No really, apparently today actually is Star Wars Day. Well brandish your light sabers, nerds, because here are a bunch of Star Wars Kama Sutra positions to celebrate with. Storm Trooper masks not included. (FilmSchoolRejects)

David Hasselhoff’s sobriety took a little turn to nearly drinking himself to death this weekend. Oh, and his teenage daughter found him again. What a guy. (Webster’s)

Early buzz on Wes Anderson’s big screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox is looking good. We might have a winner, here. (FilmExperience)

Mickey Rourke is planning to get plastic surgery to fix all the bad plastic surgery he’s gotten. This is almost definitely a good idea. (AgentBedhead)

Here are the creepiest kids in horror movie history. (BloodyDisgusting)

If this video doesn’t bring a smile to your face, then you are a heartless bastard. And since that only describes roughly 40% of Pajiba’s constituency, the rest of you will probably melt into muddles of goo. Thanks, Phaedawg! (gizmodo)

Hayden Panettiere tries her darndest to make the Vulcan hand gesture. (Popoholic)

The Vatican is trying to obstruct the filming of Angels & Demons. Really? That doesn’t sound like them at all whatsoever. (WeAreMovieGeeks)

Ayds to help you lose weight, and other unfortunately named products. (mental floss)

Since many of you are caught up in baseball fever, here is: As They See ‘Em: A Fan’s Travels in the Land of Umpires, by Bruce Weber, reviewed. (SecondPass)

Aww, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard got hitched this weekend, possibly making for the best hyphenated last name ever. (DListed)

Disney has ended their long-running marketing contract with McDonalds and is now going to use their brand to promote healthy eating, so you can get a little Zac Efron with your avocado. (Celebitchy)

This might be the most tasteless thing I’ve ever posted in a Pajiba Love before. Two words: Tampon prank. And I have none other than Phillip Stephens to thank for it.

I'd be OK if an asteroid hit the people in that video.

Every day is Star Wars Day, but this May 4th nonsense is nonsense. Sounds like someone trying to make "fetch" happen.

Posted by: Jay at May 4, 2009 1:21 PM

That "Stand By Me" video filled my heart with so much joy.

Then the tampon one scrubbed out that happiness with a brillo pad the size of mars. *voms*

Wes Anderson’s big screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox

Saywhatnow? SQUEE.

Danny the Champion of the World would be an awesome movie, also.

Posted by: twig at May 4, 2009 1:26 PM

That is one heartless bitch. Even after he starts puking and having a panic attack, she still doesn't tell him it's fake.
Her next prank? Smearing her shit in his mouth and a machete to the balls. Because she's a professional.

Posted by: Kballs at May 4, 2009 1:31 PM

WHY?? Why did I click on that video??? WHY??

Posted by: Melissa at May 4, 2009 1:47 PM

He was obviously a tool. He said Yo like 12 times. I think more douches like that deserve a tampon-slappin'.
Look at him. Puking like a Freshman.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 4, 2009 1:58 PM

Star Wars day has been around for a long time. It isn't new, it is just catching on for for some reason. I don't know why it has taken so long.

May the 4th be with you.

Posted by: Tra at May 4, 2009 2:01 PM

Jesus Christ, did he vomit blood?!?

Posted by: snapnhiss at May 4, 2009 2:21 PM

Ok first, I'm all tearing up over the Stand By Me cover. That was awesome.

But then, that last video. Dear God. Is it bad if I giggled because even WHILE he was throwing up, he kept asking "why would you do that?" and KEPT calling her babe?

Yeah, he's a douche with a weak stomach, but seriously, what would possess her to do this? Also, could he not smell cocktail sauce all over his face? It was right on his nose. Anyone with three brain cells to rub together would realize it was a joke.

So in conclusion, they deserve each other. The end.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 2:25 PM

I see by your comments that I stopped watching that prank video at just the right moment.

Now I think I'll go back and watch the Stand By Me Video again, just to scrub the little bit that I did see from my brain.

Posted by: tamatha at May 4, 2009 2:26 PM

Great video. (Of the buskers. I couldn't bring myself to watch the tampon one...)

