'The Voice' Reactions, 'Fast Five' Reviews And Miley Cyrus Meets 'Thor' In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/27/11 1:45 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Fast FiveAfter months of promotion (it felt like years), "The Voice" finally premiered last night to huge numbers. During the show, the twitter-verse exploded, and tweet-shrapnel came from every which way, including Hollywood.

Meanwhile, the opening of "Thor" mightily approaches, and actress/singer Miley Cyrus wants in. While she's not billed for the film, Miley posted her own addition to the superhero epic. We have a feeling it's not going to make the final cut, but hey, here's hoping. All this and "Fast Five" is already receiving rave reviews -- and one outlet just doesn't get it.

Thor's Beard, 'Rio' Promotion And Passover Celebrations In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/19/11 2:09 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


ThorThe summer blockbuster season is rapidly approaching and the tweets are alive with excitement. Arguably, the first big film opens May 6th and comes in the form of a hammer-wielding warrior named "Thor." Leave it to Seth MacFarlane to point out the most exciting thing about the Norse God.

For us, summer blockbuster season usually means obnoxiously-excited-for-new-Pixar-movies season. We're counting down the days until "Cars 2," but one "Finding Nemo" star is upset that a sequel is not in her future.

Meanwhile, "Rio" slayed "Scream 4" at the box office this weekend and star Tracy Morgan finally gets his promotional groove on. And another comedian is celebrating Passover this year, albeit under a new name.

Jason Bateman And David Koechner Are 'Always Open!' At Denny's In New Online Talk Show

Posted 3/8/11 12:02 pm EST by in Humor, Video


There's nothing Will Arnett or Jason Bateman could do that we here at MTV Movies Blog wouldn't be interested in, even if it's just commercials.

And that's exactly what their venture Dumb Dumb is doing: reshaping our ideas of commercials with the help of College Humor. Dumb Dumb launched in July 2010 with the short film "Prom Date" in promotion of Orbit, and now the duo is at it again with "Always Open!," a new talk show nestled in the comforting confines of your local Denny's.

Surely there hasn't been a better venue for an online video show since Zach Galifianakis set up shop between two ferns, and host David Koechner is making use of the way America's favorite breakfast joint brings out the best in people for Dumb Dumb's newest show. The first episode premiered yesterday with Bateman as its guest.

In other tweets, calls are going out for an auto-tuned edition of the Jet Blue attendant's tirade from before he bailed on the runway. Marlon Wayans said he doesn't care about Michelle Obama's vacation budget, and Sarah Silverman wishes that women could all get along a bit better. Find out why after the jump where you'll also see what Tyra Banks might look like as a man.

And yet that's exactly what Sarah Silverman lures him in the below video. It all turns out fine in the end though; Silverman and Ansari's shared fascination with one particular video leads to comedy gold when Zac Efron's sudden arrival forces them to get creative.

Now that Aziz Ansari has been officially confirmed as the host of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, we can all talk about how awesome that is.

You've already heard what Diddy, Zac Efron and Kristen Bell think of the pick. But how about Sarah Silverman? "You've got this little brown baby, Aziz," she begins... just watch the video.

John Mayer, Alexander McQueen And 'Valentine's Day' In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 2/11/10 4:00 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


While John Mayer has been busy apologizing on his own Twitter account for some controversial comments he made in a Playboy interview, opinions about his words have been sprouting up on other accounts throughout Twitter-Wood, in some cases prompting his defenders to defend themselves.

In more somber news, the reported suicide of designer Alexander McQueen sparked memorial tweets all over the place today, and I've got a few of those from Kirstie Alley, Tyra Banks and Kim Kardashian retweeted below. You can read those and find a picture from Ashton Kutcher en route to the London premier of "Valentine's Day," a shot of Andy Samberg on the "Parks and Recreation" set and some mighty excited exclation points from Brett Ratner after the jump in Twitter-Wood for February 11, 2010.

EXCLUSIVE: Steve Buscemi And Sarah Silverman In These 'Saint John Of Las Vegas' Stills

Posted 1/7/10 4:30 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Photos


Did you like "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" I did, and quite a bit too. The performers and performances are great of course, but the story is what sticks with you. It is loosely (very loosely, like almost unrecognizably so) adapted from Homer's Greek epic "The Odyssey," and it makes reference to the original work in a number of clever ways.

I get the same vibe from "Saint John of Las Vegas," an upcoming movie directed by Hue Rhodes that offers a similarly loose interpretation of "Dante's Inferno." Steve Buscemi stars as a recovering gambler who is tempted to return to the glitz and glamor when a business opportunity arises that will bring him back to Nevada's bastion of legalized gambling. Today we have some exclusive images from the film to share with you. Just click the image below to check out our full gallery.

You can find the trailer and other information on the movie's official website. You can also stay up on the latest updates via its Facebook and Twitter accounts. "Saint John of Las Vegas" opens in New York and Los Angeles on January 29, 2010, expanding wider on February 12, 2010.

Tiger Woods, 'New Moon' And Homemade 'Toy Story' Models In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 11/30/09 7:00 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Tiger Woods was a hot topic on Twitter this weekend, and that meant he became a trending topic in Twitter-Wood. Somehow his Cadillac Escalade has become a subject of interest too, particularly with one "Harper's Island" actor who pointed out that the golfer wasn't driving a Buick.

"Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich, meanwhile, retweeted some great shots of homemade models based on the Disney-Pixar series, they're mighty impressive. Also impressive has been the performance by "New Moon" in theaters this month, but Jim Carrey took note of the movie's rabid fans and issues a warning in response. Check out those tweets along with sad news from Emmy Rossum, how to get to Sesame Street and Sarah Silverman's reaction to "Precious." It's all waiting after the jump in the Twitter-Wood report for November 30, 2009. Read More...
