'Pirates 4' Trailer Announcement

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger TidesThose eagerly anticipating the first trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides won't have to wait much longer as Disney announced yesterday that they'll be debuting the trailer online on December 13th, and will be screening it in theaters before prints of Tron: Legacy (which opens on December 17th).
The fourth installment in Disney's ridiculously successful franchise once again stars Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. This time, however, we follow Captain Jack on an adventure that has him searching for the Fountain of Youth. Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane and Geoffrey Rush also star, and you can catch it in theaters on May 20th.
More Muppets Cameos Announced
The new Muppets movie is beginning to pick up a whole lot of celebrity steam. Jason Segel and Amy Adams look to be the film's main live-action stars, but they'll be joined by a host of celebrity cameos on an adventure that finds our favorite Muppets on a quest to save their theater after a ruthless evildoer named Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) claims to smell oil beneath it.
The latest news is that Emily Blunt and Ricky Gervais have signed on for cameos. They'll be joined by Jack Black, Zach Galifianakis, French Stewart, Billy Crystal, Alan Arkin, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Kristen Schaal. Paul Rudd is also starring as the voice of a brand new Muppet named Walter. The film is due out next Christmas.
Michael Bay Directs Victoria's Secret Holiday Commercial
When he's not off directing a Transformers movie, Michael Bay tends to helm a commercial or two. Over the past few years, he's become the go-to guy for Victoria's Secret, who've hired him to make explosive commercials that show off their line of women's lingerie. Naturally, anything that has to do with the word "explosive" is right in Michael Bay's wheelhouse, and it's not hard to see the director written all over these somewhat cheesy, over-the-top ads. Check out the latest one below, and let us know whether you think it's better than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. (Psst, I kinda think so.)

    For those of you who've read Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash", I'm pretty sure that's what Ukrainian nuclear fuzz-grunge sounds like. Who did the music and where?

    I agree. By far better than both Transformers 2 AND Bad Boys 2 (although I wouldn't mind watching the sequel to this commercial). At about 10.5 seconds in, there is a cut from the girl walking in the dessert to a somewhat shaky and close up effect of the same girl walking. Does anyone know what this is called?
