Brandon Hardesty has done it again. This time, the uber-talented comedian recreates a scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as both Christopher Walken and Jack Nicholson, and dammit if it isn't the best thing we've seen today. Video inside.

The weekend box office is in. And Universal's gamble on Green Zone seems to have failed dismally, despite positive critical reception and the Oscars success of the Hurt Locker. The $130m movie pulled in just $14.5m on opening weekend. [NYT]

It's hard finding love growing up in the Sith ranks. Everyone is force-choking each other to get ahead and there's barely any time to socialize. However, when a sexy pink Vader enters the scene, Darth gets all bashful and awkward.

You'll be able to bet, and trade, on the domestic box office of upcoming movies from next month, when a subsidiary of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald will open an online futures site.

Joshua Newton, the director who thought a $400,000 Oscar campaign in Variety would buy his movie a positive review, has made good on his threat to sue the Hollywood trade.

On Monday, a rumor spread that controversial NY Press film critic Armond White had been "blackballed by Focus Features at the request of [director] Noah Baumbach and his producer Scott Rudin." Consequently, a quite entertaining and profane email was written!

Tonight, Elinor Burkett—aka any combination of "Crazy," "Purple," "Kanye" and "Lady"—appeared on Joy Behar's show to set the record straight about her Oscar speech ambush of Music By Prudence co-producer Roger Ross Williams. Inside, Burkett's best moments.

Up in the Air had a rough Oscar night: getting shut out, a drunken lead actor, and losing Best Adapted Screenplay. Not to pour salt on the wound, but here's a collection of some continuity errors in Jason Reitman's film.

How do you make Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland even weirder, and infinitely more awesome in the process? You add Lady Gaga into the mix, obviously. Check out this awesome "trailer" for Gaga in Wonderland, and prepare to be amazed.

The first ever film version of Alice In Wonderland was released in 1903. Recently restored by the BFI National Archive, the short silent film is very charming and features surprisingly good special effects.

Today it seems that everyone's excited for The Hurt Locker's big wins at last night's Oscars. Everyone except us, that is! We've gathered up the most glaringly obvious mistakes in the newly crowned "Best Picture" for your enjoyment.

Bookies favor The Hurt Locker for a Best Picture win (gaining traction: an Up in the Air upset), but if BitTorrent downloads were votes, District 9 would squeak past Avatar for the win. Biggest losers: An Education, Blind Side. [TorrentFreak]

The Oscars are a lot of things, but seldom are they unpredictable, at least when it comes to the types of films that win big. Here, the phenomenon is explained brilliantly with a literal "trailer" for the Academy's requisite darlings.

Quentin Tarantino has resurrected many careers. His next personal project, according to conversations we overheard between the two men, involves Chris Tucker.

People who shouldn't sing "Cherry Bomb" while writhing around on the floor: The Queen Mum, Martha Stewart, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mario Batali, and Dakota Fanning. Dakota Fanning being the one I would like to see least. And yet...here we are.

The prolific director has gotten himself pigeonholed recently by using the same cast and similar visual style in his recent films. Our friends at CollegeHumor quickly sliced-n-diced him in this short skit.

Hollywood's big gay Olympics are approaching, and the annoying "film buff" in your office is probably pestering you to enter his Oscar pool, which he's convinced he's going to win. We want you to beat the ittle nerd. Here's how!

If you're wondering just how far the nearly insolvent ex-mogul Harvey Weinstein has fallen, here's a handy metric: He can't even stop a Canadian filmmaker from making an unauthorized documentary about what a gargantuan dick he is. A Canadian!

He's got the hair, the wild demeanor, and raves about the future. Sometimes nerds don't grow out of being nerds, but marinate in their nerdiness and grow up to be SUPER NERDS!

Didn't get to the movies much in 2009? Having been forced to sit through all two hours of "He's Just Not That Into You" in a theater with sorority girls, I'm wishing these guys had put this out sooner.
