			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Music keeps you going no matter what you are doing and where you are standing. While music can be a welcome distraction when not in the greatest of moods, it can also be an unnecessary source of support. Many of you use music for the former reason. But when you are working, do you really ask yourself what kind of music you want to listen to? Bad or inefficient work can be detrimental to your progress in your field. In such a case, why would you want to listen to music that can spoil things even more? On the other hand, there are people who can work effectively when good music rings in their ears. So, it boils down to what music you wish to listen while working and what kind of music you will need to avoid at such a time. Here listed below are 5 songs that one can avoid listening while working.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="420" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eIFKdCdQwbU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eIFKdCdQwbU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong> Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker”</strong> is said to be some of the loudest music ever to have been made. Though being a cult hit in the late 70’s, this music has decibel levels of 130. Such loud decibels can only be an awful distraction at work. No matter how soft it is being played, loud music has its toll on people. You will find yourself in discomfort and hardly in sync with your work. The music could be so loud that your mind is completely lost in the surroundings.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="350" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7HxZKa4NwGo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7HxZKa4NwGo&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong>“The River” by Bruce Springsteen</strong> talks about premature pregnancy, a marriage and a sad harmonica that crushes the dreams of a young married couple.  This kind of music is sure to affect the psychological side of you. You might be having problems at home and so decide to work as a welcome relief, but this song could get the better of you any day. It has lines that are very disturbing no matter how happy your life is heading. At work, it is definitely not going to help you. Your work might be already taxing as most work is and this particular song can only spoil the party.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="420" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B3YrOlv9Djc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B3YrOlv9Djc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong>“My Immortal” by Evanescence</strong> is another song that has lyrics to bog you down. Though it could be one of your favorites, you should still be prepared every time before you listen to it. A working environment has no place for such a song. You could easily be programmed or affected by its lyrics. If you have had a recent break-up, the ideas that you receive from the song will turn into beliefs that may impact your capacity to recover from the break-up. While most enter work shedding aside all personal matter, this song has everything in it to remind you of it. Clearly, this is a song to avoid while working.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="420" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-yPqA3a-f3c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-yPqA3a-f3c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong>“Not Dark Yet” by Bob Dylan</strong>. One of the facts of life is that almost whatever you hear or see, it programs your mind.  You will see most people deny this fact. They go on to work or recess thinking music is only a mere sound to the ears. It is only when you sit idle and allow your mind to concentrate on a particular thing, that you realize its effect on you. This song, when played in the background, can have such an effect. Lines like “Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain, behind every beautiful thing there’s been some kind of pain” are definitely disturbing. You might not realize it is affecting you until you look at the productivity of your work.<br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="580" height="420" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rg-yYi8saZY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="580" height="420" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rg-yYi8saZY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;color2=0xcd311b" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong>“Something in the way”</strong> by Nirvana. The starting of the song itself will have you all tied up. At a work place or wherever it is you are working, this song is sure to spoil the fun. It is rated as one of the most depressing songs ever. Any good music or your favorite albums can keep you active at work but it is not the same with your favorite depressing albums. Maybe you would enjoy the same song when you are alone at night sipping beer. It is just not conducive for work. Be it fixing pipes and tubes or working on an equation, you will find yourself short of the work to be completed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you think that the successful pop stars should really go for multitasking? Well, I don’t think so! There are loads of examples of such pop stars having really impressive and successful music career had to face an extreme downfall while attempted working in movies. It is quite obvious that a person can not have equal proficiency in every field, thus, when these pop singers want to utilize their already gained fame and glam to straightly enter into movies, the results are failures in most of the cases. Very few ones are successfully able to maintain the balance between two.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The list of such <strong>5 top</strong> <strong>music celebrities who failed attempting multitasking</strong> is enlisted below.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Britney Spears</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/britney-spears-crossroads.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-325" title="britney-spears-crossroads" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/britney-spears-crossroads.jpg" alt="britney spears crossroads Top 5 Pop Stars who should have never thought of Multi Tasking" width="580" height="387" /></a></strong>Well, who in this earth don’t like to swing with her fantastic music! She has been maintaining a magnificent music career for years; however, her move towards the big screen was not a wise decision. Britney’s debut film Crossroads was nominated as the worst film in the year 2002 by the UK’s Naftas Awards.  Not only this, but she has also managed her worst actor and worst on screen couple nomination with Anson Mount.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Madonna:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Madonna-Shanghai-Surprise-436676.