Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green get married!
YAYYYY!!I'm so happy, which is kind of surprising because I'm in love with Megan Fox.
But they've been dating FOREVER! And Megan Fox became a SUPERSTAR after they started dating. And you'd think... a super hot chick like Megan becoming a huge star opens so many doors and she could have anyone! But she stuck it out with Brian Austin Green, who I also love because he was in the late Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I'm so happy for them and I just wanted to mention it!
Rebecca aka Emily VanCamp is Leaving Brothers & Sisters!
Seriously? What. The. Fuck!?
Emily Vancamp is leaving Brothers and Sisters next season. She will appear in only TWO episodes apparently from what I've read.
What is going on with this show? They're getting rid of all of my favorite characters! There's going to be no one left in this family!
What I don't get is Rebecca and Justin just got married this past season, around mid-season! I don't think they've even been married for 10 episodes. What the hell are they going to do?
They got rid of Tommy (Balthazar Getty), Julia (Sarah Jane Morris), Joe (John Pyper-Feruson) (...though I don't really care about that one), Robert (Rob Lowe), and now Rebecca. And I also read that Kitty (Calista Flockhart aka Harrison Ford's new bride) will be underplayed meaning her screen time will be "severely cut." Ugh. I'm so aggravated.
The thing about Rebecca is that she came into the series late season one and fans of the show didn't care for her, but she finally grew on them. Grrr.
But... Luc (Gilles Marini) is apparently joining the cast for the fifth season. That should make Dancing With the Stars fans happy. I could care less. And they're also considering bringing Tommy back, which, hopefully, will bring my Julia back! ;)
This next season better BLOW ME AWAY! At least Nora, Kevin, Scotty, Sarah, and Justin will still be around. But it's not enough for me.
Weight Limit for Harry Potter ride. My thoughts...
The idiot Fox reporter said "Disney" when he should've said "Universal"? Did you catch that?
Okay, so... I'm sorry. But I agree with what Universal is doing. No one over the weight of 275 (or whatever they said) should be allowed to ride.
The image below shows what the vehicle for the ride actually is and this was the best and only picture I could find. I'm not positive if that one is the exact car for the ride, but I know that it is something very close to that...
So I can understand why they're restricting weight. They're just taking precautions. Passenger weight has the potential to seriously harm the ride maneuverability. That thing's swinging around 10 hours a day and carrying countless amounts of guests. Weight limit - for the time being - is necessary.
And this may be mean and I'm sorry, but 275 pounds is a generous limit. Make sure you reread that last sentence...I did not say GINORMOUS, I said generous. You shouldn't be over that weight anyways... It's unhealthy. So for those heading to Universal and want to ride this ride which I heard was amazing, make sure you're under 275 by that time. :)
Happy Birthday Nikki Jordan!

Harry Potter is better! It's science!!
It's official. Harry Potter has been credited as BETTER than stupid Twilight. And this is legit.
E! Online (naturally) took it into their hands to do an analysis of the two series to decide which is better. They analyzed them in 5 different categories. Here they are and the results:
Movies - Critics --> Harry Potter
Movies - Box Office --> Harry Potter
Books --> Harry Potter
Theme Parks --> Harry Potter
Stars --> Twilight
Harry wins. Suck it Twilight.
Random Tweets!
I'm gonna try something else. Every Saturday I'm gonna TRY to remember to post my most random tweets from the week. They should be pretty funny and random. Here we go!!Okay, what the eff kind of face is this--> :3 <-- is that supposed to be a walrus?!
When I get married I'm going to have a hyphenated name like Leibfritz-Somethinzi. Like Catherine Zeta-Jones, Maddox Jolie-Pitt or Scooby-Doo
I live the song "One Day" in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. It's so magical! Ima loser.
"We're going to have a beautiful garden party and you're not invited." #potc
Oh no... I'm laughing at George Lopez! Ugh. I'm communist!!
Let's all have sex. Right now!
Omg is Haley in jail?! Omg I need to stop watching this. I stopped when Lucas and Peyton left. #oth
You're the boss and I'm the nanny... You give me a raise and I'll give you one...!! Haha.
I need like a button that zaps people every time they piss me OFF!

