The New Michael Myers Will Eff Your Ess Up

By Stacey Nosek | Posted Under Pajiba Love | Comments (39)

Here’s a first look at Rob Zombie’s Michael Myers for the Halloween 2 reboot. This man is clearly not to be trifled with. (BloodyDisgusting)

Aww, what a shame. Billy Bob is taking his ball and going home. (Webster’s)

I would just like to say that I’m proud that Pajiba was apparently one of the few outlets to review Mysteries in Pittsburgh that didn’t point out Sienna Miller’s mustache. You know why? Class, baby, class. (Celebitchy)

Jody Hill, the 32-year-old writer-director-producer of Observe and Report talks about a few of his projects including his HBO series “Eastbound & Down.” (AV Club)

What would you do if you became an evil overlord? Apparently this list has been going around for a number of years now, but this is the first I’ve heard of it. Thanks, Neon! (EvilOverlord)

Mini-dirve: What are your most anticipated summer movies for 2009? I am kind of looking forward to Drag Me to Hell which I regrettably didn’t catch at SXSW, even though I will probably cry the entire time like TK did. (RopeOfSilicon)

Anyone know why we haven’t seen much of Sinbad lately, other than his guest spot on “Always Sunny?” (QuizLaw)

Karate Kid didn’t just inspire a generation of kids to want to be ninjas, it always inspired a generation of shitty movies. (ScreenJunkies)

If this isn’t the sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is. The eldest Duggar spawn is breeding. Yeah, and not the fun, Hellmouth Buffy apocalypse. (DListed)

Check out these completely hilariously insane workplace safety videos. Some of these damn nears puts Michael Bay to shame. (mental floss)

Here’s a list of the top ten most controversial sex scenes, some of which make the alleged date rape scene in Observe and Report look like fluffy kittens. (spout)

Amazon has ethical priorities. It’s totally OK to sell books teaching men how to manipulate women into having sex with them, but a lesbian dating guide? The horror! (Jezebel)

Just for fun, here’s a bunch of embarrassingly crappy drawings of celebrities. (HolyTaco)

Today’s clip is a WWI reenactment with dogs. Yes, dogs. It’s fantastic, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Thanks to The Wakeful!

The celebrity crappy drawings are classic. Good find, Stacey.

Irresistable weiners! Hee hee!

New banner! Rawk stahhhh!

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at April 13, 2009 1:29 PM

Those workplace videos will never compare to WSIB's ads. The "Top Chef" one is the worst thing I've ever seen.

OMG-OMG-OMG! Guys, check out the ad: Twilight is casting now! Eeeeeeeeeee, be still my sparkling heart!

*Bwahaha* Just had to get that out of my system. Oh, and for the record, that was the first and only time I will use the acronym that starts with O and ends with G. You saw it here, folks.

Posted by: meaux at April 13, 2009 1:29 PM

Oh, please. Let's not revisit Observe and Report. I'm all raped out.

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at April 13, 2009 1:32 PM

Holy shit, did you see that guys arm get ripped off and then noodled around that weird turny thing? What in the fuckity fuck?

Thanks god for that adorable little dog War vid.

Ok so the Evil Overlord list was so wonderfully delicious, I had to send it to all 4000 dorks on my email list. It was fun trying to guess which movie each one referred to. There was an awful lot of Star Wars and Indiana Jones on there.

Most anticipated movie of the summer in the Snuggiepants household is the May release of the Star Trek movie. Even the 14 year old girl is squeeing over it. But Mr. Snuggiepants practically hyperventilates every time a commercial comes on for it. He better not build it up too much or it'll be a repeat for him of the Lord of the Rings Let-Down 06 or whatever year that was.

Oh the Duggar thing? Just hold me. I'm scared. Watch, the mom's going to announce baby #37 in a few hot minutes because she did have the last one as long ago as DECEMBER. It's about time she got pregnant again, don't y'all think?

Her uterus PRAYS for menopause. PRAYS. Ever seen a praying uterus? It's a sad sight to behold. Lemme tell you guys, my girlie doctor was once telling me about my cervix (such a weird conversation to have, but he had some things he needed to tell me about it) and he mentioned casually, sort of off-hand, that it was all "pockmarked" and I was like "WHAT?" and he chuckled and said that was just from having been pregnant and given birth, very normal and common.