And do we now call the happy new couple GyllenGaard?

Posted by: Odnon at May 4, 2009 2:31 PM

So, did any of those nameless street musicians get PAID for making that video? It's a great video, but I'd be happier knowing the artists got a little cash for their effort, especially since the recorders appartently can afford to fly around the world.

Posted by: BWeaves at May 4, 2009 2:35 PM

I think I'm more grossed out by how much they called each other "baby."

Posted by: Geetch at May 4, 2009 2:38 PM

You're right, one of the videos put a smile on my face.

It just wasn't the one you thought.

Come in, that tampon video was hysterical!

Posted by: Uncle JR at May 4, 2009 2:41 PM

I am both incredibly happy and kinda disappointed I couldn't watch the tampon pork and superhappyfuntimes videos respectively right now.

Also, they should totally be named Gyllenhaarsgaard. Awesome!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at May 4, 2009 2:41 PM

I am so not watching that video. Instead I'll just carry on with my day dream of The Rock all wet and glistening that was inspired by Jeremy in that other post. Mmmm. Dreamland is the best place.

And...I consider myself a pretty level-headed person, but oh god, that girl from The Ring freaked me the fuck out. I had to cover my TV for three days after I watched that movie. I like the movie and watch it a lot, but I still can't watch the scene where she comes out of the TV and aaaaaaah WHY. The other ones? Not so much. TV girl? FUCK NO.

And my HBO is airing The Orphanage soon. I'll have to watch it. Though I know it'll give me nightmares. Damn.

Posted by: figgy at May 4, 2009 2:49 PM

Wait wait WAIT

That was MISCHA BARTON under the bed?

Wow. WOW. And I thought she looked dead NOW. Wow.

Posted by: figgy at May 4, 2009 3:05 PM

Yeah, he's a douche with a weak stomach, but seriously, what would possess her to do this?

Maybe she was tired of being called "babe". Yo.

Posted by: admin at May 4, 2009 3:11 PM

God I hope the Vatican blocks that abomination, and excomunnicates Tom Hanks' hair and Dan Brown.

Happy Star Wars Day!

Posted by: George at May 4, 2009 3:17 PM

admin Well obviously hitting him with what he thought was an actual used tampon doesn't even cure him of that, since he KEPT calling her babe even while puking. That's some devotion right there. Yo.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 3:37 PM

#1) why would anyone pull that prank?

#2) why would anyone film that prank (and keep filming when it has clearly gone too far?)

And D)Why in the world would you want to subject us, your loyal readers, the ones who love you, to that?

Posted by: Duane at May 4, 2009 3:38 PM

Actually that video now has me wondering how different guys would react to that. I mean, I can see Mr. Snuggiepants first of all thinking I had lost my ever-lovin' mind (that's not my style at ALL). But I doubt very seriously he'd puke. He'd give me a stare of death, wonder aloud when I lost my mind and go clean it off. Then be angry at me for about 24 hours, even though it was fake. But he wouldn't freak out and puke like that.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 3:40 PM

I once pulled a tampon prank. I dipped a clean tampon in jam and threw it into a room full of semi pubescent classmates while we where staying in a hotel on a skiing trip.
It stuck to his leg for half an hour while my friends and I lay on the floor, screaming laughter, utterly hysterical.
He had no idea what it even was, nor did his room mates

RE "Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard this weekend"

Um, I know what they did this weekend, and from the context of the sentence, it's pretty easy to figure out, but you still need the words "got married" in there. To make it all official-like. Because maybe they didn't get married. Or maybe they just got matching tattoos. You kinda left the most important part of the sentence, information-wise, out of the sentence entirely.

RE tampon: no desire to perform - or watch someone else performing - anything involving a tampon. Just no.

But The Rock wet and glistening? Yes.

Posted by: Slash at May 4, 2009 3:52 PM

Respect Saarsgard's authoritay, after saying farewell to his beloved he and his troops will take Richmond from the hated Union.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at May 4, 2009 3:57 PM

Also, I think Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard should combine their last names as if they were a bank merger, by squishing their names together, maybe leaving out a few letters, to introduce their rebranding:

Maggie and Peter Gyllengaard
Maggie and Peter Haalgaard
Maggie and Peter Gyllensars
Peter and Maggie SarsGyllen
Peter and Maggie SarsGyllengaardhaal

Try your own combos, it's fun!

