As reported by Merrick over on AICN, the video posted below is either "a case of mad genius, of someone with too much time on their hands, or both."  I'm going with "both."  Either way, this is a very clever, and quite entertaining re-edit of Lionel Richie's 1984 super ballad Hello, as "sung" by movie stars in a bunch of different films.  This was put together by someone named Matthijs Vlot (cool name), and made me smile before I was two sips into my morning cup of iced coffee. &n...

Frequent visitors to TheWordslinger know of my love for obsession with the films of Alfred Hitchcock – especially his 1960 classic PSYCHO.  (See my article PSYCHO BABBLE – The Legacy of Norman Bates for more on that movie, its three sequels, and how a charming young man with Oedipal issues, taxidermal tendencies, and a love of cuuuuuutlery changed Hollywood forever.) In March of 1976, seven years before he returned to play Norman Bates in 1983's PSYCHO II (one of the best horro...

Well, the 2011 Oscars are over and I must say the most enjoyable part of the evening took place AFTER the show was over.  It was on Jimmy Kimmel’s sixth annual after-Oscar show and his featured guest was Tom Hanks. After sharing a clip from his new movie Larry Crowne (directed by Tom himself, and starring Tom and Julia Roberts – it looks good), Tom went on to talk about his daughter Sophie and their passion for … pageantry.  (I assume this is fictional as Tom and wi...

I am a huge fan of Brad Bird.  The director of such animated classics as The Incredibles and Ratatouille (not to mention a classic Amazing Stories episode called Family Dog – shown HERE on TheWordslinger in its entirety) is arguably one of the most creative filmmakers working today.  Those two aforementioned Pixar films could be textbook examples of how to inject movies with knee-slapping humor, genuine pathos, jaw-dropping visuals, and a kinetic pace. Brad Bird is now in the ...

No deep or meaningful commentary here, folks – just one of the funniest television commercials of 2010.  In an ad spot for the Logitech Revue Google TV unit, Kevin Bacon’s biggest fan, Ivan Cobenk (only the anagram-challenged should have a problem figuring that one out), waxes sentimental on his favorite movie star. Nuff said – check it out. ...

The title of this video pretty much says it all – it's four minutes of Nicolas Cage film clips, wherein the erstwhile Coppola is as over the top as you want him to be … and then some. This was edited by Pajiba.com's Harry Hanrahan, whose other videos include The 100 Greatest Movie Insults of All Time, The 160 Greatest Arnold Swarzenegger Quotes, and others, all of which can be found here. Most of the language of this is NSFW (like I care, I'm a writer, I work at home), but is pr...

Tina Fey made her second appearance as host of Saturday Night Live this past weekend (April 2010), and once again proved why the show hasn't been nearly as funny since she left. She did whip out another hilarious sketch as Sarah Palin introducing The Sarah Palin Network, as well as one of the funniest mock commercials the show has seen in awhile. Check 'em out. ...

It's November '09, which means the holidays are nearly upon us, radio stations are beginning to play Christmas music, and that shrill screaming noise you hear is the sound of millions of Twilight fans pledging their undead undying devotion to their favorite vampire or werewolf. This series is nothing if not divisive and, while I do not count myself among the die hard Twi-hards, neither am I one of those who abhor it. Standing firmly (alone) in the middle ground, I gave The Twilight Saga: New M...

Those looking for any deep or meaningful commentary in this article should try elsewhere -- I was simply in the mood for something silly this morning, and for some reason found myself thinking of Jerry Lewis' old typewriter routine. Which, in turn, led me to a number of old videos featuring Jerry doing what he does best ... only without words. Whether or not this justifies its own article, I don't know. All I do know is, I was feeling a bit down, and these put a grin on my face. Maybe they...

You know those web videos you stumble upon every now that are so funny and bloody random they feel like a digital hallucinogen? Well, I got one here that is funny and bloody AND random. It's from a BBC3 sketch show called The Wrong Door, and regards a young couple whose relationship is on the rocks. Melanie is lovely and sweet, but is worried that her relationship with Philip is going nowhere. Philip is a dinosaur.Prepare for a jaw-dropping good laugh. Oh, if you're wondering how ...

