Liveblogging the MTV Movie Awards

9:58 - Well, another year, another MTV Movie Awards, another five, maybe six awards given out. Thanks for watching with me. I need to go be alone with that Fright Night preview again. Good night!

9:56 - Seriously. If they’d put Taylor Lautner in Avatar they wouldn’t have needed a stitch of makeup.

9:54 - Re: Busey, I like my crazy, semi-special celebrities to just be crazy and semi-special on their own. When you pull them out and put them on MTV, it just feels impuren and like the joke is on them. I like the joke on them where it belongs: behind their backs.

9:52 - See, if you want people to really care about your human/vampire affair, you gotta make with the banging. Buffy and Spike. Those two did it right (and a lot, in lots of places).

9:50 - They did not focus nearly enough on the “they totally bang” aspect of that trailer. I know tween/teen girls. They like when pretty people bang. Please see all aforementioned Fear references and, boom, you have my youth.

9:48 - My favorite film trope: “I’m so mad I just need to rip my shirt off about it!”

9:46 - That’s awesome. Also awesome, Emma Stone winning things. I like when people I like win things for things I like.

9:43 - I’m pleased Charlie Day is in things. More people should have seen Going the Distance. It was really good. WAIT HOLD ON did they even just reference the January Jones babydaddy sitch? Rewinding.

9:36 - I ridicule teen girls for hating Selena Gomez dating Bieber. But then I realize that’s me with Georgia Moffat. We never grow up; the boys just get older and foiner.

9:35 - I’m still experiencing nether tremors after that Fright Night preview. David was shirtless on my television. It’s a whole thing.

9:34 - Emma Watson is shaking her head at Kristen Stewart. Me too, Emma. Me too.

9:32 - Ashton Kutcher has terrible comic timing. Like, he’s not funny, and that’s a whole other thing, but who delivers a punchline on a laugh? What’s your deal? Why is everyone wasted? Hold your fucking liquor, Hollywood. Maybe if you people at more carbs, you could drink better.

9:29 - The things, you guys. The things I’d do.

9:29 - DT. Weirdly hot emo guyliner. A gun.

9:28 - Fright Night exclusive? HELLO, David Tennant. Speaking of Freebie 5. DT is the whole list.

9:26 - Was this small child around while Robert Pattinson went off on his weird mom-fucking, drunken thing? If so, awesome. Extra awesome.

9:25 - I have a Freebie 5. Jason Segel is super high on it. Call me, Seegs.

9:24 - I get Tyrese and Tyson Beckford confused apparently, as I just spent three minutes trying to find a Toni Braxton music video featuring Tyrese. This does not exist.

9:22 - Tyrese is very shiny.

9:20 - On the same tier of awesome as Fear is The Crush. I need to find a way to blog about nothing but those two movies for the duration of the summer.

9:18 - There are some of you out there who haven’t seen Fear. You need to fix that. That’s on you. If you don’t, I will punch myself in the well-toned man-tit until you do so. Wiiiiiiiiiillld horses…

9:16 - Blake Lively gets TOLD, Part 2 of the evening. Well done, Reesie. There’s still some of that Nicole in there after all. Let’s go stab Marky Mark with an umbrella and push him out a window! (Oh no, the Fear has taken over.)

9:13 - There hasn’t been enough Fear in here, but in my mind, there wouldn’t be enough unless they just played the whole movie, so I’ll allow the amount they used.

9:13 - We needed some Freeway up in here. I’m pleased with this montage.

9:10 - THANK YOU CHELSEA HANDLER. #Nicole4Eva

9:09 - MTV censor FAIL. We got our first “fuck” through of the night, courtesy of drunk as fuck R. Patz.

9:08 - No one has ever been drunker/coked-er upped-er than Robert Pattinson.

9:07 - Reese Witherspoon is getting the Generation Award? If they don’t talk about Fear I will fuck some people up.

9:05 - I’m not one to tell my fellow ‘jibans that their opinions are wrong. But, you guys, when it comes to Lady Gaga, your opinions are wrong. She is the light and the way.

9:02 - Bieber is wearing earrings. God I hate when parents pierce their babies’ ears.

9:01 - I’m really excited for Deathly Hallows 2: Electric Bugaloo. I loves me some Potter.

