Be Kind Rewind: Just a Silly Good Time
When I first saw the trailer for Be Kind Rewind, it made me feel all happy and giggly. I had relatively high hopes for the movie itself, thinking it would have that bizarre brand of humor I've come to expect from writer/director Michel Gondry and, satisfyingly, I was right. It's not the funniest film ever, and it's not the best use we've seen of Gondry's hyperactive imagination — it's just a goofy, silly good time.
Caption It!
Welcome to Caption It, a new game on BuzzSugar! Every other Wednesday, I'll post a funny TV or movie photo here and challenge you to think of the most hilarious caption possible. I'll announce the finalists the following Tuesday, and you'll get to vote for the best caption; the winner will get a fabulous BuzzSugar T-shirt!
Film Fanatics Make Be Kind Rewind-Like Videos for Contest
Opening this Friday, Michel Gondry's film Be Kind Rewind follows two video store employees, Mike and Jerry (played by Mos Def and Jack Black) who recreate shortened versions of the movies in their store when all of the videos are erased. Gondry himself spoofed his own trailer for Be Kind Rewind by recreating it by himself, scene for scene, with hilarious results. Now, thanks to a Filmmaking Frenzy contest, people around the country have been doing what Jerry and Mike — making spoofy 5-minute versions of their favorite films — in the hopes of winning a quad-core Dell workstation with a 30-inch monitor.
Michel Gondry Makes a Trailer Within His Trailer
This video of Michel Gondry spoofing his own movie's trailer is funny, and so meta it hurts my brain. Gondry's latest film Be Kind Rewind finds Jack Black and Mos Def working at a video store where all the videos suddenly become erased. Their solution?
The Release Dates, They Are A-Changin'
Who knows why the studios do what they do? It took me a while to forgive the moving of the U.S. release date for Simon Pegg comedy (directed by David Schwimmer) Run, Fat Boy, Run from October 26, 2007 to March 28, 2008.
