This is a great thing. Especially the scene where Spongebob is Don Vito Corleone.

More Harry Potter. Kinda.
If you liked Harry Potter enough when you were young, you may have come across the spin-off books Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Throughout the Ages, the latter being somewhat less exciting considering it was the history and rules of a sport that does not exist, the rules of which were not at all consistent with the Harry Potter series.
Luckily, J.K. Rowling has decided that Fantastical Beasts and Where to Find Them should be it’s own movie series. Fuck yeah.
The film will centre on the author of the textbook, Newt Scamander, as he documents all the magical creatures that exist in the world. This guy used to be a Magizoologist for the Ministry of Magic, so you know he’s legit. Or he was legit. The film will be set around the 1920’s, so we can really get a look at how NOTHING SEEMS TO CHANGE in the world of witches and wizards.
Like, seriously…they use fucking candles and gas lamps to light everything, they have some strict aversion to any kind of technology and they have never thought to add nitrous oxide systems to their broomsticks. Actually, this should come as no surprise when none of the witches and wizards really go onto become something like engineers or scientists. Their career options are apparently limited to working at the Ministry, becoming a professor or running a shop in Diagon Alley. Or Quidditch, if they’re willing to die young.
J.K. Rowling has said that “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world,” which is fine by me. Seeing the Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Draco as adults who hadn’t finished puberty at the end of the series was enough hilarity for me.
Warner Bros approached the author with the idea and after deliberation, she decided she wanted to write the screenplay herself. And they let her, presumably because Warner Bros can smell money from her every orifice. Eww…I’m sorry guys and gals.
Expect tons of awesome CG magical beasts and an intriguing story that hopefully includes less camping in the woods.
Fargo: The TV Show
I don’t even know what to say. Why are so many fucking films being turned into TV shows? Like there isn’t enough shows on television, they have to go and put every decent film on the small screen. And Fargo is one of those films.
That being said, Fargo was given to us by the wonderful Coen brothers who also gave us such crazy characters as the Dude, Anton Chigurh, Barton Fink and John Goodman, in some truly great movies.
Fargo was released in 1996 and focused on the misadventures of some inept criminals who are being pursued by a pregnant police woman. While I watched the film at a young age, those ridiculous Scandinavian accents tend to stick in your head. It seems like it’s hard to sound depressed with that accent. All the “oh yah”, “dontcha know” and “you betchya” always sounded so damn jolly.
I also recall something about a woodchipper. Or am I thinking about a new lumberjack reality TV series?
Anyway, this show is being made into a TV series, dontcha know? It will be a 10 part series on FX and will feature the expertly-named, Billy Bob Thornton (who’s full name could well be William Robert Thornton), as a “rootless, manipulative man who meets a small town insurance salesman and sets him on a path of destruction”.
It has been made clear that the TV show will not crossover with the original, but will stay “remarkable true to the film”.
The Coen brothers will, regrettably, not be directing it, instead passing it off to the director of Bones. Which is…you know…good for him. Ethan and Joel Cohen will be the executive producers on the series, and no more.
I for one would like to see a TV series involving John Turturro as Jesus, as he works through the bowling regionals and nationals and sectionals and all the stuff from Glee, but with less singing and more balls.
Are there any particular films that you people think would translate well on TV? If so, let me know! Or keep the comments to yourself, which is what usually happens when I try to engage my readers. You guys are dicks. I try to involve you and I get diddly squat back. ABSO-DIDDLY SQUAT.
I will now proceed to go and cry into a pillow shaped like a dedicated bobloblawslawbomblowblowblog visitor.
SIDE NOTE: Remember that little “Lumberjack reality TV series” joke I made earlier in this post? Well…out of curiosity, I Googled to see if there actually was a show like this and, presented by the History channel’s confusion as to the definition of “history”, lo and behold Ax Men.
YouTube’s Greatest – Exploding Actresses
Someone had the idea of editing the heads of actresses, in famous movies, to explode at the perfect moment. You didn’t ever thinking of doing that because you’re not a creative genius.
This video is serious time-wasting material for you, but a time-saving post for me.
This guy has also exploded the head of Johnny Depp, many Disney princesses and he even had Zazu the baboon throw Simba to his death in The Lion King.
Plans for David Brent
At the end of 2003, we bid farewell to David Brent. A tragic, egotistical, pathetic man who helped changed TV comedy. And also caused a massive excess of mockumentary TV shows.
But as Arrested Development has proved, things we love will come back to us once more. Granted Firefly fans aren’t getting jack shit, but mentioning that wouldn’t allow me to prove anything.
Ricky Gervais’ character and counterpart David Brent first appeared outside of The Office UK in The Office US, because it’s his show and he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Luckily he did it before Steve Carell left and presumably distanced himself from the show as they jumped the shark.
After his two appearances in America, Brent then appeared on YouTube, with a few videos that tried to capture the magic of Brent outside the Office, sans Howard from Halifax. Instead he has Doc Brown, whose music Brent is producing and whose race Brent is trying to associate with. Leading to the awesome comic relief reggae rap music video, Equality Street, performed by Gervais and Doc Brown, with another video about to how this collaborating came about.
Turns out this video is damn prophetic when I saw a sad union of Robbie Williams and Dizzee Rascal, with the only difference being the song is not about equality.
The latest Brent has done are these weekly “Learn Guitar with David Brent” YouTube videos.
But now, Ricky Gervais has said that he wants to make a fucking David Brent movie.
A DAVID BRENT MOVIE.
Soak it in. Forget about Affleck as Batman and think about a full feature with David Brent, the man who brought us a fusion of flashdance and MC Hammer shit.
But that’s not all, Gervais has actually got a few other things lined up for Brent. Starting with a frickin’ record deal. You might be able to buy “Free Love Freeway”, or torrent it.
After this, Brent will appear in a few charity concerts. Woop.
Then the film will be made, probably focusing on Brent trying to make his dream of becoming a musician come true. Something Gervais accomplished early in his life.
Good news? Or do you not give a fuck? Or have I been confusing you with alternating use of Gervais and Brent to talk about the same person more or less? Let me know if you have a few seconds free.
Sequel to The Inbetweeners Movie
This is just a quick post to let people who don’t look at irrelevant news concerning TV and film know that The Inbetweeners Movie 2 is in production and is set for release in early August.
*cough*2014*cough.
I know what you’re thinking; If I was trying to be conspicuous, maybe I shouldn’t have put that on a separate line. Maybe you’re just wondering why I would try to hide that fact? Because I feel stupid writing about it over a year earlier than it’s release date.
Or were you just thinking that you should scroll down through the post to see how long it is and whether it’s worth your time? If it’s the latter, let me tell you now, it isn’t worth your time. Leave.
You’re not welcome in these parts.
Obviously each and every cringe-inducing character will be returning, Neil, the oblivious and overly lucky lamppost, Jay, the self-obsessed compulsive liar/masturbator, Simon, the human embodiment of awkward and Will, best described as the briefcase wanker.
There have been rumours that the film will have them backpacking around Australia and maybe, just maybe, something about a wedding for Neil but nothing has really been confirmed.
So everyone can look forward to another The Inbetweeners feature which is essentially an extended episode. Which is fine with me. The Inbetweeners is fucking hilarious.
