If movie characters didn't make horrible decisions...
3pies4rolls favorite humor website (seriously, have your life changed with the M. Night Stabmyeyesout analysis?) Cracked.com provides its insight as to what movie plots would look like if they were a little more realistic. A couple of favorites are below, but check out the whole list here.
"Lacey was everything to Brian. When a car accident takes her life, he vows to bring her back, risking his life to discover a forbidden occult ritual that will bring her back from the dead. He is warned that tampering with the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead could bring great evil into the world, and that what comes back to him will no longer be his wife. When nothing actually happens, Brian is at a loss, until he remembers magic doesn't exist. Realizing he has let his grief make him stupid, he finally accepts Lacey's death, enabling him to get on with his life."
"When Sandra, a type A workaholic, is thrown together at work with Cal, a fun-loving slacker, the sparks fly as they take an instant dislike to each other. When 10 other co-workers get sick they are forced to go on a business trip to Las Vegas together, where a botched reservation lands them in the honeymoon suite. Being in such close quarters helps them realize they will never get along, and when they return to the office, they meet with HR and arrange to be assigned to different departments."

helloooo movie season!
It's that time of year when the big hitters (that we will start hearing more and more about as the early awards begin coming in) come out to play. AwardsCircuit.com (formerly OscarIgloo) has its predictions up (though they're a little behind, with the Toronto Film Festival having given us the first glimpse of how the awards show season could play out...)
And speaking of Toronto, the big winner there was The King's Speech, Colin Firth's follow-up to his unbelievable performance in last year's A Single Man (seriously, I love you, Jeff Bridges, but I'm still a little bitter about Firth losing all acting awards to you, because, frankly, he was better). Anyway, with a cast of people I love (Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce...), I REALLY can't wait for this movie:
And, okay, speaking of last year's Oscar winner (and long-time 3pies4rolls love) Jeff Bridges, he's got a little movie coming out himself, as the Dude reunites with the Coen brothers for a remake of True Grit:
you excited for movie season yet? okay, one more. Major best actor buzz going on for James Franco as well, as Danny Boyle follows up Slumdog with his film on the story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself after being trapped by a boulder for nearly five days:

Steve Wiebe is once again the King of Kong!!
For those long time readers, you know about a little documentary that stole our hearts a couple of years ago. It was an epic battle of good versus evil and an inspirational sports story all at the same time. And it was about, yes, Donkey Kong. For those of you who have seen the movie, I have some great news: Steve Wiebe just re-broke the world record!
if you haven't seen the movie, watch the trailer below and then explain to me why not, cause I don't get it.
Congratulations, Steve!
