because studios are greedy fucks and they assume since its 15 years old, no one remembers it and they'll try to pass it off as an original movie (like with Arthur)

So I saw Insidious the other day, and it was actually fairly good. Much better than either Paranormal Activity, and actually had some cool creepy moments.
However, hands down the funniest thing to ever happen to me in a movie happened during it, but it requires me to spoil the movie just a lil' bit.
******SPOILER ALERT********
So there's this one bit where all these demons are coming in through a portal at the end, and they're all walking really slowly, sort of like the original zombies, not that fast running shit like in 28 Days Later. So I'm there, y'know, not too scared, the part was pretty horribly done. But then this old man walks into the theater in the EXACT SAME FASHION as the zombie demon things in the movie. I mean, he had the angled walk, the slow shuffle, and wasn't saying a word. So naturally, the first thing that jumps into my marijuana addled young brain is "Oh my god, they hired this guy to do this in every movie to enhance the horror effect." I mean, it was eerie. Some guy in front of me then just yells "What the fuck are you doing, man?" and then he just stands up and says "looking for my mother in law." then walks out. All dramatic tension was then lifted, the entire theater burst into laughter and the climax of the final scene was ruined. I was in stitches.

I'm sure some here will facepalm this but i'm gonna give it a chance
Adam Shankman's twitter account won't let anyone forget about his upcoming adaptation of "Rock of Ages" (certainly in the populist "Hairpsray" mold) and Will Smith is actively working on an adaptation of "Annie" for his daughter Willow to star in (a project Ryan Murphy circled and passed). Now, Universal Pictures and Tom Hanks' Playtone productions are embarking to quickly bring the Tony Award-nominated "American Idiot" to the big screen.
Adapted from Green Day's critically acclaimed album of the same title, the movie will be directed by Michael Mayer who also helmed the stage production. Mayer won a Tony for directing "Spring Awakenings" but has big screen experience with 2004's indie misfire "At Home at the End of the World" and, um, "Flica." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dustin Lance Black ("Milk") will write the film's screenplay. More intriguing, however, are rumors that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong may star in the musical's leading role. When Armstrong stepped in for a short run earlier this year the show's ticket sales skyrocketed. No word though on how close Universal or Mayer are toward shooting or whether Armstrong would seriously play the part.
It's worth noting the Playtone team were the primary producers on "Mamma Mia."
The "Idiot" news is also noteworthy considering Universal just pulled the plug on a big screen version of "In the Heights." There were a number of reasons why, but one of the strangest was show composer and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda insisting he play his original role on screen. The studio was looking for a more recognizable names in supporting roles, but the available actors weren't big enough to justify a $37 million budget. Universal also has the rights to a movie version of "Wicked," but producer Marc Platt seems in no rush to get that project running considering there are a slew of competitive Oz related movies in the works.
Out of all the things on tv, that is small. I'm looking at television as a whole and what shows air new episodes. I thought King of the Hill was done? I can name a few I enjoy and that's King of the Hill, Robot Chicken, Supernatural, True Blood, Weeds. I can't name any more at the moment
NCIS The Killing (new show on AMC, its amazing!) Beavis and Butthead Scooby Doo (older stuff) Monk GameTrailers TV White Collar Pawn Stars American Pickers The Mentalist Sons of Anarchy Mythbusters MonsterQuest MysteryQuest Sons of Guns not to mention all the awesome specials The Discory Channel and The History Channel have on +many more
