Clearly, We Need To Name-Bomb The Paranormal Activity DVD

thumbnail: Clearly, We Need To Name-Bomb The Paranormal Activity DVD

Yesterday, I got an email (that's right, I get emails, no big deal!).

As PARANORMAL ACTIVITY makes its way to the $100 million mark at the box office, we are thanking the fans who turned the movie into a nationwide phenomenon by featuring their names in the credits for the film's DVD release!

Uh, you're welcome?! So I followed the link to a website* where you provide your name, birthdate, and email address by the deadline of next Monday (11/9) at 12 PM PST, and your name will (supposedly) be included in the credits on the DVD release. Great! I haven't even seen this movie yet, and I don't know if I ever will, but I am very into being in the credits of this movie. Besides, I've done my part. I'll send a copy of the DVD to my mom and just be like "Bam! No more talking shit about me in the Family Newsletter. I'm basically the President of Movie Credits now, it's very impressive. Now the girls want to take ME to the movies."

But then I realized something else: this is the perfect "mission" with which to launch our new prank troupe, Videogum Everywhere.

Richard Heene's Psyience Detective Theme Song Vic Mizzy is not even in the ground yet, so he will have to save up those grave rolls, but Richard Heene commissioned theme songs for his reality TV show ideas!!! They are hilarious and awful. He even plays bass on them? What an American Treasure that guy has turned out to be (not be).

How Long Until The Latoya Jackson Scene From Bruno Leaks?

thumbnail: How Long Until The Latoya Jackson Scene From Bruno Leaks?

It was reported last week that a scene from Bruno in which Sacha Baron Cohen interviewed an unsuspecting (isn't she always?) Latoya Jackson, was being temporarily cut just hours before the Los Angeles premiere. Oh, sorry, quick bit of background information: Michael Jackson died. R.I.P. Michael Jackson! OK, so, now it looks like the scene will officially be cut from the movie. From RiskyBusinessBlog:

The sudden death of Michael Jackson on Thursday prompted a series of discussions at Universal Pictures that resulted in the studio cutting a Jackson-related sketch from "Bruno" only hours before its Los Angeles premiere.

Uni removed a scene in which Bruno, the flamboyant Austrian journalist played by Sacha Baron Cohen, interviews an unsuspecting LaToya Jackson about a number of topics, including her brother.

Among the gags is a joke about the King of Pop's high-pitched voice, as well as an attempt to discover his contact info (Baron Cohen grabs LaToya's phone), as well as a reference to his trademark white glove, etc, all done in Baron Cohen's characteristically absurdist tone.

The scene played at press screenings earlier in the week, where it did not stand out as unusually outrageous in the context of the pic's other antics.

Maybe it didn't stand out as unusually outrageous in the context of the pic's other antics earlier in the week, but what about now, after Jackson's death on Thursday?

The Kenny Powers Audio Book, You're Fucking Out, I'm Fucking In

One of the running jokes in Eastbound and Down, the best fucking show that was on television, was Kenny Powers audiobook, You're Fucking Out, I'm Fucking In. It was the fount of Kenny's wisdom, and a fountain of laffs. Now, someone has done us all the service of supercutting those moments together into a solid LOLk investment. Smart. Whoever made this has the mind of a scientist.

The Kenny Powers Training Video, Motherfuckers

On last week's episode of Eastbound and Down (the best fucking show on television), Kenny's assistant (and the Junior High music teacher), Stevie, interrupted Principal Cutler's barbecue to show everyone a training video he and Kenny had made to help get Kenny back into the majors. This is that video. Hold on to your shit.

The best. Did you know Kenny Powers is on Twitter? No? Then you're an asshole. (I'm just kidding, guys. I'm trying to pretend that I'm a bullet-proof tiger like Kenny Powers so I use curse words to impress you. BFFz.) God, I wish this show was my dad.

Keep our troops in Iraq. 9/11. (Thanks for the tip, Rand.)

EXCLUSIVE: Deleted Scene From The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

You guys have got to check out this scene from Benjamin Button. Cate Blanchett is feeding him an apple. David Fincher is a genius. I can't believe they didn't include this in the movie. What a love story!

The Videogum "Tracy Morgan Promise": Dear Tracy Jordan

thumbnail: The Videogum "Tracy Morgan Promise": Dear Tracy Jordan

In the spirit of The Office webisodes, there's a new series of bonus web mats (that's slang I just created for "web materials," it's so nuts) for 30 Rock in which "Tracy Jordan" answers viewers' questions. But the line where Tracy Jordan ends and Tracy Morgan begins seems so thin as to be indiscernible even to the man himself, it's basically just Tracy Morgan sitting in a chair answering viewers' questions. Hearing his views on crayon politics and how frog babies are made is good, but more importantly, Dear Tracy Jordan finally answers the question: should Tracy Morgan have a helmet soldered to his head with a camera mounted over the top of the helmet so that the camera is facing Tracy Morgan's face, recording everything that he does, that recording then streaming somewhere, anywhere really, be it a website or a dedicated cable network?

You know, "the" question.

Pixar's Bonus Features Are Better Than Most Regular Features

This seven minute animated short, Burn-E, is a companion piece to Wall-E, and when you are a companion piece to something that is the best, that makes you the best. It's called math.

(via BuzzFeed)

They shouldn't even allow stuff like this on YouTube because it just makes me feel bad for all the other YouTubes. Aww, sorry you didn't have one of the most technologically innovative production houses that also happens to understand the importance of strong, intelligent writing behind your trampoline vlog, 14-year-old. Also they don't allow stuff like this on YouTube, so watch it before it gets taken down.