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-327" title="Madonna-Shanghai-Surprise-436676" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Madonna-Shanghai-Surprise-436676.jpg" alt="Madonna Shanghai Surprise 436676 Top 5 Pop Stars who should have never thought of Multi Tasking" width="580" height="747" /></a></strong>While talking about top pop stars, who shouldn’t have tried multitasking, how can you forget Madonna’s name. She did around 20 films, out of which 15 are big flops. Whether it is the “Shanghai Surprise”, “Bloodhounds of Broadway” or “Vision Quest”, they all had got really bad ratings at the box offices.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Jessica Simpson:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Private-Valentine.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-329" title="Private-Valentine" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Private-Valentine.jpg" alt="Private Valentine Top 5 Pop Stars who should have never thought of Multi Tasking" width="580" height="855" /></a></strong>Another name who attempted the same mistake is of Jessica Simpson. She has gone through a progressive deterioration in her film career. Her first movie “Daisy Duke” has done quite well at the box office. The reviews of her next film “Employee of the Month” were extremely poor followed by subsequent series of flops, which drowned her movie career to nowhere. The film “Private Valentine” was directly released to DVDs, thus, the ultimate fall.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Justin Timberlake:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Edison-Force.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-326" title="Edison-Force" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Edison-Force.jpg" alt="Edison Force Top 5 Pop Stars who should have never thought of Multi Tasking" width="580" height="402" /></a></strong>Justin Timberlake has undoubtedly burnt the charts with his awesome music albums. He is one of the most popular pop singers known till date. However, if you compare his music success with his movie career, you will find a huge gap between the two. He is not as successful in movies as he is as a pop star. His film “Edison Force”, in spite of its huge and popular star cast was quite unable to make a mark in the audience chart and could not attract crowd towards it.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mariah Carey:</strong></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MariahCarey_Glitter.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-328" title="MariahCarey_Glitter" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/MariahCarey_Glitter.jpg" alt="MariahCarey Glitter Top 5 Pop Stars who should have never thought of Multi Tasking" width="580" height="580" /></a></strong>Mariah Carey is one of the most successful pop sensations in today’s era. Her music albums are really adorable and liked by several people. However, her choice of acting in movie was not at al good. She had confronted a terrible breakdown due to the mental stress after her movie “Glitter” came out to be a disaster movie and has been harshly criticized as the worst movie of the decade.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thus, it is very true that when someone tries to become the jack of all trades, he is more likely to fail. These pop stars should concentrate in the field in which they can excel with their real talents and must not try multitasking at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hollywood movies have entertained us for almost a century now and there is still no stopping to this blooming industry that earns a lot of money internationally. Today, movies are more than entertainment because they not only provide us two hours of happiness but also help us think beyond our imagination and various art forms. Innovative scripts and stories, visual effects, technically strong production helps in making a movie a masterpiece. However, humans are bound to make errors and sometimes we notice them in movies as well. Normally, these errors are noticed and removed, but still there are some blunders that missed the eye of the director. Here are 10 movie blunders that you might have not noticed yet, but you can certainly spot them if you see these movies again.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1-enemyofthestate.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-282" title="1-enemyofthestate" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/1-enemyofthestate.jpg" alt="1 enemyofthestate 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="639" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Will Smith is one of the      finest actors in Hollywood and there is no doubt about it, so let’s take a      look at a blunder in his fast action political thriller, “Enemy of the      State”. This movie has some really fast action that would keep you on the      edge of your seat but there are many goofs in the movie that go unnoticed.      In one of the action scenes we see that Zavits is trying to flee on a      bicycle from National Security agents and in an attempt to do so he jumps      across the fence on the other side of the road but he is hit by a fire      truck. If you take a look at that scene again you will see that Zavits      already clears the fence safely and fire truck is at a safe distance and      the next scene that follows shows Zavits hit by a fire truck.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2-Flightplan.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-283" title="2-Flightplan" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/2-Flightplan.jpg" alt="2 Flightplan 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="768" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another good thriller that      received a lot of appreciation was Flightplan that had Jodie Foster in one      of her best roles till date. The movie is entirely shot inside an      aircraft, at least that is what we see in the movie, but there are still      some mistakes that are made in the movie and that we missed out as well.      Just before Jodie Foster is about to enter the aircraft with her daughter      in the beginning of the movie she tells that the aircraft has 4 engines      but later on when she enters the cockpit we see only 2 engine instruments.      Quite strange, isn’t it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3-FinalDestination.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-284" title="3-FinalDestination" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/3-FinalDestination.jpg" alt="3 FinalDestination 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Final Destination is      considered as one of the best supernatural horror movies which created a      new trend of movies where college teenager became the victims of death.      The very first Final Destination movie which was released in the year 2000      had a classic action scene where a BC Rail train smashes Carter’s car.      Well, nothing wrong in that but as per the movie the story happens in New      York while the BC Rail runs only in Canada.