A store called Fancy is offering this sweatsuit modeled after the Apollo 11 spacesuits, complete with seams, wrinkles, patches, ports, straps, and even the name “Armstrong” printed on it. The Apollo 11 sweatsuit would be perfect for a little make-believe in the comfort of your home, if it didn’t cost $139 plus what I hear is an outrageous shipping cost. Oh, I'm sure the real suits probably cost more than that, even in 1969, but you and I don't have NASA's clothing budget. -via Geekologie
In a cross-promotional effort will likely end up alienating everyone one way or another, the 12 Monkeys TV adaptation on SyFy will access and control your home’s lighting, if you want it to. And also if you have a very certain type of home lighting system (Hue) from Phillips.
More specifically, episodes will come with a light track, like a soundtrack, that adjusts the lighting during certain portions of the episode. What does this mean for the rest of us?
NOT A DAMN THING. But if you require a parlor trick to validate your purchase, and can convince another person to watch a SyFy original series with you, then you can show this newfangled lighting system off, and maybe, MAYBE have a slightly richer viewing experience. But still not one good enough to validate your purchase.

In the 9 seasons that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been on the air, the gang (Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Dee, Frank) has downed 2,317 beers on camera, as well as 140 shots, 18 jugs of riot punch, and at least 8 soda cans full of wine. That’s enough alcohol to kill 750 of even the most alcohol-tolerant preteens and enough liquid to drown the entire population of Glover, Vermont. Pretty impressive, those numbers I just made up.
The gang likes to drink is what I’m getting at, and tonight’s 10th season premiere will see them attempt to break Wade Boggs’ infamous 107 beer record while on a cross-country flight. I can think of no group of fictional alcoholics more up to the task than the Always Sunny crew, and to prove that, here are seven episodes of Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Frank, and Big Bird at their finest drunkest.
“Chardee MacDennis: Game of Games” — Season 7
Obviously, one cannot begin a countdown of the gang’s drunkest moments without first mentioning the incredibly intricate, incredibly debaucherous drinking game they invented: CharDee MacDennis. It’s a game that not only challenges the mind, body, and spirit, but perhaps most importantly, the ability to consume the ingredients necessary to make to a cake while locked in a dog cage. It’s also a game that gets you absolutely shitfaced in less than 15 minutes. Suck on that efficiency rate, Esurance!
“Hundred Dollar Baby” — Season 2
There are only two ways to become a successful underground street fighter. The first is alcohol. The second is black market steroids. When combined, they can turn even a loveable dope like Charlie Kelly into a vicious manbeast hellbent on destroying everything and everyone around him in a fit of blackout rage.
“Who Got Sweet Dee Pregnant?” — Season 6
After Dee reveals that she got pregnant at the Paddy’s Pub Halloween party and that one of the gang is the father, Mac, Dennis, and Charlie set out on a Hangover-style quest to figure out who did the dirty deed. Being that they were all “browned out” at the party in question, they enlist the help of Artemis and the McPoyle brothers to replay the night back to them. The lesson here is one as old as time itself: Dedicate one member of your group as the sober guy or risk banging your sister.
“Mac’s Banging the Waitress” — Season 4
No matter how hard I try, I have yet to convince my local pizzeria that “The Charlie Kelly Challenge” is a great idea.
“If they fail to drink 24 beers *and* eat an entire pizza in one sitting, they have to pay for all of it,” I’ve said. “And if they die trying, it’s free publicity!”
How the folks and Ginero’s Fun Time Pizza Parlor have failed to understand this win-win scenario continues to boggle my mind.
“The Gang Gets Invincible” — Season 3
For all the crap marijuana gets, “The Gang Gets Invincible” proves outright that alcohol is truly *the* gateway drug that can lead to far worse things — specifically, LSD and football-related concussions.
“The Gang Gives Frank an Intervention” — Season 5
Of course, alcohol can also lead to the invention of great things, like wine in a can. If you ask me, that’s worth the risk.
“The High School Reunion, Part 2: The Gang’s Revenge” — Season 7
It’s sometimes easy to forget how often It’s Always Sunny relies on an unreliable narrator to construct its increasingly insane storylines. The show is less an objective tale of 5 misanthropic alcoholics and more a fantasy as viewed through the beer goggles of the alcoholics themselves. That is to say, even when the gang doesn’t appear drunk, they are almost positively hammered at the time and oblivious to how the real world actually views them. It’s like that scene in Beerfest where Barry Badrinath picks up what he believes to be a smoking hot woman with his smooth dance moves, only to realize the next day that he drunkenly hooked up with Monique pre-her massive weight loss.
Drunk confidence is the driving force of Always Sunny, and no episode demonstrated this better than the season 7 finale, which was capped off by a hilariously unaware dance number set to the tune of George Michael’s “Freedom! ’90.”

