Eric Cartman Might've Botched His Progressive Anti-Gay Rally With Misplaced Vulgarity
6 November 2009 1:00 PM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
Following Wednesday's episode of South Park in which Cartman and the crew try to re-brand the word "faggot" as a way to describe "annoying and inconsiderate" riders of Harley-Davidsons, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) released a statement saying that Trey Parker and Matt Stone's intentions were noble, but their methods awry. "The creators of South Park are right on one important point: more and more people are using the F-word as an all-purpose insult. However, it is irresponsible and wrong to suggest that it is a benign insult or that promoting its use has no consequences for those who are the targets of anti-gay bullying and violence."

Comedy Terrorists
2 November 2009 3:21 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Comedy is caricature: exploding the bad bits until they fill the stage. And the simplest caricature makes the most cutting satire. Borat roadtripped the Us with racism, sexism and an obscene moustache. Brüno showed off the best bleaching in fashion celebrity. Throwing the Jew down the well or chatting up a terrorist, it is a shocking, savage level of comedy. But with Sacha Baron Cohen the caricature is in fact the person being interviewed. When comedy tells the truth it can be painful, and using an idiot alter-ego softens the blow. In the same way, Trey Parker and Matt Stone (guys behind South Park and Team America) push satire to the places stand-up is too scared to visit. Because you can hit a cartoon character as hard as you like. They all piss on taboos. But, just as important, they pack in as much vulgarity as an 18 certificate can take: »

As Devil's Night Descends, Here Are Cinema's Greatest Satans
30 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Is it a widely known fact anymore that the evening before Halloween is called Devil's Night? I'm not sure of the history myself, but the term has its origins in 1930s Detroit, if Wikipedia is to be believed (I know, I know-- that's a big "if"). According to tradition, the night would be marked by youthful acts of vandalism and petty crime, though the transgressions increased in severity through the years, with arson unfortunately becoming a common practice through the 1970s and '80s. That all changed in the mid-'90s, when the city organized the volunteer-driven "Angel's Night" and started enforcing age-based curfews. Fans of "The Crow" -- currently in the midst of a week-long retrospective on MTV Splash Page -- are of course familiar with the term, as it factors heavily into that movie.
Grim associations aside, it's a cool name that lends itself well to this particular list feature. »

‘Blue Movies’ is Silicone Valley’s ‘30 Rock’
30 October 2009 8:09 AM, PDT | Tubefilter.tv | See recent Tubefilter News news »
In a previous life I think I was a fluff girl so I’m kind of sensitive about behind the scenes porno shows. While most of you were laughing it up watching Trey Parker shave his balls in Orgazmo I was strapped into a 94-minute emotional roller coaster ride of painful memories. So what can be expected from Blue Movies, a new web series from creator/director Scott Brown? Well if you don’t have painful and repressed memories of pleasuring the leading man off camera while trying to support three children all under the age of four I think you’ll be getting some pretty fantastically good awesomeness out of this one. Episode 1 (above), “The First Time,” opens with a “pivotal scene” from a special Batman adaptation, “The Dark Night: Full of Hot Freakin’ Orgies,” where an actually well costumed and acted Joker Zack Gold reenacts the famous disappearing pencil scene. »

South Park to Rip Apart Japanese Dolphin Killers in This Week’s Episode
26 October 2009 3:25 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I haven’t seen “The Cove” and so I’m forced to countdown to December 8th when the film comes out on DVD so I can see the documentary everyone is raving about. “The Cove” follows a group of activists infiltrating a Cove near Taijii, Japan to expose the brutal murder of dolphins by relentless fishermen. Now “South Park” is taking its shot with this Wednesday’s episode entitled “Whale Whores”. Hit the jump to learn how Trey Parker and Matt Stone plan to beat the shit out of this disgusting industry.
SouthParkStudios released a very brief clip from “Whale Whores”. It has Randy being hilarious so you must watch it.
And here’s the synopsis for the episode:
Stan and his family are spending his birthday at the Denver Aquarium where they will get to swim with the dolphins. Things turn bloody when the Japanese attack, kill all the »

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut Blu-ray Review
22 October 2009 8:16 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
South Park is now an institution. Something to take for granted. The show struggled early on after it became a breakout sensation, but now it’s there, always there. You know what Trey Parker and Matt Stone are going to do to a certain extent. Their comic rhythms are familiar, and they know how to tell a joke. The fun in revisiting the movie is that Trey Parker obviously loves musicals, and he made one with his film. My review of South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut after the jump.
The film concerns the four boys, Kyle, Stan, Cartman and Kenny as they get to see the Terrence and Phillip movie “Asses of Fire.” In it, the Canadian duo swear like sailors, with the hit single “Uncle Fucker.” Seeing the movie leads Cartman to challenge Kenny to light his farts on fire, and the act of doing so kills Kenny. »

Your Jeff Zucker Laugh For The Day
19 October 2009 5:11 PM, PDT | Deadline Hollywood | See recent Deadline Hollywood news »
Atlantic Magazine has published its first annual "Brave Thinkers" issue naming 27 "most provocative thinkers" who "had the courage to step outside the consoling persuading flow of tradition and ask fundamental questions about why things are the way they are, and how they might be instead". There's Steve Jobs and John Lasseter, Co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar Animation Studios, as well as Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park. But also Jeff Zucker. That's right -- Jeff Zucker. As the magazine says, "Some of them may prove to be wrong, and others wrong-headed. But all of [...] »

DVD Weekly Roundup – Mon 19th October 20099
18 October 2009 4:54 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
It’s quite unfortunate that the X-Men films having started strong are now reduced to this shoddy piece of cinema really. Let’s face it; it all started going downhill around number 3 but this attempt at a prequel just doesn’t deliver at all.
The script is all over the place, not knowing if it wants to be taken seriously or just be a no brainer action film. What we get is cheap dialogue being delivered like it’s Shakespeare. Hugh Jack man is charismatic enough but he hasn’t exactly had a good year, what with the complete bollocks that was Australia and now this.
I think Origins biggest failure is treating Wolverine’s relationship with his brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) like some sort of Eastenders sub-plot. That’s what it is! The whole film feels like a daytime soap opera. The romantic element of »

Balloon Boy Spewage Gets Us Thinking About Classic Hollywood Barf Scenes
16 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Concerned civilians the world over watched in horror yesterday as a runaway helium balloon with six year-old Falcon Heene allegedly trapped inside sailed over the Colorado countryside, only to arrive on the ground safely without child. Falcon, now widely known as Balloon Boy, was napping in the attic the entire time.
Naturally, the Heene family is making the press rounds following the kinda-sorta disaster, and there's already compelling evidence that the whole incident could be a hoax. What's not a hoax, of course, is poor Falcon's on-air vomiting during a recording of the Today Show. Ill timing, really. While I could sit here and think of a variety of different lists — best balloon chases caught on film, the greatest cinema hoaxes of all time — I just can't get my head around the Today Show throw-up. The result of that mental block is this list of the five greatest vomit scenes in movie history. »

New on DVD: Gay men from Broadway to Asia and points in between
14 October 2009 12:09 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
If you've been lamenting the lack of DVDs of specifically queer interest in the past few weeks, now would be a good time to check out the New Releases shelf for a song-and-dance documentary, an international romance and a potty-mouthed animated musical.
Read on for more!
You don't have to be a Broadway fanatic to love the fascinating documentary Every Little Step, about the audition process for the 2005 revival of A Chorus Line. The directors were granted unprecedented access to the months of tryouts—and since A Chorus Line itself is a musical about an audition, the movie has a fascinating meta quality as it mirrors itself throughout.
If you're one of those people who wish the film had spent more time talking about the original production conceived by gay producer Michael Bennett in the 1970s, don't miss the DVD extras, which include lots more interviews — Donna McKechnie (above, with »

Sam Raimi Drags Us 'To Hell,' Will Ferrell Gets 'Lost' And More In The DVD Report For October 13
13 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Director Sam Raimi made a name for himself (and boyhood friend Bruce Campbell) with a series of low-budget horror films that began in 1978 with "Within the Woods," a short college project that would chart the rest of his career. While that particular movie remains little seen, it led directly to the cult classic "Evil Dead" and its two sequels, "Evil Dead II" and "Army of Darkness," and forever cemented Sam Raimi as a bonafide member of the horror club.
So it was with some regret among his fans that -- as his career progressed -- Raimi drifted into other areas of cinema, most notably the billion dollar blockbuster "Spider-Man" franchise, and seemingly left his chainsaw and boomstick behind. That was until 2009, when he came roaring out of the gate with "Drag Me to Hell," the veteran filmmaker's return to the genre that made him a legend. The film stars Alison Lohman »

London Film Festival: ‘The Informant!’
13 October 2009 8:32 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Dir: Steven Soderbergh Cast: Matt Damon, Scott Bakula, Joel McHale, Melanie Lynskey ‘The Informant!’ is the true(ish) story of Mark Whitacre, the highest ranking whistleblower in corporate history. Mark (Damon) is a biochemist who has been promoted to the heady heights of agricultural giant Adm’s corporate infrastructure. But when his division loses money for a record year, he pretends that a Japanese competitor has infected Adm’s corn stock, and before he knows it the FBI is involved. Mark is clearly not a man who thinks his decisions through very carefully – he is one of those polite and hopelessly naïve Americans that we don’t see enough of outside the Us – and so he decides to tell Agent Shepherd (Bakula) about Adm’s involvement in one of the largest global price-fixing scandals in corporate history. What follows is basically what ‘The Insider’ would have looked like if Mel Brooks owned the rights. »

This Week in Blu-ray: Get Dragged to Hell in HD
13 October 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
In this edition of This Week in Blu-ray, it is slim pickings all around. From horror comedy with lazily constructed special feature selections to mediocre comedies that just won't go away. And it comes at the perfect time, as I believe I may have cleaned out the savings accounts of many readers with last week's buy-a-thon. Looks like we can all add a few dollars to the piggy bank this week in hopeful anticipation of Blu-ray releases to come. This week, for the first time in the history of this fair column, we're going to skip the 'Buy' and go right to the 'Rent'... Please use that fancy scroll bar on your browser to take a look at this week's releases below... Drag Me to Hell Pitch: Sam Raimi brings his sense of horrific comedy (or comedic horror) to high definition. Why Rent? Despite what my beloved colleague Rob Hunter might tell you, Sam Raimi »

Natural Born Killers (Unrated Director's Cut) I just reviewed the Blu-ray edition (read that here) and highly recommend it as I think this movie was certainly relevant when it was originally released, but in the time between sort of fell into obscurity. But now, 15 years later, it seems it is more relevant than ever, but I can't help but wonder if j_kad's comment on my review holds some water... Has the attention span of people changed so much that they can't figure out this movie? Drag Me To Hell Solid thrills and lots of laughs, Sam Raimi's return to horror is a success and in my opinion his best yet. Then again, I am not a fan of his Evil Dead films so take that for what you consider it to be worth. Sara just wrote up »

The most tasteless third graders on television graduate to the big screen, as Trey Parker and Matt Stone expand their animated series with foul-mouthed humor that might breach the boundaries of basic cable. In the small Colorado town of South Park, good-natured Stan Marsh, slightly neurotic Kyle Broflovski, fat and petulant Eric Cartman, and perpetually doomed Kenny McCormick are psyched for the premiere of the first feature film from flatulent Canadian TV performers Terrance and Phillip, »
[TV] Television Snippets - Southland Tails and Simpsons Plays
9 October 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
This week in television brought us renewals, cancellations, casting, news, and everything else that indicates the television season is officially in swing (even if a couple late bloomers haven't begun yet). In ratings news, Tuesday's NCIS continued to dominate as the most watched TV show of the week, bringing in an impressive 19.8 million viewers. Fox's Glee stayed stable at 7.3 million viewers, while the rest of the Wednesday shows saw a slight dip in viewers. Monday's Castle, a show that I love, had slightly higher ratings than usual, bringing in a comfortable 11.3 million viewers. On the other end of the spectrum, Heroes continues its fantastic crash-and-burn from being a TV powerhouse into bringing in a wimpy 5.3 million viewers. Hopefully NBC will soon realize it is time to take Heroes out to pasture.
Indulging my favorite shows, I want to start with House. The Fox medical drama delved into remarkable ethical and »

Hi, Billy Mays III here for South Park...
9 October 2009 11:02 AM, PDT | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
If you're a celebrity and you appear on TV's South Park, chances are it's not going to end good for you. You're either going to end up dead, in Hell, or dead and in Hell.
So you can probably imagine the reaction from the family of the late TV pitchman Billy Mays: exuberant joy and ecstatic excitement.
Billy's son Billy Mays III said on his Twitter page that he was "proud" and "honored" his late father was included in their "Dead Celebrities" episode. He's also trying to get a cel of his father's caricature autographed by Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
He hasn't said if he's gotten it yet or not, but he's reportedly sweetening the deal for the South Park creators by throwing in an extra bottle of Chipotlaway absolutely free. Matt and Trey, call now!

Time Out London has published a list of the 50 greatest animated feature films of all time curated by Terry Gilliam .

1 October 2009 2:36 AM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
The "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" movie has been launched online with a never-before-heard commentary from the creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker in order to commemorate the movie's 10 year anniversary. The movie and commentary will be available exclusively online at www.southparkstudios.com/crap/dvds/BLUFeature until October 28th. Then the new commentary will be available on the Blu-ray release of the movie on October 13th.
The movie, originally released back in June 1999, sees Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman sneak in to see their favorite comedians, Terrence and Phillip's new movie, which is R-rated. This then leads the foursome to repeat the curse words used by the troublesome twosome. The parents then declare war on the foul mouthed Canadian duo and it is up to the boys to save their "quiet little red neck town" from World War III and Satan.