Movie Review: Shutter Island
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.This wasn't terrible actually.
Going into it, I thought I wouldn't understand it. Everybody who had seen it before was telling me how you really need to pay attention and I may need to watch it a second time.
Well, I (with the help of Wikipedia) understood it perfectly. Okay, let me rephrase. I watched the movie, understood most of it, and went to Wikipedia to read the entire plot to help fill in the wholes that I missed.
The movie wasn't actually that hard to follow. My problem was that I second guessed myself. I knew the movie would end up revealing that Leonardo DiCaprio was insane all along. I actually double second guessed myself. I knew that Leonardo DiCaprio's character was insane all along, however, I thought the tables would turn a second time making him actually not insane somehow. I thought that making Leo insane all along was just too simple of a storyline for a Martin Scorsese movie. I was wrong... they went simple.
The one of the big things that confused me about the movie was that we saw Leo and Mark Ruffalo arrive to the island on the ferry. But if they were just playing along with his fantasy, does that mean that that never happened? And a second thing: we saw Mark Ruffalo's body off the side of the cliff on a rock, dead. Then he just casually walks into the room when Leo's talking to the doctor. Does that mean see his body dead off the side of the cliff never happened?
Otherwise it was a great thinking movie. Leonardo deserves an Oscar nod (and hopefully the Oscar...finally). And I also enjoyed seeing Michelle Williams again. We don't see her much anymore. I've also decided that Emily Mortimer is really pretty in an awkward way. Random. Lol.
Album Artwork!
Since I find a lot of music that isn't official, such as Britney Spears' version of Telephone, I'm required to make album artwork for them. Feel free to take if you like.

Toy Story's Moving Up!
3 days ago, I wrote an entry about Toy Story 3's amazing spot at number 11 on IMDb.com's Top 250 Movies.It's moving up.
Retro Review: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.For some reason, I had the undying urge to watch this movie. So I did and I really wanted to talk about my problems with the movie. There are just so many and as much as I don't want this review to be solely on the bad stuff, it's kind of hard to avoid talking about them. Usually a upside to the movie leads to a downfall. So here we go...
Sam's mom is hilarious. She was hilarious in the first one and the studio realized it and brought it back ten-fold in this one. It was too much. Her drug use? What the eff was that about? We spent like five minutes chasing after her while she was high when that time could've been better used for action. She still was hilarious, but it was a little much.
Racism in this movie was horrifying! What the eff was up with those stupid twins?! Whose idea was that!? That writer should be fired. And I personally believe that Michael Bay is partially responsible. It's his movie, he has to take the heat. These two "don't read," have gold teeth, and Luckily, the twin Transformers have been axed from the next movie. Thank Jesus.
To branch off the racism... The Decepticon, Wheelies (the remote-controlled car), that Megan Fox captures and he turns good and helps them. The stupid little thing talked like a gangster and sweared and humped Megan Fox's leg. Like, why?! So stupid!
That bastard guy that was "appointed by the President" is a douchebag! President Obama would NEVER hire scum like that! Haha. Just saying.
I didn't care for Sam's roommate. He was annoying and a dick in the beginning. Why would you want him coming on the adventure with you? I didn't care for the humanized Decepticon either. I guess it was possible for the story to create her, but I felt it was unrealistic (although I suppose giant robots that turn into cars from outer space is unrealistic also).
The action scenes were awesome. When the descending Decepticons shot down into the aircraft carry... I was speechless. That looked so real! The one scene I didn't like was the opening battle in China. The battle was fine and whatever but there was sooo much going on on screen and I had a hard time figuring out what was going on. Too much commotion.
Otherwise the movie was pure entertainment. The story was lamer than the first, but still good fun. Shia and Megan are amazing and should be together in real life. Lol.
Speaking of Megan, if you haven't heard she will not be reprising her role in Transformers 3. Which makes me want to cry. They're actually replacing her. The character Mikaela Banes will still be in the movie, but instead of Megan Fox portraying the character they hired model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Really sad. :(

Movie Review: Die Hard
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.Ugh... my mom was right... this movie is good. Lol.
For years she's been telling me that I have to see this movie and I was like 'no, no, that's stupid... Bruce Willis is stupid... Everything is stupid.' Haha. But, at age 20, I decided to give it a chance and I rented it.
It was very, very good.
Bruce Willis is NOT my favorite actor, but this movie worked for him. I enjoyed watching him run around and kick ass.
And Alan Rickman was awesome! But you gotta feel bad for the guy because he's extremely good at portraying bad guys. How would you feel if you were told that you were only good at playing assholes? He hasn't been in a lot of HUGE movies but he was the villain in this movie, Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series, and that grouchy caterpillar from the newest Alice in Wonderland.
I went to see Live Free or Die Hard at a drive in when it came out in 2007 and it didn't really interest me and we ended up leaving halfway through the movie, but after seeing this I'm really eager to see that one again after seeing Die Hard 2 and Die Hard With a Vengeance. (FYI: A fifth one is set to be released in 2012.)
So, Die Hard... GREAT ACTION MOVIE!

