"Ah, the pop culture dad. Is anyone more bumbling? Film and TV have provided us with a bevy of memorable dads, all perpetuating the stereotype of the well-meaning, but dim-witted (or borderline psychotic) pop. (Actually, sometimes it isn't borderline.) In honor of Father's Day, we salute a few of the greatest moments in pop culture dad-itude. They all deserve a "Father of the Year" novelty award ... and possibly psychiatric counseling."

Now I'm drinking Guinness in the nearby faux English shopping mall pub - trying to wash the taste of shit movie out of my mouth.

The cinematography and scenery around Rome was nice, but I wish I could have watched with the sound turned off.

The script that they crafted for this film must have been aiming for that elusive severely mentally retarded market.

I know Hollywood is dumb, but is it getting dumber? I feel like it is. Is Idiocracy really happening?

Well, went and saw Star Trek tonight. Anyone else see it yet? And what were/are your thoughts? I actually really liked it. Lots of outright and subtle references to the Original ST, plus even a shout out to Captain Archer amazingly enough. The guy who played Bones (Karl Urban) did a fantastic job. Simon Pegg was great as Scotty. All around good job I think. I'll most likely see it again. Definitely will add it to my movie collection.

A while back, it seemed that the only thing that was holding up an "Arrested Development" movie was Michael Cera's involvement. Since then, Cera (Superbad) has confirmed that he will come onboard, but things are still not going anywhere.
... more inside ...

Or does the sift community completely lack a sense of humour?

"Michael Bay is well known for the child-like glee with which he infuses every over-the-top, ridiculous action scene he directs. He is truly an auteur, and the naive innocence which he brings to his directing can make most any stupid movie romp enjoyable. Unfortunately, hoping to cement his artistic credibility by landing that coveted writer/director credit a la Clint Eastwood, Bay also decided to try his hand at writing screenplays. And due to my elite Hollywood status as a quasi-respectable internet comedian, I of course had access to this attempt, and due to my shaky moral compass, I of course decided to post a few excerpts of it for you here:"

I just want everyone including the admins to know that I don't like this new idea of hobbiting people.

I saw the Lord of the Rings movies, and while they were mildly entertaining for the first ten hours, I just wouldn't want to see my fellow sifters become hairy-toed midgets.

I'm sorry if this offends anybody who may be related to Elijah Wood, but it bothers me that this new power could be so easily abused.

After all, at any moment you could be posting a video when BAM!...Ian McKellan upside yo head!

I'm just looking out for my friends of the Shire, I mean community. I don't want anybody losing eight inches of height and growing a metatarsal moustache.

I wanted to let everybody know, in case Peter Jackson ever makes an account here. Because if that happens, we're all screwed!

Thanks,

I enjoyed this article about the ineptness of Skynet.


My fav comment there is;

Did anybody else ever notice that the only time terminators actually run is when they are chasing VEHICLES? When their target is escaping on foot, the terminators always follow them at what can best be described as a determined stroll. How these unbelievably stupid artificial intelligence ever managed to take over the world in the first place is a mystery to me.

Enjoy.

Above is an audio clip and corresponding article of Christian Bale flipping out on the Director of Photography on the set of Terminator Salvation.
