Year: 2006 (Page 61 of 228)

Do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do ya?

At last, brilliantbutcancelled.com brings us just the thing to cure those end-of-summer blues: It’s a dead pool, but without the guilt. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy sending Skeet Ulrich (odds: 39 to 1) or Anne Heche (odds: 4 to 1) to an early grave, secure in the knowledge that they’ll resurrect themselves in plenty of time to bother us with another poorly executed pilot next fall?

Sign on for Deathwatch 2006, and place your bets as to which of the networks’ new fall series will be cancelled each week. Guess correctly, and you can even win an iPod or a new flatscreen HDTV…but of course, the real reward lies in knowing that you’re smarter than a network programming executive.

Celebrities just can’t open their mouths anymore without annoying Republicans.

In the October issue of Esquire, Brad Pitt announces that he and Angelina Jolie “will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able,” swiftly answering any lingering questions about his position on gay marriage and simultaneously making Jennifer Aniston feel like shit because he couldn’t be bothered to make a political statement before marrying (and subsequently divorcing) her.

The only good things that ever came out of the high school experience

EW Popwatch has assembled their list of the 50 best high school movies of all time, and they pretty much nailed it. Everybody from James Dean to the Ramones is here, with slashers and wizards mixed in as well. I am especially pleased to see that “Brick” (currently sitting at #1 on my Movies of 2006) placed as high as it did, and Buffybot will be pleased to see “Can’t Buy Me Love” earned a spot as well. No one, however, will be able to successfully convince me that “Sixteen Candles” deserved to be ranked 49th overall. Wrongheaded revisionist history, that’s all it is.

One movie that didn’t make the cut that I always had a soft spot for: The Last American Virgin.

A classic? Hardly. But one of the few at the time that dared to take a more dramatic approach to the teenage experience. I crushed on Diane Franklin big time, even more so when she was in…

Holy shit. “Better Off Dead” didn’t make the cut, either. Are you kidding me? Forget everything I said. This list sucks. What say you, Tracy?

“You know what they say about the early bird, Mr. M.”

Freaking sweet.

Props to Mike Connolly for placing me in the loop on this video.

The back story, at least according to the site hosting it, is that when Edgar Bronfman, Jr., gained ownership of Universal Studios, he got into some odd marketing campaign practices, one of which is this rare employee orientation video that enlightened people about how things were going to change under new management. It was commissioned to be written and directed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, but Bronfman didn’t like it, so they scrapped it.

Apparently, Bronfman doesn’t know comedy. This thing is HILARIOUS…and it’s got more cameos than you can shake a stick at, none of which I want to spoil for you, except to say that they’re major names. Seriously. There’s also a running gag about the studio’s new connection with Seagram’s Wine Coolers that’s really funny.

Johnny the Ugly

Yes, it’s another incriminating photo of John Travolta.

You can be fairly certain the former Vinnie Barbarino won’t be getting any open-mouthed man-kisses in this getup, modeled on the set of his “Hairspray” remake.

Yeesh. John, you are not a pretty (nor a remotely convincing) woman. Even Harvey Fierstein had a certain perverse charm in the role, but this…this is just embarrassing.
