Does Justin Timberlake Offend You?

Okay. Everyone's been gabbing about the cover for Justin Timberlake's "Tunnel Vision" single. What do you think?

James Franco, Cats, And Grease: Why Didn't This Video Break The Internet?

And it's all set to the musical stylings of R.E.M.



So for this week's Your Say Hump Day, your assignment is to explain what the hell they were thinking with this video. Go!

Lawless: Beach Blanket Bondurant

I'm fairly certain that you need not have read Matt Bondurant's somewhat true historical novel The Wettest County In The World to be gleefully anticipating the Wednesday premiere of John Hillcoat's star-packed Lawless.

Here's why I'm interested in a movie where Sam Witwicky, Comissioner Gordon, Peter Weyland, and Bane (sporting a weathered-looking Mr. Rogers cardigan) brew hooch and perpetrate violence: they wear hats, have warm southern drawls, and cause a rip in the fabric of the universe resulting from too much method acting in a small space.

So what say you? Will you make time to watch a dark, gritty prohibition period piece about Virginia moonshiners starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, and Jessica Chastain? Or will you be spending your money elsewhere?

Will Abraham Lincoln Make An Awesome Vampire Hunter?

The trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was released the other day:



What do you think? Must-see or ridiculous mashup? Have your say in the comments!

Katherine Heigl's Been Grouponed

Katherine Heigl's new film One For The Money hasn't even opened yet and it's already being heavily discounted:



What gives? Is the movie bad or is Hollywood looking at the bottom line? Here's her career as a leading lady (all numbers taken from The Internet Movie Database):

Date	Film	Opening Weekend	Total Gross
June 1, 2007	Knocked Up	$30,690,990 ($10,690/screen)	$148,734,225
January 20, 2008	27 Dresses	$27,442,040 ($8,974/screen)	$76,808,654
July 26, 2009	The Ugly Truth	$27,605,576 ($9,579/screen)	$88,915,214
June 6, 2010	Killers	$15,837,266 ($5,539/screen)	$47,000,485
October 10, 2010	Life As We Know It	$14,506,464 ($4,605/screen)	$53,358,964

So what do you think this Groupon offer means?

Do Nirvana And The Strokes Owe It To R.E.M.?

Former R.E.M. bassist Mike Millis had the following to say when asked by Scotland On Sunday if R.E.M.'s impact has been as widespread as the Beatles:

"We maybe changed US rock, over time – we forced mainstream radio stations to open their playlists to music they might otherwise not have been interested in playing. Would Nirvana and the Strokes have happened without us? You can never know."

For this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want to know if you think he's right. Would Nirvana have been nearly as popular without R.E.M. paving the way?

First Look: American Reunion

The trailer for American Reunion hit the web yesterday:



This is (hopefully) the final installment of the American Pie franchise. While I loved the first flick, I don't think I'll be buying a ticket for this one.

How about you?

Metallica + Lou Reed = Worst Collaboration Ever?

"The View," the first song from the Lou Reed/Metallica collaboration, hit the web on Sunday. I instantly hated it. But because I wanted to like it, I stepped away and decided to revisit it a few days later.



Nope. Still sucks.

Lou Reed and Metallica... that just holds so much promise, you know? But the end result is severely lacking.

So for the week's Your Say Hump Day, tell us what you think of "The View" and if you know of any collaborations worse than this one, link 'em up in the comments.

MTV's Best Videos Of The '80s

So MTV did a poll to see what MTV fans thought the best video of the '80s is and the results surprised me. The overwhelming winner at around 75% was...

INXS's "Need You Tonight" video.



It's a really weird list and wow are there some INXS fans browsing MTV.com.

Who would you have voted for?

Let's Talk About Lady Gaga's New Video

Have you seen it yet? With the cornfields, barnyard voodoo, mermaid, freaky ice cream guy, and everything else?



She also kisses herself, which is kind of cool. You just know Kanye's pissed he didn't think of that first.

So what do you think? Personally, "You And I" is my favorite Lady Gaga song. But the video's a little too much.

First Thoughts: Maroon 5 Ft. Christina Aguilera, "Moves Like Jagger"

So they released the video for the Maroon 5/Xtina joint yesterday. What do you think?



