Untertainment Weakly (4-27-12)

By Jake

Hulu picked up the show “The Awesomeness” created by Seth Myers.

“Real Time with Bill Maher” has been renewed by HBO for two more seasons.

FOX has ordered a fifth and final season of “Fringe.”

Christina Ricci will voice Vexi, the evil version of Smurfette, in “The Smurfs 2.”

MTV is “rebooting” its movie awards with new categories and an academy of voters.  Yet, Justin Timberlake will still sweep the awards for his role in “In Time.”

Mel Gibson has joined the cast of “Machete Kills.”

Jessica Chastain is in talks to join “Iron Man 3.”

Gina Carano is in talks for “Fast 6.”

Jenna Fischer claims that the entire “Office” cast is coming back for another season.

On May 6, Scott Aukerman and Zach Galifinakis will bring “Between Two Ferns” to Comedy Central for a 30-minute special.

“Think Like a Man” is the #1 movie in America!

Adam McKay is in talks to direct an “Uptown Saturday Night” remake.  Great!  We need more fucking remakes.  Will Smith and Denzel Washington are already attached.

“Yes, Dear” reruns are coming to Nick at Nite, proving that it’s not a network for classics any longer, if that wasn’t apparent by the endless reruns of “The George Lopez Show.”

Matthew Perry Watch

Matthew Perry’s show “Go On” was picked up for 13 episodes by NBC.  

Movies Out This Weekend
The Pirates! Band of Misfits 3D - Directed by the other, non-Nick Park, director of “Chicken Run,” “The Pirates,” has actual potential to be a pretty solid, if not very good, children’s movie.  Take your kid!  See it by yourself high on marijuana or peyote.  Smoke salvia during the film!  It’s in 3D and cartoons are amazing in 3D.  I was planning on seeing this, but it’s not playing until 7pm tonight, so I’m going to see “Cabin in the Woods” instead.

Five-Year Engagement - This movie looks sort of like shit, which is unfortunate because it is the same writing team behind the excellent “The Muppets.”  Jason Segal stars and writes this flick about, I suppose, an engagement that lasts for five years.  Allison Brie, Emily Blunt and Chris Pratt also star.  So, this could be your thing.  It could be my thing, but the trailer looked so bad.

The Raven - John Cusak stars as Edgar Allen Poe, who I guess is writing the poem “The Raven” in this movie.  The trailer makes it look like he’s fighting evil or some shit.  All I know is that it looks horrible, has a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes, and you would be a real asshole for going to see it.

  3. I would have see The Pirates! if the only time wasn't so late! Cabin in the Woods was great, though! I loved it! It was like Scream, but much better.

  4. Salvia is Not Fun. Do NOT try to watch cartoons or do anything but stay home and eat pizza if you're on drugs. STAY IN SCHOOL.