I gave birth ONCE. One time. And the cervix apparently suffered irreperable surface damage from that. Ma Duggar has given birth what, 17? 18 times? Her poor cervix is probably thinner than a store-brand tissue. They don't ever mention things like this, but I'd bet good money they have to put a stitch in it with every pregnancy and had to start doing it with about the eighth or ninth at the latest. Maybe before that one.

And now this poor girl: the wife of the eldest one. She's pregnant (shocking that it took so long) and is going to have to have child after child after child until her body just waves a white flag and gives out/up. Some time in her 50s, most likely. She has around 30 YEARS of childbearing ahead of her. Now that I'm seriously depressed, I'm getting back to work. (Heck even Ma Duggar might have another good decade of childbearing left.)

Is the chef one the one with the explosive pot of fire? That makes me fearful of Canada.

Summer Movies?

Wolverine - Yes, I know it will suck. I'm prepared.
GI Joe - My GI Joe was the pimp of the Barbie mansion.

The Dogville movies are all so good. They used to show them on TCM in between features. I remember turning on my TV once right after waking up and being so confused.

I'm sure the creators were super upset when they were no longer allowed to bother and annoy dogs with fancy costumes and peanut butter mouth. I bet their ancestors are the people who dress their dogs up in Joker costumes for Halloween.

Posted by: Marcela at April 13, 2009 2:04 PM

Too bad they got the title wrong. It's "All's Quiet on the Western Front," not "So Quiet." Yeah, I'm being picky, but I don't understand why folks can't be bothered to look up a title before their movie goes to print.

Posted by: Lucas at April 13, 2009 2:07 PM

And I am a retard. It's "All Quiet," not "All's Quiet." Yay!

Posted by: Lucas at April 13, 2009 2:07 PM

Yeah Melody, where she slips carrying a pot of boiling water and the skin sloughs off her face while she's shrieking in agony. GOOOOOOO CANADA!


...Tetsuo!

Posted by: Snath at April 13, 2009 2:09 PM

Thanks Snath! I saw that one and the other one. After that, I stared at the screen for 5 minutes, saying "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH CANADA??!!??!!"

It's disturbing on at least 15 levels.

Posted by: Melody at April 13, 2009 2:22 PM

Oh good lord, Snath and Melody, isn't that the most disturbing ad ever? Best of all, they played it during prime time. Yeah, um, not the sort of thing you want to be watching during dinner.

Posted by: meaux at April 13, 2009 2:29 PM

You can find the list of the "stripped" LGBT books on Amazon on the Meta Writer page on Live Journal. It includes real controversial shit, like James Baldwin and D. H. Lawrence.

I can't remember how to make a link linky. Sorry.

Posted by: courtney 2 at April 13, 2009 2:30 PM

Dang, those Canadian workplace spots are a wicked ride. Shew, hehehe.

Posted by: Rykker at April 13, 2009 2:32 PM

And the only two films I'm looking forward to are Star Trek, and Drag Me to Hell.

Posted by: Rykker at April 13, 2009 2:35 PM

Most anticipated movie of the summer?

Star Trek. Hands DOWN. I am not even a Star Trek fan, but god I desperately want to drag my die-hard ST fan of a fiance down to watch this movie and watch his face (not even the movie, just his face) contort in horror and disgust as the movie goes on. Because it's gonna be one fucking giant mind melt.

....I think there might be something wrong with me.

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 2:36 PM

I figured you guys might get a kick out of that dog video. Too bad Stacey GOT MY NAME WRONG! Aw, I'm just kidding, I couldn't care less if there's an underscore in there or not.

Posted by: The_wakeful at April 13, 2009 2:36 PM

I can't get the MentalFloss link to load (curse you, Wegman's free wifi!), so I apologize if I'm reposting something they mention. Just the other day, I saw the most horrifying safety video EVER, called "Will You Be Here Tomorrow?":

www.youtube.com/watch?v/LAnAaFgjiiA

I'm in a hurry, apologies for not linking to it. But it is terrifying! I was watching it in a library, which was a terrible idea, because I screamed when the first appendage gets ripped off.

