George Lucas Says He's Retiring
31 May 2012 2:26 PM, PDT | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
So we're all pretty mad (still) at George Lucas, right? He's kind of a tool. He made the worst prequels of all time and then continued to f*ck up the original series with ridiculous additions of stupid walking aliens and stuff. Anyway, here's the commentary from the South Park episode "Free Hat" in which Matt Stone and Trey Parker (geniuses) make a comment on George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. It's important and awesome.
Anyway, George Lucas is talking a lot about retiring, which he's talked about before. He wants to go off the grid and live on a ranch or something stupid. What he really means is that he's completely out of ideas so he just goes back into his classics and totally shits on everyone's dreams and memories.
He recently told Empire Magazine:
I'm moving away from the company, I'm moving away from all my businesses, I'm finishing »

Steven Spielberg's 'E.T.' coming to Blu-ray, and it's walkie-talkie free! -- Video
30 May 2012 11:12 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
For many, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial remains Steven Spielberg’s most indelible film, holding a special spot in moviegoers’ hearts. (I know it does for me.) But when the movie was re-released in theaters in 2002 to celebrate its 20th anniversary, Spielberg tried to fix something that was not broken and “updated” the movie’s visual effects. He gave E.T.’s face a CG makeover, added back in a couple deleted scenes, and — most controversially — switched out the rifles held by police officers chasing down Elliott and his bicycle buddies with walkie-talkies.
Fans cried foul. South Park mocked the decision. Last year, »

Blake Anderson Talks Ninja Turtles and the Workaholics Season 3 Premiere, debuting May 29th
It's about to get Weird! Workaholics returns for all-new episodes this Tuesday, May 29th, when the TeleAmeriCorp guys go on The Business Trip, which finds Blake Anderson, Anders Holm, and Adam DeVine acid tripping during a mandatory work function. Also arriving this Tuesday is the Workaholics: Seasons 1 & 2 Combo Doggy Blu-ray, which offers the past twenty episodes uncut and ready to party.
To celebrate the return of Blake, Adam, and The Ders, we caught up with Mr. Blake Anderson himself to discuss partying on the roof, Ninja Turtles, E-40, and Hedonism.
Here's our conversation.
I'm going to hit you with the tough questions first. Corey Feldman. Should he or should he not return as the voice of Donatello in Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles?
Blake Anderson: Oh, yes, of course he should. He nailed that voice. »

Before he was a multihyphenated rapper with multiplatinum albums and a fashion line under his belt, Kanye West was just a little boy, presumably celebrating his birthday in this photograph. In this spirit, we've captioned the adorable photo with some of the 34-year-old's most memorable quotes, taken from his former blog, KanyeUniverseCity, and his own Twitter page.

Red Tails Review: Dazzling in the Air, Boring on the Ground
23 May 2012 1:29 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
It may come as no surprise to read that the new film from George Lucas – WWII aerial drama Red Tails – is more sure-footed in the exciting dogfight combat scenes than it is on the tarmac. It sucks when conventional wisdom is proven to be true – it’d have been much more interesting to be able to say that producer Lucas and director Anthony Hemingway have exceeded expectations – but the film is exactly what you’d expect: a mix of amazing CGI planes and the cliche, thinly defined pilots who fly them. There’s the alcoholic one (Nate Parker), the undisciplined but brilliant ace (David Oyelowo), the eager-to-please rookie (Tristan Wilds), and their proud, faultlessly noble superiors (Cuba Gooding, Jr and Terrence Howard), but if you’ve seen a movie before you’ll instantly figure out where all these guys are headed, along with what you’re supposed to think and feel, »

Jon Eig: The New Abnormal: What Modern Sitcoms Can Learn From the Past
20 May 2012 12:29 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
The networks announced their 2012/13 seasons this week. Many years ago, this was a big event. It isn't anymore. But the media still trots out a few column inches on the new shows we can expect to see cancelled next fall. And I always look, hoping to find some vestige of brief, glorious part of America's cultural past.
Most current sitcoms can be traced to one of several family trees. You can still see the spawn of Lucy and Ricky in Mike and Molly, just as you can scratch The Middle hard enough and find Father Knows Best. The Seinfeld/Friends juggernaut is visible in the Fox hit The New Girl, among others. And workplace comedies that sprang from The Dick Van Dyke Show make up most of NBC's current line-up.
The networks' new shows mostly fall into these generic categories. Chances are, one or two will strike a chord, most will flounder. »

Weekly Poll Results: Best Movie Based on a TV Show
17 May 2012 10:41 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The results of last week's poll are in, and surprise, surprise... the Whedonites came out in full force! According to Film Junk readers, Serenity is the best movie based on a TV show... too bad most moviegoers still had not even heard of Firefly back when this movie hit theatres. It was followed closely by South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, while Mission: Impossible and The Fugitive rounded out the top 5. I was a little surprised that Jackass: The Movie came in dead last, but with so much to choose from, I suppose it's a little hard to justify giving it your vote. Overall though, the votes seem to have been spread around quite nicely. Do you agree with these results? 1. Serenity -- 16.6% 2. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut -- 14.5% 3. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan -- 13.8% 4. Mission: Impossible -- 11.1% 5. The »

