could have aimed to have it out on Thanksgiving 2012, especially when you consider how much time goes by between books. Catching Fire takes place almost immediately where Hunger Games leaves off, so Lionsgate could have followed the final two Harry Potter films’ example by putting about eight months between their release dates. To have the audiences wait almost two years to get back into Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) head could throw a wrench into the transition, especially because Catching Fire is considered the slowest of the three books. Plus, since the second book takes place in another Arena — that’s all I’ll say without delving into actual spoilers — it really shouldn’t be that difficult to recreate the Games on-set in North Carolina. It’s unclear if the decision were influenced by scheduling conflicts from any of the actors. Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth all have a few upcoming projects apiece, but nothing monumental. We thought that the conflict might lie with Donald Sutherland, since President Snow has a much bigger part in the second movie, but The Hunger Games is his latest project according to his IMDb page. The only person whose schedule might mess things up would be Stanley Tucci, who will be filming Jack the Giant Killer in Gloucestershire — but his character, Caesar Flickerman, is only in certain parts of the story. We reached out to Lionsgate for any more information, but they told us, “It’s simply the best date for the movie.” Although Mockingjay also picks up at the ending of Catching Fire, its story and tone are so different that it makes sense for there to be some distance between films. But we better not have to wait til 2014 for that one! Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Watch Jonathan Lipnicki Age 15 Years in 2 Seconds Posted: 08 Aug 2011 11:30 AM PDT If I could get any pet in the world, I’d choose either a beagle puppy or Jonathan Lipnicki‘s character from Jerry Maguire. Did you guys know that adorable bespectacled tot is still acting? Only he’s no longer adorable, bespectacled, or a tot by any stretch of the imagination. Here’s proof: Jonathan’s nearly of legal drinking age (party at my place this October!), and he’s got two movies coming out soon: For the Love of Money and Tag. In the latter, he’ll star alongside Traci Lords and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Jerry Maguire kid and McLovin’ together in one movie? Call the pet adoption people pronto. Post from: Crushable  |
| Video: Vice Pulls an Awkward Interview out of Miranda July Posted: 08 Aug 2011 11:03 AM PDT Have you ever wanted to hear Miranda July talk about astrology? How about physics? Yeah? Okay, well, I don’t actually mean physics, just the particular way Miranda claims to experiences life as if it were a thing moving in slow-motion. We bet she owns a Carl Sagan turtleneck though! In this video, we see a collision of awkwardness as a curly-haired wallflower of a VBS TV reporter interviews a curly-haired wallflower of a filmmaker/performance artist/author, etc. It’s the video version of that table in your high school cafeteria where no one ever ate or talked, they just all sat and made sculptures out of their milk cartons and chalupas.

| Space Relations: What to do When Your Boyfriend and Your Roommate Hate Each Other Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:29 AM PDT
I bring this up because the other day a friend relayed a story to me that was a little crazy. Apparently when he was in college, he and his girlfriend's roommate didn't get along to the point that the cops had to get involved. My friend isn't a bad guy and had never been in trouble with the law before (or since), so of course I wanted to know all the details. He said that after months of having petty arguments for no particular reason, he and his girlfriend's roommate had established a sort of mutual hatred of one another. It was something that was deeply felt, but never discussed, until that fateful day that the neighbors called the po-po. The day had started out pretty normal. He was over at his girlfriend's house and the three of them decided to make a run to the grocery store together, ignoring the fact that they hated each other as usual. But at the store, tensions built up like never before after a minor disagreement over something stupid. By the time they got back to the house, things were so bad that his girlfriend's roommate picked up a giant planter and threatened to throw at him. Words were exchanged, my friend (a large dude) attempted to grab the planter from the roommate, a couple of neighbors witnessed them scuffling, and before they knew it the cops were outside. My friend was arrested and required to take anger management classes, and he and the roommate never spoke again. Eventually, he and his girlfriend broke up. Listening to this story, I was sort of shocked and impressed at the same time. Instead of thinking the story sounded far-fetched, it made me recall all of my own exes' roommates who I'd hated with a passion and wonder how I managed to avoid any disputes with them that involved a giant planter. There was the guy whose favorite activity was cranking up his stereo while watching movies on mute in the living room. The guy who, while my boyfriend was in the bathroom one day, told me that I had "nice tits." The guy who refused to acknowledge my presence even after I'd practically moved in. The list goes on and on. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Someone Made An Ice Cream That Tastes Like Justin Bieber Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:11 AM PDT Justin Bieber is so damn cute. Don’t you just want to roll around in his scent and then capture, kill and eat him, savoring every last bite? Ha ha, of course you don’t, that would be crazy. (Or do you? ARE YOU A TRUE BELIEBER?) Rather than discourage these worrying impulses in fans, Bieber’s management has only stoked them, first with the Bieber-themed lady scent “Someday,” and now with a Bieber-flavored ice cream sundae. Sold at London department store Harrods for the equivalent of $32, the Someday Sundae supposedly tastes how the perfume smells, with wild berry and vanilla ice cream, fresh pear, lavender sprinkles, and edible glitter. (Justin Bieber loves edible glitter.) $32 might seem a bit steep for a sundae, but all of the proceeds go to making sick kids’ dreams come true via the Make a Wish Foundation, so stop being so selfish. Do any of those dreams involve Justin Bieber? Chances are good. (Perhaps he should cut out the middle man and go around granting private audiences for free.) For anyone lucky enough to not meet the requirements for Make A Wish, there’s always the scent and the sundae. For tips on how to best enjoy it, see below. Related posts: Post from: Crushable  |
| Since ‘Sister, Sister,’ Tia and Tamera Mowry Have Been Milking This Twin Thing Posted: 08 Aug 2011 09:55 AM PDT After more than fifteen years playing twins in sitcoms and TV movies, Tia and Tamera Mowry are jumping on to a new bandwagon: Reality TV. Their half-hour special Tia & Tamera Take 2 aired on the Style Network in 2010; based on that success, they now have a full show revolving around Tia’s pregnancy and Tamera’s upcoming wedding. But what about the decade-and-a-half of lost time? For the most part, the Mowrys have stuck to the formula that’s served them the best: Playing twins or some sort of magical doppelgangers. However, each has managed to eke out a few single roles for herself. Let’s take a trip down memory lane that includes Family Guy, The Hot Chick, and a whole lot of matching outfits.

| Trailer Recap: ‘Jack and Jill’ Posted: 08 Aug 2011 10:14 AM PDT I posted the trailer for the upcoming Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill a little while ago, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about how ridiculous it is, and I decided it needed a more in-depth examination. I’ve decided this movie should be titled Tyler Perry Regifts: Jack and Jill, so let’s all call it that from now on, okay? Terrific. And how does this delightful trailer start? As a documentary about Adam Sandler who has a fancy Hollywood job and a big house and a beautiful wife, played by Katie Holmes and her thetans. But pretty soon, the video devolves into fiction: Adam’s character must pick up his sister at the airport. Adam Sandler has never picked anyone up from the airport in his life! (Okay, okay, maybe one time he picked someone up from Burbank, maybe, but this definitely looks like a miserable, traffic-filled LAX trip to me.) So Adam Sandler’s Jack has to pick up his twin sister Jill from an airport that is probably LAX, and as soon as this mythical Jill turns around in the baggage claim area we see that she’s played by… Adam Sandler! In lady clothes and lady makeup! But we know she’s supposed to be a woman because in addition to a terrible New York accent, Jill also has a lisp — which is not only the way that male comedians uniformly impersonate women, but also a totally real and accurate thing. All women lisp because that second X chromosome is actually located on our tongues. It’s like a tiny, permanent Lucky Charm, melded to our mouths, and it makes us all sound like marble-mouthed Russell Simmonses choking on a lungful of of helium. Keep up the realism, male comedians! Guess what, guys? In the interest of conflict, Jill has a terrible personality. She calls Jack fat, bald and ugly and is generally a burdensome goofball who’s interfering with her brother’s perfect documentary of a life. Ironically, Jill's the fat and unattractive one, and this is intrinsically offensive to Jack's wonderful Hollywood existence. That Jill, she's a real blobfish out of water. And Jack wants nothing to do with her. However — presumably because his wife threatens to withhold some sort of sex thing (thex thing) — Jack agrees to take Jill to a Lakers game. “Finally thome twin time!” she says, and I feel the saddest I’ve felt in weeks. Such is the emotive power of Adam Sandler in drag. So the pair of twinsies go to the game, and there in those stands something crazy and exciting happens: because this movie is set in Los Angeles, where these things happen all the time, Jill is sent a hot dog with a secret sexy message from none other than Hollywood’s Al Pacino. Al Pacino wants to date Jill! And we know he really means it because he raises his eyebrows in her direction. Post from: Crushable  |
| Video: This ‘Saved By The Bell’ Spoof Is Full Of Death And Murder Posted: 08 Aug 2011 08:59 AM PDT Ever wanted to see the cast of Saved By The Bell impaled by pointy objects? Today’s your lucky day, then, because actor/musician Miles Fisher has made a video that fulfills all your weirdest fantasies about Zach Morris and Kelly Kapowski. It’s supposed to be a viral promo for Final Destination 5, which, well, good luck with that, but I am choosing instead to take it as a literal skewering of the too-soon nineties nostalgia that’s currently invading our culture. I have had enough of that, thanks. Populated by the cast of the aforementioned sequel-to-a-sequel, the video follows the Bayside crew as they fail to outwit various bloody fates. This theme echoes that of the last Miles Fisher video to go viral, which took The Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place” and placed it in an American Psycho context. (Dude looks a frightening amount like Christian Bale.) The song itself, a Fisher original called “New Romance,” is sort of repetitive and forgettable, but then again, so was much of Saved By The Bell. Maybe don’t quit acting and directing, Miles Fisher.

