What wicked powers are held in the hands of a beautiful smart woman?

For one, she has the ability to make a young man question all that he is and all he wants to be.

Trivial stuff? Hardly. It’s the premise behind the coming-of-age love story “Youth in Revolt “. Michael Cera stars as Nick Twisp, a virgin who would rather not be, and Portia Doubleday stars as Sheeni, his ideal girl, his muse, his object of desire who owns him completely. Only one small problem – Sheeni “doesn’t like him in that way.”

In the quest to make Sheeni “like him in that way”, Nick concocts a plan, errr, an alter ego, to win over the heart, mind, and body of Sheeni. This alter ego, Francois, is suave. This alter ego is smooth. This alter ego has a mustache.

With the cool and casual Francois in control, all should end well, right?  Not exactly. In the quest to conquer Sheeni, Nick happens to burn down most of Berkeley, CA., run away to India, and shoot her dad. Not cool. Really,  those these are just footnotes in the story of love. What matters is, of course, the success of Nick and Francois in changing their sexual status?

Let’s hope so!

Of course, we’re not cruel enough to give away the story line. Find out yourself — cause it’s worth it — when the movie is released on January 8, 2010.

Fists in the air — it’s time for MetalliKittens!

Yeah that’s right, heavy metal about cats. Cute, cuddly, purring little pussies. In actuality this metal madness is really touching on addiction. Addiction of an unlikely sort that all began like most dependencies, born in good fun that spiraled out of control.

It all started with that first search of “kitten videos” on YouTube. A harmless hunt for a few minutes of entertainment. But then it seemed a little wasn’t enough. It needed to be cuter. It needed to be funnier. Pretty soon nothing could ever satisfy the desire to get that original pleasure.

Kittens riding vacuums, kittens hanging out with pigs, kittens hanging out with monkeys, kittens on treadmills, kittens staring into the mirror, kittens – everywhere.

The cats became life. The subject all thoughts revolved around. Every conversation, every email, every IM – all about the cats. All you want to do.

Now if this scenario isn’t hard enough for for a heavy metal song — I don’t know what is. Yeah, it’s a pretty wussy addiction. One that I wouldn’t tell your friends about, but nonetheless it can drive you into the darkest corners of life. Here, proof is in the pudding:

All right everybody out on the dance floor! No exceptions! Come on happy couples! It’s wedding time!

Weddings are all about love, family, romance, friends, and commitment. Who knows how bad suits, drunken speeches and music made in the ’60s have become completely synonymous with the celebration. In this episode of Hello Dumb Dumb, we pay tribute to all the ridiculousness that can happen at the event -including brides falling into pools, brides catching on fire, brides getting stripped of articles of clothing, and brides just being brides.

Of course we don’t end it with brides. Our grooms give a few little surprises of their own. Don’t want to ruin it but the Dumb Dumb #1 sure comes at ya with a very unexpected surprise.

Check it all out. And be sure to check out all the other episodes of Hello Dumb Dumb.

“Hey I have a good idea! I’m going to use my girlfriend as the unknowing subject of my prank, film her with a hidden camera, and upload the video to YouTube where it will get a million hits! It’s gonna be rad!”

- Brain of guy who made “Scared in Bed” prank video.

Scaring your sleeping girlfriend out out of her mind by planting a fake head in her bed and poking her in the behind with a broomstick probably isn’t going to do wonders for your love life – but it sure is hilarious. It’s also exactly what the mastermind of the “Scared In Bed Prank” video has done. The video has recorded over 780,000 YouTube hits since it was uploaded a few weeks ago. ‘Best of YouTube’ has noticed it’s popularity and included the video in their collection of clips that have soared to the top.

No, the title of the movie isn’t a commentary on the career of Woody Harrelson, he just happens to be starring in it — along with comedic great Bill Murray.

We not only have the trailer for Zombieland. We have a behind-the-scenes look with a great interview of Woody Harrelson:

Coming October 9, 2009, Zombieland is yet another post-apocalyptic thriller slash comedy that pits a group of survivors with virtually nothing in common against a non-stop onslaught of zombies, in sorta the way that the Bush administration viewed any Muslim nation.

Following on the foot heels of great zombie comedies like Shaun of the Dead, Braindead, and Army of Darkness, Zombieland is a horror movie meets road trip movie where Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee) and Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus) go coast to coast across the U.S. fighting the semi-living dead and finally end up in an amusement park — where it’s not exactly fun and games.

The zombies in this case aren’t the living dead, they’re just the diseased almost-dead that happen to appear very dead. Does that mean hope for a happy ending where the world is cured? That much you’ll have to wait for.

The movie also stars Abigail Breslin, Amber Heard, Emma Stone with a cameo by Bill Murray.

