It looks like The Avengers MIGHT receive the Avatar treatment this August, according to an article on superheroauthority.com. The Three hour directors cut, which director Joss Whedon has spoken about prior, may be released in theaters at the end of the summer in preparation for the super mega blu ray release of the film. It’s no secret that The Avengers made exactly a metric fuck ton of money and currently holds the #3 spot of all time domestic gross ($573M), behind Avatar at #1 ($760M) and Titanic at #2 ($658M).

Fake Movie Friday – The Computer Whisperer
Welp. Another week and I have nothing for this weeks #FMF. So…. here’s another title I have written down in an old notebook:
The Computer Whisperer
Let’s make this quick because this idea does’t deserve much space…(Spoiler: it’s so fucking long still)

The D is Silent
:Insert something mildly racist but heartwarming and funny here:
Out this Christmas, Tarantino’s latest, Django Unchained, doesn’t exactly feel or look like one of his at first, but it definitely sounds the part. I enjoy that. Check it:
Fake Movie Friday – Prefontaine 2: Blade Runner
Welp… Yeah… the title says it all. I’ve got nothing for this week. Not that I ever have something any other week. I had this title written down in an old notebook. This is by far the worst FMF yet, there is no real story arc or anything and I still wrote too much it. Not to mention this is probably the only FMF we’ve done that could not become an actual film.
Before we start, the poster for this will be similar to Weird Al’s Running With Scissors album cover.
For reference:
Moving on…
Fake Movie Friday – Hackers 2: Hack the Planet
FRIDAY!!! I really do look forward to this, and I wish I could shut up about it. BUT I CANNOT AND WILL NOT. I also wish I could write a shorter treatment at some point, these things go on forever. This week I’m trying my hand at the set up sequel, the one where nothing really happens and it’s obvious a third will be coming since you just watched 2 hours of pointless shit. For your reading pleasure: Hackers 2: Hack the Planet
All of Rihanna’s dialogue from Battleship
Movie Movie Supplement! And not that stuff you would find in a weird smelling new age store (no offense to our weird smelling new age store owning readers, but seriously it’s weird; to our normal smelling new age store owners, keep up the good work!). I found this list on http://gammasquad.uproxx.com, so all credit goes to them for this. Well them and Rihanna. 68 lines in total, the same number of lines Orson Wells speaks in The Third Man (that’s a lie):
Movie Movie Podcast #5: Dicship
B5…It’s a hit! You sunk my podcast! That’s right, it’s a new week and we’ve been hard at work, hitting the theaters, seeing the movies you don’t want to so you don’t have to. Join Peter, Russ, Alex and myself as we discuss in great detail the plots (snicker) of Battleship and The Dictator, talk about Russ’ brothers graduation (congrats Mike!), and bask in the lush, plush studios of The Goo in NYC (http://www.thegoo.com/) for our most professional podcast ever thanks to our good friend, #1 fan (maybe?), sound engineer and editor Matt Giordano! Thanks a million Matt! Recorded on May 21st 2012 and featuring The Raiders March composed by John Williams.

Fake Movie Friday: Explosive Surplus
Another Friday means more fake movies from your friends at MMP! We really look forward to Fridays here, probably because we hope some day someone will read one of these and think, “fuck yeah I’d like to see that!” Then they’d make it and we would talk about it on the podcast. Oh! I guess we could start making movies, but then what would we bitch about all day? I’ll take a stab at an action movie (OR IS IT?) this week with:
Explosive Surplus!
(PS This is so fucking long and awful. I apologize infinitely) (PPS I got the title from a random phrase generator because I couldn’t think of anything else and I liked it a whole lot)
