Go Ahead. Pre-Oder the ‘Fast 6′ Blu-Ray Before You Even See the Film. You Know You Want To.

Look man, the critics love Fast & Furious 6 and Vin Diesel loves Fast & Furious 6. Do you honestly think there is any chance in hell that you, too, will not also love Fast & Furious 6?

Right. There is no chance. You are going to love it. So what the hell are you waiting for? Just go ahead and pre-order the Fast & Furious 6 Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack right now. It's only $20.99 over at Amazon. What are you, some kind of communist who doesn't buy things?

Okay, I'm totally kidding. There's no rush. Go ahead and see the Fast & Furious 6 at your local cineplex tonight. Then go to Amazon and pre-order the blu-ray. After all, Universal is counting on you.

You see, after Oblivion, Star Trek, and Iron Man 3 had such strong opening weekend Blu-ray/DVD pre-order sales, Universal has decided to do the same thing with Fast & Furious 6 to capitalize on all that enthusiasm you're going to have after you watch that epic tank chase scene.

Smart move, don't you think?

Wait, no, don't think. Just buy.

Lego Made a Life-Sized X-Wing Fighter With 5.3 Million Pieces (VIDEO)

What a wonderful waste of time and money.

This might be the biggest waste of time and money I've ever seen. And I'm in love with it.

The fine folks at Lego created a life-sized replica of an X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars, complete with a R2 Unit. The ship weighs 46,000 pounds, and contains 5.3 million Lego bricks. It took 32 people a combined total of 17,000 hours to put this together, because using that time and energy to fight poverty would have been boring.

This monument to Geekdom is now sitting in Times Square where it's being used to promote Cartoon Network's new series The Yoda Chronicles, which premieres next Wednesday. Next week, it will be packed up and shipped to LEGOLAND near San Diego, where it will be on display for the next year. Personally, I'll hold out on visiting LEGOLAND until they build a life-sized Star Destroyer. (Source)

Why ‘Fast and Furious 6′? A Freaking Tank Chase

Fast and Furious 6 opens today and it has all the makings of the perfect summer blockbuster. It has a chick fight, it has cars exploding through stuff, and -- perhaps most importantly -- it has a goddamn tank chase.

If you had any misgivings about seeing what might be a somewhat by-the-numbers action-heist-thriller movie thing, remember: there have only been two other  tank chases in movie history.  The first one involved Indiana Jones and Nazis. Remember that one? From Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? There were horses involved and Sean Connery was there? Yeah. Killer time.

The second one, Jame Bond's GoldenEye, had 007 driving a Russian tank through St. Petersburg and trashing all sorts of shit in the process. Best part was, with N64's wonderfully time sucking video game version, you could relive this scene over and over again.

Let's put it another way for all you number geeks: this weekend's movie slate will account for 33% of all cinematic tank chases ever. Pretty impressive.

Michelle Rodriguez Wouldn’t Change a Thing About Her Role in the First Fast & Furious (VIDEO)

Can I Knock This Guy Out Right Here?

It's opening day for Fast & Furious 6 and all signs point to box office gold. And according to early reviews, worthy gold as the film delivers exactly what is promises - fast cars, hot girls, and lots of stunts involving the two. It's not aiming too high, but, hey, we're not such high minded people here. Crash, boom, boobs. I'll take that.

We had a chance to send one of our intrepid reporters off to London to interview Michelle Rodriguez before the Britty premiere of the film and asked her a bunch of random stuff, but our favorite response came from the answer to what Michelle might tell Michelle of the very first Fast & Furious if she could go back in time. Kind of cool. And very very Michelle Rodriguez. Enjoy.

Amanda Seyfried’s Boobs Are Shrinking?

This week in Highly Dubious News, apparently being all famous and stuff makes your boobs shrink. According to Amanda Seyfried, being in the spotlight has ruined her once voluptuous figure. She told Ellen Degeneres this week:

 I had beautiful huge breasts and then I came to Hollywood and I was like, 'I got to lose weight. I got to look thin and fit.' And I lost them a little bit.

So, if we follow Seyfried's logic, having to give in to the pressure of looking great makes you look less great? We're not buying it. At all. Even worse, she had this to say:

I don't miss them because they were quite uncomfortable but they looked beautiful. I was feminine. I had some nice curves and I think that we should really appreciate that as opposed to trying to get rid of everything.

At least we can all agree on one of those things, if they're going to shrink, we'll definitely miss them.

 

 

Satan Makes A Cameo in the Latest ‘This is the End’ Red Band TV Trailer (VIDEO)

"James Franco didn't suck any dick last night?"
Daaaamn!

It makes sense that the largest Hollywood vanity project in recent memory would have a cameo by the guy who pulls all the strings in this town: Satan.

Now, when I say 'Satan,' I'm not referring to Michael Cera. I'm talking about the actual Prince of Darkness himself, a.k.a. Lucifer.

In the latest spot for This is the End, the good ol' Beelzebub flies in to attack Seth Rogen, James Franco, and the rest of the gang. If that's not funny enough for you, the trailer also features Danny McBride making a James Franco dick-sucking joke. Yeah, we've seen it before, but it never gets old. To be clear, I'm not being sarcastic. It really never gets old.

This is the End opens June 12th.

The Ten Worst Hangovers in Movie History

The Hangover Part III opens tonight and in this final chapter, the Wolfpack will officially rank among the greatest drunkards in cinema history. But where do they stand in that crowded field? Who else is in that field? Why are they all in a field and not in a bar? Important questions indeed.

With all that on-screen boozing, there's bound to be some awful hangovers. Let's take a look at what we'd imagine are the ten worst in movie history.
