If only the real Star Wars was this entertaining
I've always thought Star Wars was over hyped...but this changed my mind and heart completely.

Talk Shows I'd watch
I don't get the point of talk shows.
I mean how bored do you have to be to sit around for an hour just to watch people have a conversation?
I mean in small doses it's fine, like the clip of Zooey Deschanel on Jimmy Kimmel Live which I swear I only watched that a handful of times. Honest.
Or unless they had stuff like below...

Anyway, here's some more of this immortal performing vampire
Seriously...being surrounded by skaters in leotards must have been groundbreaking video making stuff

Use The Force, Colonel Blair
In the 90s it became very fashionable to make PC games in the form of interactive movies, ie: gameplay elements interspersed with live-action cutscenes and you were given (usually moral) choices to make in order to advance the story.
This of course, required actors and none more star-studded (ok, in a B-movie kinda way) than Wing Commander IV. Production values were ridiculously high being filmed on real sets versus blue screens at a cost of US$12 million.
If the CG looks shitty to you, remember this was 1995.
Check out the list below and other roles they were also famous for.
Watching the trailer brought a nostalgic tear to my eye.
Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker in Star Wars
Tom Wilson - Biff Tannen in Back to the Future
Mark Dacascos - ("I'm really sorry, sir"), Crying Freeman, Jimmy Lee in Double Dragon
Malcolm McDowell - Alex in A Clockwork Orange
John Rhys-Davies - Gimli the dwarf in Lord of the Rings

(Why) the Last Man
*Gravelly American movie trailer voice*
Imagine a world stripped bare by a virus.
Imagine cities emptied of people.
Imagine being prey to savages once human.
Imagine being the last man on earth.
Imagine that it isn't the Fresh Prince. And he hasn't got a dog.
Because he doesn't need one. Because he's....Mark Dascascos.

The stupidest sounding people in gameshow history
Honestly I didn't really know where Budapest was either. But I knew Michael Jackson performed there.
Kellie Pickler btw is an American Idol Finalist...thus some sort of celebrity
Which leads us to...
I completely agree
The Japanese Mind is an amazing thing Part 2 or How much does it cost to piss in your mouth?
No, seriously.
I guess we should mention this is Not Safe For Anywhere. But hey, you're on WTFAMIWATCHING, so don't expect to watch something and go, 'mmm.'

Engrish Progenitors
If you've ever like me, wondered about the origins of Engrish, look no further!
In the beginning there was a game, Zero Wing. An alright side-scrolling shooter with the most horrific English translations known to Mankind at the time. It was like they put it through Babelfish in a time where there was no Babelfish.
The results as they say, speak for themselves.
Some people have set it to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody but the original is farther down.

Sex Education rocks!
If only all education was so cool. I wonder if all hardcore bands are inadvertently singing about sex education. Maybe they need subtitles.

No news like nude news
There is truly no better news than good news, and no good news like the nude news.
And because I'm an equal opportunity kinda guy
I hope this isn't a re-post...but naked news is worth posting twice!

Misogyny artiste.

The Spidermen of our world
For many men, superheroes are not just fantasies...they are simply occupations with highly stringent requirements.
In any case, I like the idea of a real Spiderman, and I'm not disappointed to find that one such man existed. He was Dan Osman.
well... I guess luck can't favor one man all the time
But this is the best spiderman around
SHUT YOUR MOUTH PUSSYCAT AND GET ME A MACCHIATO NOW

Before they hit the big time
Ah. Pr0nz. The old standby struggling actors turn to when trying to find work and to afford that proverbial next cheeseburger.
The only catch is when you do become famous and according to some immutable universal law, some asshole while alone with his meat is bound to go, "HEY! Now he/she looks really familiar!". Cue your face all over the tabloids with corresponding sensationalist headline and a featured spot on celebrity nudity blogs.
So here's an interesting conundrum: What if you're already a hardcore pr0nznography superstar and some day people find videos of you doing something wholesome?
At any rate, see if you can recognise this pr0nz goddess.