3rd Toy Story currently #11 on IMDb's Top 250
Haha. Check that out. I love it!
I haven't been this shocked since the Dark Knight was in the #1 spot when it was released in July 2008. But I am kind of enjoying this.
I know it won't last long, but Toy Story 3 is currently at the #11 spot on the Internet Movie Database's Top 250 Movies (according to users). For that movie to be up that high with only 9,500 votes is amazing! But it won't be there for long. Like I said, The Dark Knight was #1 the day after it was released and now it was pushed down to #10.
Now, Toy Story 3 was amazing!! ...and I probably would put it ahead of half of the movies (*cough* The shitty Godfather *cough*), but it won't be there long. That's the one thing I don't like about IMDb.com: idiots vote. I mean Shaun of the Dead, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rocky, Kill Bill 1 and 2, and Sin City are on that list. Dumb!
But Pixars movies usually do make the list and do really well. Only two movies are not on the list.
Pixar Films Current Standings:
>> Toy Story 3 (2010) - #11
>> WALL-E (2008) - #47
>> Up (2009) - #83
>> Toy Story (1995) - #153
>> Finding Nemo (2003) - #154
>> Ratatouille (2007) - #167
>> The Incredibles (2004) - #183
>> Toy Story 2 (1999) - #243
>> Monsters, Inc. (2001) - #245
Not on the Top 250:
>> A Bug's Life (1998)
>> Cars (2006)
...and I can understand why those two are not on the list. Owen Wilson's shitty voice screwed Cars over and A Bug's Life was pushed out after Antz was released. Boo.
So I just had to take a picture of that and talk about it! :)

The INTEGRINATOR
I look like an idiot.It's VALUES MONTH at my work and we had to do a project as a store, like we had to do in high school. Our choices were to make a video, a poster, or... something else. Well... we made a video. Ugh.
And, of course, I had to be the main character, The Integrinator. So I had to dress up like that!
Embarrassing.

Movie Review: Toy Story 3
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.This movie can easily be dubbed one of the greatest sequels ever made!
It could not stop laughing the entire movie. It was great because I felt like a child again. I'm almost 21 years old and I was 6 when the first one came out. I've grown up with these toys and even at my mature *cough* age I'm still attached.
The Toy Story series is also really good when it comes to villains. Like, you will hate every villain they throw at you. Sid (not so much), Stinky Pete, and Lotzo. Lotzo was a bastard and I don't think justice was served. Same with Stinky Pete / The Prospector. At least Sid was emotionally scarred and is probably in an asylum right now for finding out that the toys are alive. Haha.
I'm still trying to get used to the ending. I can't believe Andy gave his toys away... and to the girl whose mom works at the daycare! They're just going to end up back there! If I were Andy, they would've gone in the attic. I could not give up toys that mean that much to me. I have a Woody doll from when the first movie came out... It's still in my room. Call me a loser, but I will never let him go... or any other of my important toys.
Regardless, it was a happy ending and I CRIED!!! When Andy was driving away.... I was heartbroken.
It was an AMAZING movie and I suggest that everybody go see it! I didn't see the 3D version but I'm sure the opening scene would've been awesome!
Official grade: A+++++ Haha.

Movie Review: Fame
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.After seeing the user rating on IMDb.com, I doubted this movie would be good, but I still wanted to see it. It was... decent.
I'm just really over the types of movies where kids pursue their singing/dancing/acting dreams. Like Step Up. There are just SOOOO many of them now. It's such bullshit. Only those kinds of people like these movies. You know, those who want to be just like them but there's not possible way of them getting there? Ya, those. Wannabes.
I didn't expect the movie to take place over their entire school career. Auditions Day, Sophomore Year, Junior Year, Senior Year. I didn't know how I felt about it at first, but by the end of the movie I decided that it worked. Each year had its own problems, but some of them just seemed random and felt unresolved.
I LOVED Megan Mullally. She was such a good singer too! And I liked Kay Panabaker, but she seemed really young compared to the other actors. Maybe they should've gone with her sister, Danielle.
And finally, something that made me mad was there was no dance number to the titular song "Fame." It's fine that it was in the credits and not a part of the actual movie, but they still could've danced to it. Just sayin.
New Ashley & Aly Show!
I dunno... it seems kind of Bring It On Remake childish, but maybe it'll be good. And I love Ashley and Alyson!
P.S. Cheerleading is a sport.
New Narnia Trailer!
Now that Fox is in possession of this series, they better not fuck it up and they better do better than Disney.
Narnia.

