MOVIE BUZZ – Starring Zach Galifianakis in the strangest trailer of the year. I have no idea what this movie is really about, but it’s worth noting for two reasons. 1) Zach Galifianakis. 2) It outdoes those bizarre homemade Mike Gravel ads in terms of surreality.

MOVIE BUZZ – Exceptionally beautiful Irish actor is soon to become a household name as buzz builds for The Dark Knight. His previous roles in 28 Days Later and Breakfast in Pluto won him acclaim, but not heartthrob status. Yay, I have a new desktop centerfold! He is my new Zac Efron.

MOVIE BUZZ – Troma team churns out a movie that’s being called a “satirical sexploitation zombie chicken gross-out musical extravaganza.” Please watch the trailer. Bizarre sex acts and explosive diarrhea make this movie a must-see, but the best part is, you can justify all the mindless schlock because it is actually socio-political commentary on the fast food industry.

MOVIE BUZZ – The Hillary Downfall video is but the latest in a long series of Hitler videos that rely on subtitles for the jokes. Der Untergang, a German movie about the last days of Hitler, came out in 2004. In August 2006, YouTube user DReaperF4 posted a Spanish-language satire using the movie’s pivotal scene, wherein Hitler finally realizes the war is lost, with subtitles about the release of a new flight simulator game. An English version followed, and then imitators with jokes about Hitler’s car being stolen, Hitler being banned from XBox Live, Hitler being angry about the Patriot’s Super Bowl loss — and now, Hitler as Hillary, angry about the superdelegates.
