Trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant!
When Toby Hale and Joel McHale signed on, people thought something was afoot. Indeed, there was. Excellent. (via /Film)
New Jeunet! How can you tell it’s really him? Not a flesh-tone in sight.
While I have little idea what is happening in this French trailer (a man gets shot in the head… with hilarious results?), the film stars French comedian Danny Boon and is directed by a man who has waited far too long to step behind a camera again. (via CHUD)
The first trailer for the newly titled (and much more on-the-nose) The Invention of Lying, starring co-writer/-director Ricky Gervais and a cavalcade of comedy stars. While the cut I saw at a test screening sagged under the weight of so many cameos, the movie offers more than its fair share of hilarity.

NHL Players Get Hosed
Despite the highest-rated Stanley Cup finals in a decade, the NHL still can’t get any love below the 48th Parallel.
TMZ.com is reporting that a group of NHL players is suing Las Vegas developer Kenneth Jowdy for allegedly bilking them out of millions of dollars and then using the money to throw lavish parties that included escorts and strippers for some of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball history.
According to the New York Post , Jowdy instead used the $25 million to throw parties complete with porn stars and hookers for some of his baseball buddies including Hall-of-Famers Reggie Jackson and Joe Morgan, all-time hits leader Pete Rose, and seven-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens.
In total, nineteen NHL players were bilked out of their money, including Michael Peca, seen above shortly after receiving the news. Morgan did not comment on how this would affect Clemens’ chances of entering the Hall of Fame. (via FOX:KT)

Nobody Mimi Leders it better. Roland Emmerich unleashes Microsoft Ark-arta 2009. The CG on the futuristic black president looks phenomenal. And yes, that’s a fucking giraffe in an air-lift harness. That’s how you move giraffes, asshole. [via]
It seems amidst all the many, many, many millions of dollars spent on CG and work on John Cusack’s face that Emmerich has remade Day After Tomorrow, until for no reason we’re underground looking at spaceships, and the grand plan comes into focus. Emmerich has made the ultimate homage to and mash-up of himself. I can only assume they’re saving the huge dinosaurs/lizards as a surprise for the movie itself.](http://18.media.tumblr.com/oAzqy0jJ9ovdlquoTYQQsQLdo1_400.jpg)
