‘This Is The End’ Opens To Impressive Box Office Figures

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg may have just come up with this season’s sleeper movie, and by that, I don’t mean a movie that makes you fall asleep because it’s bad. I mean ‘sleeper’ as in something initially unnoticed that suddenly gains attention. Because their latest movie, titled This Is The End, didn’t really strike off as a box office hit (for me, at least). From the trailers, it did appear pretty funny — OK, hilarious, but as comedy that will shatter the box office and even come up as number one in midweek? Come on!

The film, which marks the directorial debut for both Golden and Rogen, is hoped to reach the $30 million mark over the next 5 days in order to recoup from its $32 million budget. And judging by the way it’s performing so far, things seem to be looking good considering that it already made $6.5 million on Wednesday from 3,055 theaters and including $2.2 million from Tuesday late shows and Wednesday midnights.

In this R-rated end-of-the-world comedy, Rogen, who both wrote and directed together with Goldberg, will star as himself, who’ll be leading an all-star cast of comedic actors, who by the way, are also playing as themselves (well, sort of) based on their public personas. It is based on a short film created by Rogen and Baruchel in 2007 titled Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse. The story is basically about a group of characters who suddenly found themselves trying to survive the apocalypse as they were about to attend a party at James Franco’s house.

Other stars in the film include Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Michael Cera, and Emma Watson. Special appearances include Rihanna, Kevin Hart, Paul Rudd, and Jason Segel.

Princess Diana was known as the people’s princess, a fashion and style icon, and one of the most popular and well-loved women in the world. Her untimely death made everyone mourn her loss and now, the princess comes back to life in the upcoming biopic.

Played by Naomi Watts, Princess Di definitely has come back. Watts did a very good job in impersonating her gestures, mannerisms, the way she wear her clothes as well as interacting with people. But what’s so surprising is how closely she resembles the late princess with her layered short haircut, her eyelashes, and her shy, head-down, eyes-up trademark smile.

Here we get a glimpse of the film’s trailer that depicts Diana caught amidst the pressures of fame. The biopic boasts of a grand production, from red carpets to designer ball gowns, to glamorous locations.

This story focuses on the last years of Diana’s life, so we’re about to see at least what happened during those times before her fatal car crash in August 1997.

The show’s hosted by Mikey and Ryanne, who, I just have to say, are so very easy to listen to. And by “easy”, I meant that they don’t tend to veer away from the main subject when talking. In other words, they’re very straightforward and they don’t waste time on any small talk. They indeed provide some great real world advice, which is both entertaining and informative at the same time.

5 Funny Video Game-Related Videos In YouTube

If you’ve been watching videos on YouTube long enough then you should be familiar with the video of the “angry German kid” who was who wreaked havoc on his computer’s keyboard and eventually rage quits playing Unreal Tournament. Today I thought I’d show you a few other funny video game-related videos on YouTube that’ll lighten up your day.

First on the list is a very telling short clip that kind of shows us that StarCraft isn’t all that exciting to as many South Koreans as we think.

The second video shows us what Mario from the first and original Super Mario Bros. game would be like if he ever crossed the line and went from “Rated: E” to “Rated: M.”

Third is a compilation of funny moments in various video game titles, most of which has something to do with the game’s physics engine.

Now this fourth one is also a compilation of several clips taken from various games. YouTube user PewDiePie compiled it and actually has tons of other similar videos on his playlist. So if you like this one then you’re sure to love the others as well.

The fifth video on our list is somewhat similar to the infamous ‘Angry German Kid’, only this time it shows us a video capture of the game instead of the player himself. Have lots of laugh watching this guy play and try to finish this nearly impossible version of Super Mario for 23 minutes. Enjoy!