Why shouldn’t Will Forte be the last man alive? Or The Last Man on Earth, at least, as indicated by the title of his new show. We expected to see this televised oddity last year, but now it is set for a March premiere. Forte plays, yeah, the last man on the planet, named Phil Miller, and this new trailer for the show jokingly argues that, as the last guy around, he’s also, by default, the best at everything.
The name “Phil Miller,” by the way, is a portmanteau of the names of the show’s creators: Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who you may know as the creators of an unbroken string of good stuff that begins with Clone High and goes through The Lego Movie and 22 Jump Street. They co-created the show with Forte. At this point we have no idea how this will be more than a one-off story. There are obvious antecedents here (like I Am Legend, one film adaptation of which gives this show its title) but for a Fox series? No clue. We can’t wait to see where it goes. In the meantime, check out the Last Man on Earth trailer below.
The show’s series premiere is set for Sunday March at 9:30/8:30c. Trailer via Fox.
From writer/producer Will Forte (“Nebraska,” “Saturday Night Live”) and directors/producers Chris Miller and Phil Lord (“The Lego Movie,” “21 Jump Street”), THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is a new single-camera comedy about the life and adventures of the last man on earth. The year is 2022, and after an unlikely event, only one man is left on earth: PHIL MILLER (Forte), who used to be just an average guy who loved his family and hated his job at the bank. Now, in his RV, Phil searches the country for other survivors. He has traveled to every city, every town and every outpost in the United States, Mexico and Canada, and has found no one, which leads him to the painful realization that he is almost certainly the last living being on the face of the earth.
Sure, there are some positives that come with being the last person on earth. You can go live in the White House if you want. You can park in handicapped spots without an ounce of guilt. You can decorate your home with priceless works of art. You wanna wear a pair of tighty-whiteys and nothing else every single day of the year? Not a problem.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is a comedy about a man trying to make lemonade out of the most soul-crushing lemon there is. But if anyone can do it, Phil Miller can. He’s not about to give up now. He is sad and so, so very lonely. But he’ll get through this. Because there’s a small kernel of hope that somewhere out there is another survivor. And maybe one day, they’ll run into each other. That would be a good day. And if that survivor happened to be a woman? Well, then that would be a great day.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. The series is created and written by Will Forte. The pilot will be directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller. The series will be executive-produced by Forte, Lord, Miller and Seth Cohen.

