Solar Tsunami Heads To Earth, Heralding The Arrival Of Aliens, Terminators And Super Powers!

Posted 8/4/10 11:23 am EST by in Commentary, Humor

There's a solar tsunami headed for Earth. Now, don't panic — it sounds a lot worse than it actually is. Basically, if you live in the Northern portion of the United States and possibly even lower, you're going to see some beautiful lights all throughout the night sky tonight thanks to a solar eruption from the sun. It might knock out some satellites in the process, but overall, we should be fine.

But it's so much more fun to speculate on what might happen if the solar tsunami has some considerably wackier side effects. Judging based on previously seen movie and television plots, here are some possibilities for how the solar tsunami is going to influence the future of mankind! Read More...

'Inception' Gag Video From CollegeHumor Is Accurate, Funny And Dead Wrong

Posted 8/3/10 12:29 pm EST by in Humor

Have you seen "Inception"? If you haven't, skip right past this post. If you have though, watch the below video from CollegeHumor. You will definitely feel like you're suddenly back to where you were right after the movie ended and you discussed it among your friends in an attempt to figure things out. The CH folks make a lot of good points, round up some Internet-spawned interpretations and basically speak to the ongoing dialogue around Chris Nolan's film, all within the context of a spoofed scene from the movie.

It works. It's also wrong. "Inception" rules. Any issues are there on purpose, just to make you second-guess yourself. ...right?

Justin Bieber And 'An Inconvenient Truth' Director Davis Guggenheim Team-Up Inspire Other Unlikely Collabos...

Posted 8/3/10 11:55 am EST by in Commentary, Humor, News

It's a bizarre day, MTV Movies Blog readers. The 16-year-old pop sensation Justin Bieber is getting a biopic. In 3-D. Directed by "An Inconvenient Truth" helmer Davis Guggenheim. And it will release next year, for Valentine's Day weekend. Also, my birthday.

Strange times. Pigs are most definitely not flying, not here in New York City at any rate, but this Bieber/Guggenheim collaboration really is happening. And why not? Bieber is a towering figure in the current pop culture landscape. Guggenheim is a top-level documentary filmmaker. Who better to tell the story of Bieber's sudden -- remember, he only came into the spotlight last year -- meteoric rise to success? It's with that in mind that I offer these other potential subjects for our most talented documentary filmmakers... Read More...

Sylvester Stallone Ponders A Rambo Origin Story, So We Ponder The Casting

Posted 8/2/10 3:35 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor

Last week, "The Expendables" star Sylvester Stallone sat down to answer a week's worth of fan-submitted at Ain't It Cool News. In one of the entries, someone asked about the possibility of Stallone returning to the character of John Rambo, not to play him but rather to get his origin story up there on the big screen.

Stallone, who has previously collaborated with AICN on these sorts of interviews and has always gamely entertained fan questions & theories, was intrigued. "I certainly think this is worth pondering because it’s intriguing to find the whys and wherefores of how people have come to become what they are," he wrote. "The traumas, the loss and the tragedy of being in Vietnam would certainly be a great challenge for a young actor and it would be ironic that Rambo directs younger Rambo after having played it for 20 plus years."

It's actually a pretty terrific idea, telling the story of how a crazed and broken John Rambo returned to the States in the original film, "First Blood." Who would you cast though? Stallone's shoes are mighty big ones to fill and it's going to take just the right actor to pull it off. Since chances are high that this isn't something that will ever happen I have no problem rattling off my casting ideas after the jump. Read More...

'Dinner For Schmucks' Star Steve Carell Gets Up Close And (Too?) Personal With MTV's Josh Horowitz

Posted 7/30/10 12:10 pm EST by in Humor, Video

"Dinner for Schmucks" is out today, bringing home Steve Carell's third movie of the year, after "Date Night" and "Despicable Me." A few weeks ago, Carell sat down -- and I use the term loosely -- with MTV's Josh Horowitz for an informal chat. A very informal chat. Remember Josh's encounter with John C. Reilly back in June? This is more awkward, more disturbing. Hit play and prepare to be horrified.

