Ugh, One Oscar Nomination And Now Jonah Hill Is All ‘Stop Asking Me Dumb Questions About Farts’

Ugh, One Oscar Nomination And Now Jonah Hill Is All 'Stop Asking Me Dumb Questions About Farts'

Did I miss something?  Is it International Be A Dick To Reporters Week? First Jesse Eisenberg, now Jonah Hill.  Jeez!  Look, celebrities, I get it.  Being on a press tour and being asked the same asinine questions that make you feel like a trained circus monkey must be annoying. No one is saying it isn’t.  But you get paid MILLIONS OF DOLLARS to do what most of us would give up a body part to be able to do for a living. More »

Jesse Eisenberg’s Reaction To Getting Flashed Would Make Moms Everywhere Proud

Jesse Eisenberg's Reaction To Getting Flashed Would Make Moms Everywhere Proud

Jesse Eisenberg, also known as The World’s Most Awkward Movie Star, went on CONAN to promote his new film Now You See Me, which is about 3 magicians who moonlight as bank robbers (or maybe the other way around). One of the stories that he tells Conan probably made his mother well up with tears full of pride and whatever else tears are made of when she heard it. More »

Video Gallery: The Funniest Celebrity ‘Don’t Talk’ PSAs from the Alamo Drafthouse Theater

Video Gallery: The Funniest Celebrity 'Don't Talk' PSAs from the Alamo Drafthouse Theater

Now we get why Alamo Drafthouse is consistently voted the beast theater in the country. They’re the ones behind the viral video of an angry customer’s bleep-filled voicemail, which they used in their famous “Don’t Talk” campaign of PSAs that run before new movies. Today we stumbled upon their official YouTube channel, which collects all of their “Don’t Talk” PSAs — including the hilarious ones with celebrities like Jason Momoa and Dave Franco. Not all of them succeed — therein lies the fun — but you have to hand it to the theater and the stars for turning out such wacky videos. More »

Crushable Guessing Game: ’30 Minutes or Less’ or Another Outlandish Comedy?

Crushable Guessing Game: '30 Minutes or Less' or Another Outlandish Comedy?
Glitz and Glamor
Haters Gonna Hate
Car Chase
Get Low
Strong Female Love Interest

In 30 Minutes or Less, criminal Danny McBride orders a pizza, straps a bomb on the delivery guy (Jesse Eisenberg) instead, and informs him he has mere hours to rob a bank before he goes kablooey. An unbelievable comedy with dysfunctional characters and an awkward hero? We’ve seen this so many times before before, often with the same actors (30 Min has another criminal in Nick Swarsdon, and Aziz Ansari as the friend Jesse ropes into this fool’s errand.) Honestly, every other over-the-top comedy is starting to blur together. We’ve picked out a bunch of stills and mapped out the tropes that you’d see in more than one; it’s your job to figure out which movie is which, before the ticking bomb under your shirt counts reaches zero. (See what we did there?) More »

Jesse Eisenberg, Tina Fey, and Sarah Drew All Place in the Awkward Olympics

Jesse Eisenberg, Tina Fey, and Sarah Drew All Place in the Awkward Olympics
Michael Cera - Most Prolific Awardness
Sarah Drew - Most Sexually Awkward
Anthony Michael Hall - The Godfather of Awkward
Kristen Wiig - Queen of Quietly Awkward
Jason Segel - King of Awkward Situations

Ashley Rickards, who plays Jenna on MTV’s new show Awkward, does a pretty good job of portraying an awkward teen, what with her neck brace, playhouse sex, and to her “empowering” flashing. Still, if awkwardness ever held its own Olympics games, she wouldn’t even get the bronze. Their are so many more socially inept characters that have come before her: Wallace from Weird Science, Cameron from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Kirk from The Gilmore Girls… With those predecessors in mind, here are the modern kings and queens of Hollywood’s ungraceful.