At one point in 2001′s Wet Hot American Summer, the counselors of Camp Firewood make an earnest promise to reunite at in exactly one decade. Well, it looks like they’ve missed the mark by a few years, but better late than never, right?
Netflix is officially moving forward with the Wet Hot American Summer TV series first teased last year. Shooting is already underway with much of the original cast, including a few names who are much bigger now than they were then. More on the Wet Hot American Summer Netflix show after the jump.
Although the streaming service has yet to confirm the series order, Deadline reports filming has started this week. The limited series will consist of 8 episodes. David Wain and Michael Showalter, who wrote the original film, created the TV series follow-up, and Wain will once again direct. It’s unclear when the show will debut on Netflix.
Impressively, nearly the entire core cast is coming back — including Showalter, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, Amy Poehler, H. Jon Benjamin, Michael Ian Black, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Nina Hellman, Ken Marino, Zak Orth, David Hyde Pierce, Joe LoTruglio, Christopher Meloni, A.D. Miles, Marguerite Moreau, Marisa Ryan, Molly Shannon, and Kevin Sussman.
That lineup sounds much more impressive today than it did in 2001, before Cooper, Rudd, Banks, and Poehler were household names. The movie itself also enjoys much more popularity nowadays than it did back then. It was a poorly reviewed box office dud, but has since gone on to achieve cult status.
The Wet Hot American Summer TV series is expected to be a prequel. Which might be a ridiculous idea for most properties, seeing as the characters will be in their teens while the actors are in their 40s. But this is Wet Hot American Summer; the ridiculous casting is part of the joke.
Wain had been talking about a potential Wet Hot American Summer follow-up for so long, it had started to feel more like a pipe dream than an actual attainable goal. But Netflix came to the rescue, just as it did with another formerly deceased cult property, Arrested Development.
In fact, Wet Hot American Summer will be taking a page out of the Arrested Development playbook by using only a few characters per scene, making it easier to wrangle the busy cast. Arrested Development‘s results got a mixed reception from fans, but here’s hoping Wet Hot American Summer will fare better.
While we wait, here’s a delightful scene of future Ant-Man Paul Rudd from the 2001 film:

During periods of his career, Martin Scorsese has enjoyed working with one lead actor over and over again. In the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, that actor was Robert De Niro. In the last two decades, it was Leonardo DiCaprio. However, the three have never worked together on a feature film. That’s the gag in a series of commercials for two casinos in Manila, Philippines.
Scorsese directed the commercials, which star DiCaprio and De Niro as themselves, competing for a same role. However, these are not just commercials. These are basically trailers for a short film called The Audition that will also bring Brad Pitt into the mix. Yes, it’s a Martin Scorsese directed short starring DiCaprio, De Niro and Pitt. And rumor has it, each actor made over $10 million for the work. Check out the Martin Scorsese Leonardo DiCaprio Robert De Niro commercials below.
Thanks to The Film Stage for the heads up. Here are the two trailers, featuring lots of same footage, but each for a different casino owned by the same company: The City of Dreams in Manila and Studio City in Macau.
[Video removed at legal request]
In the second clip, you see a tease of Brad Pitt and a press release about the production confirms he’ll be appearing in the final film which will premiere later this year. Here’s a quote from Brett Ratner, a producer on the project:
This short film is a historic event because it is the first film ever to star such legendary actors as Robert De Niro, Leonardo Dicaprio and Brad Pitt in one film together. Mr. Lawrence Ho and Mr. James Packer served as Executive Producers and convinced iconic filmmaker Martin Scorsese to direct the film whom I was thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with. The cooperation between Mr. Scorsese and the Melco Crown Entertainment brand is synergistic because of the fact that Mr. Scorsese directed the film “Casino” starring Robert DeNiro. Mr. Scorsese has collaborated with Mr. DeNiro on 8 films and with Mr. DiCaprio on 5 films and is working with Mr. Pitt for the first time. Our hope is that the trailer for “The Audition” gives audiences an early look into what will surely be an important cinematic experience directed by one of the most culturally influential directors in the history of Hollywood films. I look forward to the Global Premiere of the film at the launch of Studio City in mid-2015.
You can read more at the press release, but we’ll keep an eye out for the final film. What do you think about this historic short film with Martin Scorsese Leonardo DiCaprio Robert De Niro?

Other than all of the infighting, Clark Gregg’s character getting killed, probably a lot of New Yorkers getting killed, and Iron Man almost getting killed, the first Avengers movie kind of made being on a superhero team seem like a lot of fun. They got to beat up aliens, say quippy Joss Whedon dialogue, and spend some time near Tom Hiddleston. The first trailer for Age Of Ultron ditched that fun for a lot of serious talk about strings and evil robots, but then Marvel eased up on that with an extended trailer that featured some much-needed chillaxing from The Avengers. Now, though, Marvel has another proper trailer, and things are back to looking grim.
There isn’t a ton here that’s completely new, but there are some longer takes of things we saw in the other trailer. There’s more of the Hulk fighting Iron Man, a ...

