• "South Park"/"Heavy Metal" Mashup Maybe Needed More Boobs

  Call us party poopers but we can't help but feel a little disappointed in last night's South Park, which went by the name of "Major Boobage" and promised to be a Heavy Metal-inspired hornball freakout -- but wound up spending too much time taking the same Libertarian-type potshots that the show always does: "Hey, the media overreacts!" "Hey, the nanny state is a bad idea!" "Hey, TV confessions are exercises in narcissism!" Hey, get to the major boobage, guys! Don't get us wrong, there was major boobage, and the episode is totally worth watching. It's just, you know, we wanted MORE! We were excited at the prospect of the Stan and the kids really confronting weird adult sex stuff again. Too much to ask? Maybe. Anyways, if you're at work and can't get away with watching 22 minutes of a cartoon (but weirdly, "literate smut" is OK?), meet back here after the jump for some choice screengrabs. Read More...

• David Fincher. "Heavy Metal." That Is All.

  If you think you heard a swishing sort of sound over the weekend, that was probably just the whistle of a million film-nerd boners swaying in the spring breeze over the news that David Fincher will be heading up a new animated adaptation of sci-fi stroke mag Heavy Metal for release in... well, we're not sure, actually. Fincher just wrapped a movie with Brad Pitt, and is attached to a number of other projects, but he's only gonna be directing one of Heavy Metal's segments, along with other segments by the guy who created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and others; he's largely producing the project. Still, it's a good sign, right? We'll keep ya posted if other big names get attached.