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4-pocalypto.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-285" title="4-pocalypto" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/4-pocalypto.jpg" alt="4 pocalypto 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="742" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mel Gibson is known for      making sensible movies that not only are technically good but they have a      strong script to backup their project. Apocalypto which was released in      2006 took us back into Mayan age but during one scene where Jaguar Paw is      being hunt by Mayan. We see that Jaguar Paw hides in the tree which the      camera is focused on the torch lights burning appearing in the distance.      At that time a close up of Jaguar Paw reveals that his labret (lip      piercing) is missing, but appears in the next scene immediately.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/5-a-serious-man-poster.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-286" title="5-a-serious-man-poster" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/5-a-serious-man-poster.jpg" alt="5 a serious man poster 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="771" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Serious Man might have      received a lot of appreciation at the Golden Globes and at various other      award ceremonies but in one of the scenes we see that Larry Gopnik      receives a mail that has address with a zip code 55401. As per the movie,      Larry Gopnik teaches at a suburban college but the zip code 55401 is in      downtown Minneapolis.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6-mighty_heart_ver2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-287" title="6-mighty_heart_ver2" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/6-mighty_heart_ver2.jpg" alt="6 mighty heart ver2 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="742" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A Mighty Heart was a hard      hitting drama based on a true story that took the world by storm. However,      there are many scenes in the movie where you see Fiat taxis and trucks with      Indian number plates which shows that the movie was shot in Pune and      Mumbai and not in Karachi.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7-babel.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-288" title="7-babel" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/7-babel.jpg" alt="7 babel 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="745" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you remember the movie      called Babel? Of course, it had superb editing and direction but there is      a scene where after the movie, Amelia and her nephew along with Jones      children try to enter USA using Tecate border where they get lost in the      desert. However, in reality Tecate border is a mountainous region and      there is no desert. The shot shown in the movie is Arizona border      crossing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8-bad_boys_two.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-289" title="8-bad_boys_two" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/8-bad_boys_two.jpg" alt="8 bad boys two 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="732" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coming back to Will Smith      again this time for Bad Boy 2, where he and Martin Lawrence are the bad      boys who bust the drug mafia. In one of the scenes, we see that they find      money in the coffin but look again this time, the money clearly has a      print on it saying – For Motion Picture Use Only.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9-madagascar-escape-2-africa.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-290" title="reply_card [Converted]" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/9-madagascar-escape-2-africa.jpg" alt="reply_card [Converted]" width="500" height="704" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We all know the animation      movies are imaginary but still there are many animation movies where      blunders happened. Madagascar which was released in 2005 was an instant      hit with the audience, but Madagascar: Escape to Africa shows Alex’s paw      having a birthmark, than why wasn’t it shown in the earlier installment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10-wall-e-poster3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-291" title="10-wall-e-poster3" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/10-wall-e-poster3.jpg" alt="10 wall e poster3 10 Movie Blunders Which No One Noticed" width="500" height="741" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In another Academy award      winning animation movie named Wall-E we see that when the scout ship      storms out of the earth’s atmosphere millions of smaller satellites are      just standing still. However, in reality satellites need to keep on      hovering because if they stand still they will be pulled into Earth by its      gravitational force.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Jessica Alba is becoming a Focker.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The actress is in negotiations to join the Ben Stiller-Robert DeNiro comedy &#8220;Little Fockers.&#8221; She&#8217;d play the role of an attractive pharmaceutical rep whose looks wreak havoc on male characters in the story.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Paul Weitz is directing the third installment in the Universal and Tribeca Productions franchise. Universal is banking heavily on &#8220;Fockers,&#8221; one of the studio&#8217;s few go-to franchises and an important one given its shaky summer. Production is set to begin in the next few months, with a 2010 release date more than likely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The picture is expect to pick up where 2004&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Fockers&#8221; left off, with Stiller&#8217;s Gaylord Focker and Teri Polo&#8217;s Pamela Byrnes having a child (or children &#8212; reports abound that they could be having twins). John Hamburg penned the latest version of the script.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even if Alba&#8217;s role isn&#8217;t huge &#8212; and with so many other big actors (Stiller, DeNiro, Wilson) already set, it may not be &#8212; the move is a shrewd bit of casting for Universal. The franchise needs to rope in young men, and with the movie&#8217;s promise of babies and family &#8212; not always said demo&#8217;s main interest &#8212; it could use a Maxim-esque presence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The WME-repped Alba, incidentally, is set to star in the Robert Rodriguez thriller &#8220;Machete&#8221; for Sony as well as Garry Marshall&#8217;s romantic comedy &#8220;Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221; for New Line. Both are also movies that could &#8212; and need to &#8212; bring in the boys. That&#8217;s what she does. The focker.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="intelliTxt"><span id="intelliTxt">The news that Disney exec Dick Cook was leaving the company was important to the people who work in the studio itself, but the part that got movie fans concerned was Johnny Depp&#8217;s suggestion that Cook&#8217;s absence might make him less enthusiastic to come back for a fourth <em>Pirates of the Caribbean</em>.</p>
