Will Pinkberry be the next big star in Hollywood (in 3D, of course)?
People give Hollywood-- as a business-- a lot of sh-t, and that's probably deserved (if you've seen the trailer for Little Fockers that we ran earlier today, then you know we speak the truth). Sometimes, films will come out of nowhere and be so obviously poorly-written and ill-conceived, it's hard to figure out how they ever got made in the first place. Take, for instance, Battlefield: Earth. There was a film that looked, sounded, and smelled like disaster long before it ever hit the screens at your local theater, so how is it that Warner Bros. sank over $75 million into that trainwreck? The video below kinda answers all the questions you might have about the Hollywood creative process, and if you can deal with a few naughty words, you're going to laugh your ass off. See it for yourselves below, my gentle Examiner readers...
We get a lot of angry mail here at the Comedy Examiner's Office, mainly stuff from people who are mad that I've mocked Jay Leno. Second runner-up? Twilight fans. But the third most popular emails are probably those from people who just want to complain (along with your friendly, neighborhood Comedy Examiner) about how crappy a lot of the films coming out of Hollywood are. For every Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, there's a Doogle. For every Avatar, there's an Avatar (I don't know which side of the debate you fall on, so take your pick). The video below clears up much of our confusion about Hollywood's creative process. Check it out:
Late last week, I wrote a vaguely scathing article about how Transformers 3 was going to remove all the "dorky comedy" from its script, only to receive a snippy email from Michael Bay as a result. Despite the fact that I'd dragged Transformers 2 over the coals for being totally nonsensical, Bay only wanted me to understand how "funny" Transformers 3 would be without the "dorky comedy"-- nevermind the fact that the film might not make all the sense in the world. That's exactly the sorta non-thinking that leads to things like Pinkberry: The Movie. Oh, well, whatcanyado? Not see Knight and Day, that's what.
That's all we've got for you for now, folks, but stay tuned for more as it becomes available.

Why, if that wasn't enough, we've also got some other recent Comedy Examiner articles for you to look over while you're here:
HELEN MIRREN WITH MACHINE GUNS, PEOPLE: THE NEW TRAILER FOR ACTION-COMEDY "RED" ARRIVES ONLINE, IS AWESOME-- in which we watch Helen Mirren get buck-wild, John Malkovich run around on eleven years' worth of acid, and Morgan Freeman be a dirty old man. It's kind of awesome.
FUNNY VIDEO: OK GO'S DRUMMER HAS A STARING CONTEST WITH A MUPPET WHILE ZACH GALIFIANAKIS WATCHES (WITH VIDEO)-- in which everything you just read in that headline happens, and it's even weirder than it sounds.
IT'S OFFICIAL: JAY LENO ISN'T DOING ANY BETTER THAN CONAN O'BRIEN WAS DOING, RATINGS-WISE, ON "THE TONIGHT SHOW"-- in which we make fun of Jay Leno a little bit more as he fails to earn more ratings than Conan did while on "The Tonight Show". Wonder if NBC'll replace Jay Leno with someone even less funny?
SHOULD YOU GO SEE "KNIGHT AND DAY" THIS WEEK? 51% OF CRITICS SAY YOU SHOULD, AND THOSE'RE NOT BAD ODDS-- in which we look at a group of reviews for Tom Cruise's latest film and try to decide whether or not we're going to check it out.