Posted by: Melissa at April 13, 2009 2:54 PM

Me, I'm very excited to see Star Trek because I think I'll like it, not for any sado-masochistic reasons. And Half-Blood Prince of course. I'm planning on seeing a few others, but that's where my real enthusiasm is.

Posted by: Jay at April 13, 2009 3:24 PM

Terminator: The Terminexingest, beeyotches.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at April 13, 2009 3:31 PM

I've been getting excited about Half-Blood Prince again. It's been way too long.

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 3:31 PM

Yes, need more Potter.

Posted by: Snath at April 13, 2009 3:37 PM

Loved those crappy drawings, with chubby diabetic Pierce Brosnan as my favorite, and (presumably) Stephanie Zimbalist in the background casually holding a gun, like she's waiting for him to finish posing for his picture before shooting him.

Posted by: DeadBessie at April 13, 2009 3:56 PM

D'oh. I oughta fucking get my fucking ass kicked -- I forgot about T4.

Posted by: Rykker at April 13, 2009 4:04 PM

I'm excited about the Half Blood Prince too, if only because it promises more Snape. Like someone pointed out before, he's in his sixties and sports a lanky wig, and yet I still want a piece of that. Those eyes, that voice--I just want to stride into Hogwart's and give poor Severus the lovin' he's never had.

Posted by: DeadBessie at April 13, 2009 4:45 PM

Oh! T4! yes, of course that too. Two good movies to look forward to. Hurrah!

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 4:46 PM

And hate me if you want to, but after Dustin's recent post, I want to see Wolverine now more than ever. Because oh boy that's gonna be a fun train wreck.

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 4:57 PM

I totally forgot about T4.

Wolverine will inevitably suck. HARD. Will I still go to see it? Hell yes. Will I hate myself for it? Probably. Do I give a damn? Not a chance.

Posted by: Melody at April 13, 2009 5:01 PM

Heehee. You know, after Wolverine comes out I'd really love to see some statistics of the viewing audience. I wonder how many (repeat) viewers will be women? I mean, tell me those spots aren't aiming precisely at women (and gay men) who like to look at hot men doing stunts and getting sweaty? You know, like me?

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 5:04 PM

"If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw."

that whole list was hilarious.

Posted by: gp at April 13, 2009 5:32 PM

aren't aiming precisely at women

Once the full cast came out I took my hands off of it. "This obviously ain't for me, but I know a buncha women..." Have at it!

I can't get into "Salvation" as it looks like the Transformers movies but without the childhood connection to the characters for me, and I understood what people who don't care about the Transformers felt. But Bay's Optimus Prime was Optimus Prime enough for me, so I'll be back for that this year. And I do like mysterio conspiracy stuff so I'll go watch "Angels & Demons" too. Hey, at least Tom knew he needed a library, and for something a library does provide.

Posted by: Jay at April 13, 2009 5:35 PM

I love the new banner.

I confess I kind of loved 'Transformers'. Yes, it was terrible and stupid, but it was also kind of hilarious and didn't take itself seriously at all. And who doesn't like giant robots stomping around and killing each other?

Angels and Demons, though? Eugh. Everything Dan Brown does is tainted with suck.

Posted by: figgy at April 13, 2009 5:49 PM

The Evil Overlord list was full of win. I would love to see a movie that incorporates most of them. Imagine, an action movie where the bad guy actually wins because he doesn't do really stupid things that ultimately ensure his failure. I'd pay to see that.

Posted by: Slash at April 13, 2009 6:47 PM

I kinda liked Transformers, too. I saw it at the $1 movie, so Michael Bay or whoever didn't get too much of my money.

Posted by: Slash at April 13, 2009 6:49 PM

My most-anticipated movies of the summer are 'Drag Me to Hell' and '500 Days of Summer.' Loooooove JG-L, and am hoping that Zooey finally has a decent project.

Posted by: Mimi at April 13, 2009 9:17 PM

My favorite of the work place safety ads, aside from the face-melting chef, is the one where the chick is leaning stupidly out from the top of a ladder, falls off and goes crashing through a glass display case. Eeeeheheee! Why don't they show shit like that in the US? Just like putting pictures of diseased lungs on packs of cigarettes. Probably much more effective than the lame-o warnings we've got now, but since it still won't stop me from doing stupid things, it is great amusement.
