The ball is set to drop in just a matter of hours, PopWatchers! So I can only imagine that more than a few of you are preparing to channel your inner Frank the Tanks this holiday. (Now I believe it is my duty to warn you that streaking will probably be looked down upon by your respective towns, as well as your respective sober selves when you see the inevitable embarrassing pics.)
And as I begin to line up my own champagne and wine bottles to celebrate the new year, I'm reminded of those in film and on TV who willingly put themselves in humiliating,

What gets an R-Rating? It's complicated...

Bodies pile up like dirty socks in the PG-13 Avatar, but Nancy Meyers' classy comedy It's Complicated got an R-rating from the MPAA. What gives? According to the New York Times, board members were uneasy about a sequence in which Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin smoke marijuana at a party with no negative consequences. Seems a little strange to us, since plenty of other movies have shown similar illegal activities without tragic ends. Here's a look at a few highlights (sorry, couldn't resist).

Happy birthday Peter Facinelli!

Today, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, and "Nurse Jackie" star Peter Facinelli turns thirty-six years young.
He has been in the acting business for nearly fifteen years, starting with a small role in Angela as Lucifer. Within a few years of beginning, Facinelli became a very recognizable face with his work in films like Can't Hardly Wait and Riding In Cars With Boys. He has since done over two dozen films as well as popular television series such as Damages, Six Feet Under, and Fastlane. In the Twilight series, Facinelli's art imitates life as he portrays the calm and r

Did the stars of "New Moon" decide on a fashion theme for the film's Los Angeles red-carpet premiere? Because all the "Twilight Saga" celebs donned their best vampy-glam looks on Monday night (November 16).
The movie's supporting cast certainly showed they have leading-man (or woman) style. The wolf pack's lone lady, Julia Jones, who plays Leah Clearwater in "Eclipse," looked absolutely stunning in a strapless dress by Norwegian designer Leila Hafzi. Justine Wachsberger, who plays Gianna in "New Moon," was in a very pretty strapless, green Issa dress with a Swarovski clutch. And Justin Chon, who plays Bella's classmate Eric, represented for the humans wearing a Dolce & Gabbana suit.

Peter Facinelli Has A Cup On His Head In Today's Daily TwitPic

I love it when headlines write themselves. This is one of those mornings. You all know who Peter Facinelli is of course. Star of the '90s high school comedy classic, "Can't Hardly Wait." Right? He's also in some movie called "Twilight," which I think has to do with vegetarians or vampires or forks or something like that. Who can tell these days?
Sooooo... right. In today's Daily TwitPic, the Cullen family patriarch poses for a photo with a cup strapped to his head. What appears to be a styrofoam cup. Not very green, Peter. I'm pretty certain this pic in some way comes from Peter's time on the "Nurse Jackie" set, as he's clearly wearing a lab coat and stethoscope. It's true that Carlisle Cullen is a doctor too, but if this were an image from the "Eclipse" set, Facinelli's face would be a whole lot paler. Anyway, hit

Sex and the City 2 attracts another hottie

Alice Eve has joined the cast of the in production Sex And The City 2, according to trade reports this morning. We're digging around to find info on Ms. Eve, and here it is. She is the daughter of Trevor Eve and Sharon Maughn, she was born in the year 1982, and her favourite colour is a peachey orange. Actually, I don't know if that last one is true. Eve has appeared in a bunch of Brit flicks including the James McAvoy starring Starter For Ten, and the Simon Pegg comedy Big Nothing, which it literally was. She does appear in the upcoming Harisson Ford flick Crossing Over though.
In Sex 2, Eve will play a nanny to Charlotte's baby, who apparently causes tension among the ladies. Shooting is underway on the chick flick, which is out next summer. Can't hardly wait.

'Twilight' Star Peter Facinelli Scrubs Up In Today's Daily TwitPic

"Twilight" star Peter Facinelli is no stranger to the Hippocratic oath. He may have been a loser jock back in his "Can't Hardly Wait" days, but Peter's matured over the years. He's a doctor now, a pale-faced vegetarian vampire doctor who sparkles in the sunlight. Neat-o.
He's got another doctor gig too, a more mundane one. At least in comparison to the one that requires him to fight his bloodlust all day in the hospital. Facinelli is one of the stars of "Nurse Jackie," a Showtime comedy series set -- you guessed it -- in a house of healing. In today's Daily TwitPic, you can see Facinelli in his doctor scrubs, ready for work. And you can tell it's not an "Eclipse" set pic because there's actual color in his face.

