Once again proving that the universe is essentially a meaningless, indifferent void bereft of reason or compassion, and that, in the end, all things lead to suffering, ryanseacrest.com (a.k.a., the seventh and final seal of the apocalypse) has loosed the final plague upon the Earth: the trailer for Jersey Shore Season 5.
In yet another example of the Occupy Wall Street movement being co-opted by Hollywood (as we had previously reported, you can expect to see some of it featured in The Dark Knight Rises), it seems that the protest movement has now also become the casting pool for the upcoming season of MTV’s The Real World, or, as I call it, MTV’s Hey, A Bunch Of Entitled Asses Get Together In A House With A Hot Tub, Generate Occasional Racial or Homophobic Friction, And Then Drink A Whole Lot And Ask You To Watch.
Jennifer Lawrence‘s Katniss Everdeen made her in motion debut last night at the MTV video music awards. Katniss is the lead of The Hunger Games, which is hoped to be the next Twilight. The film is currently in production, but a teaser was crafted for the event in hopes to stoke anticipation, as it worked so well for the Twilight films. Take a look…
Sigh. Just in time for the network’s 30th birthday, MTV decided to announce it’s new TV show, which, if the title is to tell us anything, will also serve as the final epitaph for ever considering music ever returning to MTV ever again… Hey, you know what? This is simply too exhausting to even make a “hey, MTV sure doesn’t play music anymore!” joke. For Christ’s sake, the show is called Dumb Girls, which is the equivalent of MTV shrugging and saying, “oh, what the hell?”
Since this deals entirely with a film whose massive twist is pretty much the entire crux of its storyline, I’m basically going to stand here and whistle until we get to the jump line, so as not to drop any spoilers for the five of you who haven’t seen Catfish.
So… how about that locals sports team? Weather too hot or cold for you? Boy, can you believe what that wacky, drug-addled celebrity did this week?
Ok, we good? Alright then.
Hey, teens of America with your Twitters and your baggy jeans and your Four Lokos and your dead-eyed Kristen Stewarts—ready for the next bandwagon-hopping exploitation of the fact that you’ll apparently watch anything in which other teenagers deal with werewolves or vampires or whatever as a clunky metaphor for all the melodramatic crap you agonize over having to deal with on a daily basis?
‘Cause MTV decided to remake everyone’s favorite Michael J. Fox film (after Back to the Future I, Back to the Future II, Back to the Future III, The Secret of My Success, Doc Hollywood, The American President, and Stuart Little, anyway), Teen Wolf.
It’s time to review season three’s penultimate episode (yeah, we thought last week was the penultimate episode, so sorry about that) of “Jersey Shore“. Things between Ronnie and Sammi are looking to come to a head as the season winds down, and we wonder how they can possibly be featured in Italy next season without burying the show permanently.
It looks like MTV can only ride the wave of controversy for so long before people realize the truth. The cable networks’ U.S. version of the U.K. teen series “Skins” has suffered a serious ratings drop after its first airing. When the show debuted it was surrounded my negative buzz due to the explicit and sexual nature of its content, which features some underage actors. When parental watch dog groups caught wind of the show they went into full protest mode, and it looks like they’re hard work is paying off.
We knew sooner or later that MTV’s guilty pleasure “Jersey Shore” was going to find another way to exploit Italian culture. The majority of the cast consists of men and women of Italian decent, and they’ve gotten grilled in the media for their negative representation of the people. Now it seems as if they want to set the record straight by hanging out with citizens from the motherland. “Jersey Shore” is going to Italy!
