Untertainment Weakly (12-9-11)

By Jake

Madonna will perform on the Superbowl XLVI Halftime Show.  If I were booking this event and needed to get a pop star, I would have went to Katy Perry first, and she’ll do anything including “The Smurfs” and Russell Brand.

Larry King wants to be cryogenically frozen when he dies.

Alec Baldwin was removed from an American Airlines flight because he was playing Words with Friends on his cellular telephone.  

Angelina Jolie is in talks to star in Luc Besson’s next film.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wants to be in Michael Bay’s weightlifting movie.  Why is this fucking happening?  The Rock is a good casting choice, but who, outside of my dad, is going to see a weightlifting movie?

Uma Thurman has joined the upcoming TV series “Smash,” a program about putting together a Broadway musical that is attempting to piggyback on the success of “Glee.”

Guy Ritchie is attached to direct a movie version of “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”  Yeah, keep Ritchie on movies that I would never want to see anyway.

Lionsgate is planning on making a new adaptation of “American Psycho.”  Why?  Who the fuck knows.  The Christian Bale original is perfect.

Sacha Baron Cohen joins the cast of “Les Miserables,” just as ironic Borat impressions are coming back.

Movies Out This Weekend
New Year’s Eve - Garry Marshall brings us this awful looking romantic comedy about the titular evening.  Ain’t it Cool News said that it stinks like “warmed over rhino balls.”  Now, that is a pretty bad review!  This movie stars a lot of old people like Halle Barry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Common, Robert De Niro and Jessica Biel.  The only people who are going to really want to see this movie are elderly people like Glenn’s parents (they’re 80 years old).

The Sitter - Jonah Hill stars in this babysitting comedy by the same director as the “classic” “Your Highness.”  This film is for teens.  You got your movie for elderly people and you got your movie for teens, but what do you have for me, Hollywood?  And I’m not talking to the Meshach Taylor character from “Mannequin,” but the movie making city.  Does it matter that “Twilight 3: Still Twilightin’” is going to probably still destroy these  two films at the box office?  Last week no new movies were even released, so this week two shitty movies are released.  Go see “The Muppets.”

Other Thoughts
Last night’s episode of “Community” was the last before they began their forced hiatus.  NBC is putting “Up All Night” in their slot, but it is still going against the most popular sitcom on TV, “The Big Bang Theory.”  I think NBC is going to learn that they shouldn’t put anything against TBBT.  They should just put a rerun of “Seinfeld” in that slot.  NBC is the worst network on TV, and if you pay attention to anything they do outside of their Thursday comedy block, you can really tell why they’re getting destroyed in the ratings.  But, at least they’re beating the CW network.  The episode of “Community” was excellent, by the way.  It was a spot-on parody of “Glee,” with hilarious musical numbers.

  2. Alec Baldwin has friends?? More likely his abused children, being further abused by his ALL-CAPS comments reminding them of how thoughtless and pig like they are.

  3. He's good in Glengary Glenn Ross at least. And 30 Rock. Plus, he's pretty good at yelling at teens.
