L.A. Proved Too Much For The Man!! Tony Stark, Gaylord Focker & Nacho Libre Climb The Midnight Train To Georgia!!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. — I am – Hercules!! Did you watch the season finale of “American Idol” last night? It featured a strange promotion for the movie “Tropic Thunder.” As we head into Memorial Day weekend, I feel compelled to share it with those who may have missed it: Before they went in for the close-ups, I thought that was Jeremy Piven on the right! It may not be the funniest thing, but perhaps more compelling than any three minutes of "Dancing With The Stars." Will we see them reprise it live on the MTV Movie Awards next week? Take up valuable bandwidth with your predictions and reactions. [image] [image] From The Guy Who Wrote The Making of Star Wars ...

Same Knight, Different Pips
SOULBOUNCE.COM — How ironic was it that one day after we featured "Midnight Train to Georgia" on our countdown, the folks over at American Idol air a "remix" of the exact video we used, featuring Gladys Knight's new "Pips." Lawd. The clip features the cast of the most side eye-inducing movie this side of the 1981 release of That's My Mama: The Movie, and a few things are abundantly clear: Jack Black and Ben Stiller are complete clowns, while Robert Downey, Jr.'s movements are so stiff (don't worry, he was playing a white man in the vid), it's like he still has the Iron Man suit on. A ...

Gladys Knight and the Pips?
For Cinephiles by a Cinefille — This video of "Midnight Train to Georgia" (one of my favorite songs) is from last night's American Idol finale. Probably the best promotion for a summer movie I've seen in a while. It's hilarious.

Leaving on a midnight train - Woo Woo!
Discopop Directory — One of the problems of being in the UK is that American Idol is on a piddling little digital TV channel, and it's very easy to forget its on. In fact, I was surprised to find they only chose the winner a week ago. Didn't they start the auditions back in - what was it now - 2003? ...
