Youtuber whatdondrapersays has really done the lord's work with this supercut featuring a bunch of movie characters singing Sir Mix-A-Lot's seminal classic "Baby Got Back". You can tell it's a true masterwork based on the inclusion of the great Sho'nuff from The Last Dragon at the 2:20 mark. The answer to your next question is yes, Platoon does handle the "me so horny" part. Bravo interwebs. [via thedailywh.at]
Outside Lands just announced their food lineup and then I got all hungry because I saw they added a grilled cheese place. If that wasn't enough I started catching up on what's been happening on the interwebs by checking out The Daily What and stumbled upon this absolutely mouth-watering doozy of a supercut: Greatest Movie Sandwiches. Having heard an amazing concept like that your mind must clearly be racing to Clark Griswold's urine sandwich dance, and I can happily confirm its inclusion, as well as the famous sandwich that my new death metal band is named after: Busey's Meatballs.
With little more than a sentence stating the news, Variety may have made one of the biggest announcements of this young millenia.
Gary Busey has joined the cast of The Weinstein Company's ''Piranha 3DD.''
Pic, currently in production in Wilmington, NC, bows Nov. 23.
Obviously nobody wanted to wast time with extraneous details as all that really matters is covered in the sentence. It's safe to assume the Variety staff was having a celebratory party at the time as well because really this is probably the best thing they've printed in years, at least since the announcement of Teach: Tony Danza. Let's hope this works out a bit better than that.
A couple suggestions for possible Busey roles as I'm yet to find any info online. Bullet points obviously, the Buse don't rock it any other way.
I really think Gary Busey is a versatile actor, especially when playing a fisherman. He just has that look.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Superman casting story that is official and not a rumor! More importantly it's the bad guy, so this part like needs to be good or something, granted if there's anything remotely resembling Snyder's recent flick Sucker Punch it won't really matter who it is as that movie was terrible with a capital T-E-R-R. Seriously, what's up with that?
Those choosing to think good thoughts for the upcoming Man Of Steel just got a serious bit of leverage in their mental battle as Michael Shannon has been cast as Zod, the very same Zod you should be kneeling before. If you're struggling to put the face to the name you may remember Shannon's most recent work as Agent Nelson Van Alden on the fantastic HBO series Boardwalk Empire. The amazing quotes afficianados out there may also remember his John Givings character from Revolutionary Road commending the guts it takes to see the hoplessness along with the emptiness of life.
For those that are still new to the Man Of Steel bonanza Shannon will be starring opposite Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, and the incredibly good looking parental unit of Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent. Ironically the good looks didn't need to be justified in this case as we all (should) know by now that [SPOILER ALERT SO SPOILY YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR MARBLES] Clark isn't exactly of this Earth.

Uh-oh. Here is the new poster for the Arthur remake to be directed by Modern Family's Jason Winer starring Russell Brand as the titular alcoholic. The bad news is it looks like a poster for a generic but undoubtedly terrible Fox sitcom, the good news is I just came up with a new name for my solo project: Titular Alcoholic. The logo will just be a giant pair of boobs holding a bottle of Jack Daniels, which coincidentally is also the only image I remember from the time I spent with your mom. Boy were we drunk. Unfortunately between this and the incredibly meh trailer from last week things in the Arthur remake world aren't exactly looking Danza.
Arthur hits theaters on April 8th, presumably with a lot more funny than has been revealed thus far. [via the daily blam]
One of these days we are going to get into the supercut game, but for now we will just continue to link to the awesome work done by those that actually get things finished, like Film Drunk's video editor Oliver Noble. His latest opus fits in with the Valentine's Day theme as it features "Cinema's Most Disturbing Smooches". As one would expect the creepiness far outweighs the romance, much like my love life. I will say that I'm incredibly shocked we didn't get some Tom Cruise or Travolta in there as they are about as disturbing as they come. At the very least I expected some Rocky Dennis.

I think the single best thing about this amazing Nicolas Cage matrix is that the four options consist of serious, mental, brilliant or rubbish. That really is the epitome of the Cageman's career. With that said it's still a travesty that Con Air is near the brilliant section. [via the daily what]
We posted a similar video to this a while back featuring some of the effects done on the HBO show Boardwalk Empire, but this here is for an Oscar contender, although not for effects, simply for being a really good (albeit ridiculously over the top) film. It's easy to forget how much visual effects work is done on what seems like the most straightforward character driven films, but as this reel from Look Effects about the work they did for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan shows, even the indies get their fair share of computer magic.
And yes, the cunnilingus scene needed some effects. [via ropes of silicon]
Here's a nice little bit from the awesome Filmdrunk's video editor Oliver Noble that not only offers empirical evidence in the case against Michael Bay, but also helps to expand your knowledgebase. Titled A Brief History of Conspicuous Product Placement in Movies, the name is pretty literal so don't be expecting subtlety. As with any good video that talks about selling out in cinema, Wayne's World gets a nice little segment, although I'm not sure why there is no "Ah, Nuprin. Little, yellow, different."
