THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD is a documentary film about product placement, marketing and advertising which was reportedly itself financed through product placement. The trailer is below. Sure to be another interesting film from Spurlock.

"The world premiere of the highly-anticipated 12-part comedy series Angry Boys, starts soon on ABC1. The chameleon of character invention, writer/performer Chris Lilley brings to life six vastly different characters, but they all have one thing in common - they will entertain and intrigue, as their private worlds are revealed.
Still living on the family farm in Dunt, identical twins Daniel and Nathan Sims, who appeared in We Can Be Heroes, are back. Joining the boys in the series are four new characters; former surfing world champion Blake Oakfield, a family man and founding member of a surfie gang - the Mucca Mad Boys; S.mouse a U.S. rapper famous for having produced the biggest selling hip-hop single of all time; Japanese mother Jen Okazaki, a shrewd businesswoman, she also manages her son’s skateboarding career; and Juvenile Justice Centre for Boys officer Ruth Sims, aka Gran. Gran takes pride in looking after the ‘worst boys in the state’ and can be as tough on the boys as she is kind to them."
It's Friday again and I thought I'd make a note of the song that fatcats from all around the world are dubbing the "Worst Song Ever". Rebecca Black's "Friday", has hit over 40 million + views on Youtube alone, also reportedly earning $1 million dollars from sales on the iTunes store.
Everyone is giving her shit yet she and the producers of this god awful track are laughing all the way to the bank. I don't blame her for it, she's the product, she's the face that producers sell to make their money, she's the puppet. They wrote the song, made the video, auto-tuned the fuck out of her voice, put some creepy old rapper in the vid, and now are cashing in on it.
I blame them, this sort of stuff reminds me of how much the music business is just cashing in on shit repetitive teeny/tweeny pop music, dance music, electropop music, yet real artists writing their own songs sit casually independently or unknown. They are other songs with young tween singers that the Ark Music Factory has released, personally I'd say they're all better than Friday, but not that hard to do so.
One good thing to come from this are the parody videos. They are plenty floating around the internet and I'm going to post a few up below. Enjoy.
Alex Williamson is an Aussie stand up comedian, who posts plenty of hilarious stuff on youtube. From sketches and segments involving safe sex, sexting, drugs, the continuing NRL & AFL sex scandals, and of course Ben Cousins. I'll post some of his videos below, certainly some funny segments. Here's a little more about Alex, courtesy of his official website:
"After watching Jurassic Park as a 5 year old, Alex Williamson knew exactly what he wanted to do in life – get involved in film…whether he was directing, writing, acting or just making coffee for Sam Neill between takes. He also wanted to start a Dinosaur amusement park, but luckily his father talked some sense into him with a length of hard bamboo.
Growing up in the small country town of Willunga in South Australia, Alex discovered there wasn’t much to do, which inspired him to get his first video camera at the age of 15. Alex then began to film various artistic pieces of cinema with his friends (throwing water-bombs at cars on the highway) and developed his technical skills through his high school media studies, and his social etiquette skills through 6 hour Seinfeld marathons.
Alex has been a stand up comedian in Adelaide for several years now, performing at venues such as The Rhino Room, Pj O’Brians, The Highway and the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds since he was 18. He was a state finalist in Triple J’s Raw Comedy in 2009, and also had the opportunity to participate in the the Sammy D Charity Gala in 2010, where he performed alongside Arj Barker, Tom Gleeson, Wil Anderson and Damian Callinan.
His involvement and obsession with sport, in particular Australian Rules Football, prompted him to utilize his media skills and acting ability to produce a short film about an obsessed AFL ‘Dream Team’ Coach (2009). The success of these videos resulted in Alex having a segment on Channel 7′s AFL Gameday (2009), which appeared on sunday mornings on television sets right around Australia.
Since then Alex has produced comedy videos alongside some of the AFL’s most talented players (Embley, Tippett, Motlop, Porplyzia). Along with his various online sketches, Alex has also been involved in two successful online web series, ‘Too Easy’ (Alex Williamson, David M. Green 2010) and ‘Lapse in Motivation’ (Alex Williamson, Jack Ellis 2010).
A move to Melbourne beckons, as Alex begins to understand there are limited opportunities in Adelaide (none)."
THE SMURFS is an upcoming CGI live-action family film, inspired by the characters and plots of the original TV show which I grew up watching.

"Set in the Middle Ages, the evil wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria) and his cat, Azrael, discover the Smurfs' village and chase them into some woods. The Smurfs get scattered and Clumsy Smurf (voiced by Anton Yelchin) wanders into a "forbidden" grotto and some of the other Smurfs follow. But Papa Smurf just warns about the grotto, where all Smurfs should never go into this little cave. Since it's also a blue moon, a magical portal within the grotto transports them into present-day Central Park in New York, by the magic ring where Gargamel wearing it's powers.[3] They take shelter with a married couple (Neil Patrick Harris and Jayma Mays) and try to find a way back to their village before Gargamel finds them."

Matthew Perry became world known as the lovable Chandler on the hit sitcom Friends. Since its finish in 2004, he hasn't done much TV until now. Perry's new sitcom is called MR SUNSHINE, and premiered on ABC on February 9th. Check out the promo clip for it below and scope it out on the interwebs. The plot of the show is as follows:

ARTHUR is an upcoming rom-com due out April 8th. It stars Russell Brand, Helen Mirren & Jennifer Garner. It is a remake of the 1981 original film which starred Dudley Moore. Check out the trailer below.
Just saw a trailer for this upcoming comedy called "Cedar Rapids". The comedy stars ED HELMS (The Hangover), JOHN C. REILLY (Step Brothers), ANNE HECHE (Spread) and SIGNOURNEY WEAVER (ALIEN). Check out the synopsis and trailer below.
"To call insurance agent Tim Lippe (Ed Helms) "naive" is a gross understatement. He's never left his small Wisconsin hometown. He's never stayed at a hotel. And he's never experienced anything like Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sent to the "major metropolis" to represent his company at the annual insurance convention, Tim is soon distracted by three convention veterans (John C. Reilly, Anne Heche and Isiah Whitlock Jr.) who will show him the ropes and push his boundaries. For a guy who plays everything by the book, this convention will be anything but conventional."
Found this gem last night scoping the tube. This is a parody of Waka Flocka Flame's song "HARD IN DA PAINT". Not going to post that cause its a piece of shit, although this parody is hilarious. BARACKA FLOCKA FLAME. HEAD OF THE MOTHERFUCKING STATE NIGGER.