<p>Adding to the comments Depp made to the <em>L.A. Times</em>, our regular tipster is saying that even if he makes the fourth film, he definitely won&#8217;t be back for a fifth or sixth. Given that the <em>Pirates</em> franchise was the only live-action property making any money for the studio, they could reach deep in their pockets and keep Depp on for #4, but they&#8217;re also preparing to replace Captain Jack with a entirely new character if he refuses a fifth and sixth film.</p>
<p>Also: Johnny Depp is well aware the second two movies sucked. That didn&#8217;t stop him from signing on for a fourth film, of course, but based on his comments last week it seems that his faith in Dick Cook was a lot of what was keeping him on board.</p>
<p>What this seems to mean for moviegoers is that there will be a lot of behind-the-scenes negotiations to keep Depp happy for <em>Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strange Tides</em>, but there probably isn&#8217;t any amount of money that will convince him to stick around after that. Sounds similar to what Tobey Maguire is planning for <em>Spider-Man 4</em>, and probably the only appropriate thing for a guy as busy as Depp to do. But if they decide to replace Jack Sparrow for the fifth and sixth film, I predict they&#8217;d have something resembling a fan mutiny on their hands. </span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Rumblings at the highest instances of the Mouse House this Friday might end up costing it one of it&#8217;s current biggest cash cows, at least if someone over there doesn&#8217;t call Johnny Depp right away.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Disney announced during the day that long-time Walt Disney Studios chairman Dick Cook was stepping down effective immediately after 38 years with the organization, a move reportedly prompted by a rough financial year. Although Cook released a statement through the studio where he seems to imply he left on his own, Disney CEO Bob Iger had publicly expressed his disappointments in Cook and the studios&#8217; recent performances back in May during a conference call with media representatives. Thus many interpret the latest reversal as a lay off.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Whatever the reason for his departure, fact remains that Cook was highly popular and appreciated among the industry, something actor Johnny Depp bitterly reminded the organization when talking to the folks of the Los Angeles Times, upon learning the news from Cook himself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<span style="color: #800000;">He&#8217;s instantly trustworthy. And you generally don&#8217;t meet people at the  studios you trust. He&#8217;s a rare beast,</span>&#8221; Depp said, remembering that all but Cook were disapproving of his plan to portray Jack Sparrow in a very un-Disney manner.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cook was also the one who got Depp on board a fourth Pirates movie, though the actor apparently only has a &#8220;potential deal&#8221; in place pending script approval, and has yet signed no dotted line. But now&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<span style="color: #800000;">There&#8217;s a fissure, a crack in my enthusiasm at the momen</span>t,&#8221; Depp expressed. &#8220;<span style="color: #800000;">It  was all born in that office.&#8221;<span style="color: #000000;"> As far as I can tell Depp isn&#8217;t know as a &#8220;prick</span></span><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;</span> among his peers, but the guy doesn&#8217;t exactly need Pirates as much as the other way around so what&#8217;s to stop him from walking out? Have we thus seen the last of Jack Sparrow?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Extra Tidbit:</strong> <em>And where does that leave Lone Ranger? In probably no better shape&#8230;</em></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor    because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences,    according to its producer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Creation</em>, starring Paul Bettany, details Darwin&#8217;s &#8220;struggle    between faith and reason&#8221; as he wrote <em>On The Origin of Species</em>.    It depicts him as a man who loses faith in God following the death of his    beloved 10-year-old daughter, Annie.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and has its British    premiere on Sunday. It has been sold in almost every territory around the    world, from Australia to Scandinavia.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove    hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in    February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Movieguide.org, an influential site which reviews films from a Christian    perspective, described Darwin as the father of eugenics and denounced him as &#8220;a    racist, a bigot and an 1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder&#8221;.    His &#8220;half-baked theory&#8221; directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led    to &#8220;atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering&#8221;,    the site stated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The film has sparked fierce debate on US Christian websites, with a typical    comment dismissing evolution as &#8220;a silly theory with a serious lack of    evidence to support it despite over a century of trying&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Jeremy Thomas, the Oscar-winning producer of <em>Creation</em>, said he was    astonished that such attitudes exist 150 years after <em>On The Origin of    Species</em> was published.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re up against. In 2009. It&#8217;s amazing,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;The film has no distributor in America. It has got a deal everywhere    else in the world but in the US, and it&#8217;s because of what the film is about.    People have been saying this is the best film they&#8217;ve seen all year, yet    nobody in the US has picked it up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;It is unbelievable to us that this is still a really hot potato in    America. There&#8217;s still a great belief that He made the world in six days.    It&#8217;s quite difficult for we in the UK to imagine religion in America. We    live in a country which is no longer so religious. But in the US, outside of    New York and LA, religion rules.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Charles Darwin is, I suppose, the hero of the film. But we tried to make    the film in a very even-handed way. Darwin wasn&#8217;t saying &#8216;kill all    religion&#8217;, he never said such a thing, but he is a totem for people.