There are a lot of movies on, about, or near Christmas. But why waste time watching the bad ones? (Unless they are really bad, like Santa Claus vs. The Martians.) Rottentomatoes.com has the rundown on the best Christmas movies.
Yes, Die Hard makes the list.
I think I just lost my appetite.
IGN Movies has compiled a list of the top 10 deaths in the SAW horror movie franchise.
Read it if you want to relive your memories or want to avoid ever seeing these films but want to know what happens. Personally, I couldn’t get past SAW II.
Or if you just want to get in the Halloween spirit, check it out.
Proceed at your own risk.
Blech!
I haven’t read the book, but I’ve read articles ABOUT the book, and I DID see the Sex and The City episode where they quoted the quote that brought the book about, and that’s almost like the same thing.
Here’s the trailer for the star-studded feature, He’s Just Not That Into You, including our very own Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore and even Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck? Really? I thought he stopped doing movies after Gigli. Or maybe we were just supposed to ignore him.
I’m kind of excited. As much as I hate the whole boy vs. girl dating world, I think it may be a good message for all the boys out there to stop PLAYING THESE GAMES AND IF YOU REALLY LIKED ME, YOU’D CALL ME BACK BY NOW. Just kidding. Haha. Do you like me? I really want to know. Not cause I like you all that much. I just want to know why you haven’t returned any of my messages since we last went out. Just call me. Okay? Please?
Everyone’s been talking about how it’s the end of the world, with the stock markets crashing, the Earth continuing to heat up and how Beverly Hills Chihuahua has topped the weekend box office for the second time in a row.
Really, people? A talking dog movie? The Chihuahuas aren’t even that cute!
Unfortunately, we learned that our very own Scheduling Director, Kathleen, ventured out this past weekend to watch the movie. Really, she paid cold, hard cash to watch this movie.
Check out her defense review after the jump!
Welcome to Movies With Tim (you know, our office coordinator guy), which we’ve decided to showcase on the WBlog because we thought we’d save you the hassle of wasting money on movie tickets when our very own Tim ventures out to the theaters at least once a week and can tell you what’s worth watching!
Here, we (Brendan or I) will interview Tim to catch up on the latest box office openings and see how they turned out.
This week, Tim actually watched How To Lose Friends And Alienate People.
As you can see, the WBlog is NOT a priority for Tim and therefore, our interview will have to wait.
Just kidding, here’s what he had to say.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the whole motivation behind advancing technology is to make the process as small and as fast as possible. The thinner, the smaller, the faster, the sleaker, the better.
Right? But please explain this to me why Japanese mobile phone provider, Willcom, recently demonstrated their latest invention, the Kuma Phone, which is basically a stuffed teddy bear cell phone. You simply insert your SIM card into the bear (hopefully in its butt) and then dial away.
You can save up to four speed dial numbers in the bear, one in each paw, which are activated by pinching internal sensors. It vibrates and makes custom noises for incoming calls, which can be answered and finished by pressing the tail.
This is great. Not only can I cuddle my new cell phone to sleep, but I can also look like a complete idiot by holding a giant stuffed animal to my head every time I get a call. I can also only save up to four phone numbers, which is perfect, because I only have four friends to call. Sign me up.
Apparently Willcom designed this concept phone to appeal to women, but I know I won’t be the first to say that this is the worst idea ever. You want to appeal to women? Stay away from the stuffed animals. We are not at a carnival. And we all do not collect Beanie Babies.
Muppet fans, rejoice! Jason Segel, writer/star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also star of sitcom How I Met Your Mother and also like the awesome boyfriend ever in Undeclared, is penning a feature script for a new Muppets movie, where our marionette cast reunites for a final variety show.
Yay for Jason Segel! Who can forget that momentous scene in his character’s puppet play where Dracula morosely sings “Die! Die! [pause] I can’t.” Hmmm…I guess you had to be there.
Yay for Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy! Seriously, if there’s one thing missing in our superficial, Twitter and iPhone-inundated world where a photograph of Miley Cyrus can cause an uproar….it’s PUPPETS.
Rumor has it that if Segel’s feature film does well, executives hope to bring the classic Muppet Show back to television screens.
My only question is…What? No love for The Muppet Babies? (I can still sing the theme song by heart. And break glass while doing so.) That cartoon molded my childhood, and to this day, I wonder what Nanny really looked like above her green striped stockings.
