Love him or hate him, Shia is going to be around for a while. While I'm not one of the haters, I'm still not entirely convinced he can carry a movie totally on his non-hunky shoulders. Plot:

Episode: "Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes" After being arrested for rioting on St. Patrick's day, Homer decides to become a bounty hunter. He convinces Flanders to join him, while Marge unknowingly takes a job at an erotic bakery. If you're a fan of the show, all of that should sound great to you.

To be completely honest, I thought Paul Newman was already dead, but apparently I was wrong since he died of cancer on Friday at his home in Connecticut. He was 83. I'm not going to make any lame salad dressing jokes, because I'm sure you want to save those for the guy in your office who thinks he's really funny but everyone else just thinks he's mentally challenged.

It's always fun to see what goes on behind closed doors in the movie world. This 11 year-old tape is a discussion between Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein back when Robert De Niro apparently thought he was getting shafted for his role in Jackie Brown. The whole thing should leave you feeling slimy, and if not, you might be perfect for the movie biz.

It’s not easy doing what Sacha Baron Cohen does. The man has some massive cojones to pull off the pranks that he delicately engineers with his group of writers and producers. One of the biggest obstacles to continuing to perpetuate the Ali G character line is recognition. So it’s always satisfying to see him sneaking past security to make a mockery of things.

Tom Cruise put some change back in the Famous Bank with his performance in Tropic Thunder. And now Valkyrie looks pretty dope. I particularly like the line “any problem on earth can be solved with the careful application of explosives.” That reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart and Homer try to fix everything with fireworks. It works.

I gotta say, there has not been a single clip released from this movie that has not had me laughing my ass off. This one involves a donut suit, some cock n balls, and a disturbed parent. So awesome.  

Normally I hesitate to embed commercials on the site, but I'm so amped for The Office coming back tonight, that I just can't help it. So many questions were left unanswered at the end of last season and now we have a full hour to get some answers. But, that's still a couple of hours away, so here are a few wonderful links to help you kill time until TV once again takes over your life.

As we get closer to Christmas, crappier movies start hitting the theaters and the good stuff from the past summer starts hitting DVD. Today, we got the full info on two fo the season's biggest DVD releases. Hit the jump for what you can expect from Indy when it drops on October 14th and Hellboy II on November 11th.

I re-watched Natural Born Killers a few days ago. I haven’t seen it in about 10 years. I forgot what a crazy movie it is. It reminded me that Oliver Stone can actually make a good film, as long as it doesn’t have Colin Farrell. Here’s to hoping this is a good one. And may God Bless America.   

The Dark Knight really has stuck with some people. It was still so prevalent in the mind of one guy, that he couldn't help but make a mash-up of one of his favorite scenes from the movie and last night's George Bush speech about how it's fun to spend $700 billion.

Bill Maher and Larry Charles explore the wild world of religious fundamentalism.Release Date: 3 Oct, 3008Studio: Lionsgate

If you don’t like Bill Maher then you are not going to like this film. If you are sympathetic to the cause of religion then you are also not going to like this film. If you think that the comedic methods of Sasha Baran Cohen are unfair, then that’s just another reason you will think that this is a shitty movie.  However, if you are like me— an comedy-loving atheist who thinks that Maher makes a good point, even though he’s using the camera as a weapon—then see this film.

Don't worry, economy. Once Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer get done making Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and The Lone Ranger for Disney, they should have more than enough money to bail us out of this pesky recession. Johnny's not even playing the Lone Ranger, he's only going to be Tonto, but something tells me Disney isn't going to be paying him in giant turkey legs.

I'm excited about Zack and Miri Make A Porno. So exited that I made a series of posters that ask the question: what it other movie pairs (and Gandhi) got into the smut game? If I left any off, feel free to email me at feedback@screenjunkies.com.

The best part is when he calls him a "Cockspert." That's my new favorite word.

There are a lot of rumors surrounding the death of Biggie Smalls. And while I’m sure that this movie will do nothing in the way of clearing any of them up, it will have ample quantities of hot women and good music.

I pride myself in the fact that I have lived in New York for a long time and have never gone to see a musical of any kind. But, that might have to change when the musical adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis book hits the stage.

The Godfather: The Coppola Restorations

And now to get a little serious. This is a pretty dope trailer. Studios take a big risk on putting out movies that can be put in the Art House category. They take even bigger risks by trying to promote them with trailers that don’t have any words or music. This one works, and raises enough suspicion to get me interested in seeing the film.

I read Herman Melville's classic story of aquatic revenge back when I was in high school. And by "read" I mean I had a comic book version like the one from Major League that I used to get the basic idea and then just faked my way through class.

Town puts down grunge and lattes only to get tear gassed by cops.

Sitting in front of the TV, watching the riots unfold in Seattle during the WTO from the 4th floor lounge of my college dorm was really when I first got the sense that there might be something amiss in the world of global capitalism.  Starbucks being looted, storefronts being smashed—it turned out that there were some people that were kind of angry about the status quo.

SNL seems to be taking full advantage of all the ridiculousness that's going on as part of this presidential race. They better get it in now, though. If John McCain wins, he'll probably order all of their tongues removed. Nah, I'm just kidding. He'll probably just have them killed.

Mashups that go to the extent of overlaying dialogue with mouth movement should be celebrated. This one is a great example. Your favorite puppets hurling curse words is just an added bonus.

No one except Michael Bay and his minions even knows if Megatron is going to be in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, but if he is, it looks like he may have given up his wings for some tank treads and a huge gun. Even if these photos don't end up being accurate, they're still kind of bad-ass, especially the back side.

We have been hearing about Seth Rogen's Green Hornet movie for a while and today it got its director. The movie drops on June 25, 2010 and will have Stephen Chow at the helm and in Bruce Lee's old role as Kato. If you're not super familiar with Chow, he's the guy who has directs weird, but cool movies like Kung Fu Hustle and Shaolin Soccer.

SEE THE FULL POST FOR THE RED BAND VERSION. Nothing helps a Friday afternoon go by faster than some fictional torture. Once you get past the age gate (I know, I know) you'll be treated to one of Saw's trademark traps. After watching this, I've decided that, should I find mysel in a trap like this, I'm just going to sit there and let it kill me.

When J.J. Abrams was asked if the Shat was going to have a part in the upcoming Star Trek reboot, he claimed that Bill wasn’t interested in doing a cameo….
