I know, I know. This story has been done to death … but it just keeps getting better. And come on — who’s not still morbidly interested?

So Verne “Call me Mini Me and I’ll have a breakdown” Troyer’s ex girlfriend Ranae Shrider allegedly beat the shit out of him — and threw him upon the floor. Shrider in turn accuses the miniature movie star of abusing both her and her dog with his little walking/reaching stick. Which one’s in it for the publicity, do you think? The sale of the sex tape has been banned but I’m inclined to believe Troyer didn’t want it out because 1. it’s personal and intimate (…and gross), and 2. well, why should he want to show his dangling bits to the world? He only played a tripod in the movies, I doubt there’s any baby’s arm holding an apple in his tiny pants. Plus Shrider … well, she’s already told the world that he was bad in bed, but that he “tried hard,” which is just a death sentence. She might as well have said his junk was “cute.” Anyhow I don’t think he’s fighting it strictly for the publicity, because we all saw him naked and whizzing in the corner on the Surreal Life anyway.

Check out home girl’s acting skills and think about it a little. Oh. In case you haven’t seen it enough, there’s also some little person lovin’ (more…)

I’m seeing a disturbing trend here. The whole cannibalism in Iowa bit was heavily facetious on my part, but this debacle taking place in Canada is the real deal. We have a Greyhound bus, traveling to Winnipeg. We have a 22 year old, well loved little guy named Tim McLean. We have a small Chinese man, whom acquaintances and coworkers describe as quiet, unassuming, and unobtrusive — but aren’t they all? By all accounts Vince Li, 40, came back after a bus break and abruptly started stabbing McLean, his seat mate. The other passengers fled — like you do — and throughout the course of the ordeal, Li went on to behead McLean, wave his head about like a trophy, and then commenced to, in the words of the RCMP, “hacking off pieces and eating it.”

The whole thing is beyond disturbing and the news accounts aren’t nearly so chilling as the RCMP’s audio commentary, which was leaked to the press.

It’s the Montauk Monster! It’s a horribly mutated, nuclear waste corrupted, genetically modified dragon! It’s a decomposing super raccoon! Whatever it is, it was clearly a dude. The people who “discovered” it are getting all cagey in the wake of Jeff Corwin’s expert opinion (which was given quite sarcastically, considering the source). Some folks are calling Photoshop, some are calling plain old B.S. It seems like the ladies (I use the term loosely) who found the pitiful thing either want the American public to think they’ve discovered a new species or that maybe the government is genetically engineering a new species of a bird-beaked dragon dog.

Still, it’s maybe a raccoon, it’s maybe a dog, its bones are maybe languishing in some stoner surfer’s backyard, but whatever, it’s frigging creepy looking and it’s driving people insane.

No seriously, look at the way these people react (more…)

A hot day in Iowa, a few beers, a shovel, and some hors d’oeuvres. In this case, the delicacies were not shrimp wrapped with prosciutto or delicate little little fingers — they amounted to a nose and part of an upper lip. Basically that dude up there, Matthew Osing, was drinking with his friend Donroy Merrival on July 24. They got into an argument, Osing — in fear of his life or something — hit Merrival with a shovel. In return, Merrival pulled a Mike Tyson and bit his buddy’s nose off — get that? He didn’t just bite it, he bit it off. And it has not been found. Osing theorizes that either Merrival himself swallowed it … or the dogs got it. It’s a scene straight out of Hannibal, y’all, and the clincher is that Osing may face charges for hitting Merrival in the first place.

Far be it from me to repeat myself insofar as posting movie trailers, but … it’s Saw V. It is Saw V with Tobin Bell even though the beloved, sadistic, yet oddly philanthropic Jigsaw is dead.

The premise: someone discovers Hoffman’s secret, so naturally, he goes on a manhunt filled with a gleefully gruesome array of terror traps and torture devices. People are saying that Saw V is evocative of the original, with an evolution of blood, guts, and gore. Set, of course, to come out in later October of this year, it’ll be in theatres just in time for Halloween.

Jigsaw/John is the only movie madman who was ever able to steal away even a sliver of my undying devotion for Anthony Hopkin’s sauve, rasping Hannibal Lecter. Although a lot of folks are probably getting tired of the Saw movies, I myself find them a thrilling mix of artistic tone and an almost romantically morbidity.

Still, the teaser trailer is absolutely haunting. See for yourself (more…)

Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong will hit the road again together after years of verbal sparring, and are set to officially announce their plans later this week at Troubador in West Hollywood, where their act became popular in the early 70’s. The stoner stand-up pair already have a stop in San Jose planned for November 30th.

How could these two possibly re-hash (pun!) their old material. Why don’t they just drag the lifeless corpses of Laurel and Hardy out on stage and all four of them can beat a dead horse.

This is Brianna Frost. I mean, this is Brianna Frost’s ass. The reason you don’t see Brianna’s face is because we only like you to see what matters the most, and what you see above is a teaser picture from the hottest tease video ever. I’ve also collected some pictures and put them in a bonus gallery right after the video.

Well, too bad. The trailer got leaked during a recent Comicon, it was all over the place. And then, Marvel canned it. Of course they did. Why should they want to make us happy? Go ahead, look for it on YouTube. All you’re going to see is a bunch of messages telling you that the videos have been taken down due to a copyright claim by a third party. In other words, you just got reamed without the courtesy of a reach-around, and you’re just going to have to wait.

Strictly on the down low, though? If you do a little digging, you can find them on some alternative video hosting sites.

Of course, for the love of Gambit and Wolverine, I guess I could be a little sneaky (more…)

With all they hype surrounding comic book movies these days, it’s easy to forget the genre’s retarded. red-headed step brother: movies based on video games. There have been some good (Lara Croft: Tombraider, Resident Evil), and there have been some bad (pretty much everything else, but most notably Bloodrayne and House of the Dead), but it looks like they are on the upswing, with some films that have major talent on board scheduled to be released in the upcoming year, including Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhall, and a Street Fighter follow up that focuses on Chun-Li, starring Smallville alumni Kristin Kreuk.

The cream of the crop appears to be Max Payne. The game is already heavily influenced by the John Woo style of cinema, and is even referenced in the first version. The gritty, film noir elements in the third person shooter should also lend themselves to a cinematic adaptation. Marky Mark is slated to star in the lead role, and having the uber-sexy Mila Kunis attached couldn’t hurt either.

Awhile back we brought you a video in which NASA scientists made magnetic fields visible. Watch. Now those pesky magnetic fields are at it again, and this time, they are the key to unlocking the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, a naturally occurring phenomenon that has puzzled scientists for decades.

The key lies in Earth’s magnetic field, which protects us from solar winds. Every once in awhile our magnetic field snaps and..I’ll just let the guy in the video explain. Watch it (more…)
