Part April Fool's joke, part viral promotion for their upcoming apocalypse film 'This is the End,' James Franco and Seth Rogen made a sequel trailer to their cultish comedy, 'Pineapple Express.'
Which might have angered and confused anyone who smoked a bowl in celebration before watching the trailer in its entirety.
Everyone's afraid of something. And if you're not, chances are you're not really human -- because even celebrities, those citizens we put on pedestals, have phobias, some of which can seem far from normal.
But even outside of Hollywood, if it exists, chances are someone you know is afraid of it. Yes, even rainbows. (That's called iridophobia.)
Any self-respecting kid who grew up during the late 1980s through the early 1990s knows 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' like the back of their hand. Origin story involving mutagenic ooze? Wise old sensei in the form of a talking bipedal rat? Arch villain bristling with a set of pointy armor? Check, check and check.
We're going to pretend all of these people are hilarious and not morons. When the 2013 Super Bowl was delayed by a power outage, most people took it as a chance to actually talk to the people at their football party. These people decided to make jokes on Twitter that the half hour of darkness was actually 'The Dark Knight Rises' villain Bane's fault.
There’s no denying that 2012 was a strong year for film. We had great, big genre franchise stunners like ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Hobbit,’ small and compelling surprises like ‘Looper’ and ‘Holy Motors,’ as well as great works by top-tier filmmakers like Spielberg's ‘Lincoln’ and Tarantino's ‘Django Unchained.’
If you tried to describe the violent holiday classic ‘Home Alone’ to someone who had never seen it, they might wonder why it’s considered a “must watch” at Christmas time. Watching the precocious, sadistic Kevin McAllister (played by Macaulay Culkin) find new and unique ways to commit assault and battery against two hapless burglars doesn’t sound like something that would teach an impressionable child about why the holidays are important.
Though they're still working on script, and should start filming shortly - even after releasing a teaser this summer - we only have a small inkling of what's in store for us when 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' hits theaters next year. But now the picture has a release date, and it means only one thing: Will Ferrell is gunning for an Oscar.
Was there ever any doubt that 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' was going to dominate this weekend? Heck, it's probably going to dominate next weekend, too. If audiences embrace it like they did 'Lord of the Rings,' it may even dominate the week after that. The big question now is whether or not Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth will make a bunch of money, but exactly how many bunches.
The Will Ferrell holiday classic 'Elf' wasn’t supposed to be a hit. Despite being a heartwarming comedy released around the holiday season, it had several things going against it before the filmmakers had a chance to start shooting.
