No, apparently this isn't a joke....




What is funny though, is the site where I found it. I've was introduced to Filmdrunk quite recently and it's hilarious. If anyone's ever come across Maddox before, it's a bit like that. The guy makes very immature comments in the complete knowledge that he's being totally immature and pretty much takes as many cheap shots as he can while being fairly obnoxious. I'm sure that sounds awful, but somehow it works.

The entry on Castlevania is titled "I Vant To Punch Your Face":

It was going to span hundreds of years, from fifteenth century Transylvania to the European trenches of World War II, yet also would somehow still be an origin story focusing on the genesis of the feud between Dracula and the Belmonts [Ed. - so about 10 hours long then?], the family tasked with battling the vampire and his clan.
That was several years ago, before the writers’ strike and then the sale of Rogue Pictures interrupted Anderson’s plan to bring “Castlevania” to theaters. Now, with the script getting the rewrite treatment and a new director set to helm the flick, Anderson is considerably (and understandably) more tight-lipped when it comes to dishing out details, as MTV News discovered during a recent conversation.

“There’ll be the whip and there’ll be creatures,” Anderson said, referring to Simon Belmont’s weapon of choice and the mythical beasts he battles as he makes his way through Dracula’s castle in the original video game.

Wait.  Wait.  Wait.  A whip?  And creatures?  This changes everything.  This doesn’t look like Van Helsing 2: Van Harder at all.

If I wanted to see a whip and some creatures I’d just go to a gang bang at your mom’s house.

Some other rather funny entries recently are:
This one about some cheesy chick flick from the director of Daredevil

This one about the new 'director's cut' of Terminator Salvation

This one about 2012 with an absolutely hilarious video

Heck, in fact here's the video from that last one:

Edit: Some of you might not realise that Castlevania is a long running video game about a character called Simon Belmont who fights with a whip and makes his way through huge numbers of monsters to kill Dracula. This isn't just another Dracula movie. It's a movie based on a videogame from a director with a really bad track record.

Cute! (Snow Leopard)



A motion controlled camera on a hillside in Afghanistan caught this image automatically. This photo has no photographer. Cooh, eh?

Anti-Islam t-shirts in American school.

We've heard about atheists being picked on in school, we've heard about pagans being picked on in school, and there've even been kids picked on for using sign language in school (see Jessie's comment)!

So I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that we can now see hate speech against Muslims in such an explicit way. However, far from it being students bullying while adults look the other way, one of parents is actively involved in printing the t-shirts.