9:00 - Sometimes I’m all “Robert Pattinson, ugh, lame, whatever.” Then sometimes he talks and I’m all “yeah I’d hit it.” Also he’s totally drunk.

8:59 - Selena Gomez just had a twigasm.

8:58 - Teen girls - 1; teen boys - 0.

8:57 - If Natalie and Mila Kunis don’t win this, I’ll lose my faith in the internet.

8:56 - Haha, I like when Blake Lively gets TOLD. Want her to get told more? Read this again! Shill!

8:54 - Some people are awesome on SNL and also awesome at other things. I am sad to say J. Sudes is not. He’s a little too yelly “that guy” in everything he does.

8:52 - Twitter update: One of the top trending topics is “Poor Selena” because Jason Sudeikis made fun of her dating The Beebs. I say “Poor Selena” because dating the fetus when you’re a cute 19-year-old is kinda sad.

8:49 - Re: the commercial for some new ABC Family show - Jesus, Lea Thompson got old. Is ABC Family where our ’80s icons go to bloat and die? Stay away, Ione! Be free!

8:46 - I can’t get it up to trash Twilight right now so I’ll talk about David Slade. I saw him at Comic-Con in a panel with a bunch of other horror directors and he was such an obnoxious penis. You know who wasn’t? Lucky McKee. Which doesn’t quite forgive I Spit on Your Rape Movie Poster.

8:45 - What the hell is Not-Megan Fox wearing? She’s dressed like a Real Housewife of Shady Pines Retirement Community.

8:44 - Did the audience just scream in fear at stage fireworks? That’s adorable. God love stupid people.

8:43 - I’ve heard Sudeikis is a major asshole. I can definitely see it.

8:42 - Query: Has anyone EVER made a good bodyswitching comedy? I’m genuinely asking.

8:40 - Also, was Bieber wearing Ross’s outfit from the Friends Thanksgiving ep when we see him and Chandler in their Flock of Seagulls days? I have a lot of Bieber feelings.

8:40 - Also, did Bieber just win an award for his performance in his concert documentary?

8:38 - Wait, did Bieber just punk us? “OH MY GOD I TOTALLY THOUGHT HE WASN’T THERE BUT HE WAS TOTALLY THERE.” I…just…I don’t…am I too old?

8:35 - What an enormous waste of Chris Evans. I’m so mad about it, I’d like to talk about him for awhile whilst I ignore the show. You know what’s an awesome movie? Not Another Teen Movie. It gets unfairly lumped in with the Movie Movies and I don’t approve of such things. Fuck that noise.

8:33 - That was the first time I’ve seen the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trailer, and it makes me nightmarey. I don’t like the mokey people things.

8:31 - Because I’m developing a problem in this area, let’s take more bets: bet of the moment - what will be the next job-based movie starring Kevin James? My pick: Kevin James IS The Barista. He falls in love with a manic pixie dream girl who works the drive-thru, then gets kidnapped. He has to save her using three things: his girth, coffeebeans and a talking mug named Dexter.

8:29 - Let’s take a break during the musical interlude: Doctor Who was crazy good this week, AM I EVEN RIGHT? (pertinent Daria reference) Is it fall yet?

8:26 - Oh Dave Grohl. You still give me “like when we used to climb the ropes in gym class” funny feelings.

8:25 - I wonder if there’s a mathematical equation that can be used to determine the exact point in time Jim Carrey began making me sad.

8:23 - Draco Malfoy was barely in that movie, and was super bummed about having to fight Harry and co. Christoph Waltz does more evil during his bubblebaths than this kid’s done in 7 movies.

8:22 - Sweet Christ on a greasy forehead, Steve Carell, what is happening to your hair right now?

8:21 - Okay, let’s be real during commercial break: I chose to liveblog this because I wanted to watch it but needed a reason to do it so I wouldn’t get annoyed with my choice too quickly.

8:17 - I’m glad MTV still does the “show bits of red carpet during commercial breaks” thing, so we can all get a good look at Kristen Stewart’s “Wonder Woman on Ice” dress.

8:15 - Is Elle Fanning a giant, or are J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg only three apples high?

8:14 - Remember when Robert Pattinson was in that movie Surprise 9/11? Good times.

