Jay Leno's final show

For 17 years one man has kept 'The Tonight Show' at the top of it's game. Mr. Jay Leno. This man has led the most successful late night talk show since most of us were children and it's said that no one works harder in Hollywood than Leno. On June 1st, the reigns will be passed down to Conan O'Brien. His sketches varied from 'Headlines' to 'JayWalking.' I personally think Conan will be the best host of all-time but let's give credit to the man that has owned late night for that past two decades. Although Jay Leno will now own the 10pm prime-time spot on NBC. Respectfully Jay Leno's final guest is Conan O'Brien. Even if you're not a fan please check out the great last episode.

THE GOODS (TRAILER)

Jeremy Piven finally gets the lead role in a funny movie! I know what you're thinking, "What about PCU?", my response "What about it?" This movie has a funny cast of supporting actors that should make this a movie that's fun to watch. The summer is only offering two good comedies with "The Hangover" and "Funny People." Maybe "The Goods" will be number 3 on that list. Enjoy the red band trailer.

Sherlock Holmes Trailer

I think casting Robert Downey Jr in anything is a great idea. "Iron Man" finally gave him the stardom he was destined for and now you can all appreciate him. The film takes place in London following the great investigator Sherlock Holmes. Guy (Lock Stock, Snatch) Ritchie directs a big budget film for the first time in his career. We still have 7 months before this comes out but I think it will be very good. Jude Law (Gattaca, Talented Mr. Ripley) has always been better in films where he can thrive in a supporting role. Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers, State of Play) can hold her own when it comes to working with strong leading men.
Enjoy the trailer and leave your comments below.

Guess "WHO'S" Cancelled and Who's Not!

May is always one of the hardest months to bare if you're a fan of scripted television. You're favorite shows are going on summer hiatus and the destiny of them lies in the hands of the networks execs. The recession has execs questioning every episode of the programs they put on the air. Just to get out of the way the list of great shows that will be coming back next fall.

30 Rock
The Office
How I Met Your Mother
Parks and Recreations
and
Lost

I would just like to thank the executives for not canceling the only reason to watch network television anymore. In case you were wondering reality shows are never cancelled they just go away and if you are one of the people that constantly watch them, don't worry something will take it's place.Programs on HBO and Showtime aren't decided on in May. Now moving on to shows that bit the bullet and were renewed.NBC's fan favorite "CHUCK" is picked up for 13 more episodes but will unfortunately suffer budget cuts. Scrubs is also renewed by ABC after being brought over from the peacock network.


Now moving on to shows that won't be with us next fall.
King of the Hill (will finally be gone)
Terminator: Sarah Conor Chronicles (much better in movie form)
Knight Rider (Thank goodness)
Prison Break (How many times can they break out... Once right)
Samantha Who? ( Never got around to watching it)


A few shows are still up in the air at this time.
One show I hope they save is "My Name is Earl." It's rumored to be picked up by FOX if and when NBC passes.

WARNING: AMC Theatres are running FAKE IMAX's and charging $5 extra for a slightly bigger screen. Boycott IMAX, AMC and Regal.

This is reposted from Aziz Ansari

I went with a friend of mine to see Star Trek: The IMAX Experience at the AMC Theatre in Burbank today. I drove out of my way to see the film on the large IMAX screen and paid an extra $5 for the ticket, which felt worth it at the time.

HOWEVER, we get in the theatre and its just a slightly bigger than normal screen and NOT the usual standard huge 72 ft IMAX screen. I was very upset and apparently this problem is happening all over at Regal and AMC theatres. Here’s a graphic representation of what’s happening at these “FAKE IMAX” screens:


you don’t want the whole long story, I did some research online and found this article that explains it. Basically IMAX is whoring out their brand name and trying to trick people. These new “IMAX” theatres are really just nice digital screens with good sound, but they ARE NOT IMAX, in that they don’t have the huge 72 ft gigantic screen which people would expect. However, they still charge $5 more for tickets as they would for the regular IMAX.

REGAL, AMC, AND IMAX - YOU ARE LIARS!

