Movie Buzz The official Oscar nominations are out this morning and as always, your favorite movie didn’t get nominated. If you were a member of the Academy, which actors or movies would you have voted for?

When actors have a movie out, it’s customary that they publicize the film by saying nice things about it. Customary, but not required.
Movie Buzz What movie do you love but know is just awful? Post a youtube clip or poster below.

He calls it the “…most miserable experience I’ve ever had in my professional career”. But hey, the money was good. At least he’s honest?

What were these Hollywood studios thinking? Sure, they’d like to blame the dip in movie tickets on the economy, but these stinkers sure didn’t help matters.

Only you can prevent bad movies. If the public won’t stop paying to see films that make them want to claw their eyes out, Hollywood won’t stop making them.

And the franchises that ruined them. Promising acting careers can be derailed by many things — sex scandals, drug habits, bad hair — but the most insidious cause is choosing the wrong franchise.
Movie Buzz Self-professed geeky blogger Kyle Vanhove analysed the correlation between the number of explosions in Michael Bay films and US box office revenues. Unfortunately, in the Bay universe, more explosions = substantially more wonga.
Now we all know the reason why. Let us make sure it never happens again.
This may be the worst shark ever witnessed on film or TV. Or maybe it’s the best. Thoughts?
Just send this fund the $15 you were going to fork over to see M. Night's next disaster and hope it helps make the damn thing watchable. (via Vulture)
Culture Buzz You're at the video store. You've got two movies and you're looking for the third… 'cos it's free. You see a movie and it stars That Guy. The one from That Movie That Was Soooo Good, Remember?. Here are ten guys who were in Those Movies, but have turned their careers into a skid. Off a cliff. With bad CGI,
Movie Buzz In this corner, we have a wildly unlikable former Grey's Anatomy star who's still coasting on Knocked Up. And in this corner we have Penny Lane. Who will win the battle of the KHs Who Star In Really Bad Romantic Comedies?! (The “winner” is the woman in the worst movies.)
Manos: The Hands of Fate is widely known for being one of the worst movies ever made (and roasted on MST3K). Naturally, some die-hard Manos fans have decided it's time for a sequel and have put together a video announcing THE MASTER'S RETURN!!! Via Slice of SciFi.
Movie Buzz Sure studly Jake Gyllenhaal will give moviegoers a reason to splash out $14 for tickets to a mediocre take of a classic computer game. MTV has constructed a neat Lego-based trailer of the flick to help persuade you … but they're competing against a storied list of Lego Prince of Persia remakes. Let's compare and contrast.
It's basically Chucky but with a black puppet, and way more fucked up. If anything, anything at all comes out of watching this trailer, it's that the phrase “break my dick” will become a permanent fixture in your vernacular.
Everyone loves Robin Williams! (Or do they?) The fast-talking comedian with a million impressions, has had quite the roller coaster career. That said, I disagree completely with this visualization's take on 'Jack' — the only movie to ever feature Jennifer Lopez and have real HEART.
Movie Buzz Inspired by a post by Lindsey yesterday, what is the best worst movie you've ever seen? Try to think of something really drastically bad that is also amazing, post a trailer or movie poster to the collection, and explain why you love it.
In the most diplomatic marital dispute ever, Kirk Cameron shows his range in what may very well enter the canon of Most Unintentionally Hilarious Films Ever, Fireproof. And yet, in spite of Kirk Cameron's decidedly unsexy teen idol-cum-missionary status, we still think he is The Hotness. Call us crazy, but we do. Actually, call Kirk Cameron crazy, cuz he is!
Yet another Christian Bale remix (sorry), but this time it's Jennifer Aniston getting yelled at. This is both funny and important, because if you pay money to see this movie, then you deserve what Mr. Bale is dishing out. Verbal abuse is not a joke; it is a tool to dissuade women from seeing apocryphally bad self-help films.
