It was basically a non-Halloween this year. I slept most of Sunday but managed to watch Shoot Em Up. I think that if Daniel Craig’s beautiful face somehow gets mangled and they need a new Bond character, it should be Clive Owen. That just the kind of brilliant insight you're going to get around here.

Thanks to Holy Taco for this clip. It’s a gem, a real gem.

Welcome to a new column where we let our many entertainment aficionado readers sound off on matters of immense import. This week’s rant comes from Brendon in Seattle, WA. With the news this morning that a previously popular television show will be losing some of its top production talent due to poor ratings, I believe you will find this opinion piece to be both timely and impassioned.  Without further adieu, I give you “In Defense of Heroes.”

If I do end up going out to any Halloween parties this weekend I’m totally going as a “Community Organizer.” That’s going to be the hottest costume on the block. Oversized T-Shirt, clipboard with some extra pens, a pair of Crocks with smart wool socks.  I can totally scrape that together at 6pm tonight.

For Halloween two years ago I was a life sized home pregnancy test. I was so proud of myself for that costume. I ran around Sixth Street in Austin like the world was ending with people yelling EPT and trying to convince girls to pee on me.

Samuel L. Jackson and Maggie Cheung join the cast of Inglourious Bastards (/films) New Valkyrie trailer now online (Empire) Changeling writer to pen Forbidden Planet (HollywoodReporter) BBC exec resigns over Brand scandal (Variety)…

I try really, really hard not to post one trailer right after another. But I just came across this one. It might get the prize for worst ever.

Oh man, we mentioned yesterday that Joaquin was going to give up acting to pursue his music. But this clip makes me think he’s totally punking the reporter about the whole thing. Either way its really weird and awkward and fun to watch. He makes Busey look sober. Thanks to special Joaquin correspondent Nat for the tip.

Black20 has had some viral internet GOLD. They have brought us such wonders as The PG Version Of 300 and Journey At the Center of The Earth. This is a quasi mashup recut of Saw and High School Musical.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno: Star Whores – Watch more free videos

Here’s an exclusive clip from Role Models. I saw an early screening of it and did a review. It blew my mind. You an read my review here.

Is it just me or has The Daily Show increased their funniness factor by like elevendy billion lately? There are so many good jokes in this one. Just watch the whole thing.

Call me a little bitch, but I never caught on to this whole Guitar Hero thing. I think my problem with it is that people who are really good at it are the opposite of Heroes. They should make a new game called “King Of Fake Guitar Playing Mountain Dew Gives Me Acne What Does A Boobie Feel Like.”  

  Sho'nuff! It’s Samuel L.

One of the main reasons that the world has been in economic turmoil is because Jack Bauer has been hiding somewhere, not taking things to the limit to protect all of us from dangerous things like terrorists and angry dogs.  I look forward to January when he is BACK in action and and all the jobs come back to AMERICA where they are safe.

I really can’t tell how much of the controversy surrounding Zack And Miri was real versus made up by the studio to promote the film. Either way, Seth makes some great points about the whole issue.

Guys, I can NOT express how important it is for you to get out there and NOT vote this election. Voting is the reason that the economy is in shambles. Voting is what killed Heath Ledger. Voting was the associate producer of Beverly Hills Chihuahua.  Only you as an indivdual have the power to prevent these things from ever happening again.

This is probably the best thing that The Simpsons has done in a long time.  This is from the forthcoming 19th installment of the 'Treehouse of Horror.' Does that make you feel old?

I’m sorry to startle everyone this early. But it looks like…wait, are you sitting down? You should be, because you are using a computer. Nobody stands at a computer. Maybe scientists?  Anyway, looks like Joaquin Phoenix is going to quit acting. To work on his music.  Great move buddy.

Lycans, aka werewolves with "enhanced strength, speed and regeneration abilities", are revolting against their discriminatory vampire masters in this the third installment of the Underworld series.  It explores the origins of the age old monster rivalry between vamps and Lycans, with a vampire babe and all out rumbles to the death. 

You don’t mess with the Kung Fu Jesus. You just dont. That’s all, my disciples. Here are thine links. Click of them how you will. Now go forth and be bountiful in your mention of our hallowed site, and spread the word of Junkies.

Looks like this one is going to be a bullet for this year’s Oscars, or so says the blogosphere.

Ok. Not sure how many Jr. Economists we have in our readership. Or even advanced free market theorists.  But when the big Alan G speaks, the world listens. And what did he say this time?

Times are tough. Luckily the Juggernaut that is Screenjunkies has remained relatively unaffected.  You might have noticed some interruption in content lately like missing movie reviews and TV recaps.  This was due in most part to a move from our old headquarters in Dubai to our new offices just outside of Missoula, Montana. 

People, we live in strange times.  Florida is leaning toward voting a black man into the oval office. The economy finally said “Oh, I got you GOOD BITCHES! Earnings? Whatever!”  And it looks like Paramount is fast tracking the new Footloose. I pray every night that they name it Footlooser. And every morning, we put the news together for you. 

His name alone drops panties from the pools of Palm Springs to the board rooms of Madison Avenue. He is Don Draper, and reasons for his success can be found in the above video. They are simple. And these are his preferred links.

We’re trying to at least keep it sort of Halloween up in this bitch. And what better way than this selection for our weekly mashup. Not only is it thematically relevant, its technically superb and goddamn funny. Mwwwwwaaaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaaa etc.

I never saw Cloverfield because I heard that people were totally vomiting in the theatre. And whenever I smell vomit, it makes me want to vomit.  Now having seen this South Park clip, I feel like I’ve seen the movie. Awesome.