Ghostface Killah and DOOM have long teased a collaborative record, which might see release in 2015, but in the meantime we have this – Ghostface has teamed up with the Toronto jazz group BADBADNOTGOOD on an LP titled Sour Soul, and one song, “Ray Gun,” features DOOM. You can check that out right now – it sounds like the theme to our kind of film-noir spy movie – and you’ll have no trouble putting it on repeat until we hear more from one or both of these guys. Sour Soul is out February 17th.

CoreyClever.
We’ve all chuckled when a terrible movie throws out a line of dialogue that seems to sum up our own dismissal of the film perfectly. That idea is the inspiration for a video that uses dialogue from some of the worst films of 2014 to review the films themselves.
While there’s a movie or two in here that might not quite be among the year’s worst (Monuments Men is too optimistic to really hate, I’d argue, even if it does squander a great cast and premise) there’s nothing quite as apt as seeing dialogue from A Million Ways to Die in the West, Dracula Unbound and, yeah, Winter’s Tale (above) repurposed to talk about the films themselves.
Yahoo cut together the video.
Inevitably there will be some films and lines that didn’t make the cut here — what are your calls for inclusion that didn’t end up in the video?

If you thought the latest film in the Taken series would be the end of Liam Neeson‘s run as an action star, you thought wrong. Here comes Run All Night, which casts Neeson as a mob hitman who must protect his son from the violent attentions of a gangster after the young guy witnesses the wrong act. This one re-teams Neeson with his Non-Stop and Unknown director Jaume Collet-Serra, and also features Joel Kinnaman, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ed Harris, Bruce McGill, Genesis Rodriguez, Boyd Holbrook, Holt McCallany, and Common. Check out the Run All Night trailer below.
In all, that’s actually a decent trailer, though ‘Danny Boy’ couldn’t be more over-used at this point. But those first few shots kinda have a visual callback to Die Hard With a Vengeance, and there’s a good build to this sales pitch for a story that looks no more complicated than most of Neeson’s other recent action roles. But the one-night structure, and that showdown in the woods hinted at by the end of the trailer, might offer something neat for those who love seeing Neeson play these roles.
And this shot, the best example of protective parenting through violence I’ve seen in a while, might be my fave of the trailer:
Run All Night opens on April 17. Trailer via YouTube.

Sylvester Stallone is currently over in Philly getting started on the Rocky spin-off Creed, and once that’s done he’s looking to revisit another of his iconic characters. The actor and screenwriter has confirmed he is working on Rambo: Last Blood (or is it Last Blood: Rambo?). In fact, it’ll move forward before his mob drama Scarpa does. More details on the Sylvester Stallone Rambo Last Blood update after the jump.
Stallone offered the update in a series of tweets.
Going to Philly to start the film CREED…. What a great idea

Doing Scarpa based on Gangster Greg Scarpa after LAST BLOOD RAMBO…
— Sylvester Stallone (@TheSlyStallone) December 28, 2014
His notes seem to confirm rumors from this fall that the fifth Rambo movie would be titled Last Blood. At the time Peter complained the name was “a bit too on the nose,” but it does seem appropriate. Interestingly, Rambo: Last Blood was also the name of a flash-based game released in 2012.
As previously announced by Splendid Films, Stallone has already begun work on his screenplay for the next Rambo film. “With Rambo V, Sylvester Stallone returns in his iconic role,” the company said in June. “This time he goes up against a Mexican cartel. Stallone describes the new Rambo as his version of No Country for Old Men.”
The fifth Rambo movie has been in development for several years already, but as of now still hasn’t officially been announced. Stallone’s latest message doesn’t say when exactly cameras will roll on Rambo: Last Blood, only that it’ll take priority over Scarpa. So either Rambo: Last Blood is shooting soon, or Scarpa is a really long way off.
Scarpa is being directed by Brad Furman and scripted by Nicholas Pileggi (Goodfellas, Casino). It’ll the true tale of Gregory Scarpa, a capo and hitman who claimed to have killed at least 50 people for the Colombo crime family. Scarpa will focus on the gangster’s later life as an FBI informant, specifically his help with the “Mississippi Burning” case in the mid-1960s. Scarpa died of AIDS-related complications in 1994 at the age of 66.

