07.18.2011 Monday headlines, with magic heroes and bikinis!

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 2 - basically broke every major box office record there is this weekend, including ‘first midnight showing’ ($43.5M), ‘opening day’ ($92.1M), ‘weekend: domestic’ ($168.5M), ‘weekend: worldwide’ ($475.5M), and ‘most malleable fanbase’. (mojo)

CASH CAB - is that game show where a taxi driver asks real customers trivia questions during their ride, and a producer for the Canadian version hit and killed a guy with the Cash Cab in Vancouver this weekend. Will he stick with one, or try and hit someone else and double his money? Find out after this break! (fox)

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - has accepted the youtube invitation to the Marine Corps Ball with Cpl. Kelsey de Santis. Or at least he’ll go, “If my schedule works out.” And she’ll go if she hasn’t been shot to death. Leave it to Timberlake to find a way to say yes yet still look like a pretentious jackass. (cnn)

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - finally has it’s teaser trailer officially online, over on it’s facebook page. It’s still not available in 1080 full-screen like most other trailers though, because Warner Brothers seems to think this bullshit is cute. (facebook)

THE AVENGERS - doesn’t come out until next year, but it has a teaser trailer (maybe meant only for Comic-Con, which begins Wednesday night) that has leaked online. But don’t get too excited because this a bootleg, and it’s terrible. It’s like he hid the camera in a glass of chocolate milk. (youtube, megaupload)

LAURA CROFT - hosted a pool party at the Flamingo hotel in Vegas this weekend, and all I know about her is that she was the Playmate in July of 2008, her ass is terrific, and she has the laziest fake Playboy name ever. (wenn)

07.07.2011 Emma Watson is ridiculous

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’ is having it’s world premiere in London today, and the early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Almost as glowing as the review Emma Watsons dress got from Shower Scrunchie Digest.

11.19.2010 Friday morning headlines

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - opened this morning at 12:01am, and based on pre-ticket sales it has a shot at breaking The Dark Knights 158 million dollar opening weekend record. It’s made around 30 million already, but the entire weekend is expected to be packed with loser nerds in Harry Potter costumes, and me showing them what real power looks like in my Gandolf outfit. (deadline)

TOM HARDY - is all set to play the villain in the third Christopher Nolan Batman movie, and though it’s not known which one, the best current guess is it will be Dr. Hugo Strange, “a genius, mad scientist who becomes obsessed with Batman, learns his secret identity and ends up dressing up like him.” Maybe someone just try shooting him like 300 times. With a gun. I feel like that would work. (batman news)

THE SCHICK HYDRO GIRL - is Saras Gil, though I can barely even confirm that she exists. She’s 24, lives in Barcelona, I think. And that’s about it. I was amazed at how many emails came in about this chick, but I’m not here to judge. I jacked off to a constellation once, so, hey, whatever man. (youtube)

07.01.2010 thursday headlines

AFSHAN AZAD - plays Padma in the Harry Potter movies, and hopefully she learned some of those defense spells because her father and brother are in jail today after threatening to kill her. In their defense, her performance was a bit wooden, and those people take shame very seriously. (huff)

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN - says nothing about the third Batman movie in this interview, but he does confirm that the script is finished and ready to cast. So far this is the best movie experience I’ve had all summer. (/film)

MEL GIBSON - sold his 75 acre estate in Connecticut today for $24 million. He reportedly wants to move somewhere, “more apartheid-y”. (wonderwall)

SOPHIE TURNER - got loose before her run this morning in Santa Monica, which caused me to get the exact opposite of that. I’m not entirely sure what it is she does, but I couldn’t be happier that she’s doing it. (pcn)

07.17.2007 UPDATE! HARRY POTTER 7 IS ONLINE. MAYBE.

Several sources are saying that an authentic copy of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" has hit the internet. Someone, maybe a hand model, has photographed every page of the much anticipated book and posted it on several torrent sites, notably Pirate Bay (torrent for that here). It's not known who the source is or even if the book is truly genuine, but one clue that author JK Rowling gave was that "scar" would be the last word in the book. She later said it was changed to be one of the last words, and this copy of the book does have "scar" in the second to last sentence, the eleventh to last word. The book may be an extremely well put-together fake or it may be real, all that's known for sure is that this is the nerdiest thing I've ever posted. Now I just need someone to shove me in a locker and steal my inhaler and my day will be complete.

UPDATE - the Pirate Bay link is dead, MEGAUPLOAD link here and here

UNSEXY NEW UPDATE - now the megaupload link is dead, I'm searching for a new torrent now. feel free to send a link to the email if you have it.

MAGICAL NEW UPDATE - new DL link here

07.16.2007 EVERYONE SAW HARRY POTTER

"Harry Potter and The Order Of the Phoenix" earned a staggering $190.3 million in 44 countries this weekend to bring its 5-day worldwide total to $330 million. "Phoenix" made 77.4 million this weekend in the US alone. Deadline Hollywood says:

…it's difficult to say whether HP5 will out-earn the others. But it made $25.8 mil on Friday, $28.3 mil on Saturday and a projected $23+ mil on Sunday. That's good enough, the studio says, to set the largest non-holiday 5-day Wednesday to Sunday record previously held by Shrek 2 ($128.9 mil). The pic also scored the largest Wednesday ever, and largest Wednesday 12:01 a.m. show ever. Overall, it scored the 5th largest opening day ever.

"Transformers" was second in the US this weekend and has now made 229.9 million worldwide, "Ratatouille" was in third and has a new total of 160 million and "Live Free or Die Hard" (which was freakin awesome, by the way) stayed in fourth and has now earned 194 million.

It was funny to see Potter because it's proceeded by trailers for "The Golden Compass" and "The Dark Is Rising", two movies that copy the EXACT same formula as Potter, namely the story of a young boy/girl who thinks he/she is ordinary but is actually special and destined for a magical adventure. They just crossed out "magic" and filled in "time travel" and replaced "talking lion" with "talking polar bear". So either Hollywood is lazier than we all thought or this is just a classic tale that never gets old, much like the story of a knight who wets his bed or the one about a masturbating pig.