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Creation</em> was developed by BBC Films and the UK Film Council, and stars    Bettany&#8217;s real-life wife Jennifer Connelly as Darwin&#8217;s deeply religious    wife, Emma. It is based on the book, <em>Annie&#8217;s Box</em>, by Darwin&#8217;s    great-great-grandson, Randal Keynes, and portrays the naturalist as a family    man tormented by the death in 1851 of Annie, his favourite child. She is    played in the film by 10-year-old newcomer Martha West, the daughter of <em>The    Wire</em> star Dominic West.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Early reviews have raved about the film. <em>The Hollywood Reporter </em>said: &#8220;It    would be a great shame if those with religious convictions spurned the film    out of hand as they will find it even-handed and wise.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mr Thomas, whose previous films include <em>The Last Emperor</em> and <em>Merry    Christmas Mr Lawrence</em>, said he hoped the reviews would help to secure a    distributor. In the UK, special screenings have been set up for Christian    groups.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">OK, that was weird. A serious wave of rare nostalgia just hit when I watched the first new <em><strong>Beavis and Butthead</strong></em> animation in, well, not really all that long. Looking around I see that <strong>Mike Judge</strong>’s animated duo have popped up on MTV now and again for the Music Video Awards and stuff like a Jackass marathon. But if you’re like me and tend to avoid most of what airs on MTV in the last decade this might be like a little trip down memory lane. Check out Beavis and Butthead shilling for <em><strong>Extract</strong></em> after the jump.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mike Judge has called Beavis and Butthead his favorite creations, and that affection shows through in this clip. How could two morons be so endearing? (By not being quite as one-sidedly moronic as they first appear, as with so many Judge characters.) The idea here is that the pair are setting up a clip from <em>Extract</em>, in which Jason Bateman and wife Kristen Wiig have a tense little conversation about the quality of their new pool cleaner’s work.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">That being the case, <strong>this is a spoilery clip</strong>, but only if you haven’t been watching and reading the other clips and interviews that have shown up to promote the film. If you’ve caught all that then there will be no real surprises. You’ll be able to safely enjoy the amazement expressed by Beavis at the fact that a movie featuring a chick with big boobs, a dude getting paid to have sex and some other stuff costs just the same as every other movie.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For what it’s worth, I liked <em>Extract</em> quite a bit, too. Perhaps my expectations had been lowered a bit (I’d heard some middling reactions over the last couple weeks) but I thought it was consistently funny and smart. Look for a review (either from me or Hunter; we both saw it) later in the week.</p>

<li> &#8220;Toy Story 2&#8243;<strong>:</strong> Binford Tools: When Buzz and Woody get taken back to Sid’s house for certain death, the toolbox that holds all of Sid’s tools has the name Binford Tools stamped on it. This is a reference to Tim Allen, who does the voice of Buzz, and his TV show &#8220;Home Improvement,&#8221; which was sponsored by Binford Tools.</li>
<li> &#8220;Shrek&#8221;<strong>:</strong> That&#8217;ll Do Donkey: A donkey is just as good as a pig in this reference to the movie &#8220;Babe.&#8221; During the part when donkey goes through the bridge, Shrek walks up to donkey and says, “That’ll do Donkey, that’ll do.” The farmer at the end of &#8220;Babe&#8221; says the same thing.</li>
<li>&#8220;<a>2010</a>&#8220;<strong>:</strong> Using the Zero-Gravity Toilet: In the movie &#8220;2010,&#8221; the movie crew and director honored the first movie by creating references to using a zero-gravity toilet. All the technical-looking writing on the wall in &#8220;2010&#8243; that looks is actually the same instructions for using a zero-gravity toilet. If you watch the movie, you will see them everywhere.</li>
<li> &#8220;Nacho Libre&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Legend of Francois: Check out the deleted scenes. Click the Left button, and an eagle will appear on Nacho Libre&#8217;s chest. This will open a special behind-the- scenes story.</li>
<li> &#8220;Fight Club&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Hidden Message at Start: Look at the Attention warning followed by the signature FBI warning to read a special message from the main character of the movie.</li>
<li> &#8220;The Ring&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Deadly Tape: If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the main menu screen, the cursor will disappear. Hit Select, and it will start showing the infamous videotape from beginning to end, uncut.</li>
<li> &#8220;Charlie and the Chocolate Factory&#8221;<strong>:</strong> &#8220;Ed Wood&#8221; Reference: When Wonka and the others are in the elevator touring rooms, they pass a room with a bunch of pink sheep. Wonka says &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to talk about it.&#8221; The statement is a reference to &#8220;Ed Wood,&#8221; another Tim Burton film in which Johnny Depp starred as a cross-dresser with a penchant for pink angora — material made from sheep — sweaters.</li>
<li> &#8220;Eyes Wide Shut&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Masked Ball Song — What&#8217;s Behind?: During the opening of the masked ball, an odd, indecipherable song called &#8220;Masked Ball,&#8221; by Jocelyn Pook, plays. Play the piece in reverse, and you’ll hear an Eastern European prayer song.</li>
<li> &#8220;Shaun of the Dead&#8221;<strong>: </strong>&#8220;A Clockwork Orange Tribute: The choreographed pool-cue beating of the zombie in the Winchester is an homage to the assault on the homeless man in &#8220;A Clockwork Orange.&#8221;</li>
<li> &#8220;The Little Mermaid&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Nasty Cover: This well-known egg regards the insertion of male anatomy on the movie&#8217;s cover.</li>
<li> &#8220;X-Men&#8221;<strong>:</strong> David Hayter: David Hayter, who wrote the film&#8217;s screenplay, appears toward the end as a police officer who gets killed by one of Magneto&#8217;s goons.</li>
<li> &#8220;Three Amigos&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Reference to Previous Incarnation: This egg is yet another reference to Steve Martin’s character in &#8220;The Man with Two Brains.&#8221; Each amigo must say a chant to summon the invisible swordsman. At the end of Steve Martin&#8217;s chant, he shouts, &#8220;Hfuhruhurr&#8221;, the name of his character in the other movie</li>
