Adam Sandler Said He Filmed “Blended” for a Paid Vacation

0

Adam Sandler admits that his new movie “Blended” was an excuse for a Paid Vacation.

Blended, is the new Adam Sandler comedy reuniting Sandler and Drew Barrymore once again and according to recent reviews, the movie has not been quoted as a critical success.

But, Adam Sandler doesn’t care. He told Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, that creating a good movie is not the point. The point is that he was able to get a paid vacation.

Adam Sandler probably feels this way after he read the recent review by the New York Times. Here are a few the critics had to say, you can read the full review here.

  • Because life is short and I have other things to be upset about, I will not dwell on the offensive aspects of”Blended,” the new Adam Sandler comedy: its retrograde gender politics; its delight in the humiliation of children…its quasi-zoological depiction of Africans as servile, dancing, drum-playing simpletons.
  • In my capacity as a film critic, I find myself more bothered by the sheer audience-insulting incompetence of the filmmaking and the writing. Duty compels me to identify Frank Coraci as the director and Ivan Menchell and Clare Sera as the authors of the script.
  • Most of “Blended” has the look and pacing of a three-camera sitcom filmed by a bunch of eighth graders and conceived by their less bright classmates.
  • There are comedians who mine their own insecurities for material. Mr. Sandler, in his recent films, compensates for his by building monuments to his own ego.
  • The tragedy is that Ms. Barrymore, who has brought out the best in Mr. Sandler in their previous collaborations (“The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates”) is here sacrificed on the altar of his showboating narcissism.
  • “Blended” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It will make your children stupid.

After reading the review you can not help but feel bad for Sandler.

When you decide to make a film, do you say ‘I wanna make this film somewhere where I can be on vacation?'” Kimmel asked.

“Yes,” Sandler admitted.

Blended was shot at the safari resort in South Africa and throughout Atlanta.

Your State’s Most Popular Google Search is Most likely Embarrassing

0

Your State’s most popular unique google search is probably super embarrassing.

There is one search term that your state Googles more than any other state in the country and unless you live in Maine or Tennessee, it is most likely extremely embarrassing.

Estately recently created a graphic that compiled all of these unique searches, which range from the akward “Do I have Herpes” in Texas to “Conjugal Visits” in Arizona.

I guess Massachusetts does not have much to worry about since they are too busy Googling “Canadian men”.

Don’t forget about “Butt Implants” in Georgia.

So, the next time you are debating between moving to Los Angeles or Georgia for the next film production, keep in mind a majority of the people are either thinking about “Butt Implants” or “Meat is Murder”.

‘Fast and Furious 7’ Record Breaking $50 Million Insurance Claim

0

When studios are spending millions to produce a movie, part of the movie’s cost goes to insurance. The insurance is used to protect them if anything goes wrong.

That is why certain actors such as Lindsay Lohans are “uninsurable” because insurance companies will not take a risk insuring an actor who frequently causes problems such as shooting delays. For example, a single cancelled day will cost a production company on average $250,000.

Fast and Furious 7 was delayed due to the death of their leading actor, Paul Walker, and as a result, the insurance claim on Paul was a record breaking $50 million dollars. On top of that, the movie budget has increased to $250 million dollars.

…insurance broker Brian Kingman of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. believes Fireman’s Fund will have to pay more than $50 million on a film now estimated to cost $250 million or more. A spokesman for Fireman’s Fund declined comment, but in a 2012 discussion about the challenges of movie-business insurance, Fireman’s Fund entertainment underwriting director Wendy Diaz noted that delays alone can cost as much as $250,000 a day on a big- budget movie, adding up to “millions of dollars.”

A shoot set to wrap in January now is scheduled to end in July, requiring the production to pay stars including Vin Diesel more to keep them longer. Fireman’s Fund is not on the hook for the entire cost of finishing the movie because Universal must pay what it would have cost to complete the project had the accident not occurred. But therein lies the dispute because it is a matter of judgment what producer Neal Moritz and the studio felt was required to finish the film without Walker. [Hollywood Reporter]

But, there are a ton of additional costs, now that Paul Walker’s role will still be featured in the movie:

“They are finishing the film more or less as scripted, replacing Paul with [computer-generated] face replacement,” says this person. “They have two of Paul’s brothers as well as an actor to ‘play’ Paul when needed.” (The Walker brothers, 25-year-old Cody and 36-year-old Caleb, both are helping fill in for their brother physically — Caleb primarily for body size and mannerisms and Cody for the eyes. But the filmmakers need to create a character that not only looks like Paul but also performs like him. That’s the actor’s job.) Peter Jackson’s Weta is tackling the effects work using three cameras (in addition to the main-unit cameras) to capture Walker’s stand-ins for face replacement. “There is a massive amount of gear,” reports the source. “Everything they want with Paul gets done three times over. Three [actors] times seven cameras per shot is a clusterf— of money being spent.” [Hollywood Reporter]

vin-diesel-paul-walker-brothers

Everything has to be done three times using seven different cameras per shot. If you have ever been on set, doing a scene twice can be frustrating enough but, seven times. Talk about a long and slow process to film a movie. Consider this a stop motion feature film animating all of Paul Walker’s parts.

Pharrell Songs Start Exactly the Same Way

0

Did You Know That A Bunch of Pharrell Songs Start Exactly the Same Way?

It is undeniable that Pharrell is a legendary producer and songwriter but as the mix from the blog Discopop points out, Pharrell likes to start his songs out the same way.

Pharrell Williams has produced numerous hit singles for various recording artists. Williams has earned seven Grammy Awards including two with The Neptunes.

I present to you the “Pharrell Williams Guide to Repetitive Song Intros.”

What you are listening to is Pharrell taking the first beat of the first bar and looping it four times before the song begins abruptly. He does this through a bunch of other songs, including Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like it’s Hot”.

