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):

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.