<li> &#8220;Blow&#8221;<strong>:</strong> The &#8220;Real&#8221; Kristina Jung Is in the Movie: George Jung&#8217;s real daughter, Kristina, is in the movie as a bank clerk.</li>
<li> &#8220;RoboCop&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Ed Solomon: A series of hexadecimal numbers appear at the bottom of the screen when the film is first turned on. If you convert the numbers into ASCII, they spell “Ed Solomon,&#8221; one of the film’s producers.</li>
<li> &#8220;Godzilla&#8221;<strong>:</strong> Armin Tamzarian the Taxi Driver: In the scene where Matthew Broderick is being chased by Godzilla in a taxi, he throws a taxi-driver identification plate out of the cab to alert the big Army guy.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">LOS ANGELES – Quentin Tarantino isn&#8217;t saying why he spelled the title of his World War II adventure, &#8220;Inglourious Basterds,&#8221; the way he did.</p>
<p>The writer-director is enjoying having a little fun with his audience, similar to the way he credited himself and Uma Thurman, with whom he co-wrote the &#8220;Kill Bill&#8221; movies, by their initials Q and U.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m never going to explain that,&#8221; Tarantino said during a news conference in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where &#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221; premiered. &#8220;When you do an artistic flourish like that, to describe it, to explain it, would just &#8230; invalidate the whole stroke in the first place.</p>
<p>&#8220;(Artist Jean-Michel) Basquiat takes the letter L from a hotel room door and sticks it in his painting,&#8221; he added. &#8220;If he describes why he did it, he might as well not have done it at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tarantino&#8217;s film about Jewish-American soldiers who hunt down and scalp Nazis, which opened this past weekend atop the box office with an estimated $37.6 million, is one of several in recent memory with a name that&#8217;s tripped people up, either because of its spelling or because it contains a potentially offensive word.</p>
<p>The Weinstein Co., which is distributing it in the United States, says it hasn&#8217;t heard of any censorship of the title — which has nothing to do with a 1978 Italian action picture called (and correctly spelled) &#8220;The Inglorious Bastards.&#8221;</p>
<p>But when &#8220;Zack and Miri Make a Porno&#8221; came out last fall, it prompted protests about the title across the country. Commercials during Los Angeles Dodgers games were eventually dropped at the team&#8217;s request, and the city of Philadelphia rejected posters for its bus stops. In some instances, the Kevin Smith comedy about best friends who make an X-rated movie to pay the bills was just called &#8220;Zack and Miri.&#8221;</p>
<p>Then there was the content of the posters, which initially were considered too risque because they suggested a specific sexual act. The Weinstein Co., which also released this movie, later changed them to feature stick figures representing its stars, some of which read: &#8220;Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks made a movie so outrageous that we can&#8217;t even tell you the title.&#8221;</p>
<p>The need to tinker with a tricky title has also arisen lately on television. DirecTV refers to the Oxygen weight-loss series &#8220;Dance Your Ass Off&#8221; as &#8220;Dance Your A.. Off.&#8221; Similarly, the Showtime documentary series featuring comics Penn Jillette and Teller is listed on the satellite guide as &#8220;Penn &amp; Teller: Bulls&#8230;!&#8221; and it appears in other places as &#8220;Penn &amp; Teller: BS!&#8221;</p>
<p>For all the trouble, having a curse word in the title doesn&#8217;t necessarily create more buzz for a movie, said publicist Alex Klenert. As an executive at ThinkFilm in 2005, Klenert worked on a documentary about the origin and many creative uses of the F-word (which was also the title of the film), and &#8220;Awesome: I F&#8212;&#8211; Shot That,&#8221; in which the Beastie Boys gave cameras to fans who shot footage of a 2004 concert at New York&#8217;s Madison Square Garden.</p>
<p>In both cases, &#8220;for what we had to do with the movie, it created another layer of extra work we had to do to position the film in certain markets, especially regionally,&#8221; Klenert said. &#8220;With the Beastie Boys documentary, they just were not going to use (the F-word) in it. If you put it in theaters across the country, you can&#8217;t have a theater with a child walking in with a poster that says (the F-word) on it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Instead, some posters and many reviews referred to the film as &#8220;Awesome: I &#8230; Shot That!&#8221; or they partially blurred out the expletive. The posters for the documentary about the offending word, meanwhile, featured a cartoon man with his bulging eyes forming some of the letters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ultimately, it creates more trouble than it&#8217;s worth because you have to edit it on a certain level,&#8221; Klenert said.</p>
<p>He added that he saw a lot more attention and excitement for 2005&#8217;s &#8220;The Aristocrats,&#8221; a documentary about a famously profane joke with an ironically genteel punch line.</p>
<p>&#8220;We had sold-out theaters,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That was a better example of a film that created buzz. It didn&#8217;t necessarily have it in the title but it was all about the subject matter and how dirty the swear words were.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for Tarantino&#8217;s unusual spelling, &#8220;that&#8217;s just the way he is,&#8221; says Klenert. &#8220;He has such a unique vision, people are more accepting of it because it&#8217;s him.&#8221;</p>
<p>The tricky phrasing hasn&#8217;t seemed to trouble many people on Twitter, where &#8220;Inglourious Basterds&#8221; was a top trending topic on opening day Friday. Although, as one user joked: &#8220;Tarantino created &#8216;Inglourious Basterds&#8217; simply to watch Twitter go into fits about its spelling.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With &#8220;G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra&#8221; heading to theaters, everyone&#8217;s complaining about the ridiculous accelerator suits, terrible dialogue, and forced comic relief. Well, guess what? None of these things are new to &#8220;G.I. Joe.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite its militaristic bent, the franchise has seen its fair share of the absurd and outright silly over the years. And we&#8217;re not just talking about the Joes&#8217; ability to dodge lasers and parachute unscathed from downed Skystrikers. No, wackiness cropped up in the &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221; cartoon, comic book, and toy line in many forms. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the craziest moments in &#8220;Real American Hero&#8221; history.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>10. The Dreadnoks Perform &#8220;Cold Slither,&#8221; (1985) <a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-159" title="imgad" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fhp0QSuQ0No&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fhp0QSuQ0No&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">The episode &#8220;Cold Slither&#8221; finds Cobra at an all-time low, forced to steal money from a pint-sized mobster in order to turn the Dreadnoks into a fake heavy metal band and brainwash the masses through song. Destro designs a &#8220;program that creates rock music,&#8221; inserting subliminal messages into the impressionable minds of teens and weak-willed hippies Footloose, Shipwreck, and Breaker. (Wait a minute. A program that creates popular music. Destro invented Auto-Tune!)</p>