A New Miley App!
Ugh, I know... I'm back on the Miley thing again. Her album comes out in just a few days and there's a great way of previewing the new songs... and listen to the WHOLE song. Not 30 seconds.The Official Miley Cyrus App! Haha.
It's free and if you want to just download it, preview the songs and then delete it, then do it! Why not? It's free!
I enjoyed the song Liberty Walk, Who Owns My Heart, Permanent December, Robots (kinda), and obviously Can't Be Tamed. Haha.
The app also has news update from her... videos, events, bios, photos, you can preview all her other songs, and it has a random alarm clock. Lol.

Movie Review: The Hurt Locker: Part II
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.
So, it's been about 32 hours since I watched The Hurt Locker, and for some reason I'm still thinking about it. And like I said in part one... a Best Picture winning movie should keep you thinking after you watch it. So I decided that I should write a second part to my review to satisfy my urge to keep talking about the movie (whether I know what to say or not).
I'm not thinking about what the movie meant, but I'm more so replaying the film in my head and the more I go over it, the more I like it. It really was a good movie. It didn't have much of a story but it was still interesting to watch.
I was also thinking about movies that are about the Iraq War or terrorism in the Middle-East. Movies like The Men Who Stare At Goats, Jarhead, Body of Lies, Syriana, The Kingdom, Rendition, Brothers, In the Valley of Elah and this one. I've only seen this one, Jarhead, Syriana, and Rendition and all of these films, to me, seem to have no point (much like the war they represent) and they all flopped at the box office.
Avatar losing to this film still has me befuddled. The Hurt Locker might just be one of those movies that few understand because they look past the story. Kind of like Donnie Darko... either you get what the movie is about, or you don't (but oddly enough, that one I understood completely). I should also mention that The Hurt Locker won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. ...It beat UP!
Right now, I'm trying to decide how I would rate the movie if I had to give it a star rating. And... I'm sorry. I don't think I can. I simply suggest that you go rent the movie, or wait til it airs on television. Trust me, you won't have the need to see it until then. Avatar... you should see right away so you know what EVERYBODY else is talking about!! ;)
Official statement: I enjoyed The Hurt Locker.
Movie Review: When In Rome
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.I really liked this movie.
Josh Duhamel is really funny... like I wasn't expecting that. Good for him. I didn't expect him to do romantic-comedy so well. We love him in action movies like Transformers but now we can love him here. Kristen Bell was good as well. What's notable is that this is like the first movie where they're both the stars. Josh was only a television star on Las Vegas and Transformers was like his first mega-huge movie. And Kristen Bell... she was the same way. She was Veronica Mars on TV and she was somewhat the star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall by being Sarah Marshall, but no one liked her and movie was about her ex. Anyways, they both did a really good job.
The movie was funny. I wasn't expecting much. I was just going off of what peers told me about it. The scene with the vase was hilarious (although it was in the previews) and the speech was funny.
The one scene that was funny, while making me think 'what the fuck is this' was the scene where they have dinner in the dark. Do places like that exist? It was funny, but seemed so unreal. But then again, that was New York City... Crazy shit happens there.
Overall great movie. Kristen, Josh, Angelica Houston, Danny DeVito, John Heder, Will Arnett, and the dumb heiress chick from Fools Gold... big name people. Fun all around.

