1. Link Blowout #65

    The Blind Side -vs- Ninja Assassin - Videogum side-by-sides the two seemingly polar-opposite films. Similarly predictably and pandering, now *that* I could agree with.

    James Cameron on Why Avatar Lost to Hurt Locker - My interpretation of Cameron’s carefully worded statements = it’s all Hollywood politics. Also, he kind of takes credit for KBigs getting the job.

    Avatar: Advertisement For Paganism - Or… Religious Over-Reaction of the Day!

    Eddie Grant’s “Romancing the Stone” - From the film Romancing the Stone. Vintage music video awesomeness.

    Beyond the Mat, 10 Years Later - A retrospective look at the best pro-wrestling documentary of all-time.

    Jeff Goldblum is Dating “Alex” From Lost - Chaos Theory at its best.

    Hurt Locker Fail - A collection of movie nitpicks mistakes from the *best movie made in 2009.

    Academy Award Winning Movie - A trailer spoof… similar to Charlie Brooker’s “How to Report the News” but with Oscar-bait films.

    Mythbuster Adam Savage’s Quest for the Perfect Blade Runner Gun Replica - He’s movie-prop obsessed. Related.

    Captain America Casting Update - John Krasinski is out (thank gawd), Wilson Bethel (Generation Kill), Mike Vogel (Cloverfield), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four) and Garrett Hedlund (Tron Legacy) are still in.

    The Bible in 3D! - Directed by David Cunningham (I’ve never heard of him either), budgeted at $30 million, based on the book of Genesis. Could be good. Or not.