<p>Unfortunately the message wasn&#8217;t all that subliminal (&#8221;We&#8217;re Cold Slither/You&#8217;ll be joining us soon!&#8221;), and the Dreadnoks are eventually brought down by the female Joe team members posing as skanky Cold Slither groupies. (But, hey, at least they sold out a giant amphitheater, so Cold Slither had a better career than Britny Fox.) Of course, the show must go on, leading the Joes to take the stage as the &#8220;Average Joe Band&#8221; and perform their show&#8217;s theme song (to which they somehow know the music and lyrics) to the delight of the crowd. For once Rock &#8216;n Roll got to live up to his codename.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9. Snake Eyes Cross-Dresses, &#8220;Chaos in the Sea of Lost Souls,&#8221; (1985) </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1-predacon_x.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-144 aligncenter" title="1-predacon_x" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1-predacon_x.jpg" alt="1 predacon x The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="500" height="280" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">At some point in the Season One miniseries &#8220;The Pyramid of Darkness,&#8221; Snake Eyes and Jack Nicholson stand-in Shipwreck get mixed up with a lounge singer named Satin who performs the breathtaking ditty &#8220;The Cobra that Got Away.&#8221; (She also inspires Snake Eyes to bust out some hot breakdancing moves.) While escaping with Satin, Snakes and Shipwreck (and pets Polly and Timber) don some hip threads in order to pose as band members on their way to a gig at Cobra Temple. (Who knew Cobra Commander had a thing for wannabe Cyndi Lauper types?) None of which explains why Snake Eyes felt the need to dress like Boy George. It&#8217;s always the quiet ones.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. Safe Swimming with Deep Six, PSA, (1985) </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N3OEhoaKqVk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N3OEhoaKqVk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Even before Fensler Films introduced the world to the term &#8220;pork chop sandwiches,&#8221; the 30-second &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221; public service announcements were some of the most unintentionally hilarious animation ever made. Honestly, any of the wonderful &#8220;&#8230;and knowing is half the battle!&#8221; spots could work here, but Deep Six popping up out of nowhere to tell kids not to swim during a thunderstorm has to be one of the weirdest. (And creepiest.) Why is a member of an elite military squad hanging out underwater waiting to impart advice to children? And why is he (and every other Joe for that matter) so quick to zing these kids with a quick comeback? The other half of the battle should have been keeping these creepy middle-aged guys away from kids.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong><strong><br />
7. The Joes Kill Bumblebee, &#8220;G.I. Joe and the Transformers,&#8221; (1987) </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/7-G.I.-Joe-Transformers.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-150" title="7-G.I.-Joe-Transformers" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/7-G.I.-Joe-Transformers.jpg" alt="7 G.I. Joe Transformers The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="500" height="383" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">In their first four color meet-up, the G.I. Joe team do what any self-respecting military squad would when faced with a giant robot from outer space&#8211;blow it to smithereens. In typical comic book crossover fashion, the Joes mistake poor Bumblebee for a threat, shooting first and looking for his Autobot insignia later. But with the help of Autobot medic Ratchet, the Joes rebuild Bumblebee as &#8220;Goldbug,&#8221; leading to utter confusion when Bumblebee turned up in &#8220;Transformers&#8221; the next month with a new name and upgraded look.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
6. Cobra&#8217;s Ruler Is a 40,000 Year Old Snake Man, &#8220;G.I. Joe: The Movie&#8221; (1987) </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong> </strong><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6-G.I-joe-Movie.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-149" title="6-G.I-joe-Movie" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/6-G.I-joe-Movie.jpg" alt="6 G.I joe Movie The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="500" height="252" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">First of all, &#8220;G.I. Joe: The Movie&#8221; contains easily the greatest three minutes and eight seconds of G.I. Joe animation ever produced. Go watch it now. Back? Didn&#8217;t that get you psyched for the movie? Well, get ready to temper your enthusiasm, because it&#8217;s rough going from that point on. Beachhead trains some lame new recruits (including basketball-obsessed Big Lob), Duke somehow survives getting stabbed in the chest with one of Serpentor&#8217;s serpents, and Lt. Falcon openly sexually harasses new ninja Jinx in the motor pool.</p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s the slithering deus ex machina that is Cobra-La, a secret society of snake people that&#8217;s been manipulating Cobra&#8217;s every bumbling move the entire time. Fans were rightly confused when it was revealed that Cobra&#8217;s leader was in fact not Cobra Commander or Serpentor, but Golobulus, a stuffy snake man who sounded suspiciously like The Penguin (Burgess Meredith supplied the voice). Of course, Golobulus was basically never heard from again after the movie, making him the &#8220;Poochie&#8221; of the &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221;-verse.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Major Bludd Gets Urinated On By a Dog, &#8220;Chunnel&#8221; (1991) </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I. Joe History" width="129" height="30" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5-Chunnel.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-148" title="5-Chunnel" src="http://www.whatsupmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/5-Chunnel.jpg" alt="5 Chunnel The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I.