'American Idol' Behind-The-Scenes Drama Is An HBO Tell-All Movie In The Making

Posted 7/30/10 11:23 am EST by in Commentary, Humor

"American Idol" has undergone some radical changes over the last 24 hours — indeed, considerably longer than that, as Simon Cowell's decision to leave the show has been public knowledge for quite some time. But in the last day, it was announced that Ellen DeGeneres has opted to leave the show as well, and now reports are coming in that Kara DioGuardi has been fired, with other firings potentially to follow.

What is the world coming to?

Although this certainly doesn't herald the end of "American Idol" as a franchise, it would seem that significant changes are coming to the show. It only makes sense then that some network — say, I don't know, HBO — secures the rights to making the "American Idol" behind-the-scenes tell-all telemovie. In case that ever happens, we've taken the liberty of casting the major "American Idol" players with some of HBO's regularly used faces. Check out our casting picks after the jump! Read More...

Bruce Willis Gets Wacky With MTV At San Diego Comic-Con

Posted 7/29/10 1:20 pm EST by in Humor

Good news everyone! Bruce Willis isn't sad anymore! He's actually feeling kind of goofy these days, as you can see in our below video from last week's San Diego Comic-Con livestream. I'd like to think it's because he had so much fun shooting "Red" with the likes of Karl Urban, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Mary Louise-Parker, Morgan Freeman, Richard Dreyfuss and a whole mess of other talented performers. I guess it could also be because "Die Hard 5" is imminent. But as Willis himself has said... "There is no John McClane."

As Rihanna Boards 'Battleship,' MTV Looks To Pair Other Pop Stars With Board Game Flicks

Posted 7/28/10 2:39 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor

While we still aren't sure what role Rihanna will play in board game adaptation "Battleship" (I hope, for her sake, she gets to get it on with either Taylor Kitsch and Alexander Skarsgard... or both), we imagine she will bring her own flare for theatrics to the role. The thing about her casting is that it has us wondering what pop stars would do well in other planned movie adaptations of board games. Read More...

Chewbacca Rides A Squirrel Into Battle Against Nazis!

Posted 7/27/10 12:40 pm EST by in Humor, Photos

UPDATE: Bonnie tells us in the comments below that the artist's name is Tyler Edlin, and his work can be found here. Learn the unusual origin of this image in his interview with Bonnie on the Star Wars Blog.

The Internet frequently leaves me speechless. Today is one of those days. I've got no idea who made this image, and if anyone does I'd appreciate the info. But StarWars.com editor/writer Bonnie Burton -- Twitter's @BonnieGrrl tweeted an amazing (and amazingly bizarre) piece of "Star Wars" fan art this morning...

If anyone's got any further info on this pic, I'd love to share it here. Most importantly... what the hell planet is that on, where giant squirrels, Nazis and Wookiees all co-exist?

Bill Murray Justifies His 'Garfield' Role In The Greatest Way Possible

Posted 7/21/10 4:50 pm EST by in Humor, News

I had meant to write up this news earlier in the week, but San Diego Comic-Con planning got in the way (send us your questions!). Bill Murray is a true national treasure. If you're a journalist who is lucky enough to spend any amount of time with him, you make the best of that time by asking him about every freaking thing you can think of. Because you never know what he's going to say, but it's always going to be entertaining.

In this particular case, Murray gave a lengthy interview to GQ. And, as these things often do, talk inevitably turned to "Garfield." Okay, okay... things don't inevitably go that way, but it is undoubtedly Murray's most questionable career choice and the interviewer in question wanted to know what led to it. Whether or not he's telling the truth, the response is hilarious. Let's all just agree right here that it's true, even if it's not. Cool? Then read on... Read More...
