Zac Efron owns a DeLorean, and his favorite movie is Back to the Future. This makes us hate him a little less.

Let’s pray some Hollywood executive doesn’t read this and get any “brilliant” ideas. [cinematical]

    hey film fans, i know its the wrong blog-theme but i wouldnt know were else to post it.

    marc forster is working on a new arcane project. he has a secret sponsor who gave him the chance to launch a new venture. not sure about its coming out but i gues it will be end of may or beginning of june...
  • Rebecca
    Hey megan, Just read something on www.tobiashorka.ch, showing Marc Forster IN FRONT of the camera. He seems to be the leading actor... Any additional rumours much appreciated!!!!
  • todays swiss press has interviewed this tobias horka. check out www.20min.ch he is quite sure (almost confirms) that mf is working on a new project and that he will be featured in front of the camera. awesome!
  • luke_test
    How many ad campaigns does it take to get children to drink milk?
  • I'm going to print and frame that picture of Nic Cage and Jay Baruchel. Then I'm going to print and frame that picture of Sylvester Stallone. Then I'm going to laugh because their facial expressions are priceless.
  • cage has the face of a man who is definitely thinking, "how'd it get burned? Hw'd it get BURNED?! HOWDITGETBUURRRNNED!!!!"
  • freemachine
    I wish my lawn was Emo...so it would cut itself...bata-bing!
  • Josh
    Sounds like the Star Trek score is going to be a huge disappointment.
  • Yeah. because four 30 seconds clips are all you need to judge how a score will be.
  • Josh
    Funny, i can judge from 16 words and a number that you're a gigantic douche bag.
  • Are you looking at the mirror when you say that? Because it t takes a certain kind of people to insult another person, just because he pointed out the irrationality of judging a film score, that's way over 60 minutes long, based on 2 minutes of music.
  • andy
    the bits I heard sounded pretty good and the end credits theme gave me chills.
  • I'm not a fan of the theme right now, but it might be more developed in the full score. You can hear a different version on the official website. But I think there will be more melodies in the score to grab onto.
  • edc
    sounds like josh's posts are huge disappointments.
  • dxr
    Those uncomfortable plot summaries are hilarious!

    BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.

    BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA: Redneck trucker kills Chinese immigrants.

    RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK: American yahoo murders soldiers and desecrates religious artifacts for money.

  • Hail page II !!

    Peter, let's incorporate a Page III...
  • FreedomisPopular
    THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST: Mel Gibson fulfills fantasy of showing a Jew beaten to a bloody pulp and killed on-screen.

    ROTFLMAO!!! :D
  • That Rubik's Cube Allspark is actually a pretty clever tie in product.
  • lol good one
  • It surprises me that the "GOT MILK" ads are still running. seriously, they need to stop. It was cute in the 90s, but not anymore. I'm sick of them.
  • Mr. X
    I think you missed the point on the Wolverine message. Milk makes your bones strong, and I believe the compairison here is just that. Milk makes your bones strong....alas not in the extreme way they are conveying.
  • And yeah they should have a pic with a 10 year old girl with C-cups from all the growth hormones that are in the milk.
  • WATCHMEN: Homosexual destroys New York, blames God.

    Hah, funny.
  • mike
    Hahaha under where it say X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it states, "only in theatres.".....lol not really
    -butters.
  • Had a shitty morning so far but Zooey Deschanel can just about brighten anyone's day.
  • Dr_Gonzo
    Drag me to Hell is a PG13, you have got to be shitting me... Worst news ever.
  • I'm all for Zooey, all the way for her. Zac Efron starring in a Back to the Future remake is probably the scariest remake idea ever. That and Dakota Fanning playing Regan in an Exorcist remake.
  • starscream9289
    I've been drinking milk all my life!
    Where the hell are my claws?!?!?!
  • freemachine
    After seeing "Observe and Report", which was awesome IMO, I walked over to the Borders adjacent to the theater to check out some books. I saw those Twilight candies nearly fell over dead out of laughter. Who are they kidding? If you're marketing to Emo kids wouldn't it be better to sell them a box of razor blades imprinted with "BITE ME", "LAMB", "I'M SO GOTH I SHIT BATS"?
  • "I'M SO GOTH I SHIT BATS" haaa I LOLed at that one. Is the candy actually glittery? 'Cause that'd be weirdddd. Also, Observe and Report IS awesome IMO too.
  • musicsoup
    what can we do to keep efron away from back to the future? can we start a petition? kidnapping? can we resort to murder? we must let it be known that no matter what efron wants to do, we don't want him to do it. how can we stop him?
  • So I guess it's only me that realized that Wolverine's skeleton is protected by Adamantium, and therefore doesn't require calcium to strengthen his bones, because they're as strong as they could be. Also, if his bones were weak, they could easily repair themselves.
  • I love Hugh Jackman, but seriously..those shoulders make me want to puke.
  • yeah, that beefcake image with popped out veins in muscles is nasty. It does nothing for me...
  • Infrafan
    Love me some Zooey Deschanel. Those realistic plot summaries are great. That Batman game keeps looking better and better. Is anyone else just a little worried about the PG-13 rating for Drag Me To Hell? Not to say a PG-13 movie can't be scary, but still.
  • Yeah, I don't remember there being a fully orchestral version of Alexander Courage thematic material.
  • I heard Drag Me to Hell is going to play at Cannes. Great news.
  • Palmer
    Zooey Deschanel is everywhere! And, I don't have a problem with that.
  • I'll drink milk if I get Wolverine for a day.
  • If not for Page II, I wouldn't be able to get my daily "EXPANDABLES" fix !
  • Mr. X
    Thats called Irony
  • Mayroth
    gone to drink some milk
  • The new Batman game looks great and the Wolverine poster is terrible. It doesn't make me want to drink milk anymore than I usually do.
  • I don't want to drink milk more than I used to looking at Wolverine like that.