<div style="text-align: justify;">The cartoon took a serious downturn in the early &#8217;90s, with once cool characters like Major Bludd and Cobra Commander reduced to cheap comedic relief. &#8220;Chunnel&#8221; finds Cobra Commander kidnapping the Queen of England for some reason, which leads her royal pooch to relieve itself on Major Bludd&#8217;s boot. What, was Michael Bay watching &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221; back in the &#8217;90s? That would explain poor Ironhide&#8217;s fate in &#8220;Transformers.&#8221;</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">After 109 issues, &#8220;G.I. Joe&#8221; comic writer Larry Hama decided to shake things up by actually making those Cobra bullets stick for a change. But instead of letting the Joes die with dignity on the battlefield, he had it all be a big misunderstanding. While holding several Joes prisoner, Tomax misinterprets Cobra Commander telling him to &#8220;get rid of them&#8221; as an order to commit cold-blooded murder. (What is this, an episode of &#8220;I Love Lucy&#8221;?)</p>
<p>Of course, the brothers are too chicken to go through with it, and recruit the Saw Viper (a new toy that year who oddly resembled the Spider-Man character Paladin) to do their dirty work. Doc, Heavy Metal, Thunder, and Crankcase are all dispatched by the Saw Viper&#8217;s machine gun, while three more Joes perish while escaping in a Cobra vehicle. Sure characters finally died, but in the dumbest way possible. A rare misstep for the writer of arguably the best toy-based comic of all time.</p></div>

3. Flint Gets Slimed By Toxic Waste, &#8220;G.I.

<div style="text-align: justify;">In the early &#8217;90s, G.I. Joe rode the eco-friendly wave just like pretty much every other toyline. (Good thing Captain Planet, Toxic Crusaders and the like put a stop to that whole global warming mess. Oh, wait.) With the Eco-Warriors, the Joes focused their efforts on stopping Cobra&#8217;s dastardly environmental-related schemes, which mostly consisted of blasting toxic waste from vehicles like the (no kidding) Septic Tank. The Eco-Warriors turned up in the cartoon, and poor Larry Hama had to work them into a few issues of the comic. Here a Sludge Viper (really?) zaps Flint (clearly forced to join the unit after the brass caught wind of his relationship with Lady Jaye) and new recruit Clean Sweep with a stream of weapons-grade Plasmatox. El grosso to the max, indeed.</div>

Ice Cream Soldier Debuts, 1993 </strong><strong><a href="http://www.ireel.com/signup?ref=2277" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img title="imgad" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/08/imgad.jpg" alt="imgad The Most Ridiculous Moments In G.I.

<div style="text-align: justify;">Pretty much no one was paying attention to G.I. Joe in 1993, which explains why they could get away with crap like giving a Joe a name that wouldn&#8217;t even past muster in the Rainbow Brite ranks. (The name was inspired by a &#8220;Sgt. Rock&#8221; character who likely got tons of grief from Easy Company.) From his filecard: &#8220;The last thing you would expect from G.I. Joe&#8217;s fiercest flamethrower commando is for him to be called Ice Cream Soldier.&#8221; Yes, that is the last thing we would expect. Even on the spectrum of ridiculous Joes (this is, after all, a line that featured an accountant/falconer named Raptor) the ICS was a new low. At least his mold was put to good use in 2002, when it was reused as the Shock Viper. Turns out he was both lame and a traitor.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">By the end of the first incarnation of Real American Hero, Hasbro was trying anything to keep up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jurassic Park, and other popular toy lines. And unfortunately, that meant the Joes had to <span style="font-style: italic;">go into outer space</span> to fight the alien Lunartix empire. (Apparently, Hasbro was employing &#8220;Mad&#8221; magazine writers in those days.) The ugly, blocky aliens, with names like Carcass and Lobotomaxx, looked like rejects from the Mos Eisley Cantina, and successfully drove the franchise into the ground. (Ironically, the last gasp of the &#8217;70s &#8220;kung-fu grip&#8221; era of G.I. Joe also featured aliens.) Hasbro futilely attempted to save the brand with the Sgt. Fury rip-off &#8220;Sgt. Savage &amp; the Screaming Eagles&#8221; and the highly unfortunate &#8220;G.I. Joe Extreme.&#8221; Hey, it was the &#8217;90s. Everything was &#8220;extreme.&#8221;</p>