8:13 - Guys, when even I can’t feign outrage at Twilight winning things, you know that we have lost the war.

8:12 - Kristen Stewart is so high right now. (it does not matter when or where you read this. It will always be true.)

8:11 - God dammit, I failed. Time for Sheen-centric joke: the instant I hit “save” on this bitch.

8:10: Ladies and gentlemen, we have our first Schwarzenegger joke of the evening. *golf claps* What’s the over/under on when we get a Sheen joke? I’m calling it at 9:01 CT.

8:09 - Emma Stone is back to the red. Pleased.

8:08 - Please tell me SOMEONE screencapped the angry girl next to Selena Gomez. PLEASE. She did NOT approve. Probably because she’s going to murder her later tonight while screaming “BIEBER IS MINE!!!”

8:08 - Trends that must die soon: the weird Native American headdress headband, similar to that of Cher’s “Half-Breed” period.

8:07 - I’m glad Sudes knows Hall Pass was a fetid ass nugget. Because I’m still mad about it.

8:06 - Gaga’s bedroom? Please. Low blow. Gaga’s bedroom is entirely adorned with Laura Ashley furniture. And, yes, by the I mean furniture made of various women named “Laura” and “Ashley.”

8:03 - Taylor Lautner = human na’vi. Someone else has to recognize this, yes?

8:01 - When your award show starts with Chelsea Handler, you’ve already lost me.

8:00 - HI GUYS. Let’s do this.

this has been exceedingly awkward so far.

(not you. the show.)

Can you please pretty please switch around so that the most recent snark appears at the bottom of the column, rather than at the top? Zipping up and down between your column and the comments is bad for people's mouses and wrists and sense of humor, and make the Baby Godtopus cry tears of ink.

A )Hall Pass was filmed largely at the sleaziest bar in my town, and yet I find myself there not infrequently. So, long story short, I'm bummed it sucked so hard. B) I couldn't give two shits whether or not The Change-Up was good, because I'm going to the theater pantsless and ignoring the dialog anyway. It was also filmed in my neck of the woods, and it's one of the great tragedies of my life that I was unsuccessful in my attempts at RyRen stalking. C) This show is awful. I am also too old.

8:42 - Query: Has anyone EVER made a good bodyswitching comedy? I’m genuinely asking.

All of Me? With Steve Martin? Back when he was funny? No?

Well I liked it. I mean, it's no Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid but it made me laugh.

Posted by: Ballymena Bob at June 5, 2011 10:02 PM

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have finally just confirmed what we've known for the past three years.

Posted by: Jeff at June 5, 2011 10:05 PM

Just read this sucker backwards. Go me.

Posted by: grace b at June 5, 2011 10:08 PM

Lady Gaga. Never. Fails to entertain. I'm too old for her music but I love her anyway.

Posted by: Jerce at June 5, 2011 10:11 PM

I hope the 'Best Editing' award goes to the MTV Movie Producers for making 4 movies look like 40 movies with the Reese Witherspoon Montage.

Posted by: Jeff at June 5, 2011 10:15 PM

Fear is available on Netflix Instant. Just FYI.

That's disappointing to hear that Sudekis is a jerk. Because I would hit that. Hard.

8:42 - Query: Has anyone EVER made a good bodyswitching comedy? I’m genuinely asking.

Movie? No. But Buffy and Faith managed to pull it off with wit and aplomb.

Query: Shall I blast the meatbags, master?

9:52 - See, if you want people to really care about your human/vampire affair, you gotta make with the banging. Buffy and Spike. Those two did it right (and a lot, in lots of places).

True Blood understands this. That's why they got with the Sookie and Bill banging right off the hoff. They'll drag it to 17 seasons and I'll STILL to watching to see if Sookie and Eric finally do it. And if it's not hardcore borderline porn, it doesn't count.

Posted by: Laurie at June 5, 2011 10:59 PM

I just started reading and right off the bat, I'm going "HELL YES" to the line about Chelsea Handler. I cannot stand that woman.

Posted by: Figgy at June 6, 2011 12:22 AM

Other thoughts:

1) I hate monkey-people things too. That whole series of movies freaks me the fuck out.
2) I liked Freaky Friday? Mostly because Jamie lee Curtis was so funny in it.
3) Segel? Ick. Tennant? Ick times a million. But we can still be BFFs.

