Eat More Brontosaurus!

February 23rd, 2010

I’m sure everyone in Canada has seen the Doritos Viralocity TV ads.  The idea of the contest is that you make a video and name a new Doritos flavour, and whoever’s video gets the most hits also get to name the new chip, as well as make $250,000.  That’s a lot of cash, so it got me thinking about the perfect name for a potato chip.  It also got me thinking about dinosaurs, which happens with me a lot because dinosaurs are fucking awesome!

Anyway, I settled on the name Spicy Brontosaurus.  Here’s my ad:

If you would like to see bags of Brontosaurus-flavoured potato chips on every store shelf in the country, then please click here to go to my video’s page.  There you’ll find buttons to post it to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Digg, and all the other media-sharing sites.  I get bonus points every time you do.  Tell the world that you demand Brontosaurus!

The Bad Movie Early Warning System – They’re baaaaaaack!

February 17th, 2010

This is an INFRARED ALERT!  That’s over twice as bad as a regular red alert!  Do not, under any circumstances, read the following post.  Instead, turn off your computer, go to your nearest place of worship, and pray to you deity of choice that the following breaking news is wrong.  May God have mercy on our souls.

I’m really, really sorry, but I have some terrible news – Jason Friedberg and Aron Seltzer are back.

Their new movie is tentatively titles LA Art Movie, although considering almost every single one of their movies have changed titles during production, it’ll probably be called Vampire Movie by the time you read this.  Anyway, Slashfilm has recovered this Craigslist casting post: 

I’ll have more information on this as soon as I can get it, unless I decide to commit suicide instead.  It’s about 50/50 on those two choices right now.

Bad Movie Early Warning System – The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It

November 18th, 2009

RED ALERT!

This is the Bad Movie Early Warning System.  This is not a drill.  People with high blood pressure are not encouraged to continue reading this post.  Please evacuate all small children and senior citizens from the room before scrolling down.  I repeat, this is not a drill.

RED ALERT!

IMDB.com reports that a parody movie titled The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It is coming sometime next year.

Yes, that is the real title.  The movie appears to be a parody of Judd Apatow’s film, for reasons I cannot even begin to comprehend.  Apparently Hollywood hasn’t got the memo that you can’t satirize something that was already funny to begin with.  Even stranger, the guy who played McLover in Disaster Movie will apear in this one playing McAnalovin.  It’s already been filmed, so at this point all we can do is hold tight and brace for impact.

Whether this is a movie that will require another contest is yet to be seen.  One actor’s Facebook wall says that the original title was Slumdog Virgin, So this is definitely looking like it’s in the Friedberg/Seltzer mould.  I’ll be reporting on any new information as it develops.  No need to hide in your bomb shelters just yet, but you should probably start stocking them just to be safe.

 

Anyone with any information at all on this should send me an email at bulletriddled@badnewscentral.com.

The Bad News Early Warning System will remain on RED ALERT until the threat has passed.  Please do not panic.  Thank you for your cooperation.
