Merging Leatherface With Garth Brooks Music Works Way Better Than You Expected

As a lifelong fan of country music (don't @ me) and a lifelong devotee to movies, I'd be lying if I said it had never crossed my mind to merge the two of them through the process of parody songs that the likes of Weird Al Yankovic have mastered so well. Tragically, I cannot sing and have no experience writing songs, so my dreams of merging Kenny Chesney tunes with Akira Kurosawa movies shall always remain just that, a dream. But luckily, The Merkins have taken this idea and made Friends With No Faces, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre themed parody of the Garth Brooks song Friends In Low Places. The result is something far more hysterical than I could ever hope to make.

You Totally Need To Go To Nathan Rabin's Happy Place (From The Interwebs)

It's been a few days over two years since film critic Nathan Rabin and The Dissolve parted ways and since then Rabin has kept busy with a number of freelance writing jobs, including My World Of Flops over at The A.V. Club and other series of essays he's penned for the likes of Rotten Tomatoes. But now, he's looking to start up his own website, one where folks like me who have always loved his writing can get all the Rabin they want to their heart's content. This is where Nathan Rabin's Happy Place comes in, a new website that's all Rabin, all the time.

Check Out MovieBob's Take On How The Matrix Is Really That Good! (From The Interwebs)

MovieBob is totally one of my favorite movie critics, a guy whose work as a YouTube film critic offers hope to a medium of expression oversaturated with PewdiePie knock-offs and shallow examples of film criticism. This is a guy who goes for analytical observations of movies, proving once again (much like The Dissolve or Roger Ebert's numerous internet essays) that internet-based film criticism can be a good thing, much as CinemaSins would make you understandably think otherwise! And today, MovieBob's released another entry in a series of long-form video essays he's dubbed Really That Good.

God Help Us All, My Prediction Came True; Someone Just Made A Mash-Up Of All-Star And Bee Movie.

"I Am Become Death, Destroyer Of Worlds." - J. Robert Oppenheimer

Back on Tuesday, I wrote up on a version of All-Star someone on YouTube had made where ever word was now SOME-BODY. It was both beautiful and terrifying. The internet was now toying with the power of Smash Mouth, its obsession with the band being the sort of fixation that can only end in disaster. Ditto for the internet's obsession with Bee Movie, a 2007 DreamWorks Animation film that wasn't very successful at the box office and more noteworthy for proving a one-joke premise and an omnipresent marketing cannot compensate for a lackluster script.

Now, the same YouTube personality behind the version of All-Star with only the words Somebody sung in it has decided to play in God's domain and just merge the two of internet's obsession with a horrifying minute-long gaze into the abyss. Looking over this guys YouTube videos, his obsession with All-Star is staggering. It's as if the internets ongoing Smash Mouth mania is just the various planets spinning around the sun that is this guys various All-Star-centric videos. How he can top himself after his most recent creation, I don't know, but I'm truly scared to find out.

All-Star is utterly unrecognizable in the form it's presented in here. What has become of you All-Star? Have you succumbed to the memes you thought you could control? Have you become the very incoherent meme you were at first trying to ironically parody? Contemplating this matter further, if All-Star cannot endure in this world untainted, what hope is there for the rest of us? I hope the human being behind this entity is proud of himself. He has proven that there is only despair in this world. All that is waiting for us all in this torturous existence is misery and ironic Bee Movie memes. There is nothing else. At once, we are all Barry B. Benson and yet none of us truly are Barry B. Benson.

The horrors of 2016 will never cease.

The Newest Atrocity Created By White People In 2016 Is This Version Of All-Star Where Every Word Is Somebody

If I've learned anything in 2016, it's that us white people can do anything, and I mean that sentiment in the worst way possible. We can overtake wildlife refugees and suffer no consequences! Hell, a white dolt can brag about grabbing women by the genitals and can elected president! It's like we're living an Alt-Rights wet dream. And now the newest atrocity committed by white people is the newest evolution of the internet's ongoing obsession with Smash Mouth's late 1990's song All-Star. This newest piece of evolution entails replacing every word in the song with the very first word uttered in the song: SOMEBODY.

Check it out below.



I am beyond words.

What I hate about this thing most of all is how damn catchy it is. Goddamnit, why does this song work so well for whatever machinations the evil geniuses on the internet with too much time on their hands come up with??

We all know it's only a matter of time before someone decides to merge the internet's two current favorite obsessions right? Like, some kind of Bee Movie/All-Star hybrid is waiting in the wings. Perhaps our salvation from Trump's America will come in the form of this horrific Bee Movie/All-Star hybrid, a creation whose beauty unites the world over, ceases all wars and eliminates world hunger in the blink of an eye.

It is coming people. Just you wait....

Check it out below!

There is graphic language ahead, just so ya know.

Stephen Colbert's final episode as the host of The Colbert Report (before he takes over for David Letterman in 2015) airs next week, but luckily his final episode will air just in time so he can still celebrate the release of the final Hobbit movie.