This week’s episode of Hello Dumb Dumb reminds me of a book I read when I was a youngster: The Giving Tree.

That book was about a selfless tree who gave wonderful things like apples and shade to a deserving kid. They were friends — unlike the Man Vs. Tree relationship that nature has with our poor dumb dumbs.

While our dumb dumbs receive gifts from trees — they are the gifts of bruises, broken bones, cuts, scars, medical bills, shame, humility and embarrassment. In a world where trees are the calm, steady component of nature, these guys go and turn ‘em into a dangerous force to be reckoned with. Way to go.

Way to make the trees angry!

What’s the recipe for successful relationship? Honesty. Which essentially means, you, as a guy can be your own nasty self: burp, fart, stink, and be generally obnoxious. But what happens when honesty becomes a double-edged sword? What happens when the tables turn and your girl farts?

Well, straight from the horse’s… mouth, comedian Geoff Keith of Farts Etc. tells the very real story of his unfortunate experience of not only listening to a girl fart but being woken up by a not so gentle breeze from his girlfriend disturbing the peace and quiet of the night — and disturbing the very sanctity of what bonds a man and a woman.

All of this in a very special episode of Farts, Etc: My Girlfriends First Fart.

We’ll be here all week. Tip your waitresses.

Okay, I continue to enjoy the weirdness that surrounds anything and everything “Michael Jackson” but this is starting to get ridiculous…

And I love it.

So, if the rumor is true, and I have to tell you that I hope it is… no, I hope and pray that it is, if only for my own amusement, then it means the Home Alone star’s, um… donation was used to impregnate a surrogate of Michael’s choosing and…

Yeah, it’s just all too strange. Too deliciously strange. But I have the scoop on it this week.

Along with a big revelation about a particular image taken from video some hiker shot in Poland that supposedly shows the YETI. Yes, I said it “Yeti” as in Chinese Bigfoot or whatever it is. Except that this Yeti was seen in the mountains of Poland… (insert joke here).

Then of course, for those of you who missed it… let’s not forget about NUDESTOCK… that’s right, 3 days of peace, music and naked people.

Whatever you do, don’t take the brown acid, please…

All this and plenty more news I choose to abuse on this brand-spankin’ new episode of THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK! Did I say spankin’?

… or so they say. And by “they”, I’m talking about the people who figured out, through some kind of intense study and evaluation (read: folks who have waaaay too much time on their hands) that web searches for super hot Jessica Biel are DANGEROUS!

And for more reasons than you think…

While we’re at it, did you hear about Bob Dylan’s new gig? Let’s just say it’ll help those who like to get nowhere fast.

And then, of course, there’s this new “sandwich” that KFC started test marketing in the South. It’s called the Double Down and instead of a bun they are putting the contents of said “sandwich” in between two pieces of fried chicken! Your arteries are already crying as you read this, aren’t they?

Oh, and of course there’s that little matter of the guy who won the Ebay auction for the crypt just above Marylin Monroe and Robin Williams playing Susan Boyle on the silver screen.

I’d tell you more but why ruin a good episode of  THINGS I LEARNED THIS WEEK… the show with all the news we choose to abuse — all on MeVIO Men.

You might recognize Mike Judge as the brilliant comic mind behind “Beavis and Butthead”, “King of the Hill” and “Office Space”.

I mean, come on, if you don’t love Office Space, you have either never worked in an office or you have no soul. There is no doubt that Mike Judge has his finger on the pulse of modern satire.

However, let’s not talk about 2006’s “Idiocracy”. Judge’s last move, a farce about a guy who finds himself awakend 500 years in the future where we’ve all become fat morons is not what I’d call among his best works. 500 years. Seems like all the guy would have to do is wake up today to find the same thing…

… but I digress.

But we’re here today, not to rehash the past, but to talk about EXTRACT, Judge’s new movie, which I have to say from watching this trailer, looks quite promising. In fact, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it looks damn funny.

Joel (Jason Bateman) is on the verge of selling his company, one where they make flavor extracts. Next stop, retirement and easy street. However, things go awry when a Rube-Goldberg-esque series of disasters puts his business and personal life in jeopardy.

Comedy. Gold.

You have to love Bateman’s excellent comedic timing as a straight man (finely honed during his time on “Arrested Development”) and Mila Kunis (”That 70s Show”) is a total pie so what’s not to like there.

And obviously Ben Affleck makes a cameo as a stoner. He might be kind of a tool, but given how good he was in the Kevin Smith movies, I’m gonna say having him in “Extract” may be more of a plus than a minus.

But don’t take my word for it. Check out the IC TRAILERS coming attraction of EXTRACT yourself.