Jason Reitman, Edgar Wright And Diablo Cody Attacked By 'Old Dogs' Today In Twitter-Wood

Warmoth is out today. So @geminibros is here to steer the great ship Twitter-Wood. [insert requisite grumbling here]. [insert requisite praising of Warmoth's patience and skill in crafting this daily column here].
Today's Twitter-Wood report is light on variety, but with good cause. Bob Saget's new lady-love took the TwitPic prize, though Eliza Dushku followed close behind for shouting out to her "Dollhouse" fans. There's also a mini-update from "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli and a Brett Ratner burn from writer Brian Lynch. The highlight though is an exchange between pals Jason Reitman, Edgar Wright and Diablo Cody. Mr. Wright made some comments about the upcoming John Travolta/Robin Williams-starring family comedy "Old Dogs" and he caught some heat for it. Hilarity, of course, ensues. I'm @geminibros and this is your Twitter-Wood report for September 25, 2009.

'Bring It On' heads to Broadway: Which movie should be next?

They've already done Legally Blonde. Heathers is in the works. And now we get the news that the Citizen Kane of teen cheerleading comedies, Bring It On, is headed to the Great White Way.* It's a natural fit; the movie's already got enough dance numbers to fill a show, easy. (For any cave dwellers who aren't familiar, check out the trailer after the jump.)
Broadway versions of big movies are nothing new, but it seems like producers are on a slumber-party pic kick recently. These movies aren't part of the cinematic canon; they're the DVDs I put in when I'm home sick, the comedies I still quote with friends more than I'd like to admit. And you've got to think that if the stage shows of Heathers and Bring It On work as well as Legally Blonde did, there'll be more to come. So what should be next? Clueless? Never Been Kissed?

Barry Manilow Will Make You Swoon

»
Moviegoers of a certain age-- that is, my age-- will remember that Barry Manilow's "Mandy" was a sure sign of romance, an indication to Preston (Ethan Embry) that he should go back to Amanda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) at the end of Can't Hardly Wait. So maybe it's just because I'm a huge fan of that movie, but the idea of a romantic comedy based around Barry Manilow songs doesn't sound weird or fogey-ish to me at all.
According to Variety, the idea is to make a Love Actually-esque movie in which a group of Manilow fans are coming to Vegas to see him perform, and inevitably meet each other and fall in and out of love in the process. Yes of course this is cheesy, but so are most Manilow songs, and that's made him a very, very rich man. If it was good enough for Ethan Embry,

Warmoth is out today and, with him, Twitter-Wood's enduring fondness for former "Full House" stars. Nothing against Saget, Stamos and Coulier... but your regular Twitter-Wood contributor is their champion here. He'll be back tomorrow, so have no fear: "Full House" will live on at MTV Movies Blog.
So what's up today on the feed? Well, for starters "The State" veteran David Wain, currently in Sicily, had someone snap a super-cool photo of him. It was enough to edge out Paris Hilton's own photo, of a bunch of fancy cakes that she was sent. Presumably for free. In the world of text-only Tweets, Rainn Wilson dropped some knowledge about Pfizer and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Amber Benson revealed that she has a special connection with pigeons, especially the anorexic ones. "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli also had a pigeon run-in, while bird-watching for the elusive Twitter Bird. Meanwhile, Idris Elba

'Twilight' Star Peter Facinelli Eats A Horse Like The Cullen He Is

I think Warmoth took pity on my for his string of Stamos TwitPics, because today's Daily TwitPic is an underhanded softball pitch. An ostentatiously wrapped birthday gift. And it's not even my birthday!
So Peter Facinelli you know. I love him best for being the jock A-hole in "Can't Hardly Wait" -- seriously, watching that movie is like a who's who game of soon-to-be famous people -- but most of you readers probably recognize him as the Cullen clan leader in "Twilight." As you also know, the Cullen vampires don't dine on human flesh; they drink the blood of animals instead. In the TwitPic after the jump, catch Facinelli in action as he chows down during a break from a recent mall signing.
Remember that you can always get an early jump on the Daily TwitPic in Brian Warmoth's Twitter-Wood column.

