Untertainment Weakly (6-24-2011)

Rebecca Black’s “Friday” is caught up in a legal battle which has gotten it pulled from YouTube and Vevo. There is a question as to who actually owns the master recording of the song. My guess is that it’s some pedophile.

There are still a lot of articles about Lady Gaga. Seriously, people, she is awful. Lady Gaga fans are the worst.

“The Green Lantern” made $53 million. I wonder if it has effected the sales of actual lanterns.

“The Hangover II” is now the highest grossing Rated-R comedy of all time. That’s a lot of qualifiers.

“Jackass” star Ryan Dunn died in a car accident. He was drunk, of course.

Comedy Central has canceled Norm Macdonald’s sport show. Fuck them, that show was great.

Spider-Man is going to die in “Ultimate Spider-Man.” Which basically means nothing, not only in the grand scheme of things, but in comic books.

There is talks of a “Wet Hot American Summer” sequel/prequel.

Ron Howard is going to direct a live action version of “Spy vs. Spy” for some reason. Money maybe?

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant will be bringing a new comedy to HBO called “Life’s Too Short,” which will star Warwick Davis.

Movies Out Today
Cars 2 - I have heard this is not all too good, unfortunately. Though, the reviews may have been negative only to use the phrase “Cars 2 is stuck in neutral.” I’m pretty sure that you could do much worse, as far as movies for kids go. If you’re really into talking cars, then this is definitely a movie you will not want to miss.

Bad Teaches - This is an updated, gender reversed version of “The Substitute.” Cameron Diaz plays the Tom Berenger role. Is “The Substitute” a movie ripe for the remake? I would have to say no, but I say “no” to pretty much every movie that’s coming out. I still want to see “Bridesmaids,” but that is seeming more unlikely every day. Fans of “The Substitute” will really dig this.

Other Thoughts
I watched a terrible movie (Demons) and a great movie (Rio Bravo) this week.

Pretty bad news this week--Norm got canceled. I blame everybody who didn’t watch it, naturally. I did! Although, I downloaded it since I don’t have cable. Great show.