This could be Pharrell’s signature or calling card for his beats, or Pharrell has no imagination on how to start a new song. Eitherway it has worked for several years, as Discopop points out:

It’s not a bad technique – for one thing, you get to the melody quicker, and that is a sure-fire way of making your song memorable and radio friendly.

Next time you want to impress someone and Pharrell’s “Happy” comes on the radio, remember what we told you!

Toni Braxton Says God Gave Her Son Autism Because She had an Abortion

0

Toni Braxton dropped a few hits in her new memoir, but one of the largest bombshells she said is her belief that god gave her 11-year-old son autism because she once had an abortion.

Ton Braxton in her new memoir, Unbreak My Heart, discusses an abortion she had in 2001 and writes that her guilt over her procedure was due to her deeply religious upbringing.

“I was suddenly faced with a choice I’d never thought I’d have to make. Amid my major misgivings about abortion, I eventually made the gut-wrenching decision… In my heart, I believed I had taken a life — an action that I thought God might one day punish me for. … My initial rage was quickly followed by another strong emotion: guilt. I knew I’d taken a life… I believed God’s payback was to give my son autism.”

Toni Braxton later argues and puts the blame on vaccinations, writing “Maybe it’s just a coincidence that after my son’s first MMR vaccine, I began to notice changes in him.”

Braxton would later state in an interview with People Magazine, saying she was punished for having an abortion. But, realized there is nothing wrong with her child. “He just learns differently.”

College Freshman, Outed as Porn Actress, Commits Suicide

0

College Freshman was outed as a porn actress and later commits suicide.

Nineteen-year-old Alyssa Funke, a freshman at the University of Wisonconsin-Riverfalls, bought a shotgun, and killed herself on April 14th.

Students at her former high school publicly outed her as the star of a “casting couch” porn video, and her parents say the online harassment contributed to her suicide.

According to reports, Alyssa Funke was a straight-A student, and did her first and only porn video for the website CastingCouchX, earlier this year. She used the fake name Stella Ann and talked with the camera man about high school, college, and sports.

Screen-Shot-2014-05-22-at-2.46.48-PM

After the video premiered, Funke started receiving hateful and nasty Twitter and Facebook messages from her former high school classmates in Minnesota. Many of the messages involved calling her a slut and worse.

Her two final tweets she writes, “Famous for dayzzzzz,” and “Pornstar Status”.

Alyssa Funke’s parents said she suffered from depression, but they believe the harassment is what put her over the edge and played a role in her decision to kill herself.

On a fundraiser page that the parents of Alyssa started, they wrote  “Alyssa like so many other teens was a victim of bully and sadly the bullying lead to her death. Social media has revolutionized the way people bully eachother now days. Now you can say whatever you want and not have to look the person in the face while doing it.”

A sad part of this story is that the fundraising page only received $125 dollars in donations.

The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating the circumstance of Funke’s death.

Red Robin Employee with Hepatitis A May Have Exposed 5,000 People.

A Red Robin employee worked at the burger chain for several months with a contagious case of Hepatitis A, and it is estimated he exposed as many as 5,000 people who visited the restaurant in Springfield, Missouri.

“The Walking Dead” Season 5 Crazier and More Exciting than Ever

0

The Walking Dead started filming for season 5 over a week ago and it looks like Season 5 is going to be better than ever.

Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead‘s creator, recently spoke with Entertainment weekly about the new season and he says the new season is going to be “magical”.

Read More: The Walking Dead Spinoff is Coming Soon

“Everyone’s happy to be back together, so it’s been pretty great and everybody’s bringing their A game still, 5 years in. We’re doing new and different and crazy and exciting things and now I think the atmosphere is that we can’t wait until we can start sharing things with people and start showing things to people because we’re really excited about what we’re doing here. We think we’re making another magical season.” [Entertainment Weekly]

Kirkman also points out that there are going to be a ton of cliffhanger episodes and surprises. So much so, that they have increased secrecy on set. “Just because any images that get out of any kind of things that are seen do in a sense spoil that cliffhanger, so we’re trying to keep things a little more tight this time around.”

How to Get on The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead‘s creator commented on how Season 4 was somewhat slow as the group was separated and there was a focus on the individual stories of each of the characters. But, he points out that the possibility of cannibals in Terminus, will definitely heighten the suspense for season 5. He argues that what makes The Walking Dead so great is that the show will slow down for periods of time and then out of nowhere things will speed up keeping the audience on guard.

Job Security Sucks for Actors – NBC and CW Network Recast Several Actors

0

If booking a role is not hard enough, it is even tougher for actors to keep their jobs in the long run.

In the newly picked up TV show, NBC‘s “Bad Judge” producers are asked to recast two roles played in the pilot by Mather Zickel (I Love You Man) and Arden Myrin (Mad TV). According to Deadline, the two characters on NBC’s Bad Judge are expected to be reworked on the show. The television series recently added Liz Brizius as the show runner on the television series and stars Kate Walsh as a wild child who knows how to have a good time while also being one of the toughest judges in Los Angeles.

Mather Zickel played Gary in the television series, a psychiatrist who has an on-again, off-again relationship with Rebecca. Myrin played Jenny, Rebbecca’s best friend and listener to all of the crazy gossip and romantic news.

In addition to NBC, the CW drama iZombie will be replacing Alexandra Krosney (Last Man Standing).The CW Network’s iZombie comes from Warner Bros. Television and centers on a supernatural crime drama that centers on a med student turned zombie who takes a job at a coroner’s office and ends up solving homicide cases.

But, these two shows are not the only shows that big networks are recasting, The Odd Couple and NBC’s Mission Control are also recasting roles.

Just as you think that you are set for a recurring role on a television series, you may never know when executives may not like what they see.