Movie Review: The Hurt Locker
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.I must say that I expected more, but I was satisfied at the same time.
I'm always confused when it comes to some Best Picture winners. When I go into watching a Best Picture Oscar winner, I expect to feel blown away when the credits start rolling at the end of the movie. I want it to get me to think. I want my adrenaline to pump. I want it to make me want to watch it over and over again. An example of a movie that doesn't do this, No Country For Old Men. Yes, that movie does make my adrenaline pump... Yes, I bought the movie... Yes, I did somewhat enjoy it... But after watching it, the only thing I thought was "what the fuck just happened?," "what kind of ending is that?"
Then I think, what criteria does the Academy have for best Best Pictures? Why did this movie beat Avatar? I found Avatar to be more entertaining and to actually have a story (although it's just Pocahontas in space).
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this movie. It was very intense. But I didn't think it had much of a story. We follow three soldiers around as they dismantle bombs. That's pretty much it. And then, the movie just ends. I just don't get movies like that. But I still found it entertaining. I'm in an awkward place with the movie. I will buy it though. Haha.
I LOVED(!) Jeremy Renner. He deserved that Oscar nod! I'm wouldn't go as far as to say he deserved the Oscar (because I haven't seen Crazy Heart) but he deserved the nod. I really hope he makes more mainstream films! And I'm glad Kathryn Bigelow beat her ex-husband, James Cameron, for Best Director. It's time a female won.
I'd recommend seeing the movie, but don't go into it expecting to be blown away. That's all I gotta say!
It's Monday Night! FAMILY GUY!

Movie Review: From Paris With Love
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.I'll admit, this movie did NOT have me hooked until 45 minutes in.
It wasn't that interesting, but I still tried to pay attention and it was important to pay attention.
Right at the twist in the movie (which I didn't expect, by the way), I was hooked.
I enjoyed both Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and John Travolta's performances. I've only seen Jonathan in one other movie (August Rush) so I enjoyed watching him. As for John... People keep saying how it's his most original and creative performance of a character since Pulp Fiction. I thought he was funny and was a total badass, but he wasn't that special.
The action scenes were great! And I love how Jonathan doesn't kill a single unimportant person throughout the entire movie and at the very end he has to kill the person most important to him. That may have been a cliché move in the story. But I enjoyed it.
Movie Review: Dear John
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.Dear Nicholas Sparks,
Never, ever allow the screenwriters to change your original story. I read The Last Song, and they changed it for the movie and I didn't care for the movie as much as I should have. They changed this film's ending after audiences in advanced screenings were disappointed. I didn't read this book, but my sister did tell me how the book actually ended, and I would've liked that version better.
I didn't care how it was mostly about Channing Tatum. He's not that interesting. Why would I want to follow him around? If it were some other actor, I'd care a little more. So I think he was miscast. And really... I'm tired of Channing playing the military guy and the gangster/fighting guy. Can't he ever just be a guy?
I enjoyed Amanda Seyfried, although her character angered me. Leaving the main character... tisk, tisk.
What kind of Nicholas Sparks movie ends with the couple not being together? Only this one! (Although I've only seen The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and The Last Song, which only leaves out Nights in Rodanthe.)
So, I would give this movie 2.5/5 stars. I expected more from it.

Race to The Riddler!
If you haven't heard already, it's been rumored (I repeat, rumored) that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the lead to play The Riddler in the sequel to the Dark Knight.I wouldn't ever have considered him for the role, but now that I think about it, I really like the idea.
Prior to this, I read numerous things about different people being rumored to play the Riddler. I read that Jim Carrey was approached again more than ten years later to see if he would consider portraying him again. Which, in my opinion, I was a little iffy about. Jim Carrey did a really, really good job with the Riddler, but I think bringing him back would be a step in the wrong direction.
When Tim Burton released Batman and Batman Returns, they were taken seriously. The first one was a classic and the second one was just okay. It didn't live up to the original. Then they tried to bring Batman back with Batman Forever and cast Val Kilmer (huge mistake) as Batman, introduced Robin (Chris O'Donnell), and had Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones) and The Riddler as the bad guys. The movie was a joke. I enjoyed it as entertainment, but it wasn't a real Batman movie like the first two. The first two were dark (although it was Tim Burton so darkness was kind of expected). Then they released Batman & Robin, made George Clooney the Dark Knight (for some reason), introduced BatGirl (Alicia Silverstone), and had Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) as the baddies. The movies were just to make money and were using huge stars to do so.... They weren't taken seriously. But I'll say again that I really do like the movies. They are fun to watch.
Then they reboot Batman like five years later (which they should do with Spider-Man). Christian Bale is the Caped Crusader. While they do use big name stars in the movies (Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Cillian Murphy, Gary Oldman, and Aaron Eckhart) these movies are taken seriously... like Oscar-nomination seriously.
So, I think casting Jim Carrey again is wrong. As much as I love him, it's just not right though. Jack Nicholson created the Joker and did it brilliantly; Heath Ledger perfected it in a different way. The same will happen with the Riddler.
Another rumor I heard was that Johnny Depp was being considered. This idea I like. Think about it, we all thought how insane it was that be was going to be the Mad Hatter and he was perfect for it. I think he could be a great Riddler. He's been Willy Wonka, Mad Hatter, Jack Sparrow and so on. He could easily master the Riddler.
But Joseph Gordon-Levitt... I am enjoying this idea. It's so random that it's brilliant! I think he could do a great job.
I think it's safe to assume that the Riddler would the the bad guy in the next one. Christopher Nolan (director) hasn't confirmed it, though. He's only confirmed that Mr. Freeze will NOT be the bad guy. I also heard rumor that it may be Catwoman and that Angelina Jolie is rumored to be in mind for the role. Typical.
So we will see what happens, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt has my vote.
Movie Review: Letters to Juliet
Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.Usually, I'm not one for the cliché romantic comedy where a young girl travels to a foreign country and falls in love with some young guy with an accent. But, sadly, I was different with this one.
Once the background story was laid out, the rest of the film was very predictable, but I still enjoyed it.
I enjoyed Amanda Seyfried. She's going to be around for a long while. The main guy wasn't that great of an actor, but the two were very cute together. And the old lady is always good (she was also in Atonement).
It was a very happy movie and I'm so glad she dumped the stupid Italian dude. He had no respect for her. It was awful.
I'll definitely be buying the movie. :)

