Our First Look At Robert Rodriguez’s Next Twisted Kids’ Movie

I’d completely forgotten, after watching Sayid carry around a jar of human testicles in Planet Terror, that Robert Rodriguez made sweet kiddie films. His latest, Shorts, follows the strange residents of privately owned Black Falls. In Black Falls all the houses are identical and everyone works for the corporation Black Box. Main character discovers a…

Studio Pushes Ahead With Venom Spin Off

Two writers have been singled out to create a slobbery faced Venom spin off. My stance is pretty simple: no Topher, no thanks. Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese told reporters they’ve been selected to write that Venom script. Although they weren’t able to say much about it, they also rushed to reassure fans…

Sabretooth Gets A Face Full Of Shiny Wolverine Claws

Stabtastic new photos from Wolverine show a whole lot of Sabretooth getting in Logan’s face. And Gambit is looking sassier than ever. The handful of action shots leave the impression that most of this movie will be a male-bonding camping film, which isn’t a bad thing. Look at all the muscley light-bulb-grabbing action! Wolverine will…

Twilight Fans Stab, Choke, And Beat Haters Into Submission

This is what happens when you create a book/movie about teens sexually suppressing themselves whilst whimpering and dry-humping their brains out. All that pent-up emotion has turned fans into violent, horny Twihards.

What Is The Observer Trying To Tell Us About American Idol?

If you paid close attention to American Karaoke Idol last night, you may have noticed The Observer planted in the front, only furthering our suspicion that Adam Lambert is truly a guylinered alien.

Eminem’s New Star Trek Music Video Takes A Bat’leth To Planet Womyn

It’s been ages since Eminem decided to insult us all with a sexist, homophobic, celebrity skewing, Star Trek-referencing rap video. Em and Dre put their best Trekker faces forward, and beam up to planet lesbian. Oh dear – looks like Eminem has decided to don the Vulcan wig to attack Samantha Ronson’s planet of stereotyped…