The Blu-Ray Review: Go (1999)

Colin Jacobson reviews the 1999 Pulp Fiction wanabee.
If you look up "1990s" in the dictionary, Go
might be the movie pictured there. With its story of a particular party
culture, it just screams "Nineties" to me - or at least "second half of
the Nineties". Whether or not it still holds up a decade later remains
to be seen.
To stave off eviction, Ronna
(Sarah Polley) works shift after shift as a grocery clerk. To make
money, she picks up more time from Simon (Desmond Askew); he wants the
time off to make his first-ever visit to Vegas. Adam (Scott Wolf) and
Zack (Jay Mohr) needs drugs for an all-night rave, and they usually get
their supplies from Simon.
With him in Vegas, they ask
Ronna if she has any sources. She says she does and decides to score
some extra cash that way. She goes to drug dealer Todd

Warmoth's out, and he stuck me with the Twitter-Wood duties. He was here in the office only a few hours ago. Why didn't I force him to sit down and write it, under penalty of torture?!??!?! I don't have the routine down the way he does, so I hope you'll forgive what is sure to be a lesser Tw column. I try my best, but Warmoth's shoes are big ones to fill.
I think I hit the main beats. "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli 'fessed up to being a "Star Trek" fan after a follower called him out for referring to a lousy "Trek" fight from the original series. Also, Mandy Moore proved that she has good taste in music while Dax Shepard and Stephen Fry both made some stunning sociological observations. Plus a very special Twitter Pic of the Day from "Harry Potter" star and "Superbad" fan Tom Felton, who

John Hughes: Hero To The Misfit

Late filmmaker made a genre his own and showed a generation how to rebel against authority figures.
By Brian Warmoth
John Hughes in 1984

The suburban Chicago life of John Hughes' movies in the 1980s dressed some of the decade's most memorable high school characters in sweaters and raw adolescent anxiety. After defining the early careers of icons like Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall and Macaulay Culkin with melodramatic high school moments and manic families, however, he left them fully prepared to define a new type of cool and, along with it, their era.
The heroes of Hughes movies like Ferris Bueller and Uncle Buck made parents angry but winked at his films' fans, establishing alternative role models and geeky outcasts as his celebrated leads. For the generation that gave way to an environment where nerds and geeks can be cool, the stars of "Office Space" and "The

Discuss: For Love of Unknown Actors

I often come across news that makes me jump with excitement, and just as I go to whip up a post about it, I reconsider. Will anyone else feel the same joy upon reading that Joe Morton has been cast in a small prison indie? To many, he's nothing more than Miles Dyson from Terminator 2. Will anyone care about that cool, but unknown new actor that popped up on a few shows here or there? Or, does anyone else believe that Danny Huston in Clash of the Titans is much more alluring than Fiennes, Worthington, Neeson, and the rest?
Before I started writing about movies, my friends would dub me the expert because I would always pick out some face on the screen and do a little happy dance while the rest of the theater only oggled over the stars. But it wasn't so much knowing everyone and everything, but

Jennifer Love Hewitt Wants To Be In 'Twilight': The MTV Quote Of The Day

"Who is not Team Edward? There's not a girl in the world who is not Team Edward. If they're not, then they're not girls — they're aliens from another planet. Listen, Edward can fly you through the forest. He's like Aladdin with vampire teeth. I want a part [in the movies] so bad — any part is fine. I'll be the vampire who carries Robert Pattinson's luggage in the airport."
-Jennifer Love Hewitt discussing her steadfast devotion to the "Twilight" series at San Diego Comic-Con 2009. Hollywood Crush approves of that particular arrangement, especially considering it would create a de-facto "Can't Hardly Wait" reunion between Hewitt and Peter Facinelli. MTV News' Josh Horowitz did not bring up any future music plans with Hewitt, who hasn't released an album since 2002 but whose brand of punchy pop would probably play well in today's current climate (check out the woefully underrated single "Barenaked" for proof).

Jennifer Love Hewitt may be dating Jamie Kennedy, but that doesn't mean that the "Ghost Whisperer" star isn't pining for the man who plays Edward Cullen. You see, Twilighter Hewitt is all about Team Edward.
"Who's not Team Edward?" she asked MTV News at Comic-Con, where she and her "Ghost Whisperer" co-stars talked about the fifth season of their supernatural CBS series. "There is not a girl in the world who's not Team Edward! Have you met girls who are not Team Edward? Well, they are not girls! They're aliens from another planet who should not be allowed to exist."
Unfortunately for Hewitt, she didn't get a chance to meet Robert Pattinson at Comic-Con,