The little activist inside me is speaking out in a little way.
Showdown: Chris Tucker vs. Chris Rock
Basically, what this battle boils down to is whose voice can you tolerate more?Age:
Rock: 45
Tucker: 37
Living in:
Rock: New Jersey
Tucker: Florida
Rock's Key Performances:
-Head of State
-Madagascar
-The Longest Yard
-Tyler Perry's I Think I Love My Wife
-Madagascar 2
-Death At a Funeral
-Grown Ups
-"Everybody Hates Chris" - Narrator
*77th Academy Awards host.
Tucker's Key Performances:
-Friday
-The Fifth Element
-Rush Hour
-Rush Hour 2
-Rush Hour 3
My Pick: CHRIS TUCKER
I'm sorry, but he has the better voice. His voice is funnier (you know, when it gets really high). When its late and I still have Nickelodeon on after watching the Nanny and Everybody Hates Chris comes on, I always get up because of his voice. You know, the show would be a great show if his fucking annoying voice didn't chime in every five seconds. It's so loud and annoying. And the Rush Hours score some major points with me, and Chris Rock lost some with Madagascar (terrible movie). Chris Tucker also makes as much as Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, etc. Chris Rock isn't anywhere near that. So, Chris Rock, you suck. Chris Tucker, you ROCK!
Holy Movie News, Batman!
You really should just constantly check TheMovieBlog.com like I do. It's full of a lot of good stuff. Here's some key things that I learned after reading tonight.
-The next Spider-Man villain (although I don't know how it's the 'next' one since its a reboot) is going to be the Lizard. I'm anti-reboot. Let's boycott.
-The actor who plays Captain Barbossa has joined for the next Pirates movie: On Stranger Tides.
-Angelina Jolie will be playing Cleopatra
-Breaking Dawn will be two movies (which everyone knew). Harry Potter posers! Dumb, Twilight sucks!
-Transformers 3 will be released July 1, 2011 and the plot will be focusing on Russia and the USA during the times of the first satellites and such. Weird. And the bad guy will be Shockwave.
-A Taken 2 is in the works.
-Kim Kardashian is in negotiations to play Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider reboot.
-Fantastic Four is being rebooted. (GOOD! Redo that shit!)
-Another Die Hard is coming.
-Indiana Jones 5 begins shooting next year. Harrison Ford and Shia will both be returning. The story will take place around the Bermuda Triangle and areas in the North Atlantic. And they're hoping its the final movie. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas will obviously be the ones behind it, and they're promising it'll be less CGI focused.
-It's confirmed: they ARE going to do a Les Grossman spin-off. (I don't know WHY!?)
-Readers want the Riddler to be the next villain. Followed by Catwoman and the Penguin in the rankings. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is rumored to be in the runnings for the Riddler role, but I'll get more into that in another entry.
AND FINALLY...
-Tangled (formerly Rapunzel, because Disney lost their boy audience with *Princess* and the Frog) released its first trailer!!

