On the heels of the 100 greatest movie insults of all time, here are 100 more terrifically scathing digs. Warning: lots and lots of naughty language. So very very NSFW, if your work frowns on cursing. Anyway, stick with the whole 10 minutes: my beloved Pink Flamingos line isn’t until the very end. READ FULL STORY »

'The Dark Knight Rises' producer says Superman/Batman crossover probably won't happen. Thank goodness.
Image Credit: DC Comics (2)Will Superman and Batman ever appear in the same movie? It almost happened twice in the last decade. In 2002, Warner Bros. greenlit Batman vs. Superman, a crossover film to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen (Troy). That project was canceled when the studio opted to reboot both characters separately, a plan which worked incredibly for Batman and less incredibly for Superman. READ FULL STORY »

Have you ever played the 'Lost' numbers? You should have last night.
As someone tweeted me last night: It pays to watch TV. At least $150. The January 4 Mega Millions winning numbers shared four in common with those that Hurley played on Lost. His numbers: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. The Mega Millions numbers: 4, 8, 15, 25, 47, and 42. According to the Mega Millions website, which has received “unprecedented traffic,” 41,763 people matched four of those numbers and earned $150. Of course, we can’t tell if they were all playing the Lost numbers, but you know some of them were. Another 390 people matched five of the numbers (taking home $10,000 or $250,000, depending on which ones), while a lucky two matched all six (and will split an estimated jackpot of $355,000,000).
So, time to confess: Have you ever used the Lost numbers, whether it be for the lotto or something else? If not, have you used any other numbers with pop culture associations? (We all promise not to steal them.)

Gemma Arterton joins Jeremy Renner in 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' (and the 'Twilight' effect?)
Image Credit: Solarpix/PR Photos; Sylvain Gaboury/PR PhotosCould this be the greatest twist on the fairytale genre since Shrek? The leads are now set for Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, the film set 15 years after the siblings killed the witch who kidnapped them — and finds them working as witch-seeking bounty hunters. The trades report Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time) has joined Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Town) in the title roles. (They have similar face shapes — we like it.) Will Ferrell, Chris Henchy, Adam McKay and Kevin J. Messick are producing, so we assume there’ll be some comedy accompanying the dark action when cameras roll this March in Berlin. READ FULL STORY »

Trending topics: #lessambitiousmovies is the latest Twitter game
It’s the Twitter craze that’s sweeping the Internet, you guys: #lessambitiousmovies! And lo, it is fun. Simple tweak the title of a movie to get yerself a piping hot pun/joke. For example, @muskrat_john’s “The Quarterback of Notre Dame.” I laughed mightily, PopWatchers. Some other good ones:
@LazyDaisyMarie: “Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Mature and Responsible“
@derekablaylock: “It’s not Deliverance it’s DiGiorno“
@KitCameo: “Interview With an Umpire“
More here, and of course, here.
Let’s hear it, PopWatchers: Can you come up with your own less ambitious movies?

Aunt Jemima, Mr. Clean, and the Gecko bring it on in Day 2 of the Big Shill bracket game
A-B-C. Always Be Closing. Alec Baldwin’s cold-blooded Glengarry Glen Ross character would never be called in to rip these characters a new one. The GEICO Gecko? Kid can sell. Aunt Jemima? She’s been moving pancakes for over a century. They are the best of the best. That’s why this month, they’re included in EW’s Big Shill bracket game, which celebrates the country’s finest advertising icons — and pits them head-to-head in a battle for supremacy. In our first round, Auntie J draws Mrs. Butterworth in a showdown that promises to be sticky, while old-school Mr. Clean squares off with a new kid on the block, the Old Spice Guy. Meanwhile, Geoffrey the Giraffe gets his shot at the Anheuser-Busch clydesdales, and the princely Gecko might have to get his tidy toe pads dirty against Dig ‘Em the Frog. One of these green fellas is going home. But it’s up to you: Vote for which advertising icons reign supreme after the jump. (And review the competitors’ profiles below to help you make your selection.) It’s up to you, PopWatchers: Whose shilling gets top billing? Check out the entire bracket here to start formulating your long-range predictions.

Lea Michele joins PETA to denounce horse-drawn carriages in NYC
Lea Michele is lending her celebrity to PETA to convince people to boycott horse-drawn carriages in New York City. “Horses in the carriage industry are deprived of everything that makes their lives worth living,” Michele says in the PSA. “Don’t get taken for a ride.” Does Michele look like a fairytale heroine alongside her noble unicorn in this picture? Well, she doesn’t not look like that…. (Lavender bridle FTW!) READ FULL STORY »

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Conan the Barbarian': Was his first big movie also his best? PopWatch Rewind consults Crom for his opinion.
Conan the Barbarian sounds like the ultimate beefcake action movie. But the film is actually a fascinating curio, starring a cast of non-actors and featuring one of cinema history’s great scores. The first major starring role for Arnold Schwarzenegger (who supposedly had to lose muscle mass in order to swing the sword), Conan has very little to do with Robert E. Howard’s character and everything to do with the particular obsessions of director John Milius, who mashed several different Conan stories together, sprinkled on some Nietzsche and some caveman religion, and then poured in a river of blood. Voila: Conan juice! Like revenge, it’s best served cold.
Note: This is Part One of a three-day Governor Schwarzenegger Retrospective. Click through for PopWatch Rewind takes on Commando and Predator. READ FULL STORY »

'The Biggest Loser': Who are the mystery trainers?
Image Credit: Trae Patton/NBCIn tonight’s season premiere of The Biggest Loser: Couples, the pairs who placed near the top of the 5K challenge faced a difficult choice: Stick with all-star Biggest Loser trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels, or gamble on two new mystery trainers (shown only in silhouette, or from behind, all episode) with the bonus prize of four weeks of immunity from elimination. It’s a no-brainer, right? You take “The Unknowns” and buy yourself some time. Wrong! Three teams — Aqua, Green, and Purple — picked Bob and Jillian when they could have been safe for four weeks. And what did these Bob-and-Jillian-loyal contestants get in return? Incredulous disdain from Bob and Jillian! “What are these guys doing? This is the biggest prize ever awarded in Biggest Loser history!” exclaimed Bob, his forehead vein wriggling in alarm.
So who are The Unknowns? After the challenge, they kept showing those creepy blue-lit silhouettes of a man and a woman. I was desperately hoping for the mystery trainers to turn out to be mannequins of Bob and Jillian (thus leaving the contestants to train themselves). But those silhouettes were likely just cardboard cutouts of the real people that the two mystery trainers turned out to be, or the real people themselves. Real people. What a buzzkill. The lady trainer is a boxer, a brunette (with seemingly amber highlights?), and has beautifully toned lower legs, as we learned from a powerful closeup of her striding somewhere. The man trainer, also dark-haired, has “a pre-med science background” and is “one of the most qualified and best trainers in the country,” according to his own voiceover. They could be past contestants or they could be regular laypeople. We just don’t know.
Who do you think they are? Speculate, and discuss the premiere of The Biggest Loser: Couples, below!
