You may have heard about Evil Dead: The Musical, but what about Waterworld: The Musical? /Film reader Mack J sent over this teaser trailer for the musical stage adaptation which stars Patrick Warburton (aka The Tick). But don’t get too excited, apparently it is only a viral video to draw attention to Made for Each Other, a movie starring Warburton, Danny and Christopher Masterson, Samm Levine, and Bijou Phillips.

Those who saw The Simpsons Movie know that Homer Simpson’s oft-advertised singing of the song “Spiderpig” encapsulated either everything that was awesome with that film, or everything that was wrong with the Simpsons franchise as a whole (depending on how big of a fan you were at that point). I happen to fall in the latter category. Apparently, police from Blairgowrie, Perthshire may agree with me.
After a summer night of drinking, 22-year old David Mullen broke curfew while on bail and assaulted a police officer, which netted him eight months of jail.  But on top of that, while sitting in the police van, he started singing the song “Spiderpig,” which [...]

/Film reader Barry J wonders why in movies, all jackets from the future look the same. Exhibit A is Marty McFly Jr’s jacket from Back the the Future Part II, and Exhibit B is young James T Kirk’s jacket from JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek. What do you think?

/Film reader Peter R sent over today’s PVP web comic might be politically incorrect, “But C’mon, we’re all thinking it!”

Our friends at The Playlist found this animated mash-up on the forums. I found it too funny not to post.

Last month Bill Murray suggested that a new Ghostbusters film should feature a “girl Ghostbuster”. A lot of people thought it was a stupid idea, including our own Hunter Stephenson. But not the Jacksonville Jaguar Cheerleaders, who appeared in costume as the Ghostbusters at a game last week. They even appeared with the Stay Puffed Marshmallow man.

A lot more people know Roger Ebert than probably have ever read one of his reviews. So it might come as a shock to most how extremely funny Ebert can be (take his book “Your Movie Sucks” for instance). A few weeks ago we focused on one of Ebert’s Movie Answer Man column’s where he responded in computer abbreviation speak to a fan of Disaster movie.
This week Ebert reviewed Tru Loved, a movie in which he only sat through the first eight minutes. It received one star. The funny part of the whole thing is that Ebert wrote a full review criticizing the film, and doesn’t reveal the fact until [...]

The My Zombie Pinup Calendar is described as “Gil Elvgrin meets Night of the Living Dead”, placing hot bloody undead woman in horror movie-like exteriors.
“This 13 month calendar is stuffed with more dead sexy girls than you can fit in a shallow grave. We dug up the idea of the vintage 1950’s pin-up and hit it over the head with a shovel. Let yourself get infected by these bloody gore-gous women who are just dying to get under your skin. A mere 1,000 of these high quality Gigantanormouse 12X12 calendars were made.”
Most of the photos were shot in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. Check out more photos [...]

On Halloween, two gals named Mina Karimi and Kara Suhey will attempt to recreate the legendary hijacked parade from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off down to the ’80s minutiae and extras like geriatric Miss Chicago contestants and bearded bankers. Cameron and his Red Wings jersey are already a lock. Under the Tumblr and moniker, Project Bueller, they are recruiting tens of thousands of participants and would like /Film readers residing in New York or visiting for the spooky holiday to join in.
After a bit of rescheduling, the epic shindig will go down as part of the 35th Village Halloween Parade. For more info, memorize the lyrics to The Beatles’s cover of [...]

The poster for the Katherine Heigl/Gerard Butler romantic comedy The Ugly Truth is actually kinda funny. Also, am I the only one who wishes that the marketing department would create more minimalist clean and simple poster designs?

What if movie posters were more honest? What if the theatrical one-sheet wasn’t filled with floating heads of the main stars, but instead featured all the brand tie-ins and product placements up-front?

The Antrepo Design team created a set of vancas posts which are just that. I somehow doubt Hollywood will pick up on this concept.

Now if only they would’ve created a poster for Michael Bay’s The Island… Although for that film, I have a feeling that all the product tie-ins wouldn’t be able to fit on one normal sized poster.

Okay so Superman Returns didn’t make Dark Knight money and Clark is rightfully pissed off. But that wasn’t enough cause for Supes to tamper with The Dark Knight’s Bat Symbol…
I’m not sure the origin of this picture. We found it on Superpunch, who found it on Say it Backwards, who found it on a random message board. Someone points out a visable mistake: that the superman symbol would project backwards into the clouds. Or could it be Bizarro who was the one who was behind the shenanigans?

Pretty much.
Thanks to JA for the tip (and the Internet).

On last night’s South Park, Stan went to see Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull only to find George Lucas and Steven Spielberg raping Indiana Jones (literally). Check it out after the jump.

We’ve featured Jester and Jolin’s incredible fan-created Transformers concept art in the past (The Dark Knight Tumbler, Trailblazer and Jetfire). Recently the duo created concept art based on the Armadillo, the space drilling vehicle from Michael Bay’s Armageddon. The new autobot apparently even has a myspace page.
