New Hollywood Movie Says Islam Destroyed by 2012!

November 13, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Roland Emmerich’s new end-of-the-world disaster film 2012 has a rollicking good time destroying every monument to man’s architectural genius in the world. The Sistine Chapel goes kablooie, as does the Vatican and the giant Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. The White House gets flattened, too. All man’s most well known landmarks get turned to dust by Emmerich’s over-the-top movie effects team.

But by the time the year 2012 rolls around, director Roland Emmerich is obviously saying that Islam has already been wiped off the face of the Earth before the end came. There are no Saudi scenes of mayhem and destruction in his film. No Iranian landmarks get caved in, no destruction of Mecca and Medina are shown in Emmerich’s mashup masterpiece.

One can only conclude that Roland Emmerich has decided that Islam has been whipped out by an enraged western civilization before the year 2012. Emmerich is obviously saying that all Muslims have been put to death and all Muslim holy sites will have been erased from the earth long before 2012 comes to end all of civilization.

A Great Halloween Website: Bob Burns’ Hollywood Halloween

October 31, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Folks, you just have to set a side some time to go visit a great site that will help get you in the mood for Halloween.

Bob Burns is best known as a movie effects guy, actor, sci-fi and horror movie props collector, and all around horror movie enthusiast, but starting in the late 1960s he also began to turn his California bungalow home into a Halloween horror show for the neighborhood kiddies.

But, as the years rolled on and as Burns’ Hollywood effects maker friends began to get involved the shows grew to some amazing, effects laden spectaculars that began to draw people from hundreds of miles away to see the show.

Anyway, Burns is offering four half hour videos about the shows they did and the videos are really fun to watch. Really nostalgic.

So far, three of the webisodes have been posted with one more coming next week. You just got to see them.

So, check it out at Bob Burns’ Hollywood Halloween.

Once again, Hollywood Jabs Sarah Palin

September 29, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

We’ve seen it before. Hollywood seems to need to find a way, any way, to jab Governor Palin as much as possible. Case in point we have the soon to be released movie titled “Did You Hear About The Morgans?” starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Right in the trailer for this new laugh riot film is a jab at Palin. But it is a typically illogical jab, one that makes no sense at all. But it IS a jab and I guess logic isn’t necessary to the good folks in Hollyweird if it results in a jab at Palin.

The premise is that Hugh and Jessica are a married couple from New York that witness a Mafia hit and end up in witness protection in Wyoming. The jab comes in when Parker sees her first woman in a cowboy hat and worriedly says, “Oh my God it’s Sarah Palin.”

Guffaws all around, eh?

Of course, the whole thing is idiotic. Sarah Palin is not known for cowboy hats. Sarah Palin is not from Wyoming. Sarah Palin is not a south westerner at all. I would suggest that even idiot New Yawkers are aware that Palin is Alaska personified, not Wyoming!

It is also a little incongruous that the movie is portraying Hugh Grant as a married man. I thought all he cared about was prostitutes?

I also have to say that Sarah Jessica Parker is looking very old in this trailer. This woman is not aging well, to be sure.

That’s Hollyweird for ya.

Woody Harrelson: Zombie Fighter Extraordinaire

April 14, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Personally, I am thankful to providence for bestowing Woody Harrelson, zombie fighter, unto this earth to defend us all from those wayward and dangerous zombie paparazzi. Why, we’d be overrun with the shuffling menaces were it not for the brave and selfless actions of Woody Harrelson, zombie fighter!

It is my pleasure to recount Captain Zombie Killer’s latest epic struggle with the flesh eating, undead from last week. It seems that a zombie paparazzi was about to attack an entire airport full of innocent folks until Captain Zombie Killer stepped in to save us yet again.

Of course, there was a tiny misunderstanding this time. Unlike all those other times that he saved us from the zombie menace, this time the good Captain only ended up roughing up a photographer. I mean, come on. With all his experience at zombie-i-cide, it’s easy to realize how he “quite understandably mistook” the photographer “for a zombie.” Right?

Olbermann to Become TV Character? Thought He Already WAS?

April 10, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

In a case of entertainment imitating entertainment, Arron Sorkin — maker of the faux president series West Wing — has hinted that he is soon to start development of another one of those behind-the-scenes TV shows, this one to be the goings on with a TV pundit show ala Keith Olbermann’s Count Down spectacle on MSNBC. So says Entertainment Weekly this week at least.

So, what are we going to be subjected to? Another ponderous show where a lefty bleeding-heart host that is soooo “concerned” with the whole wide world? A salute to the “seriousness” of an Olbermann type? Or are we going to see the tale of a nearly insane, egomaniacal freak that terrorizes everyone with whom he works? If they are going for fantasy probably the former. Reality… who knows?

Hollywood’s New 3 Stooges: Benicio del Toro, Jim Carrey and… Sean Penn??

March 26, 2009 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

OK, now by that headline you are most likely assuming that I am calling del Toro, Carrey and Penn Hollywood stooges and making fun of them. Of course, we already know that Penn and del Toro are stooges on the “useful idiot” level, but you may wonder why I am slapping Carrey? Well, I mean it in the strictest sense — that Hollywood is casting for a new 3 Stooges team and these are the three Nyucks under consideration. It is del Toro as the new Moe, Carrey as the next Curly and Penn as our favorite nebbish, Larry.

But leave it to Hollywood to take the funniest threesome in Hollywood history and make a muck of it. This isn’t really the 3 Stooges at all. See, it is a “new” one, set in modern day, where three guys sortta, kinda like the 3 Stooges find each other in an orphanage and start a comedy team bringing them fame and fortune.

An American Carol: Filmmakers are NOT Saying there is a Conspiracy

October 10, 2008 by

-By Warner Todd Huston

Once again, we see the long knives sharpened against the right by employing innuendo and outright lies. This time it is against the movie An American Carol. On Tuesday, I reported that there was some concern that ticket sales for the movie were being diverted to other movies at certain theaters across the country. But, I never said there was a “conspiracy” to do so. The filmmakers also attempted to do some detective work to find out the veracity of the claims. But they didn’t call it a conspiracy either. Apparently simply asking the question, though, is too much for Wonkette and Huffington Post to handle. They had to gin it up as some wild-eyed claim of a “conspiracy” on our part.

In her inimitably profane and unprofessional style, Wonkette claimed the filmmakers are saying some great, leftist conspiracy is destroying the movie. The next day, an entry at the Huffington Post asserted the same thing. From there the lefty blogs took over to add to the din. Unfortunately for their hyperbole, the movie folks never asserted any such thing (for that matter, neither did I).

Sad Passing of a Hollywood Icon

September 2, 2008 by 1 Comment

-By Warner Todd Huston

On Monday, voice artist Don LaFontaine died. You may not know his name but you absolutely have heard his work. Think of yourself settling into a movie. The theater goes dark. The trailers begin. Dramatic music fills the room and the mellifluous sound of a baritone voice emerges to coo: “In a world where…”

That’s right, the movie trailer guy. He has given the dramatic reading for over 5000 movie trailers over the decades. His voice is now stilled. By all accounts he was one of the truly nice guys in Hollywood, too. No ego trip, full of mirth and good humor.

Here is a Geico commercial he did so you can hear and see him…

And here is a nice little video about his work…

RIP, Don… In a world where there is no Don LaFontaine… will we ever enjoy movie trailers as much again?