| ‘True Blood’ Sex Recap: Blondes Have More Sex Posted: 08 Aug 2011 07:56 AM PDT
But I'm not here to talk about True Blood's overstuffed plot. I'm here to talk about its overstuffed—well, I'm here to talk about the sex. Alcide and Debbie were lucky enough to stumble on Sookie and Eric getting down under the moonlight. I actually think they lingered a bit longer than was appropriate, but hey, can you blame them? Then the two blondes took things to Sookie's house, where they had sex on her carpet, her couch, and her bed—in a myriad of exciting new positions! I like to imagine Bill watching all of this (because I am a sadist) and realizing how boring his Sookie sex was in comparison. Seriously, it's no contest. On the other hand, the long-awaited coupling is nowhere near as interesting as it should be. Yeah, they look good naked, but why does amnesiac Eric have to be such a goddamn bore? Not to mention the fact that Sookie was a lot more interesting when she was showing some backbone and spurning his advances. Now she's back to fawning over another vampire, and their puppy love schtick is getting old fast. More softcore porn, fewer Hallmark sentiments. And if they want to kink things up with some blood play or maybe a third partner (the ghost of Godric??), I would not mind at all. As for the other couples—what other couples, amirite?—Tara and Naomi ended their incredibly well-developed relationship. Sure, I get that Tara doesn't want her lady hurt, but they made a big deal about Tara's exciting new lesbian romance and we got, what, two mini-sex scenes and a smattering of angst? Weak. Maybe Naomi will be back. I don't really care at this point, but if this was the extent of Tara's same-sex exploration, then color me unimpressed. (I'll say it again: Tara/Pam. Give me a reason to like this show again.) Luna and Sam had an awkward interaction, until they quickly realized they'd been duped by Sam's brother. That Tommy! Rapin' women and wearin' someone else's skin! I was really hoping Sam would kick the shit out of him while Luna stomped on his nuts, but instead he just got yelled at and told to get gone. Given that Tommy has no business being on this show, I hope he really does disappear for good. And here's hoping Marshall Allman makes it onto a better smutty series, so he can be naked and have some actual plot to work with. Elsewhere, Jason continued to fantasize about Jessica, 'cause whatever. They're pretty together, and I truly hope Jessica isn't dead next week—she's one of the few characters I'd actually mourn—but I still don't get where this sudden obsession is coming from. I suppose it would be nice to see Ryan Kwanten having some consensual sex this season. Speaking of, I appreciated the way Hoyt brought up Jason's rape and addressed it seriously. You're the best, Hoyt. Oh, and we got a quickie sex scene between Alcide and Debbie. There's werewolf drama on the show, too, in case you forgot. Can't say I minded the eye candy, though. And frankly, Joe Manganiello's abs are far more nuanced than anything True Blood has done in the past couple years. Might as well just air an hour of that every week. Think of the ratings! And we wouldn't have to hear Fiona Shaw's terrible accent ever again. Post from: Crushable  |
Lionsgate just announced that Catching Fire, the second movie in the Hunger Games series, won’t be released until November 22, 2013. That’s more than two years from now, and twenty months after the first movie, which comes out March 23, 2012. Why the delay?!
A while back I wrote about 
Wow, Sunday night's True Blood was pretty steamy, huh? The continuation of Sookie and Eric's naked forest romp was sexy stuff, undercut only by the bonerkiller that is Fiona Shaw's ridiculous Spanish accent. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?| You are subscribed to email updates from Crushable To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