Posted by: Figgy at June 6, 2011 12:31 AM

I can see why some pajibans wouldn't be into Gaga. But I'm into her, even a few of her songs. Even if you think she is a farce I think she could do some good with her message for some kids. That wouldn't be the worst thing to profit off of.

It's The Number 23

Posted by: Fredo at June 6, 2011 3:51 AM

How about ignoring the MTV Movie Awards instead of wasting your time and internet energy while live-blogging it?

Like Beck and Palin, you only give it (and I stress "it") more power.

Posted by: Clark at June 6, 2011 4:57 AM

Triple that on the monkey-people stuff. I also hate people with wings. YES ANGELS!!! Gives me the creeps, wings sticking out of a person's back.
And men dressed as women, super icky. Sorry cross-dressers but it is so.

Posted by: kirbyjay at June 6, 2011 9:54 AM

My favorite movie is Freaky Friday Fright Night. It's the one where my husband switches bodies and mind with David Tennant for a weekend. Hurrrr....

Posted by: Jessica Dwyer at June 6, 2011 9:57 AM

This made my morning. I'm gonna go watch "Fear" now.

Posted by: Sarah Carlson at June 6, 2011 10:08 AM

Posted by: greg at June 5, 2011 10:34 PM

I thought of a TV show too. There's a pretty cool episode of Justice League, where the Flash and Lex Luthor switch bodies. Maybe it's got just enough juice to last for 30-60 minutes, but not enough to carry a whole movie.

Posted by: Socrates_Johnson at June 6, 2011 10:12 AM

I remember a time when Jim Carey dressed up like some Blue Oyster Cult fiend and kissed another dude on stage (I...think? otherwise i fantasized that part?), and the lifetime achievement award went to William Shatner or Godzilla, and there was an award for "Best Turkey Sandwich in a movie." It was a simpler time, for sure, but I'll be damned if I said it didn't pain me more than just a little to know the Movie Awards went from an all Shatner cast of Se7en "What's. In. the. Box?" to whatever the fuck I just wasted my time reading a recap of (no hate, C-Low b/c your snark and love of Fear was appreciated, but to be blunt, the [content of this] shit was whack).

The fact that I'm even commenting on this (as evidence that I read about the Movie Awards) makes me hate myself that much more. Goddammit, Pajiba! This is why we can't have nice things!

Answer to body-switching query: Yes! See "Turnabout" from 1941 w/Carole Landis - the scene of her with a tool belt hiking up a phone pole is golden!

Posted by: JD5 at June 6, 2011 2:02 PM

I'm tardy to the party, but here is my input on this thing I saw 3 minutes of (the Bieber of Seagulls part -- YES! He totally stole Ross's outfit):

There's no way the "Poor Selena" TT can be about the assassinated ranchero singer, is there? #BidiBidiBomBom

A-fucking-men! Lady Gaga IS the light and the way.

Also, what Fredo said about The Number 23. Jesus, ugh. I'm glad that when I watched it, it was from a pirated copy of it that my ex's friend brought over. If I had to pay to see that turd nugget, I would have been SO so pissed.

I will see the Jason Bateman/Ryan Reynold's Freaky Friday thing, because I heart JB and because RR -- I'd hit that so hard, he'd turn into a people-monkey thing.

Finally, UGH!!! with Twilight. I hate it so much, but at the same time, I think RPattz is probably an actually cool guy. Except for the whole Kristen Stewart thing. What even is she, guys? Her body language and hair situation is completely off-putting.

Posted by: MeganTheFirst at June 6, 2011 3:34 PM

I watched most of this... I like to make fun of things. It's so blatant now as a promotion vehicle for movies, it's harder and harder to make fun of. Also, if I had made a drinking game out of twilight winning an award, I'd be dead right now.

I hadn't heard that Sudeikis was a jerk, but that girl hate staring after gomez got made fun of was hilarious.

The world needs more Charlie Day. Fact.

RE: Body-switching comedy

"The Great Brain Robbery" from Justice League Unlimited. Incredibly hilarious, and short enough to not wear out the concept's welcome.