Yes, I grew up in the 70's. Yes, I was fond of the old school comedy found on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show and Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts. And yes, there was one performer in particular that was guaranteed to not only leave all in laughter, but with their jaws on the floor from his utter audacity ... "Did he really just say what I think he just said?"I believe I speak for all of us when I say, "Holy shit, Don Rickles is still alive!?"After watching 2007's Emmy Award-winning documentary Mr. ...

One of the most charming and funny videos I've seen in awhile is making its viral ways around the internet (... that just doesn't sound right, does it?). It's called Merry Christmas from Bailey the Unknown Reindeer, it has its own You Tube Channel, was posted exactly one year ago today, and has been viewed (so far) 4.25 million times. It takes place in Ward, Colorado (maybe an hour drive from me), was shot in the late 1990s during a record-breaking snowfall and involves a Dalmatian leaping rei...

Here is a video from Funny Or Die, featuring a dog guarding its bone from its own leg. This dog is either very dumb or has the acting chops of young Brando. The kids seem to dig it. You will too.DOG GUARDS BONE FROM OWN LEG -- HILARITY ENSUES See more funny videos at Funny or Die...

While trolling around my favorites sites, I found something on Geekologie that was so damn funny, I just had to post it over here.The video posted below is by a young Brit named Stuart Crouts. On a musical instrument he invented, the Kazookeylele (part kazoo, part piano, part ukulele), Stuart performs the 1986 Europe hit, The Final Countdown.Either Stuart is very talented or it doesn't take much to impress me ... or at least get me to laugh. This did both.Have at it.THE FINAL COUNTDOWN ON KAZO...

If you didn't catch last night's 33rd season premiere of Saturday Night Live, fear not ... I've got it for you right here. At least the opening bit where (you knew it was coming) Tina Fey returned to the show she left two years ago, to play VP candidate Sarah Palin. I never noticed the resemblance before, but after watching this skit ... holy shit! She's a dead ringer! Got the accent down, too.Check it out. Very funny.TINA FEY AND AMY POHLER AS PALIN AND CLINTONSaturday Night Live - Season ...

Saturday Night Live has given us some of the biggest comedic movie stars of the last three decades. While the quality of their films are varied, their place in pop culture history is secure. Chase, Ackroyd, Belushi (still miss you, John), Murray, Murphy, Crystal, Ferrell, Myers, etc ...From Shrek box office dollars alone, Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers never have to work again. Eddie Murphy has recently announced that he is going to semi-retire from films, and go back to doing stand-up. To this...

Christopher Walken is many things to many people: a diverse character actor, a creepy film villain, a semi-closeted song-and-dance man, Johnny Smith from The Dead Zone, Captain Koons from Pulp Fiction, someone whose strangely cadenced speech makes William Shatner's staccato delivery seem normal, a favorite impression of many comedians (Kevin Spacey and Kevin Pollack used to corner the market on that one), and - most surprisingly - a very funny fellow.To date, Walken has hosted Saturday Night Liv...

One of my earliest childhood memories (and there aren't many) was of listening to my parents' LP of The Best of Bill Cosby. I couldn't have been more than 5-years-old, but I played it so many times, I wore new grooves in that record. Then, doing these memorized Cosby routines for family and friends, I quickly discovered the joys of being the center of attention and making others laugh.BILL COSBY (like you didn't know)I'm sure I'm not the only one who can make this claim, but to those old enough...

After receiving some interesting comments about an earlier post entitled, George Carlin - Religion is Bullshit, I decided to put up some of the guy's early HBO specials. For those of you keeping score, George is up to 14 specials, between 1977 and 2008, the latest of which, It's Bad For Ya, is just as bitingly funny and stingingly honest as anything he's ever done. Also, a 14-disc box set, George Carlin: All My Stuff, came out last year, and includes all of George's HBO specials (see link belo...

The Incredibles – not only one of the best damn animated movies ever made, I'd dare say it's one of the most well-crafted, energetic, fun and funny movies of any genre, period. One that gets even better with repeat viewings. Writer/director Brad Bird was invited into the Pixar fold by his old CalArts buddy (and Pixar CEO) John Lasseter. He would go on, of course, to make the equally good Ratatouille.Prior to joining Pixar, Brad Bird wrote and directed The Iron Giant for Warner Bros...
