Oh Smurf

I had taken my son to the movies earlier this year and was horrified amazed at seeing the teaser trailer for the upcoming live-action version of The Smurfs

Well, now the full trailer is here complete with:

• A well-respected TV actor who clearly has a big mortgage bill.

• Copious uses of the word "smurf" in place of curses, such as "I just smurfed in my mouth" and "Who smurfed?

• More puns than you can smurf a smurf at.

Of course, none of this will stop my kids from wanting to see it.  So here you go, your first look at The Smurfs:

First Look: The New Super 8 Trailer

The teaser trailer that came out before didn't do much for me, but after seeing this, I am SO ready to see Super 8. This looks awesome!

Lykke Li, "I Know Places"

From 2011, here's Lykke Li with "I Know Places."

Enjoy!

Jessie J Gets Naked And Famous

There is nothing NOT awesome about this.

Jessie J, who will be the musical guest on this week's Saturday Night Live, covers "Young Blood" by The Naked And Famous, who will be releasing their debut album in the US on Tuesday (and who we interviewed back in early February).

Spock Boldy Went

As a pop culture geek and a movie-nerd, I love this fan made movie But even the straightest, coolest non-Star Trek fans will surely enjoy a peek at what Spock does all day.

Das Racist, "Ek Shaneesh"

From 2010, here's Das Racist with "Ek Shaneesh."

Enjoy!

Win An Autographed Copy Of Get Scared's EP!

How do you follow up an interview with a band that's getting ready to put out a full-length release and has been touring relentlessly to promote a three-song EP?

Why you give away an autographed copy of the EP, that's what you do!

You may remember we spoke to Get Scared while they slogged their way across America performing for enthusiastic audiences night after night. Well, now we have a chance for you to win the music they are out there playing to the masses. Their self-titled EP, Get Scared, contains three face-melting songs that you, the reader, can get your hands on with just a few simple steps.

Even better than getting something touched and signed by the magic fingers of the gods of rock is understanding what you, the fans need to do in order to possess it.

After losing the battle over my idea to have each participant enter Thunderdome and battle to the death, the more level heads here at Culture Brats prevailed and laid out the rules for this contest/giveaway.

1. Sign up for our email newsletter.
2. That's it.

Seriously. We're not going to make you jump through hoops. Just sign up for our newsletter and you'll be eligible to win the autographed Get Scared EP. We'll announce the winner on March 29, 2011.

Should you find yourself unable to participate due the the crushing disappointment of not being able to wear chainmail and beat worthy opponents while Mad Max watches, you can write me an email and we can commiserate together.

Now GO! FIGHT! WIN!

While you're waiting to see if you're the big winner, you can check out the band on Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, and Twitter.

And The New Lara Croft Is...

Yesterday, Hollywood announced they're going ahead iwth a Tomb Raider remake. So far, the only thing that's been announced is that Graham King (The Departed, Our Town) will be the producer.

No writer has been attached to the remake.

No director has been attached to the remake.

And most importantly, no actress has been announced to take over for Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft.

So for this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want to know which actress you'd like to see portray Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider remake.
