On Oprah yesterday, Oprah gave an extended shout of Roger Ebert’s name as an introduction (I assume) and the film critic revealed his Academy Award predictions and debuted the new Stephen Hawking voice he discussed in his Esquire interview , a set of vocals constructed from old video clips of his actual voice. You can tell it’s his voice, but if there was Real, Pre-Surgery Ebert and Android Ebert in front of me, each trying to convince me the other was the fake, and the Android Ebert had this voice, I’d definitely know which one to shoot.

From the 1983 Shaw Brothers film Seeding of a Ghost , here’s a ladycorpse having sex with a neon figure drawing’s soul. Because it’s Tuesday!

I can’t tell if Leno would be insulted by this or not. With there being absolutely no exaggeration, it’s not so much a parody as a demeaning tribute:

It's almost tough to imagine Kristen Stewart playing anyone other than Bella now, but at least the hair and costumes in The Runaways make it a bit easier. However, Stewarts got none of that to hide behind in this…

Entertainment Tonight, still somehow respected enough by movie studios to be granted exclusives, will be airing new footage from Iron Man 2 tomorrow (or maybe tonight, since this is probably from yesterday?). Here’s a trailer for that, featuring Don Cheadle the Robot shooting things with a giant gun conveniently placed on his shoulder, where it’s most likely to deafen him:

Mom still doesn’t understand why Batman is saying such vulgar things, but since you’re young and in-the-know enough to know this is actually Nicolas Cage as Big Daddy in Kick-Ass , enjoy the new poster and this clip of a man shooting his daughter with a handgun:

Did you guys catch 60 Minutes the last night? That’s OK; I know not everyone is a retiree who likes to fall asleep in his twin bed, drifting off to the sounds of in-depth news coverage. But if you had seen it, you’d know last night contained a profile on James Cameron, in which the director went into detail on the process behind Avatar , his career in general, and his stance on the OJ verdict. It was pretty interesting. Unfortunately, Andy Rooney would negate all of Cameron’s publicity efforts moments later when he went on a five-minute diatribe about how he doesn’t think we should make any more moving picture talkies,* but still, pretty interesting. And now it’s on online:

You should really be listening to the Ricky Gervais podcasts. If you are already, good job. If you’re not… well, fine, but not listening because you “hate things made of sound” because they make you use your “brain eyes” is no longer a valid excuse (usually that would be a valid excuse). Soon, the audio series will be coming to HBO in the form of animation! No more using your brain eyes! You’ll be able to use your eye eyes! Here are a couple previews:

When McG started making Terminator Salvation , he went in wanting, first and foremost, to correct what he believed was the biggest shortcoming he showed in his work on the Charlie’s Angel films: this time, he would see a bare boob. So, the director told Terminator star Moon Bloodgood that rain makes things artistic, and got the actress to take her top off for a few seconds in one rain-drenched shot. The pathetically tame scene was ultimately cut to ensure a PG-13 rating, but of course it’s appearing on the DVD to boost sales to the desperately horny. And now it’s on internet:

Remember how, in The Lion King , Disney kicked open your skull doors and gave your brain a charliehorse right from the start with “Circle of Life” ? Such powerful music! So much reverent African wildlife! Well, the opening to Disney’s The Princess and the Frog is nothing like that:
