WTF Is Wrong With You?: Twlight Corn Maze.

This is a Twilight themed corn maze in Utah (a state best known for people forgetting is a state) celebrating the new movie that's coming out later this year that I, for one, can't wait to see (read: I'd rather have ants eat my eyeballs while I'm awake and screaming and a dominatrix hammers at my junk with a meat tenderizer). I just put this up for you ladies out there that are in love with this garbage and know what 'Team Jacob' means. Because I sure as hell don't. *Googling* Holy shit, this teen-wolf character actually sounds pretty cool. NOOOOOOT. High five for the oldschool burn!

Also, haiku contest winners will be announced later tonight (I still have 400 haikus left to read).

Thanks to pstone, who has never run through a cornfield backwards but has been to prison. Similar feelings.

100 Years Of Movie Special Effects In 5:00.

This is a little video montage of notable special effects from movies in the past 100 years all packed into a five minute clip. And as you'll see, we haven't come very far. I want to be able to feeeeeel the movies. I read Brave New World in high school! Also, almost half of a Shakespeare play. Now it's all comic books and cereal boxes.

Thanks to Paul, who once got specially infected by the government and now has the power of three men.

Man Builds Batmobile From Batman Forever.

Sculptor Bob Causey went and built himself a replica of the Batmobile from Batman Forever. That's all the information I have except it drives and has a complete interior. Also, Batman Forever came out in 1995. So remember kids: never give up on your dreams, it's better 14 years late than never. Or is it? It isn't. I would have turned that shit into a hotdog cart by '98.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates!

Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.Orphan - July 24th

At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there's something wrong with Esther--this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be.

The Rainbow Rock does Mr. Black's BLACK BOX one better: it grants wishes to anyone who holds it.

When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning.

Zac Efron vs. Russell Crowe? No Box-Office Contest.

Poor Oscar-winning Russell Crowe. He never had a chance against Zac Efron.

Efron's 17 Again grossed an estimated $24.1 million at the weekend box office, per Exhibitor Relations. The body-switching comedy hit the upper range of projections, and dominated the competition, including the new Crowe thriller, State of Play ($14.1 million).

Elsewhere, Miley Cyrus' Hannah Montana: The Movie ($12.7 million) fell fast and furious, while Crank: High Voltage ($6.5 millon) suffered a cold start.

Drilling down into the numbers:

• As box-office weekends this red-hot year go, this one was kind of tepid—no film reported a per-screen average of at least $10,000. 17 Again led the top films with a $7,393 average.

• 17 Again's take was enough to let Efron call himself a movie-opener. He did, after all, out-open Crowe, Julia Roberts, Steve Martin, Seth Rogen and all three Jonas brothers, to name some 2009 box-office leads.

• For those keeping score at home, Efron did not out-open Cyrus/Hannah Montana or High School Musical 3: Senior Year, both of which had the big advantage of being existing, TV-based franchises.

• By placing second, State of Play seemed to disprove the Los Angeles Times' notion that the film was going to be the end of the non-tween film. Still, its debut was virtually identical to that of Roberts' Duplicity, which departed the Top 10 after four weekends with a disappointing $39.1 million overall gross. Also, State of Play's debut leaves it a long way, on the domestic side, at least, from its reported $60 million budget.

• Last weekend's No. 1 film, Hannah Montana, saw ticket sales plunge 61 percent. Still, the reputed $35 million comedy upped its overall take to $56.1 million.

• Among the new releases, Crank: High Voltage not only didn't challenge 17 Again or State of Play, it didn't challenge the original Crank, which opened with $10.5 million in 2006.

• In its second weekend, Rogen's Observe and Report ($4.1 million; $18.7 million overall) is all but done, but not before topping its reported $18 million budget.

• The low-budget Adventureland ($1.3 million) exits the Top 10 after two weekends, and a $14 million overall take.

• Reports vary wildly on the budget of Dragonball Evolution ($1.6 million). For the sake of the economy, it would be best if it were on the extremely low side as the film was bounced from the Top 10 after just one weekend, and a cumulative "gross" of $7.8 million.

• By the way, if you didn't have a movie in release this weekend, then Dragonball Evolution only made $722 more per theater than you did.

Here's a complete look at the weekend's top-grossing films based on Friday-Sunday estimates as compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1- 17 Again, $24.1 million
2- State of Play, $14.1 million
3- Monsters vs. Aliens, $12.9 million
4- Hannah Montana: The Movie, $12.7 million
5- Fast & Furious, $12.3 million
6- Crank: High Voltage, $6.5 million
7- Observe and Report, $4.1 million
8- Knowing, $3.5 million
9- I Love You, Man, $3.4 million
10- The Haunting in Connecticut, $3.2 million

New ‘Terminator Salvation’ & ‘Crank 2′ Posters.

Yesterday, the final poster for Crank 2: High Voltage appeared online in addition to a brand new one for Terminator Salvation.

We’ll start with the good one first: The new Terminator poster. Like the other Terminator Salvation images and posters, this one is pretty cool. In it, we see head of a destroyed Terminator unit being held by a resistance fighter – finally a poster that shows something positive for the good guys!
Next we have Crank which is just Jason Statham on a yellow background. That’s it. This particular poster interestingly was first revealed through Lionsgate’s Twitter account.I’m not excited for the Crank sequel and if I was, perhaps this poster would be pretty cool. I barely enjoyed the first one and I didn’t enjoy Transporter 3 so I’m getting pretty tired of these Jason Statham solo action films. He needs to get back into good roles like his Guy Ritchie characters or Handsome Rob from The Italian Job movie (at least we may be getting more of the ladder with The Brazilian Job if it every comes out).

That being said, Statham does make for a great action-oriented character I just don’t like the roles he gets with them - Perhaps his character in The Expendables will be perfect.

The newest installment for the Terminator franchise however, I am very excited for. Much of that excitement came from the latest full trailer for Terminator Salvation which was incredible (That’s a must-watch if you’ve not seen it yet).

What do you think of these posters?

Terminator Salvation opens May 21, 2009 and Crank 2: High Voltage opens April 17, 2009.
