Prick Of The Month: 12/01/08 edish

Let’s face it….farts, cutting the cheese, passing gas, breaking wind, and flatulence will never be not funny. There is one man who has mastered the art of the fart, but not the kind that rips through your Levi’s. His name is Gerry (Jerry) Phillips, he is a manualist (meaning he makes fart noises with his hands), and is December’s prick of the month.

Follow the jump to see this masterful manual maniac in action.

Milk Breaks a Record, Cool

Gus Van Sant’s Milk took in $1.4 million this weekend which isn’t much for an opening weekend, but it did it on only 36 screens. Let me see here…that equals $38,375 per location. I didn’t do that in my head, I got the lowdown from THR:

The “Milk” debut represented the best per-venue average of any film opened with 30-40 engagements, Foley said. Its bow outpaced the December 2007 opening for “Atonement,” which Focus unspooled with $784,145 from 32 playdates or a then-record $24,505 per engagement.

“Milk” pours into 60 theaters in 32 markets on Friday. Foley said he believes Focus’ marketing campaign has dovetailed well with nationwide publicity over California’s Proposition 8, the recently passed anti-gay marriage ballot initiative.

“Milk” will likely remain one of the awards season’s most closely watched releases, with Sean Penn’s performance in the title role generating early plaudits. James Franco, Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch and Diego Luna are also featured in supporting roles.

I have no idea what “early plaudits” means.

RBM, Your Blog…Woof!

Gambit Looks Delicious in Satin

Empire Online has posted the first picture of Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) as Gambit the ragin’ Cajun in the upcoming Wolverine biopic. Looks pretty good to me and I’m glad they didn’t give him Gambit’s cornball haircut. Gambit can make anything explode and uses playing cards as his weapon of choice. That’s pretty cool but it would be better if he carried around a bag of baby pictures to throw at people.

Crazy Crap: Skeletor Jameson

Something tells me that Jenna Jameson needs to find a new crowd to hang with.  It looks like Paris Hilton is starting to rub off on the queen of adult movies, and not in the “that would be sweet” way.  So sad.  She looks like a damn skeleton with a killer rack.  Gross.

Evisceration Plague: New Cannibal Corpse Album!

As if a free ass Dr Pepper wasn’t killer enough, legendary death metal band Cannibal Corpse will be releasing a brand f’n new album next year!  Hit the jump to get the skinny. 

Free Dr. Pepper’s!!!!

With the release of Chinese Democracy (the long awaited new GNR album) last month, those who were smart should’ve gone to Dr Pepper.com. If you are one of those many who actually used their brains, a coupon for one free Dr Pepper is on it’s way to your home.

As much as I loathe Axl Rose, I have to admit he deserves a big thanks. But he ain’t getting one!

Straw Men Set for the Screen

Awww yeah. I read this top-notch crime thriller when it was released in ’02 and have been waiting patiently for news of an adaptation. My dream came true this morning when I read on /Film that:

Benderspink has acquired the rights to develop a big screen film based on British author Michael Marshall Smith’s crime thriller The Straw Men. The book is a first in a trilogy about a an ex-homicide detective who is persuaded to come out of early retirement to solve a series of strange murders which are connected to the abduction of his daughter.

The second book in the series, The Upright Man, I thought was inferior to The Straw Men; not as gripping or suspenseful. (God, I make a shitty lit. critic). But I can’t recommend Straw Men enough. There’s a part near the end that scared the shit out of me. I tried drawing a picture of my fear, like child psychologists suggest, but it didn’t work out so hot…

Wolverine Trailer News

Besides being drowned in the raging ocean, the news I have for next year’s Wolverine film is my worst fear.

From Comingsoon.net:

“We have officially confirmed with 20th Century Fox that the first trailer for Wolverine will hit theaters with the studio’s The Day the Earth Stood Still on December 12. The trailer will be exclusively available in theaters and will not debut online or on TV until some time later.”

This makes me want to take a dump right in the mouths of all responsible.  There is no way in Hell that this guy will be setting foot in The Day the Earth Stood Still theater.  I am a very patient man, and can hold out for any other way to see that trailer.  Wolverine will slay the new Gort’s lanky ass.

Jonas Brothers to Star in Remake of The Last Waltz

Variety reports that tween sensations The Jonas Brothers will be starring in a remake of the 1978 concert film The Last Waltz. The original film documented the final concert of The Band and is said by many to be the “greatest concert of all time.” It featured special guests such as Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Eric Clapton, and Van Morrison. The Jonas Brothers remake will feature Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Drake, Josh, Nick Carter, and Van Morrison.

Plaxico Burress: American Badass

Tell Kid Rock to step aside...

New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is facing a felony weapons charge as the result of possessing an unlicensed, concealed (and loaded) firearm in a Manhattan nightclub. Keepin’ it gangsta. Oh yeah, he’s being charged because said firearm discharged, while Burress was in da club, into his own thigh on the evening of Friday, November 28^th. Gangsta fail. Now, a lot of people are going to speak poorly of Mr. Burress for his judgment (or lack there of) in this incident, but I for one, will not. I have never been one to insult individuals who: 1) are known to carry concealed weapons and 2) handle them with the tact of Cheddar Bob.

Steady... steady...

I would like to ask Mr. Burress a few questions though.