Lady Gaga's Alejandro Music Vid!
This one is kind of strange, but I'm glad the music is continuous unlike Telephone.

The MTV Movie Awards SUCKED!
What a waste of two hours. I'm not even kidding.
First off: holy eff-bomb. I don't know how many times they let the word 'fuck' slip. Between P Diddy, Mark Wahlberg, and the dad from Twilight, I couldn't even tell you how many times it slipped.
Now, let's see how well I did with predicting the winners:
Best Movie:
My guess: Avatar
Winner: New Moon
Best Kiss:
My guess: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson
Winner: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson
Best Fight:
My guess: Avatar
Winner: Obsessed
Best Villain:
My guess: Christoph Waltz
Winner: Tom Felton
Best WTF Moment:
My guess: Bill Murray
Winner: Ken Jeong
Biggest Badass Star:
My guess: Angelina Jolie
Winner: Rain
Best Scared-As-Shit Performance:
My guess: Katie Featherston
Winner: Amanda Seyfried
Best Breakout Star:
My guess: Zach Galifianaskis
Winner: Anna Kendrick
Best Female Performance:
My guess: Sandra Bullock
Winner: Kristen Stewart
Best Male Performance:
My guess: Daniel Radcliffe
Winner: Robert Pattinson
Best Comedic Performance:
My guess: Sandra Bullock
Winner: Zach Galifianaskis
Global Superstar:
My guess: Johnny Depp
Winner: Robert Pattinson
TWILIGHT WON EVERYTHING IT WAS UP FOR! Which I think is ridiculous. Anna Kendrick (who was in Twilight) even won Best Breakout Star for Up in the Air. I guarantee you that nobody who voted for her saw that movie. And Kristen Stewart beat Sandra Bullock's Oscar-winning performance! What the fuck is up with that?! And Robert Pattinson beat Johnny Depp (yeah, I said Johnny Depp) for Global Superstar. Johnny Depp has been Icabod Craine, The Mad Hatter, Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, and Willy Wonka and Robert Pattinson beat him with solely Edward Cullen. That's retarded. Teenagers need to learn that Twilight is not the best at everything.
I got 1 out of 12 right. That's stupid. Next year I'll be sure to just assume all Twilight nominees will win in their categories.
The one, ONE! good thing that came out of the movie awards was Tom Felton winning for Best Villain for Harry Potter. That's the first win for any Harry Potter movie at the MTV Movie Awards over the past 10 years. (That's 1 win out of 11 nominations) And I also loved the sneak peek at the new movies! I can't wait!
I enjoyed the honoring of Sandra Bullock. And she kissed Scarlett. Haha.
And finally, like when I watched the finale of Dancing with the Stars, here are my tweets during the awards show. I warn you, I get kind of mean and violent... :)
Ugh, a Jersey Shore-themed MTV Movie Awards. Dumb! JERSEY SHORE IS DUMB!
And here we go...
Who is this indian? Loser. #mtvmovieawards
What?! Kristen 'Trashy Whore' Stewart beat SANDRA!? What's wrong with America's teens! Dumb bitch. Stupid America#mtvmovieawards
The #mtvmovieawards have officially lost their credibility. This first win of the night proves how poorly educated America is.
I'm like borderline about to turn this shit off. Maybe I've outgrown these awards.
Haha. @TomCruise was hilarious. And Katie Holmes was there. See... he does let her out of the house.#mtvmovieawards
OH MY FUCKING GOOODDDD!!! HARRY FUCKING POTTERRRR!!! LOOKS FUCKING AMAAAZZZING!!! #harrypotter#mtvmovieawards
The Kiss Cam was hilarious!!! #mtvmovieawards
Woooooo Sandra Bullock!!!!!!! They kissed!!!! AAWWWW!!#mtvmovieawards
YAY Tom Felton won! Some good came out of this stupid awards show. #mtvmovieawards #harrypotter
Christina Aguilera really is a talented singer. There's no doubt about that. #mtvmovieawards
The past two hours sucked. I dont want to hear the words Twilight, New Moon, Edward, Bella, Jacob for the rest of the week #mtvmovieawards.
Twilight won everything it was up for. Including Anna Kendrick who was nominated for Up in the Air but was in Twilight. Dumb #mtvmovieawards
So... The MTV Movie Awards are officially STUPID!!! I'm done with them. I'll just stick with the Academy Awards where people take this shit seriously!
