Haha. Blade is always photobombing people.
Whatever little champion made this already wins the Videogum Keys to the Internet. But surely we can make this even better (worse):

Early reviews of Transformers 2 have been coming out all week, and it seems almost unanimous that this is probably if not the best movie ever made, then at least the most thoughtful and intelligent. Variety gave it four Tweed Blazers, its highest honor, and the Hollywood Reporter said it "is like Albert Einstein but a movie." Meanwhile, in Empire's review of the movie (via FilmDrunk, Gawker), an exciting new detail about the Decepticons* is unveiled:
A notable moment occurs during the dementedly frenetic final act of Transformers 2. A robot-on-robot fracas is unfolding around Egypt's Giza Necropolis, with Devastator, an especially massive mechanoid comprised of several construction vehicles, set on clawing its way to the peak of a pyramid. As it lumbers up the dusty colossus, a shot tilts up to its mid-section, revealing two wrecking balls dangling down. Yes, Michael Bay, the man who brought us cyber-micturition in this movie's predecessor, has one-upped himself: Decepticon testicles.
You just know that Michael Bay had a giggle fit when he thought of that one. He ordered a round of high fives for the bar, and then masturbated himself to climax in his race car bed. But the thing is, that's not even clever. Not just because of the obvious reason, which is that it's not. But also because of the reason that this already exists.

The new season of Entourage premieres on HBO Sunday, July 12th, but I'm going to save us all the headache right now with this SPOILER filled plot summary of the entire season.
Vince goes to work on Martin Scorsese's new movie, but he has problems on the set in the heated conflict of Hollywood egos. Or maybe he sleeps with a beautiful woman and somehow that turns into something mildly dramatic that doesn't matter. Or both. Ari tells E that he better solve this issue with his "boy" if he really is going to keep calling himself a manager. Lloyd is gay. Ari calls Vince and squeezes a stressball. Vince is so laid back it's crazy. It's almost as if he doesn't even care about being famous. Ari bangs on his desk, he is so angry! Lloyd says something "super gay." And pouts. E has moved into a fancy new office, because it is six months later and we need to show that success never ends. Insert stilted, terrible celebrity cameo. Martin Scorsese thinks that this movie is going to take Vince's career to the next level. Johnny Drama asks if there is a part in it for him. Vince buys everyone something really expensive as a gift for being his friends. Turtle gets some "pussy" on the side. There is a pool party maybe? E gets teased for being too nice to women and not just shitting all over them. Ari's wife is mad at him! So he buys her something! Small condescending subplot about how they are Jewish. 50 Cent is on the show, and it is ridiculous, and awful. Does his cameo have something to do with Turtle's music management career? No one cares. For one week three episodes before the end of the season there is tension when it seems like maybe something will be taken away from Vince, or as if there are any stakes whatsoever in this show. Within 15 minutes of the finale that tension will dissipate, and everyone will go out for high fives and champagne. The season will end with Vince buying a private island on the moon because of how he has all the fame again. The show leaves viewers wondering whether or not Vince will ever get even more famous and happy.
The end. (Image via Nah Right.)

Yesterday in a round table discussion with other showrunners, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner complained about people on the internet spoiling the plot points of his show. As if in response, today the internet gave up two paparazzi shots of the set that seem to definitely answer one question posed in Season 2's cliffhanger. This is definitely a spoiler, and by clicking the link below and following the jump you are officially assuming the blame. With great curiosity comes great responsibility, don't come cryin' to me, etc. Pictures:

The Hollywood Reporter has some interesting roundtable discussions with the Emmy-nominated showrunners Matthew Weiner (Mad Men), Shonda Rimes (Grey's Anatomy), Greg Daniels (The Office, Parks And Recreation), Alan Ball (True Blood) and Katie Jacobs (House, M.D.), and Jenji Kohan (Weeds) including this one, where the producers share how they really feel about anyone who dares to spoil any part of their shows. They start out talking about the network promo departments and then get into fans on the internet, and their hostility shows, so it's kind of funny. Unannounced spoilers ARE bad, but remember guys, WE MADE YOU.

Stay In Your Seats During The Credits Of The Hangover • Because apparently there are pictures of Zach Galifianakis getting a bj from an older lady, and who would choose the front of the theater lobby bathroom line over that?
The Hangover comes out this weekend, and it looks very good to me. They're killing it with the movie posters. It's got Videogum favorite (and basically everyone else favorite) Zach Galifianakis. And despite what the New York Times said this weekend, I don't consider "Las Vegas bachelor party" to be the oldest plot device in the book of plot devices. I'm not saying "Las Vegas bachelor party" blows my mind with its Charlie Kaufman-esque moebius nesting dolls of narrative invention, but it seems like a perfectly acceptable framework on which to build one's TOWER OF LAFFS.
Anyway, there is yet another new red band trailer out today, after the jump. Personally, I think they can chill with the trailers at this point. There have already been over 1,000 iterations of the trailer for this movie. Relax. But I'm not President of Trailers, so I don't get to make those kinds of decisions. (Yet.) Nevertheless, this trailer does have some new laffs in it, and also some new CLUES!

Well, we couldn't just have funny, stand-alone episodes forever. That would be like if they just had cannibal monster mother episodes of The X Files forever (awesome.) No, they have to get to the "mythology" of the show's premise and pay the piper mother. Last night's show revealed itself at the end to be a time-shifter fakeout, but saved itself (for me at least) with a Guided By Voices montage at the end.