Boycott them. Fuck them for taking advantage of people and charging them $5 extra. If you’re in LA, go to the Arclight from now on, and fuck the IMAX screens (fake and real).

Some people at Regal and AMC both wanted to call these screens IMAX Digital so as to differentiate it somehow from the giant IMAX screens people are used to associating with the name IMAX. Apparently IMAX doesn’t see anything wrong with duping customers like this and insisted on simply keeping it as IMAX. Well, I have a better term how about - “BULLSHIT IMAX.” Cause that’s what it is.

According to this piece, IMAX CEO, Richard Gelfond said the company only puts IMAX digital systems into multiplex auditoriums that meet certain criteria. He jokingly said, “It’s a very scientific test. It’s called the ‘wow’ factor. So if you don’t go in and go ‘wow,’ we won’t do it.” HAHAHA! REALLY FUNNY RICHARD!!!! What happens if I go in the theatre and go “This isn’t a fucking IMAX screen, I just got ripped off for $5!!” Do I get my money back?

At the AMC theatre this was my experience at guest services:

Aziz: Yes, I’d like my $5 back. I paid $5 extra for an IMAX screen and that’s not nearly as big as what I have known IMAX to be.
Guest Services: I can’t sir. Its IMAX quality picture and sound.
Aziz: But the screen isn’t big, that’s the whole reason I pay $5 more for IMAX.
Guest Services: Well sir, you watched the whole movie, you could have come out and we could have given you tickets to a different one.
Aziz: Why would I do that? I’d leave Star Trek, the movie I wanted to see and you’d give me a ticket for Ghosts of Girlfriends Past? Oh yeah that’s fair! No, you need to give me the $5 back, its the principle of it. Can I see a manager?

Manager: Sir, we can’t refund the money, you saw the whole film.
Aziz: I don’t want $15, I just want $5 cause AMC lied about IMAX.
Manager: Sir, I can give you popcorn and a drink.
Aziz: I don’t want to go home and drink a nasty soda and eat nasty ass popcorn. I want my $5 back. Its not about the money, its the principle of the matter, ITS NOT IMAX.
Manager: Sorry, I can’t do anything.
Aziz: You know what Twitter is? I have 25,000 followers, I’m tell 25,000 people you run fake IMAX’s and that they should boycott AMC.
Manager: I don’t really care sir.
Aziz: Yeah, I wouldn’t care either if I worked here, but you know you are in the wrong! You should give me $5!!
Manager: SIR, I CAN GIVE YOU POPCORN AND A SODA.
Aziz: I DON’T LIKE POPCORN AND I DON’T LIKE SODA, I WANT MY $5!!!
Manager: Ok here’s two free passes.

UPDATE: In addition to this terrible tragedy, there are also terrible things going on in Darfur. Please Google around for more info on how to help there.

Box Office Analysis

Star Trek opened above expectations over the weekend. J.J. Abrams new take on the "old" classic proved to be a great move for himself and the studio. The film explored the origins on Capt. Kirk and Spock in the vein of "Batman Begins" and "Casino Royale."
Star Trek grossed $75.2 million dollars over the weekend on 3,800 screens. Although it didn't match "Wolverine's" $85 Million opening, it will surely surpass it in the long run. Star Trek earned a rotten tomatoes score of 95% fresh while Wolverine came in at 36 % rotten. Wolverine dropped off 69% in just it's second weekend for $26.4 million. Next week brings on the new Tom Hanks/Ron Howard collaboration "Angels and Demons." I believe Star Trek will remain on top of the charts because of the fantastic word-of-mouth that it's receiving. Here's the top 10 for May8-May10.

1. Star Trek $75.2 Million
2. Wolverine $26.4 Million
3. Ghost of Girlfriends Past $10.25Million
4. Obsessed $6.5 Million
5. 17 Again $4.23 Million
6. Next Day Air $4.1 Million
7. The Soloist $3.9 Million
8. Monsters vs Aliens $3.2 Million
9. Earth $2.66 Million
10. Hannah Montana Movie $2.19 Million