What If George Lucas Put His Own Spin On The Trailer For The Force Awakens? (From The Interwebs)

George Lucas has done a lot of great things for cinema, but there's no denying he's also had plenty of bumps in the road of his career.......to put it lightly. Changing the Original Trilogy with terrible CGI, while keeping the original versions of the movies under wraps, was a hideous move, and it's those changes to the original movies that get lampooned in this trailer that ponders what would happen if George Lucas gave his own spin on the trailer for The Force Awakens.

With Do You Want To Cook A Meth Lab, Breaking Bad And Frozen Come Together At Last!! (From The Interwebs)

Some things were always meant to come together. Peanut butter and jelly. Rolls and butter. Chocolate and more chocolate (I'm hungry as I'm writing this). I never would have thought Frozen and Breaking Bad would come together so well, but the Internet has a tendency to surprise me. Below, check out a parody that merges the two entitled Do You Want To Build A Meth Lab?

Ghostbusters And Mythbusters Engage In Rap Battle (From The Interwebs)

Who ya gonna call...for great internet entertainment? ERB of course! The YouTube channel (whose name stands for Epic Rap Battles) has been providing rap battles placing two famous opponents for a while now, and I've been a fan of the work for over three years now. The channel, which is led by NicePeter and EpicLloyd, has just returned from a brief hiatus to deliver a new season of fun rap related mayhem, and the first one, letting the Ghostbusters and Mythbusters duke it out, is superb. Check it out below!!

Llamas With Hats Is A Beautiful Dissection Of Human Nature

One of 2014's Worst Movies, God's Not Dead, Condensed To Seven Minutes (From The Interwebs)

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GOD'S NOT DEAD FOLLOW

There's few pieces of cinema this year, or really, ever, as vile and putrid as God's Not Dead. It played more like a parody of poorly done faith-based features rather than an actual attempt at creating cinema. As s Christian myself, the films relentless horrific treatment towards those of any other faith than Christianity was truly horrendous to witness. A new video has come up condensing the poor excuse for a film to just seven minutes, and you can give it a watch below.

From The Interwebs: The Ducktales Theme Song Reeneacted By Real Ducks Is Ducking Adorable

More adorable duck shenanigans

I've been seeing this video all over the internet today, and as a massive fan of Ducktales (and most of the other Disney Afternoon cartoons for that matter), I loved it. But I told myself I wouldn't post it on this blog, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I'd go against the flow, I wouldn't join the in-crowd. However, more than a couple rewatches later, I can't help it. Here it is folks, the Ducktales theme song, this time reenacted with real ducks.

From the Interwebs: LEGO Guardians of the Galaxy Are Brought To Life In This Clever Video

As someone who has been anticipating Guardians of The Galaxy for over two years, the monumental success the movie has found is extremely exciting.

From The Interwebs: Film Critic Hulk Takes A Look At Michael Bay

The glasses really make this picture for me, as well his hands

I don't wanna use the phrase "Great minds think alike" here, since I don't wanna imply that my mind is in even the same realm of greatness as the masterful film lover Film Critic Hulk. So lemme just say that Film Critic Hulk (whose Twitter feed is as glorious as the critic himself) also took a look at the filmmaker Michael Bay, and wow, is it great. Check it out immediately.

If you haven't yet, also take a gander at my essay on my long, emotional turmoil-filled experiences with Michael Bay, as well as my Box Office Analysis on why the Transformers franchise has lasted so long. And of course, I have a massive review of Transformers: Age of Extinction for your pleasure. And finally, come back tomorrow for when Franchise Frenzy returns (my bi-weekly column looking at various notable film franchises) to conclude all this Transformers coverage by looking at all four movies and answering the immortal question, where'd it all go wrong for the robots in disguise when it comes to 21st Century filmmaking?

From The Interwebs: Guardians of The Galaxy Trailer Gets Beautifully Mixed With Star Wars

I chose this picture solely because it makes me happy. Seriously,
who deosn't love C-3PO??

I love Star Wars so, so, so, so, so, so very much, and Guardians of The Galaxy is my most anticipated movie for the rest of the summer (right alongside Boyhood). I didn't think my love for Star Wars and my excitement for Guardians could possible go any higher, yet a brilliant YouTuber has managed that feat. Presenting, the music and structure of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but presented with footage and dialogue from Star Wars.

From The Interwebs: Rocky & Bullwinkle Return...To Promote GEICO Insurnace

From The Interwebs is a feature where I highlight videos, articles and pictures from the Internet I find interesting and worthy of sharing on this blog. 

The characters that Jay Ward made in the 60's got a big boost in popularity this year when Mr. Peabody & Sherman was released to OK domestic box office and surprisingly high critical praise. I myself found what I have seen of the movie to be dull (my family and I left our theatrical screening about 40 minutes in, so I can't give an official consensus), but at least it gave the characters Jay created some publicity.