Channing Tatum has long been attached to play Gambit in the X-Men universe. We just don’t know when we’ll first see him in the costume. Could it be X-Men Apocalypse in May 2016? Maybe. But the actor took to his social media to reveal that a release date has now been set for a Gambit solo movie. It’ll be out on October 7, 2016. Read more about the Gambit movie release date below.
Here’s what Tatum posted to his Facebook and Twitter.
How do you say October 7, 2016 in Cajun?
— Channing Tatum (@channingtatum) January 6, 2015
“How do you say October 7, 2016 in Cajun?” Cajun, of course, being the native dialect of the popular X-Man. And yes, October 7, 2016 is a Friday. The Wrap then confirmed.
The most recent news we had on the Gambit movie was that screenwriter Josh Zetumer (the RoboCop reboot) was penning a draft based on a treatment by the character’s co-creator, Chris Claremont. Since this release date is real that draft must be coming along nicely. I’d assume we’ll start hearing about directors rather soon.
Tatum said the following about the character a few months back:
We really do want to try our hardest to give something fresh. We’re obviously going to go to the saving-the-world superhero movies eventually, but maybe not for the first one. We kind of want to introduce this character in a very different way. When you try to do something different, you never really know right off the bat what that is. We’re feeling our way into it. And we really just gotta prove that concept of that person.
So does that refer to this solo film? And will he appear in X-Men: Apocalypse? We don’t know. But it definitely sounds like he’s ready to make a long term commitment to the character and a release date is a huge, huge step forward for the solo film.
Are you excited for the Gambit movie?

Raiders of the Lost Art, Jaws, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Ghostbusters, Die Hard – these are some of the most popular films ever made. They also have some of the most recognizable posters of all time. So, as an artist, attempting to make a poster for one is no easy feat. Do you just put everyone’s face in the frame? Maybe you try to sum up the story with one image? The options are endless, and sometimes not that appealing.
Artist Anthony Petrie has quietly been perfecting a unique, very cool way to approach well-known films. Over the past year or so, he’s been making posters for iconic movies that look like charts or maps of each movie. So, for example, he did Ghostbusters as a New York City subway map, filled with references. Die Hard became a set of Nakatomi Tower blueprints and Aliens became a readout on a motion tracker. Each poster represent these amazing movies in subtle ways, specific to the movie, without going overboard on character likenesses. They showed something more artistic and fun.
January 9 at Gallery 1988 West in Los Angeles, Petrie is presenting a whole new exhibit of new work in that mode. It’s called Charts, and he’s doing maps for some of the movies mentioned above and many more. Below, check out just a few of the Anthony Petrie Gallery 1988 Charts including an exclusive from a galaxy far, far away.
Charts by Anthony Petrie opens from 7-10 p.m. January 9 at Gallery 1988 West, 7308 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles CA. It remains on display through January 24 and all remaining prints will go on sale January 10 at www.gallery1988.com.
Here are some of the posters in Charts via Things to do in LA. Click on all the images for larger versions.
And, just for you /Film readers, here’s an exclusive debut. I think you know the movie:
The print is called ”The Blue Milky Way” (Regular Version),” and is 36″ x 24” Screen-Print Silver and Gold Metallic ink on Night Shift Blue French Paper. It’s signed and numbered in an edition of 100 and printed by Seizure Palace.
And this is what the poster looks like in person, which is always different from seeing an online image.
So we’ve seen Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Willy Wonka. What else is in the show? Here’s the full list:
Petrie also reveals there will be five variants in the show and everything has an edition between 75-100 with prices ranging from $30 to $100.
Finally, if you attend the opening, the artist promises “a couple of other surprises, and something only available at the gallery. It’s ridiculous, and something to my knowledge, no one has done before.”
That kind of sums up the whole show though, doesn’t it? For more of Petrie’s work, visit his website.