Time Warner Cable, Viacom Reach iPad Agreement

By Jonathan Stempel
(Reuters) - Viacom Inc, the parent of MTV and Comedy Central, has settled lawsuits with Time Warner Cable Inc over whether cable subscribers may watch shows on mobile devices such as Apple Inc's iPad.
The accord means Viacom programs such as "Jersey Shore," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "South Park" will become available over the TWC TV app over the next several weeks.
"All of Viacom's programming will now be available to Time Warner Cable subscribers for in-home viewing via Internet protocol-enabled devices such as iPads," the companies said in a joint statement posted on Viacom's website.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Time Warner Cable will also continue to carry programming from Viacom's Country Music Television, the companies said.

Is it time to retire the Family Guy?
17 May 2012 4:20 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
As Peter Griffin and his clan's 10th season hits UK screens, the show's formerly smart jokes look increasingly hollow and cynical
There comes a time in every show's life cycle where its best days are gone. Yet a few manage to stumble on into their zombie years; the show having degenerated into a shambling, self-referential corpse, existing merely because it can, not because it should. And after 10 seasons – and an 11th confirmed earlier this week – Family Guy may well have reached that point.
It's not that Family Guy has ever been a work of comedic genius, exactly. Lacking the heart of The Simpsons and the searing wit of South Park (which devoted an entire episode to ripping apart Family Guy's laziness), it veers dangerously towards background noise. And yet for all its flaws, it's always been funny – even challenging, if you're alert enough. Not to mention that it's a »

Thq Drops Devil's Third, South Park: The Game Delayed to Q1, 2013
16 May 2012 3:10 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
By Jeffrey Matulef
Thq boss Brian Farrell said during an investor call that the publisher has backed out of publishing Ninja Gaiden creator Tomonobu Itagaki's next game, Devil's Third, a third-person shooter.
"When we ranked all of our product releases when we underwent our restructuring, the profitability of Devil's Third wasn't comparable with our other franchises," Farrell explained. Devil's Third had undergone a severely costly setback when the company supplying the engine for the game went out of business, forcing Itagaki's Valhalla Game Studios to switch engines midway through development.
This doesn't mean the game's been cancelled, however, as Thq is looking for another publisher to offload the project onto.
Meanwhile, Thq also announced that their upcoming South Park: The Game, an RPG being developed by Fallout: New Vegas developer, Obsidian Entertainment, has been delayed. Originally expected to come out this year, it's been pushed back to the »

Mitt Romney's bully beef: film-maker takes him to task
15 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Bully documentary director, Lee Hirsch, has called for the Republican presidential candidate to take a genuine stand after stories emerge of the latter's behaviour in high school
The director of high-profile Us documentary Bully has called on Mitt Romney to take a stand against bullying following revelations that the Republican presidential candidate made life a misery for a fellow pupil as a teenager.
Lee Hirsch, whose film examines the deaths of Us schoolchildren Tyler Long and Ty Smalley, who killed themselves after being bullied, said Romney's failure to issue a genuine apology for his actions were a missed opportunity that he hoped the former Massachusetts governor would reflect on. "This could be a true presidential moment for Mitt Romney," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "My hope is that he would recognise that we are past framing bullying as horseplay or pranking around. We need our leaders to call it as it is. »

The John Bensalhia Column: Scream of the crop
14 May 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
So here is a slight change of pace – I'll be branching out into other areas apart from Doctor Who, including film franchises, TV shows and comedies. How's about kicking off with a scary movie series then? Newbies be warned – there are so many spoilers in this article, that Doctor Who's River Song would explode with smug rage.
By the middle of the 1990s, the horror film had seemingly died for good. Just like Dracula slowly rotting away to a skeleton, the horror genre had slowly ebbed away for the past decade or so. Hammer Horror classics from the 1960s and 1970s had given way to popular horror franchises in the 1980s such as Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but even by the mid-1990s, these had seemingly vanished into the ether. However, acclaimed director Wes Craven along with Kevin Williamson were to breathe new life into the rotting genre. »
Review: The Dictator
13 May 2012 5:37 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Review by Duncan Bain
Stars: Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, John C. Reilly, Sir Ben Kingsley, J.B. Smoove | Written by Sacha Baron Cohen, Alec Berg, David Mandel, Jeff Schaffer | Directed by Larry Charles
“The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed.”
Sacha Baron Cohen’s Channel 4 series Da Ali G Show rocketed him to international success and acclaim roughly ten years ago – the three main characters from that show have each enjoyed cinematic outings (to varying degrees of success) making the Dictator, General Aladeen his 1st original character to grace the silver screen. “Original” may be a misnomer however, as Aladeen is a gestalt surrogate used to embody every despotic cliché one can imagine.
The plot, such as it is, borrows heavily from Coming to America – Aladeen is ungraciously ripped from »
