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?

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.

Welcome to the suck: K-Fed’s “Lose Control” video

I am shocked, SHOCKED, that I beat Roy Munson to this one.

The video pretty much speaks for itself, but I would like to comment on a couple of things.
1) Kevin runs out of things to say at the three-minute mark, so they drag that lame-ass instrumental track for another 43 seconds, in order to give it a radio-friendly length. Don’t kid yourself, people; this song’s never getting played on the radio.
2) Is there anything funnier than someone bragging about a tax bracket that he only reached through marriage?

Click on it. You know you want to.

Good things come to those who get disemboweled onscreen

Here’s a show that will give the MTV Movie Awards a run for its money: The Chainsaw Awards, a joint production between Fuse and Fangoria, airing on Fuse Sunday, October 22nd.

Sounds like a joke, right? But one quick look at the categories and nominees, and it’s clear these people have done their homework. Okay, some of the music video categories are a joke – anything that threatens to hand any award that’s not a Razzie to She Wants Revenge is a joke – but I’ll definitely tune in for Best Death Scene (which, for my money, is a tossup between “Snakes on a Plane” and “Saw II”) and Bloodiest Beatdown. Get your freak on, kids.

To vote for your favorites, go to fuse.tv between September 1st and (oh, geez) Friday, October 13th.

Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong

evilbong

We just had to link to this piece from Cinematical about hacktastic auteur Charles Band’s next movie, “Evil Bong.”

Cinematical got the headline right, but Band has clearly missed an opportunity if he is honestly making a movie about an evil bong, starring Tommy Chong, but does not intend to call it “Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong.”

You’ve got Tommy Chong. You’ve got an evil bong. Why on earth would you call your movie anything other than “Tommy Chong and the Evil Bong.” Rolls right off the tongue, with a lovely rhyming cadence.

And based on that title alone, everyone who becomes aware of this movie is either in or out…just like that other perfectly-named blockbuster-in-the-making, “Snakes on a Plane.”

Now, granted, Band may be avoiding the inclusion of Chong’s name in the title because he wants to protect the egos of his other stars…or because Chong’s character in the movie has a name that doesn’t rhyme with bong…or because Band simply doesn’t enjoy a good Chong-bong rhyme like the rest of us.

But calling this thing “Evil Bong” waters down what could otherwise be a craptastic title for the ages.

Uhhhh….huh-huh. I said “bongwater.”