Personally, if we're looking for a video with impersonators, I'm going to go with the Poly Styrene video with all the Michael Jackson impersonators we showed yesterday. And if you want songs that mention Jagger, I'll take Cher Lloyd's "Swagger Jagger."

What do you say?

When Did MTV Die?

For this week's Your Say Hump Day, we've got an easy one for you. We want to know when you think MTV died, when it stopped being classic MTV.

Have your say in the comments!

You Can Now Take A Cruise With Weezer To An Island In The Sun

Weezer is doing one of those celebrity cruise things that seem to be popular among a lot of the hair bands I used to follow. Weezer will be performing on the cruise along with Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh, Gene Ween and Dave Dreiwitz, Wavves, The Antlers, Yuck, Free Energy, Boom Bip, J. Mascis, Lou Barlow, Keepaway, Ozma, The Nervous Wreckords, The Knocks, Sleeper Agent, and Yacht Rock Review. It's like Lollapalooza on a ship!

I've always wondered what happens on these things if you're the talent. When you perform a normal concert, you run backstage when it's done or sneak out the back, and you're done. You have no further interaction with the fans. But on a cruise, you're stuck. I mean, you could stay in your cabin when you're not performing, but those things are way too tiny for that. So what do you do? Mingle with the unwashed?

For this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want you to design your own concert cruise. Tell us what bands you'd have play at your gig. And feel free to give it a cool or cheesy name!

NME Gets It Dreadfully Wrong

I'm an Anglophile, so I love NME. To celebrate the launch of their new video site, NME published a list of the Top 100 Videos Of All Time. To save you a click, here's the Top 10:

1. "Hurt," Johnny Cash
2. "Just," Radiohead
3. "Wicked Game," Chris Isaak
4. "Black Hole Sun," Soundgarden
5. "All Is Full Of Love," Bjork
6. "Everlong," Foo Fighters
7. "Buddy Holly," Weezer
8. "Sabotage," Beastie Boys
9. "Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa," Sigur Ros
10. "Smack My Bitch Up," The Prodigy

For this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want to know if you think any of these videos belong in a discussion of the top 10 videos of all time.

The Voice: Who Ya Got?

I've been watching and loving The Voice for the past two months. While it's made me long for a weekly Cee Lo Green variety show, I've also loved watching the different contestants along the way.

But tonight, it all comes to an end. A winner will be crowned. That person will walk away with $100,00 and a recording contract.

So who do you think it will be?

You can make a case for any of the four contestants:

• Javier Colon probably has the purest voice of anyone in the competition
• Dia Frampton, with her rockstar name and indie queen looks, can make any song hers
• Every time Vicci Martinez hits the stage, you know you're in for a Performance

But for me, no one can hold a candle to Beverly McClellan. I love her voice and her look, but most of all, I love her attitude. She just seems so happy, so into it, every time she hits the stage. Like it's something she HAS to be doing.

So for this week's Your Say Hump Day, we want to know who you think will win The Voice. Have your say in the comments!

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Becomes The 17th Album To Sell A Million Copies Since The Introduction of SoundScan

Lady Gaga's Born This Way sold 1,108,000 copies this week (as one of us predicted at the end of 2010), making it the 17th album to sell over a million copies in its initial week since SoundScan was implemented in 1991.

Let's have a look at the seventeen albums that have sold over a million copies during their debut week in the past twenty years:

• 'N Sync, Celebrity
• 'N Sync, No Strings Attached
• Britney Spears, Oops!... I Did It Again
• Taylor Swift, Speak Now
• Usher, Confessions

For the most part, that's an awful list, right? Who owns this crap?

Confession: I own 4 albums on this list (Gaga, Britney, and both Eminem albums).

So for this week's Your Say Hump Day, tell us how many of these seventeen albums you own.

Be honest.

Be brave.

First Look: Beyonce, "Run The World (Girls)"

Beyonce premiered her new video tonight. While I'm still not a fan of the song, I do like the video.



What do you say? Do you like the song? How about the video?

New Video: Britney Spears, "Til The World Ends"

Great. All those people are right. The world really is going to end in 2012. Britney said so, y'all.

But not before we have an epic Mad Max-style dance party in the sewers. Rock!



What do you think of the video?

Did You Think You'd Ever Want To See Another Kim Cattrall Flick?

I'm here to change your mind.

What do you think?

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.
