While We're At It: The New Indiana Jones Trailer
Movie studios like me, that's why they release their new trailers on the weekends. Here's the brand spanking new one for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, unlike the first one, it looks really good! More »

The New Dark Knight Trailer
So here's the new high definition trailer for The Dark Knight. There were a couple of crappy bootleg versions on YouTube for a few hours last week until Warner Bros. pitched a fit. Video after the jump. More »

'The Empire Strikes Barack'
Here is the only pro-Barack Obama (or pro-anyone, really) YouTube video that I've been able to sit through in its entirety. But, then again, I'll sit through pretty much anything involving Star Wars. Because Star Wars is the greatest thing ever. Period. More »

Conan O'Brien's Grand Theft Auto for Yuppies
Do you shop at Whole Foods? Live in gentrified Brooklyn? Read the Sunday Times with no seething sense of rage? Then Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City isn't for you. But fear not, Conan O'Brien and his pals at Late Night have developed a kinder gentler version. Sample clip after the jump. More »

Trapped In An Elevator For Six Minutes
Getting stuck in an elevator could be the new path to media stardom. It did wonders for the guy from BusinessWeek who got trapped in one for 41 hours and ended up losing his job and his mental health. But he did get in the New Yorker! Now the parodies have begun, and this one, from Max Silvestri of 23/6, is actually pretty hilarious. Be warned, though: it makes light of the serious issue of elevator survival skills. Clip below.

It's Alive!
A remake of the 1974 splatter classic It's Alive—in which a cuddly widdle baby eats everyone!—is coming soon. The trailer was just released at Cannes, so now it's on YouTube, so now it's here. Yay! More »

A Drunken Sidewalk Scuffle In Virtual New York
A gamer with an early copy of Grand Theft Auto IV, the videogame set in a hyper-realistic version of New York City, has already tried out the one new feature we were most intrigued by. Niko Bellic, the hot Serbian immigrant at the center of Rockstar's videogame, can now stumble around intoxicated, and make drunken booty calls. View a clip by clicking the thumb; the longer gameplay is at Gametrailers.com. And here, if you missed them, are screenshots of Liberty City, the alternate New York City in which the fifth borough is not Staten Island but an industrial wasteland loosely based on New Jersey.

Keeping Up with Tionna Smalls
An adorable little blonde person ventured out to the East New York home of former Gawker advice columnist Tionna Smalls to ask her what she thinks about Internet fame. "It's all a lot of fun of games in the beginning." But. "If people think you're getting more burns off their site than they are, they'll get rid of you. It's jealousy." More »

LA To NYC In Four Minutes
Michel and Oliver Gondry created a time-lapse video of a cross-country road trip, from Los Angeles to New York City, for French pop star Laquer. The entire journey is compressed to four minutes. Someone should film the reverse trip: from Manhattan socialite to trashy Hollywood reality star in four short years. More »

Crazy Socialite Brings Broadway Divorce Battle to Youtube
Socialite/playwright Trisha Walsh-Smith is the soon-to-be ex-wife of Philip Smith, president of the Schubert Organization—which means he's super rich because Schubert owns all those theaters and produces all those fabulous Broadway plays. But the silly blonde went ahead and signed a pre-nup with the old man, who's 25 years her senior, and now she's all in a fuss. In some kind of whacky bid for leverage, Walsh-Smith is hitting YouTube to air her fears that the old man and his daughters are out to destroy her—trying to kick her out of her swank Miami pad, stealing her $500k annual pension in the event of Smith's demise, and leaving her with all sorts of dirty sex paraphernalia that Smith certainly never used on her.

Spy Footage Of Murdoch's Tirade
For a spoof, this video of the Australian media mogul in full tantrum is incredibly slick. Rupert Murdoch, enraged by a tabloid parody of his Wall Street Journal, demands News Corporation executives have every copy burnt. In the best line, the News Corp boss thinks to bring in Roger Ailes, his lieutentant at Fox News. "We need to get Roger on this. He's a sadistic shit. He'll take care of it." But here's the mystery: who would go to the trouble of creating a video that will go viral in the media towers of Sixth Avenue, and no further? More »

MILF Island
On last night's season premiere of Tina Fey's brilliant 30 Rock, Alec Baldwin's Jack is riding high on the huge success of a new reality show. MILF Island's conceit: "20 MILFs; 50 eighth-grade boys; no rules." The idea, which Baldwin's GE executive had floated in an earlier episode, is so preposterous, so outrageous, that I thought for a second that it was a real show. In this late phase of reality television, in which VH1 picks up a bisexual dating game with a Myspace star, the more baroque the premise, the more plausible it appears. After the jump, the full episode from 30 Rock. More »
