Superbad has made quite a splash at the box office this summer, grossing over $68.6M domestically since it’s release just over a week ago. Thankfully, this is one film that truly lives up to all the hype.

The worst director of all time is at it again!
Tommy Wiseau, the “genius” behind The Room, is back with another project.
This time, he stars as Charlie in The Neighbors, a sitcom which is described on the official website as, “a sitcom consisting of relationship between a group of neighbors who live in an apartment building.”
The plot synopsis goes on to say this:
The lead character is Charlie, the manager of the building. The tenants are a diverse group of presonality of different ages and backgrounds constantly bringing their problems to Charlie and his secretary girlfiend Bebe. The character of Princess Penelope create commotion by seeing the ghost of her uncle Prince Charles. It is a fresh humorous look at human behavioe with different view points including plenty of surprises. The demographic is all inclusive.
Trashwire readers might remember Wiseau from his previous film, The Room, which we declared the Best of the Worst a few years ago.
This new project looks to be even worse! Check out the trailer online here: http://theneighborssitcom.com/neighborsone.mov.
Flight of the Conchords season 2!
I found this recently on WhatTheFolk.net:
The Flight of the Conchords and HBO have agreed to a second season of their Sunday night comedy television show, starring New Zealand folk duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. The current season has three episodes left, and looks set to have special guest appearances by Todd Barry and Demetri Martin!
Awesome! I LOVE this show and I’m so psyched that there will be a second season. Last night, I saw that there were only two episodes left of season one and I was really hoping they would do a second season. Now this news makes me super happy.
Alcohol + bears = bad idea
From CNN:
BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) — A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.
“There’s a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage,” zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.
Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.
See kids, this is what happens when you get really drunk and think it might be fun to jump into a bear cage. I like that they actually included the quote from the zoo keeper saying that only an idiot would do that.
That’s what I’ve been saying!
I was flipping through Entertainment Weekly today and I saw a review for the Projekt Revolution tour (with My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Linkin Park and a whole bunch of other bands). The review basically says that My Chemical Romance totally stole the show from headliners Linkin Park.
There was one quote that really caught my eye. Shirley Halperin, the reviewer wrote:
“But, there’s something almost religious in witnessing the Church of Gerard Way taking it to 11 when, like Linkin, the band could have easily coasted at 7.5 or so.”
I totally agree. After witnessing MCR in Denver during the Black Parade tour, I found myself thinking the same thing. There is something religious about seeing all these kids totally moved by this band and hanging on every word Gerard says. It’s very cultish, but in a good way… if that makes any sense.
Anyway, I love this band and I think they’re amazing live, so when I saw someone else who thinks so too, I had to post it.
