I dunno, of all the ways to go, killer boobies might not be that bad.

Sometimes I do this job from public. Right now is one of those times. I’m sitting in a coffee shop and I’m laughing really hard and people around me are scooting away from me because they think I’m an insane homeless guy with a laptop.

As part of my never-ending efforts to steal resources from your places of work, I'm presenting you with the first ten minutes of the movie Sex Drive. Be warned, it definitely earns its R-rating with bad words, an implied BJ and some full-on man ass footage. It's very funny.

This is some footage shot with a low budge camera during the making of an Iconoclasts episode with Tony Hawk and Jon Favreau. If you haven’t seen iconoclasts, it’s sort of hit or miss show from the Sundance Chanel that pairs movers and shakers in various industries.

Looks like the intended controversy about Zack and Miri is starting to wind up. Ads have been pulled from Fox Sports during broadcasts of the Dodgers. Apparently there have been complaints from concerned parents about how to explain what a Porno is to their children.

Your parents paid good money so that you could go to college to learn and have sex, not to hump a cleaning utensil and play a watered down version of smear the queer. If you are a Harry Potter fan, then we don’t mean to offend you by poking fun. But seriously, come on. You just can’t defend this. It’s one thing if the brooms were actually magic. But they are not.

Boy, this political race sure is getting dirty. First Fox News got all fired up about that Sarah Palin shirt and now CNN is going all potty mouth. Oh well, here are some nice, clean links to rescue your brain out of the gutter. Thanks to Holy Taco for pointing out the video.

I know that her swearing isn't the point of this video, but to be honest, I'm kind of over the whole "celebrities weigh in on the election" thing. But, this one is short and has a hot chick so I like it much more than most of the others. I'll admit, that it even made me chuckle a little.

Above you'll find the new poster for the sure to be incredibly shitty rom-com, The Ugly Truth. See, it's clever because it suggests that women love with their minds, while men just want to get their junk wet. I didn't know it was possible for Hollywood to "reboot" a bumpersticker, but they've done it.

From Paris With Love is the title of legendary director Luc Besson’s film staring John Travolta about troubled youth living in French slums.  The film has reached some catastrophic problems having to do with shooting near troubled youth living in French Slums. 

I used to have a Blood for Blood T-shirt that said "Fuck Fred Durst" on the back and people used to get offended by it from time to time. I never quite made it to Fox News, though. Apparently there are some nasty T-shirts floating around with a mean message about the potential VP and it has this anchor and a feminist via satellite pretty upset. Uncensored pic after the break.

I don’t know where people stand on this issue. But in the coming months we all have to come together as a nation and make a serious decision about Nicholas Cage.

We don't usually do these little casting notes, but this is a pretty big one. Tony Stark's pal, Jim Rodes (who also happens to be War Machine) will be played by Don Cheadle instead of Terrence Howard in Iron Man 2. It's a trade-up in my opinion, as long as Don doesn't bring his awful accent from Ocean's 11.

I never noticed how much John McCain and Walter from The Big Lebowski really have in common. They both mention their military service at times when it's completely inappropriate and they both love firearms.

Not everything Spike Jonze has done in his career has been spectacular, but the opening sequence for Lakai's "Fully Flared" skate video is amazing. Even if you're not a skater, you can still appreciate all the stuff that blows up. Plus, it'll help hold you over as you wait for Where the Wild Things Are.

The genius thing about making a movie with a donut costume is that you can shoot some promo videos for relatively cheap. You don’t have to sit the smartest dudes from the internet down in a windowless room to come up viral gold. Skateboarding and being unable to bend at the waist are entertaining enough. Click through for the second one.

I was going to include this in the link dump, but I just spent a half hour counting all of the movies I have seen from this list and I thought you might want to do the same. My tally came in at 251. There are quite a few older movies in there I just haven't gotten around to seeing as well as a whole shitload of Disney animated movies I don't care about.

Vice magazine made a point once that if you really think about it Scarface is really a story about a coked-up Cuban dude who was on top for about 2 years before screwing it all up and getting absolutely riddled with bullets.  With that in mind, he has given countless fat kids who sport an oversized shirt bearing his semblance something to aspire to.

I know, this isn't a great time for new movies, but is it so bad that we had to make an awful talking-dog movie take the number one spot two weeks in a row? Have you even considered the repurcussions? Think of how many headlines this morning have a stupid "top dog" pun in them. And with that kind of showing, there's no question that there's going to be a sequel.

Personally, I thought last night's primetime SNL show was boring and unfunny, but posting political clips gets the Huffington Post a zillion clicks a week so I figure I should get in on that action, too.

If it’s one thing that I continually get busted on it’s faking orgasms.

We may be late to the party on this one. But our list of reasons to see Darren Aronofsky’s new movie just got longer with the realization that Marisa Tomei plays a stripper. A naked stripper. For the uninitiated, Tomei is a serious MILF who has somehow only gotten hotter with age. Here area few pics.

Netflix put on a movie-watching marathon in New York City. Suresh Joachim and Claudia Wavra sat through 123 hours and 10 minutes of entertainment, which translates into 57 movies of various quality. The last movie was Thelma and Louise, but I guess even a brutal rape isn't enough to keep you awake after that many hours of movie-watching.

When I got the DVD screener for David Allen Grier’s new show, Chocolate News I was a little worried about watching it to review for the site. I figure I am 1) totally not the demographic, 2) use to “ethnically targeted” comedy shows being absolute crap. I honestly could not take Mencia.

I have no idea what "Unleashed" is, but they seem to be disturbed by watching it, which is enough to make me interested. I guess it's the same part of my psyche that made me end up watching 2 girls 1 cup 60 times in a single week. That part of me is kind of messed up, but it's better than the part that makes me steal. Here are some links.

I would be interested in watching a behind the scenes sort of thing of Smashing Pumpkins touring back in 1996. But 2007 does not have the same appeal.

The super slo-mo camera is the bread and butter of the Discovery Channel and now they've gone and made a whole show out of doing stuff at super-high frame rates. The results are actually pretty cool, even if the jackhammer one is a little…disturbing.

Maybe I shouldn't give Triumph too much credit for making fun of an incredibly easy target like David Blaine, but I have yet to see anyone do it better. Conan's insult comic dog showed up to Blaine's last stunt where he hung upside down for a while for some reason. He also took a coffee break.

For the record, I would let Rachel Ray thread my corn. As long as she’s gentle. And does not have any hot sauce on her paws. It's truly amazing that this one got past the producers. And every day there are lots of things that get past us. Here are just a few.

Second Commie-related post of the day. Here’s one from the International News Desk. The Kremlin is looking to have a ‘closer’ relationship with the movie business. If there’s anything we’ve ever learned about film, it’s that the way to make good ones is to put a government bureau in charge of it.
