The Amazing Spider-Man Is So Much Better With Jean-Ralphio

By

Ever notice that Social Network co-star and new Spider-Man Andrew Garfield kind of looks like Jean-Ralphio (Ben Schwartz) from Parks And Recreation? The folks at Collegehumor have, and took that as enough license to create this random but excellent remixed Amazing Spider-Man trailer starring Jean-Ralphio, and charitably released it on a week without a new actual Parks & Rec episode (urge to kill…faaading…)

I’m not being blogger-facetious when I say I am literally more interested to watch this entire movie than to see Spider-Man again. What if we replaced J. Jonah Jameson with Ron Swanson and Mary Jane with Leslie Knope and also it wasn’t Spider-Man at all but a Parks & Rec movie? It can still be 3-D, just make that happen:

5 Scenes From Home Alone Remade With Macaulay Culkin’s New Face

By

This somewhat horrifying photo of Macaulay Culkin appeared online today, raising some concern for the actor’s well-being, but Culkin’s camp has since assured the worried internet that the actor is in perfect health.

Since that’s cleared up, let’s play a game: What would the movie Home Alone look like if it were starring Current-Face Macaulay Culkin? It might go uhhhhhlitttle something…like this:

Spaceballs Comes True: Syrian President’s Hacked Password Was 1-2-3-4-5

By

To everyone who’s ever been frustrated when your work email forces you to change your password every couple months, listen up, because this story is effing hilarious:

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been under fire from world leaders to step down this week. He’s also under fire from hacktivist group Anonymous, who leaked hundreds of his office’s emails on Monday.

While Anonymous is infamous for its hacking know-how, it doesn’t take a genius computer programmer to guess one of the passwords commonly used by Assad’s office accounts: 12345. The string of consecutive numbers is the second-weakest password according to a 2011 study.

That’s right – the Syrian President’s office literally used “1-2-3-4-5″, the very same password infamously used by both King Roland and President Skroob in the movie Spaceballs as an example of a terrible password a quarter-century ago.

Below, watch the Spaceballs “combination” scene, which seemed like an exaggeration of presidential stupidity at the time:

The Best Effing “Learn To Speak English” Flier Ever Made

By

Here’s a flier for a “Learn To Speak English” meetup in Tel Aviv, Israel, featuring the most attention-grabbing and wholly appropriate movie reference on the subject:

Attention gotten! I can’t read the Hebrew part, but I’m pretty sure this is designed teach you English. Or it might be a meetup to casually discuss the differences between Israeli and American McDonald’s, I can’t really tell. You know in Israel, they call it a “Royale With No Cheese”.

The NSFW version is after the jump if you need it, motherf- sorry, sorry:

The Dark Knight Potato Head Is The Darkest, Grittiest Mr. Potato Head Reboot Yet

By

…Because we have to chase him. He’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he’s not our hero… he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector… a Dark Knight. Also he is a potato and you can pop his limbs off and it’s super fun.

Behold, Gotham’s morally ambiguous starchy protector, The Dark Knight Spud:

Intimidating! The Potato-Head-ified Dark Knight is currently selling for $17.99 online, which is a steal for something that so perfectly captures everything about the Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale Batman, right down to that cartoony diagonal smile that Batman is literally making nonstop throughout both films.

Now we just need to slip Potato Head into The Dark Knight Rises and we’ve got a crossover hit:

Darth Maul Pepsi Statue Is Even Cooler Than The Jar Jar Fresca Display

By

Here’s an extremely elaborate display of Pepsi cases in the shape of Darth Maul, partly to promote the 3-D Phantom Menace release, but mostly because it is a Star Wars thing and this is the internet so here:

Unfortunately, George Lucas went back and replaced all the cans with RC Cola, but it was cool while it lasted.

The Top 2 Groundhog Day Related Movies Of All Time

By

It’s Groundhog Day, and we on the internet are struggling to greet this holiday the same way we greet every holiday: With themed, numbered lists blatantly designed to capitalize on otherwise extremely minor events (think 11/11/11). Rather than conceding that there just aren’t many Groundhog Day related things and miss this golden opportunity, we have instead spent the day doing intensive pop culture research and engaging in passionate staff debates to come up with the following informative list that you should totally send to all your friends.

Behold, The Top 2 Groundhog-Day-Related Movies In Cinematic History:

2. Groundhog Day

This Bill Murray / Andie MacDowell classic functions expertly as an enjoyable, watchable comedy and as an insightful philosophical exploration of fate, love, inevitability, and self-betterment. It is, in our personal estimation, unquestionably one of the greatest films ever made about the holiday Groundhog Day.

And the #1 Groundhog Day-related movie of all time is……….

Every Wes Anderson Overhead Shot In One Appropriately Precious Supercut

By

Here’s a brief but excellent supercut of several dozen overhead shots in Wes Anderson movies.

There might’ve been a time on the internet where I would’ve typed that sentence then been like, “Wow, that is a really specific focus for a supercut,” but those days are long behind me, as my reaction instead was, “Sounds about right. Is it short? NICE. Good work, fellas!” [Bunch of dirty guys in construction hats give me a thumbs up]

Prepare to react to this way too dryly:

The Jurassic Park Theme Is Even More Epic On Melodica

By

Rather than spoil the following video, I’ll let the Description speak for itself:

Just got a melodica. Here’s my rendition of the Jurassic Park theme song. What do you think?

If you watch this and don’t laugh, that’s fine, I just don’t think we’d get along very well:

Perfect. Between this and the 90s Dance Music Megamix, it’s been quite a 2012 for the ol’ melodica. I will reverse this statement tomorrow when someone emails me “Sh*t Melodicas Say”.

(thanks, @lindseyweber!)

Try Reading This Sentence About The Stretch Armstrong Movie And Ever Looking Hollywood In The Eye Again

By

We’ve all ripped on Hollywood in the past and present and earlier today for running out of ideas and strip-mining every remotely recognizable thing that’s ever existed in the hopes of squeezing out something resembling a movie (see: Battleship The Board Game: The Movie), but this chunk of news (via /Film) about the conceived Stretch Armstrong movie – a film literally based on a rubbery toy man that no kid even liked – will cause even the most jaded eyes to roll:

Yet another Hasbro-based movie has bitten the dust at Universal. But this one, unlike Clue, Ouija, Monopoly and Magic The Gathering, immediately found a new home. Stretch Armstrong, which was originally set up to star Twilight-phenom Taylor Lautner and be directed by Rob Letterman (Gulliver’s Travels), has been dropped by Universal and picked up by their most-of-the-time partner in crime, Relativity Media.

Not only was a Stretch Armstrong movie in the works (starring Taylor Lautner of course, just to make it seem even more like an SNL Digital Short), but also, when one studio ended up scrapping the idea, another studio RUSHED TO PICK IT UP. “Dude, you’d be an IDIOT to let that movie about the stretchy rubbery toy man from 18-year-old commercials during Wild & Crazy Kids go to waste – at LEAST let us take a crack at it! That reminds me, can we also take a crack at that Wild & Crazy Kids movie? Omar Gooding is already attached.”

Also, the most ridiculous part of this sentence is the fact that it is more ridiculous than the previous sentence which mentions a movie based on a Ouija Board. I know we say this almost daily RE: Hollywood news, but what is anything anymore? At least our old pal Screenwriting Grad Student In The Inside The Actor’s Studio Audience is taking the news well.
