In the grand tradition of Jackass, from the guy who brought you Borat, it's Bruno! ...You know, if you like that sort of thing. "That sort of thing" being Sacha Baron Cohen pushing the buttons of real-life Americans, and discovering that we don't like having our buttons pushed. I, for one, can take it or leave it, but Omar and Pablo take it and loooove it! To celebrate the release of the Bruno trailer, the Gallaga brothers put on their finest mesh shirts to break down the comedy (and the words that take up valuable comedy space) for us. Check it out below, or watch it here!

Zach Galifianakis has been everywhere promoting The Hangover this week, and with upcoming roles in a prominent HBO hipster series (that actually looks good), the already confirmed Hangover 2 and seemingly endless casting announcements popping up about him every day, it seems he's on the precipice of mainstream comedy fame. And for good reason. Aside from Louis CK, he's probably the best stand-up comedian working today, and in honor of Hangover Friday, I thought I'd do a little round-up of some of his most popular work for those out there who may not know much of his stuff yet. Get to know Mr. Zatch Gaspafanasky (as comedy club announcers frequently used to refer to him) before he makes soda come out your nose at the movies this weekend. (And for all you pre-existing Zach fans reading this, enjoy the memory lane strollin' after the jump!) Headphones are recommended, though -- these contain language of an adult, albeit ridiculously immature, nature.

Making fun of movies like Confessions of a Shopaholic is admittedly pretty fish-in-a-barrel as far as making fun of movies goes, but still -- these things continue to be made and relentlessly advertised, and women continue to pay money to see them even though they're insulting in every way imaginable, and that's something I've never understood. I guess it's my pop culture blind spot, and there's clearly some kind of appeal these movies have that I just don't get. But no matter what that allure is, it doesn't negate the fact that movies like this get greenlit by a bunch of men sitting around agreeing that women are shallow and stupid enough to enjoy this crap, and that notion is then enforced by things like 27 Dresses and He's Just Not That Into You killing the box office almost every single time they're released, and I'm sitting here still confused. These movies are not just boring and harmless; they set us back. They make us stupider. They re-enforce gender roles. They're bad for everyone. And here are just a few of the many reasons why Confessions of a Shopaholic is no exception.

Okay, normally we make fun of Nicolas Cage movies, but his newest one doesn't look half bad. Take his underwhelming Next, add a little Final Destination, some Mothman Prophecies and a smidge of The Day After Tomorrow... Okay, that does sound bad. But the trailer somehow makes it work. What's more, all of these elements (plane crashes, magical numbers that predict future events, whispering strangers in the woods) add up to what feels like a big episode of Lost, and that can't be all bad, can it? The Gallaga brothers may not buy into our Lost comparison, but they have their own take on the trailer in their latest video. Check out the new "Trailers Without Pity" after the jump!

Everybody loves monsters and aliens. After all, they've been making movies about monsters since movies were invented, and aliens since aliens were invented! So it's about time that someone decided to make them fight. In 3-D, no less! The Super Gallaga Bros. have released their latest trailer review, this time of Dreamworks' Monsters vs. Aliens, and it's almost as funny as the trailer makes the movie look. Almost. They nearly put themselves over with "happy eye boogers," but we'll let you be the judge. See the newest episode of "Trailers Without Pity" after the jump!

In comics and on the screen, Wolverine has been the most popular X-Man for years. In fact, it could be argued that the first two X-Men movies were de facto Wolverine films. But now he's making it official, with the first movie to actually put his name on the marquee, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Since his origin is one of the most mysterious (read: sexy) things about him, all signs point to this being a pretty amazing movie. But it's hard to tell from just the trailer, unless you're an über-nerd with a stack of Wolverine comics in your closet. Luckily, nerd-scholars Omar G. and Pablo G. are here to explain everything to us in their latest installment of "Trailers Without Pity"! See the video after the jump.

While there may not be a wealth of movie news out there today (I'm about to march down to the Variety offices and let them know that they're not on vacation yet, thankyouverymuch), there are certainly a buttload of new posters and trailers up all over the internet. The coolest of which, in my opinion, is the exclusive over at Ain't It Cool News of an extra snippet of the newest Star Trek trailer, featuring Leonard Nimoy. That's all I'll tell you -- I'd advise you to go check it out yourself.

For months, there was virtual silence about J.J. Abram's new take on Star Trek. Details of the plot and images of the cast were kept tightly under wraps. Now, some six months before the movie bows in May 2009, you can hardly go a day without stumbling across some new Trek tidbit. Whether it's a new trailer featuring Leonard Nimoy or a new movie poster, news is coming fast and furious. Just yesterday, IDW Publishing announced it would be publishing a four-issue prequel comic book miniseries leading up to the new movie. As if that's not enough grist for the fannish mill, there are also new still shots from the scene in the trailer where young Kirk comes face to face with... Well, it's kind of hard to explain. Click on through only if you want to get a gander at what happens.

The newest Watchmen production diary is out, and it's a very special episode this week. Apparently, and don't tell anybody this... girls kick ass. No, it's true! Specifically, Carla Gugino and Malin Akerman kick ass, as they're pretty much the only two women in the movie, and they play mother and daughter crimefighters Silk Spectre I and Silk Spectre II, even though one is 37 and the other is 30. This video is the first time anyone has seen Gugino in her old-woman makeup, interacting with her grown daughter, and it's also the first footage we've seen of her teammate Hooded Justice, outside of the group photo he takes with the original Minutemen. (We also see the young Comedian in his jester suit.) And, of course, since the video is titled "Girls Kick Ass," there are plenty of shots of the younger Spectre beating cons up during the prison break. But don't just read about it -- watch it after the jump.

Barack Obama has just been elected the first Black President... and I'm here to talk to you about entertainment news. Oh joy. I feel like the guy who goes into the cathouse bedroom after Long Dong Silver. Nothing I say is going to have one damn bit of effect today, and it shouldn't. History has been made! Why are you even here? Get! Go celebrate or mourn, depending on your political affiliation. Sober up or get drunk! Poke your finger into Joe the Plumber's buttcrack as he fixes your sink. Whatever! Just do a Marvin K. Mooney imitation and PLEASE GO NOW! You're still here? I guess that means I have to write something. (I'm never going to sober up now.) Let's cast the upcoming Election of 2008 movie!