The Inaugural WTF Movie Review...TERMINATOR SALVATION
Poor Christian Bale. He must hate Australian actors by now.
Who could have imagined the 2 biggest movie franchise lead roles of his once reputable and much lauded acting career would end up having him overshadowed by supporting actors from down under? After Heath Ledger died and embezzled all the spotlight in the Dark Knight, here comes Sam Worthington, in a meaty performance that blasts Christian Bale's best intense intentions out of the water? No wonder the man had a meltdown.
As you can surmise, Terminator: Salvation, is anything but. It'd be more apt to have named it Terminator: Snarlvation, because everyone's in a pretty bad mood, probably because they don't actually want to be in the movie. Christian Bale of course, is the king of gritting, snarling and growling...In fact the only time that he is every anything but unhappy in the show, he's still got a resolute frown on his face, which confused me as to who was the robot in the end.
Its not a horrible movie. Its watchable. In fact, as a fan of the Terminator series you should watch it! But here are a lists of things you will invariably like and dislike about the movie
Likes
1.)Terminators
2.)Robots
3.)Explosions
4.)Guns
5.)Pseudo Science
6.)Michael Ironside
7.)Moon bloodgood as a futuristically confident fighter pilot who, in our time, would be known as a slut (the future changes perceptions)
Dislikes
1.)No arnie
2.)No arnie
3.)Crappy Kate Connor
4.)Extremely over dramatic scene construction (I.E. CAMP AS FUCK)
5.)Reiteration of Franchise catchphrases in extremely anticlimatic ways
6.)WHERE IS THE GOVERNATOR?
Lets face it, no one can say Ah'll be BACH convincingly in any terminator movie apart from Arnold. Its HIS line! You can't have another actor say it and not expect the audience to groan and cringe in simultaneous spontaneity.
Which brings us to the main cusp of the problems about this movie. Poor direction. Director MCG, whose past hits have included Charlie's Angels and Chuck... waitaminute...Charlie's Angels? That camwhore hongkong action fanboy ripoff movie and even more self indulgent sequel? The director of that cheese fest? Directing TERMINATOR? The mind boggles.
The main problem is SCI FI as a genre is already largely unbelieveable, and the audience's suspension of disbelief is already padded with accomodations for a cheesy plot, and loopy science facts. So that's where the first 2 terminators succeeded, where everyone was kind of acting...but not really. It was an understated, normalized kind of sub reality, where it felt that maybe this cool cyborg assasin could be your own reprogrammed cyborg bodyguard, if you became the leader of the resistance, assuming you survived the nuclear fallout.
What a terminator film doesn't need, is campy action and over dramatic posturing with rehashing the tried and tested movie catch phrases. Definitely not Christian Bale about to depart on his own for a possible suicide mission, with the rising sun back lighting his determined, armed to the teeth, silohuette and turning his head to say...I'll be back. I don't think so buddy.
In a nutshell, the Terminator film has some good parts, high production value, and cool robots. But it crawls through the first hour without advancing the story very much, then confuses by splitting up into at least 3 subplots, barrels ahead without explaining very much, starts to look pretty good in a climatic action finish, then splutters to a halting, disappointing ending...all the while not actually fleshing out the characters past stereotypical future gloom and doom types.
I'm sorry Christian Bale, if you're reading this, its hard not to get overshadowed by the terminator character when you're in a movie franchise that starts with the word "TERMINATOR". Loved you in American Psycho, and Equilibrium.
Lets end with memories of better times, for both Christian Bale, and the Terminator movies.

NNNOOOoooOOOOOOO!!!!
Machines can't drool or leak mucus so the ultimate performance is flawed.
Pure genuis!
This stuff is so awesome that I really wish I had thought of it first
More amazing would probably be the process of conceptualizing the original video. Really. WTF