Posted by: Slash at May 4, 2009 4:20 PM

Sorry about the tampon clip, guys. I knew I shouldn't, and yet ... I just couldn't help myself.

Posted by: Stacey at May 4, 2009 4:25 PM

I cried laughing at the tampon. I can not believe that when he starts puking she's still insisting that it's real. They absolutely deserve each other. I'm so glad I don't know these assholes but I'm glad this video came into my life.

Posted by: Cara at May 4, 2009 4:33 PM

You'd figure a pussy that big would be used to a tampon by now.

Posted by: firedmyass at May 4, 2009 4:54 PM

I as guy who has lived in an apartment with a woman for the past four years, I can honestly say that bloody tampon was not very convincing.

Posted by: chris at May 4, 2009 5:13 PM

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Saarsgard: Officially the indiest couple ever, just edging the soon-to-be-wed Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard.

Posted by: ChristianH at May 4, 2009 5:18 PM

Stephen King didn't invent the Grady Twins, they aren't in the book. I hate it when people can't keep what happens in Book The Shining and Movie The Shining straight. They did it on an episode of Friends once, too. Grump.

I know, it's a stupid thing to get worked up over. You don't have to tell me.

Posted by: Sarah at May 4, 2009 5:56 PM

I had a college roommate who would take hers out and leave it on the edge of the tub while she took a shower, then forget to get rid of it after. Good times, good times.

(Don't ask me why the hell she'd take it out for the shower, I don't know. Or why she didn't just get rid of it immediately, it's not like she was going to use it again. It grossed the rest of us out to no end.)

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 6:00 PM

RE Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 6:00 PM: Jesus Dffing Christ, to me, that would be grounds for expulsion. If you lived in campus housing. Or just move out one day without telling her and leave her with all the rent, if it was off-campus.

Seriously, that shit is beyond normal. I'm a chick and that grosses me the fuck out, if you can't tell.

Posted by: Slash at May 4, 2009 6:40 PM

Meant that to be "Effing," not "Dffing." Sorry.

Posted by: Slash at May 4, 2009 6:41 PM

Slash it gets weirder: we were under strict orders not to ever let her boyfriend know she used tampons. He was a big evangelical right wing holy roller and he thought using them meant she wouldn't be a virgin.

When she first asked us not to ever say anything, I said "would he ACTUALLY ask your roommates if you use tampons?"

I knew the answer before she said it. Why yes, he would. Freaky-ass CREEP. And she MARRIED him. She ended up somehow getting a PhD in chemical engineering, which everyone knew was going to be useless once she married him. She had to be a stay at home wife even before the kids.

Don't get me started, I wanted to slap her six hundred times.

RE Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 4, 2009 9:06 PM

Oh, OK, I get it now. She was/is out of her goddam mind. Gosh, I hope they have lots of kids that they warp so thoroughly that it will keep several therapists and/or prostitutes working full time when the kids reach adulthood. It's a kind of long-range economic stimulus package.

Posted by: Slash at May 4, 2009 10:17 PM

I usually dip my woman's pussy in barbecue sauce, but ... cocktail sauce? *smacks self in forehead* How did I not see it? It's so obvious now. COCK? TAIL? Hahahahahaha.

I'm gonna try that right now.

*heads for refrigerator*

I haven't watched the tampon video (I'm at work). I'm sure it's gross.
But seriously, some men are ridiculously squeamish about that stuff. I once had a male housemate who took about half an hour to work up to telling me I'd left an (unused, completely wrapped) tampon in the bathroom. Horrors! I honestly thought I'd done something awful in a drunken fugue, like crapping on the coffee table. But no. He just couldn't cope with the sight of a wrapped piece of compressed cotton wool.

Course, the squeamishness didn't extend to sparing me the sight of his whiskers in the sink and his skidmarks in the loo every morning...
