What if movie Captain America had the body of comic book Captain America?

Superheroes are supposed to have Olympian physiques, but this is plum disturbing. I chanced upon this image while writing today’s piece about Deadpool. As you can see here, Ultraculture has applied the body proportions — not unlike Rob Liefeld’s infamous 1990s illustration of busty Captain America — to Chris Evans’ human frame. The super-soldier serum…

Is The Walking Dead: The Movie in the works?

Rumor now has it that AMC wants to make a movie version of Robert Kirkman’s comic. They’ve already got a very successful television series — we can easily see how this zombie show could spark a two-hour, extra-gory flick. Bloody Disgusting reports that AMC is pursuing a Walking Dead movie, and points out that the…

13 clips from Cosmopolis show Robert Pattinson’s post-apocalyptic haircut

We’re intrigued by the seemingly simple plot of David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis: Robert Pattinson (playing a wealthy Wall Street heir) goes to get a haircut. But like all things Cronenberg, it’s going to be infinitely more complicated than that. Just watch this massive collection of sing-song dialogue, and try and divine what’s really going on: New…

This Is Why People Pirate

Do you know why people hate movie studios? Why, increasingly, they’re driven to download content illegally, even though they’re perfectly willing to pay for it? Because of crap like this: LOS ANGELES, CA. (August 14, 2012) -– The world of Pandora has never looked better as over 33 million AVATAR Facebook fans were the first…

Behold Star Wars, re-envisioned as a 1980s teen movie

Italian comic artist Denis Medri has regaled us with some smashing alternate history superheroes before — we mean you, greaser Batman. And Medri’s latest series of sketches is a charming addition to that familiar “Star Wars reimagined as a Western/samurai epic/QVC toaster advertisement” fan art tradition. https://gizmodo.com/meet-the-entire-cast-of-1950s-greaser-batmans-gotham-ci-5911595 https://gizmodo.com/star-wars-rebooted-as-a-western-with-humanized-droids-5767277 https://gizmodo.com/samurai-star-wars-characters-out-of-a-movie-too-awesom-5883772 Medri has recast the characters from…

Terry Gilliam will finally reveal the meaning of existence

For the past five years, Terry Gilliam has been trying to make a mysterious film called The Zero Theorem, about a cubicle-dwelling man who’s trying to solve an equation that holds the purpose of existence. (Or lack thereof.) We’d thought Zero Theorem was dead in the water back in 2009, when Billy Bob Thornton was…

The Subtitles of Chinese Bootleg Movies Are Even More Unbelievably Hilarious Than We Thought

When we saw the subtitles of a bootleg copy of The Avengers, we couldn’t believe how outrageous they were. The subtitles butchered the English language to the point that it felt like a whole different movie. Turns out, a lot of bootleg movies have subtitles that bad. Just check these out. https://gizmodo.com/watching-a-chinese-bootleg-copy-of-the-avengers-with-su-5932791 Funny or Die…

The “sensational” movie that ended the career of Forbidden Planet‘s director

In 1956, Fred M. Wilcox was at the top of his game in Hollywood. His iconic science fiction movie Forbidden Planet was one of the top box office earners that year. Full of innovative special effects and weird electronic music, the movie remains one of the most influential science fiction films of the twentieth century.…

The Origin Story You Won’t Hear for Timothy Green‘s Dirt Baby

Timothy Green isn’t just a little boy who grew out of a bit of dirt in one lonely couple’s backyard. Instead, the dirt baby has a secret mythological history, that no one knows about (because it wasn’t included in the movie).

Poorly translated subtitles from a Chinese bootleg of The Avengers are amazing

Bootleggers often and inadvertently take creative liberties with their pirated wares — remember when Thor guest-starred on Game of Thrones? A similar phenomenon occurred with a Chinese bootleg copy of The Avengers acquired by Tumblr user Bileto. https://gizmodo.com/in-the-bootleg-game-of-thrones-thor-hangs-out-with-hou-5914374 In these tenuously translated subtitles, Thor and Loki (a.k.a. “Rocky”) are half-cousins/half-brothers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are questing…

Forget the “Busy Trap” — you’re trapped way worse than that

There’s been a popular meme going around lately about the “Busy Trap” — the idea that we’re all keeping busy with meaningless junk like checking our email or doing random tasks, and that this is somehow a lifestyle choice. But a new essay by Mark Fisher, “Time Wars,” makes a persuasive case that our chronic…

Rebooted RoboCop script reveals Alex Murphy is now a Transformer

We’ve been pretty excited for the RoboCop remake, especially with the recent casting of Michael K. Williams, who joins the already stellar cast of Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Hugh Laurie, and Jackie Earle Haley. But an early leaked script of the Jose Padilha movie has cast a very dark shadow over this production. Drew…
