EXCLUSIVE: Four Minutes Of 'The Human Centipede' Will Freak You The Hell Out

Posted 4/27/10 12:52 pm EST by in Video

As if the Germans haven't provided enough villains, along comes "The Human Centipede," which has earned the honor of most controversial film of the year. The film follows a mad German doctor who kidnaps three people -- including two attractive American girls, natch -- for a horrific experiment in which he will sew his victims together, ass to mouth, linking their digestive systems to create a "human centipede." Grossed out yet? Everyone else is.

The film -- which already has its sequel greenlit -- was picked up by IFC Films and will see a limited theatrical release beginning April 30. Check out our exclusive clip from the flick below, featuring the doc explaining what's in store to his unwilling participants.

'Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time' Trailer, Meet Your LEGO Twin!

Posted 4/26/10 11:45 am EST by in Hot Stuff, Video

There are a few things I hope are written about me when I pass on. One of those -- the naming of my child Wilford Brimley Cocoon Jacks -- has yet to happen, but number two on the list is ready to be crossed from my bucket list. Over the past month, my colleague Matt Harper and I have been diligently re-creating the "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" movie trailer using nothing but Legos. It's been a strange trip since I first laid eyes on a two-inch Ben Kingsley Lego figure at Toy Fair earlier this year, and I immediately knew it was my destiny to animate him.

I think it turned out pretty well, nearly two minutes of stop-motion goodness. So watch below as we bring you pint-sized versions of Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, Gemma Arterton and Alfred Molina rocking out summer blockbuster-style. And if you enjoy, please retweet it, link it, and generally pass it around. You'll validate my life's work.

EXCLUSIVE: From The Makers Of 'Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus' Comes 'Mega Piranha' -- Watch The Craziest Trailer Of The Year!

Posted 4/6/10 4:12 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video

Last May I went gaga over a little film called "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus," which featured scenes like a great white shark taking a bite out of the Golden Gate Bridge. We premiered the trailer here on MTV.com and it quickly became one of our highest trafficked of all time. I like to think I can spot quality stuff.

Well now we've got another treat for you from the folks at The Asylum, and it's just as fun as their previous opus. It's called "Mega Piranha" and it stars '80s pop star Tiffany trying to stop a horde of mutant killer fish. The scenes are just as hilariously campy as "Mega Shark" (one fish takes down a helicopter and yes, that's a guy drop kicking a piranha in the picture below) so I think you'll enjoy. Check it out here (or click here for glorious high-def) and then catch it on SyFy this Saturday at 9/8c.

The DVD and Blu-ray are out this week and we've snagged one of the special features: a deleted scene which features none other than recent Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges teaching Aikido to Clooney and a gaggle of fellow soldiers.

'Greatest American Hero' Star William Katt Remembers Robert Culp: 'A Tough Guy With A Heart Of Gold'

Posted 3/24/10 10:15 pm EST by in News

Robert Culp, William Katt and Connie Sellecca -- Courtesy William KattWhen I heard about the sad passing of Robert Culp earlier this evening, I immediately thought of his friend William Katt, who of course co-starred with the acting legend on the 1980s action show "Greatest American Hero." I happen to have email corresponded with William on occasion, so I asked for his reaction to the news and he very graciously sent me the following statement, along with the last photo he took with Robert (with Connie Sellecca at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con).

"Robert Culp was the grit and the gravity that kept 'The Greatest American Hero' honest. He was the reason the show worked! A tough guy with a heart of gold and a line delivery like no other. He was a teacher, a mentor and a good friend and I'll miss him. Wm katt"

Stay tuned to the MTV Movies Blog for more on the passing of Robert Culp.

Getting Schooled By Robert Culp Was An Amazing Experience: One MTV Staffer's Personal Memory

Posted 3/24/10 6:22 pm EST by in News, Video

Like many children of the 80s, I first encountered Robert Culp as the surly FBI handler in "Greatest American Hero." But in the years since then, I experienced more of the actor's wide body of work and he quickly became one of my favorite actors. I watched him in shows like "I Spy" and in films like "P.T. 109," and it was wildly entertaining to see him dish out his trademark barbs.

So it was with great enthusiasm that I booked an interview with the legend at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2008. I've dealt with the biggest stars around, from Anthony Hopkins to Leonardo DiCaprio, so I'm over the whole nervousness thing, but I'll admit I was scared s--tless going into my interview with Robert. Even in his late-70s, he was as snarky as ever and I didn't know what to expect. Thankfully he was very nice, but boy, was he able to throw out sarcasm like a master. I found that out firsthand when I called "Greatest American Hero" a superhero show, and he was lighting quick to jump on me for that.

Being a longtime fan, I loved being on the personal end of a Culp stinger and it was easily one of the highlights of my career. You can watch that moment in the video below, and be sure to stay tuned to the MTV Movies Blog for more on the passing of Robert Culp. He was an amazing figure and I'm very, very sorry to see him go.
