The Dark Knight Rises: Gentlemen, Start Your Engines

http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24946/ Look, I'm not saying that the above juxtaposition indicates that Bane and Batman are going to engage in a car-surfing competition for the key to Gotham City in the single greatest homage to the ...

When Leo Punk'd Zac

Cold-blooded. But really, Zac should've known better than to come sniffing around Leo's turf... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24934/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24936/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24937/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24939/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24940/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24942/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24943/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/24/24944/

Kevin Smith Is an Evil Wizard

Your first hint is that his hockey jersey looks much more like a wizard's robe than an actual hockey jersey. Your second hint is body language. Sure, it sounds like he's talking about his upcoming ...

Your Mother Was Right...

...when she told you, "Handsome is as handsome does." Seriously, it does not pay to be blandly handsome, even in a chiseled sort of amazing way. Just ask Garrett Hedlund and Taylor Kitsch... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/21/24718/ http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/21/24719/ ...

A Blade Runner Sequel?

Harrison Ford is what, 85 now? Cue the obvious joke... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/18/24637/ p.s. Yes, I do think I should get extra gag points for using crazy-Catwoman Sean Young...

Piling On

Well, when Scott Marks takes time to sling some arrows at Katy Perry, it's hard not to get in on the outrageous fortune. Especially when she makes it so easy... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/18/24623/ from "Piercing" by Katy ...

Is Battleship A Massive Meditation on Military Gay Marriage?

At first glance, I would have to say no. But then I saw this picture over at MovieFanatic.com, and read the caption... http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/17/24579/ "Taylor Kitsch stars in Battleship. The actor is featured as a Navy ...

Four!

AC/DC!

Hey, remember how Tony Stark thinks AC/DC is really badass music that demonstrates his technological kickassery and bad-boy rootin'-tootin' fighting-guy excellence? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1wind1iUc&feature=relmfu In other, totally unrelated news, Battleship opens Friday! Okay, I'll stop now.
