New Hot Tub Time Machine Trailer is definitely NSFW

But it does encompass everything I miss about movies from the 1980s.

Warning: This trailer is full of dirty language and does feature boobies, so you’ll have to take the jump to watch it.  Remember, only click the More After The Jump button if you are over 18.

Seriously. I don’t want to hear complaints from uptight mothers who found their young lads looking at a pair of boobies, believing it to be the downfall of society.

Conan found, and it isn’t Arnold

Deadline Hollywood is often dead on when posting rumors, so we’re going to believe the crew over there this time with their announcement that 30-year-old actor Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan in the Lionsgate Millenium Films latest adaptation of the Robert E. Howard’s classic character.

Sources said that director Marcus Nispel was sold on Momoa, and won over the filmmakers by shooting a few trial scenes that allowed Momoa to wield a sword and behave very Schwarzenegger-like. This keeps the film on course for a March 15 production start in Bulgaria

Sounds good to me.  Let’s get this project in front of the lens, and then get it in theaters.

Remembering movies from the ’80s – Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo

Occasionally I’ve been dropping the trailers from the movies of our childhoods.  Okay, so movies from MY childhood…

It’s a constant references dropped throughout the site, so now it is time to fully appreciate the horror that is Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Sony names new Spider-Man director

It didn’t take Sony long to find Sam Raimi’s replacement to direct the next Spider-Man film.  According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marc Webb will be helming the next installment of the franchise. According to the article, Webb will use the Jamie Vanderbilt script, which caused Raimi to exit the project and “will look and feel very different from the big movies that went before it.” The company will also be scaling down the budget of the flick to the $80 million range and feature a cast of unknowns.

That doesn’t sound good, does it?

On the plus side, it does look like the new film will be based more on the Ultimate Universe Spider-Man than the 616 Spidey.

Webb’s breakout film was (500) Days of Summer staring Zooey Deschanel.

Sneak Peek: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

Here’s your first look at the February 23, 2010 release of Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is an original story from award-winning animation/comics writer Dwayne McDuffie (Justice League) rooted in DC Comics’ popular canon of “Crisis” stories depicting parallel worlds with uniquely similar super heroes and villains. Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Lauren Montgomery (Wonder Woman, Green Lantern) and Sam Liu (Superman/Batman: Public Enemies) are co-directors.

In Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, a “good” Lex Luthor arrives from an alternate universe to recruit the Justice League to help save his Earth from the Crime Syndicate, a gang of villainous characters with virtually identical super powers to the Justice League. What ensues is the ultimate battle of good versus evil in a war that threatens both planets and, through a diabolical plan launched by Owlman, puts the balance of all existence in peril.

The movie features an all-star voice cast led by Mark Harmon (NCIS) as Superman, James Woods (Ghosts of Mississippi) as Owlman, Chris Noth (Sex and the City, Law & Order) as Lex Luthor, William Baldwin (Dirty Sexy Money) as Batman, Gina Torres (Serenity, Firefly) as Super Woman and Bruce Davison (X-Men) as the President.

Bruce Campbell vs. Frankenstein announced

Ain’t It Cool News is breaking the story that Bruce Campbell is reprising his role as Bruce Campbell from My Name is Bruce in an all new movie that begins filming this fall.

Hello everyone. Bruce Campbell here. This urgent message is short, because my keystrokes are monitored and I fear for my life. My partner at Dark Horse comics, Mike Richardson (normally a very rational and talented man), threatened to have his foot soldiers “crush my spleen” if I did what I am about to do. But the fans deserve to know, so with great trepidation I officially announce Bruce Vs. Frankenstein, the sequel to My Name is Bruce. Principal photography begins this fall in Oregon. I’d like to live long enough to see the cameras roll, so please, for the love of God, do not tell anyone – I can’t risk this announcement getting back to Mike! Thank you.

I’m a bit disappointed by this news. While Campbell can and has done some very amazing things, My Name is Bruce was less than a good story.  Still, Bruce is Bruce, and I’m sure I’ll see this one as well.

What about you?

Agent Coulson to appear in Thor flick

Clark Gregg, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that appeared in the first Iron Man movie is reprising his role in both Iron Man 2 and the Kenneth Branagh Thor flick.

The character is the latest to appear in multiple Marvel productions as the comicbook company’s film division preps for the eventual production of “The Avengers,” which unites Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor in one pic. Marvel has been keen on brokering deals with actors to make sure auds will recognize characters when they crossover and appear in its other films.

It make sense, and it is something I greatly appreciate. At least they aren’t pulling a Billy Dee Williams with this character.
