The final installment of Edgar Wright’s Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, The World’s End, hits theaters this Friday. To get you in the right mind-set, DJ Mike Relm has put together this four-minute mash-up of scenes and audio from Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End. Who knew the old blood-squish SFX would fit in so well with electronic music?
- Clint Eastwood is in talks to take over for Steven Spielberg as director of the upcoming American Sniper.
- A man committed suicide in Olivia Newton-John’s home.
- Marion Cotillard takes a seat on the throne next to Michael Fassbender in the remake of Macbeth, a regal spot recently vacated by Natalie Portman.
- Outkast, with the music cast out: isolated vocals from “Bombs Over Baghdad.”
- Dr. Phil made an oopsie on the Twitters.
- “When James Cameron says there’s too much 3D in movies, it’s time to listen.” But remember when Prince said the Internet was over? And now look!
- “A male Laverne and Shirley on parole” isn’t a bad pitch, especially because semi-autobiographical prison tales are so hot right now.
- “L.A. is so weird sometimes.”
- The worst $350 you ever spent.
- YouTube is singing the Edward Snowden blues.
- Dolly Parton was made for Drunk History.
- “Shows featuring Timothy Olyphant as an angry person with hats and really low-riding jeans” and other specific niche interests.
- The regrets of Mandy Patinkin.
- “Suit and Tie” gets a metal makeover.
- Getting acquainted with the new cast of Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
- A dentist is planning to clone John Lennon from the Beatle’s tooth.
- Be wary of the brown cronut, man. That’s a bad trip: “The burgers are the deformed, ghastly brainchildren of Toronto burger joint, Epic Burgers and Waffles (in collaboration with a local bakery). They consist of a beef patty, yellow processed cheese, optional egg, optional bacon, and a ‘cronut’ bun topped with something called ‘maple bacon jam’ that looks like maple bacon jam after a dog threw it up in your bed.” Gawker’s Caity Weaver just supplied more nightmares with that paragraph than Wes Craven has in his entire catalog.
