Mac and Me (1988)

If you walked out of ET saying "man I wish this movie was more manipulative and sentimental and had more product placement," good news, Coke and McDonalds heard you! The result was 1988's Mac and Me!

Coca Cola's biggest blunder since New Coke.

Must be some kinda...

...Hot Tub Time Machine!



Remember that movie The Hangover? It made a lot of money. We should do that again. Who do we have?
  • Nondescript leading-man-type (Bradley Cooper -> John Cusack)
  • Guy from The Daily Show (Ed Helms -> Rob Corddry)
  • Nerd who kind of looks Asian (Ken Jeong -> Some Guy?)
  • Fat black guy (Zach Galifianakis -> Craig Robinson)
Hopefully HTTM won't become too self-aware (Snakes on a Plane, Pineapple Express) and ruin everything.

Dolph Lundgren can beat me at everything

Chemical engineering, karate, drum solos, breaking things, Elvis impersonation (if Elvis were a big Swedish guy).



Dolph for American Idol judge 2011.

"That performance was okay, but can you do THIS?" *breaks 8 slabs of ice with bare hands. Makes out with Posh Spice. Climbs Matterhorn shirtless*

Red Sonja (1985)

After Conan the Destroyer didn't completely destroy the franchise despite the best intentions of the sequel's director Richard Fleischer, he was left with only one choice: make yet another Conan movie, but without the name rights. Oh, and make Arnold a supporting character for some reason. And so Fleischer went to Italy ready to make a movie, but without a lead, and presumably without a plot.

Arnold's even got a bigger picture on the poster.

2010 Razzies Announced


The nominations for the 30th Annual Golden Raspberry Award, affectionately known as The Razzies, were announced today. For those of you unawares, The Razzies award the worst films of the year. You can read all the nominations here, since the official site likes to divide them into annoying separate pages. Ignoring all the other categories, let's get down to brass tacks.

WORST PICTURE OF 2009

All About Steve
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Land of the Lost
Old Dogs
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Now I have seen... none of these films (I'm a terrible bad movie bloggist), but knowing Michael Bay I'm sure he'll take the prize. No New Moon? Which I also haven't seen? Did they even watch the trailer? The Razzies have gotten so political.
