Cow Films, 'V' On ABC And Sesame Street In Today's Twitter-Wood

4 November 2009 4:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Cow films appear to be the official successor to the unseen prequels tag that was trending on Twitter earlier this week. Both Jon Favreau and Steve Agee made contributions today, while John August offered some criticism of ABC's new "V" series and Brian Lynch commemorated the 40th birthday of "Sesame Street."

In the "Twilight" neighborhood of Twitter-Wood, meanwhile, Peter Facinelli discussed an accidental oversleeping incident that resulted in a late arrival on-set. David Slade responded by thanking him for not ever being late during "Eclipse." Check out all of those tweets after the jump. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for November 4, 2009.

It's always funny when Charlie dances-phia

3 November 2009 11:41 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Usually, during the Tuesday-afternoon slump between Dancing With the Stars installments, I get all wriggly and irritable and do not have "beautiful lines" as I start  jonesing for my next fix of sophisticated televised dancing. This video featuring all of Charlie Day's dance moves from seasons 1-5 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has really calmed me down. He is such an elegant technician. Charlie's white long johns while he's in bed with a pooping Danny DeVito even resemble a primo ballerino's footed performance tights. He takes my breath away with his balance. Still, even though this is ostensibly a video about dancing, »

New York City & Philadelphia Go Head-To-Head In The World Series -- And In Cinema History!

28 October 2009 2:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

The New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies aren't exactly the fiercest of rivals, but there is sure to be blood — or maybe just some home runs, botched calls and heated arguments with umpires — when the two baseball teams collide for Game 1 of the World Series this evening (so long as the rain stays away that is!).

As New Yorkers and Philadelphians prepare for battle, we got to wondering about some of the other rivalries already in place between the two cities — in motion picture form, that is. I'm not necessarily talking about fictional competitions between NYC and Philly, so much as stacking movies set in those cities against one another.

Through that framework, you'd be surprised at how many competing movies there are between the Empire and Keystone States — just hit the jump and see the head-to-head match-ups for yourself!

'Eclipse' Actress' Site Gets Hacked, U2 And More Halloween Costumes In Today's Twitter-Wood

26 October 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

"Eclipse" actress Jodelle Ferland claims that hackers descended on her website, which would explain the disarray currently on display if you visit Jodelle-Ferland.net. Her "Twilight" series costar Ashley Greene seemed to be having a much better weekend, however, taking in the U2 concert at the Rose Bowl Sunday night. Greene was joined by Danny DeVito, Demi Moore, and a host of others who tweeted pictures from the night.

Elsewhere, Tom Felton and Emmy Rossum are still undecided on their Halloween costumes, but Felton has officially nixed a Dalmation outfit and Rossum may be warming up to Pippi Longstocking. Check out what they had to say after the jump along with Edward Norton doing yoga, Billy Burke's "Harry Potter" shout-out and Stephen Fry's new secret video game role. It's all in the Twitter-Wood report for October 26, 2009.

Comedy Central Grabs 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' For Syndication

22 October 2009 9:07 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

For the first time ever, a cable network, Comedy Central, has syndicated a sitcom from another cable network, FX in this case.  Comedy Central has purchased the syndication rights to the bizarre and riotously funny It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia series from FX Channel.  The deal will begin with a limited run beginning next summer, and then beginning in 2011 the long-term deal will take effect which will include the currently airing fifth season of the show, and the already picked up sixth and seventh seasons which will air first on FX before being syndicated to Comedy Central.  This will bring a grand total of at least 84 episodes as part of the syndication deal.

Behold, our new 2nd home on Comedy Central!

Steve MacDonald, Evp, General Sales Manager, Basic Cable of Twentieth Television said, "Crossing a series from one hugely successful cable brand to another speaks volumes to the show's loyal viewers and skyrocketing ratings. »

Josh Duhamel's Got Disney Under His Pretty Thumb

15 October 2009 6:59 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

I think I might have figured out a spoiler for one of 2010's most anticipated movies. No, not Iron Man 2 or the next Twilight movie-- I'm talking about When in Rome, the Kristen Bell romantic comedy about a woman who's chased down by a bunch of romantic suitors. Wait... When in Rome is a movie you've never even heard of? Well, how about I tell you that Josh Duhamel absolutely must be the guy she gets with in the end, based on the fact that he's starring in another new film from Disney, which must mean they're banking on his star power from When in Rome, and only the male lead gets that kind of treatment. Oh, so you've already assumed based on the fact that Bell is also pursued by Will Arnett, Dax Shepard, Jon Heder and Danny DeVito, that pretty boy Duhamel must inevitably be the guy she »

DVD Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Season 4

29 September 2009 10:31 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

As is custom in the television industry, just in time for the start of Season 5 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, FX unleashed the DVD set of Season 4. The season’s home video release is the lightest for the series yet, with only 13 episodes (two comprising an extended episode – “Mac & Charlie Die”) and minimal special features, but fans of the Seinfeld-like misadventures of Philadelphia’s biggest assholes will be too busy laughing at the show’s infamous politically incorrect humor to care. For those not quite up to speed, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia follows the dimwitted ideas – that often turn into even worse situations – of a gang of horrible (and horribly funny) “friends” – Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Sweet Dee Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), her brother Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and their equally deranged father Frank (Danny Devito) – who own and operate a crappy ... »

DeVito 'Tweets' About Kardashian/Odom Wedding Ruckus

29 September 2009 1:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Movie star Danny DeVito had to grin and bear it on Sunday when neighbour Irving Azoff's Hollywood home became a media mecca for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's wedding.

The couple exchanged vows before a host of celebrity guests - and turned the quiet neighbourhood into a hotbed of paparazzi and news helicopters.

Taking to his Twitter.com account, DeVito posted, "Helicopters just arrived for Odom/Kardashian wedding. There goes a quiet Sunday."

But the pint-sized star couldn't stay mad for long, adding, "Congratulations. And speak up when you make the toast." »

Pee Wee Herman And An Open Makeout Invitation From Simon Pegg In Today's Twitter-Wood

23 September 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

It was an epic day of awkward headshots in the Twitter-Wood feed today, so go click on the photo links knowing full well that you are about to see some rare sights. Pee Wee Herman, Paul Reubens' recently revived alter-ego earned top honors for a shot posted by Andy Milonakis, but Alyson Hannigan, Danny DeVito and Ice-t all jumped in the running too.

None of them, however, openly invited New Yorkers to walk up to them on the street and receive a kiss, though, which is cannot be said of Simon Pegg. You can find a link to that warm proposition along with Rachelle Lefevre's thoughts on "The Biggest Loser" and Rose McGowan's take on getting beat up. There's all in the mix for the September 23 Twitter-Wood report.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 5 Premiere: Still Fresh with Hard-Hitting-Topical Humor

18 September 2009 6:44 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

The averages don’t lie. Most shows suffer from cancellation-itis by season 3. Just getting to season 3 is an accomplishment, surpass 3 seasons and your show is undoubtedly a hit. "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one show that’s been a hit since day one. Now in its fifth season, the Sunny gang, helmed by creator Rob McElhenney, is all set to deliver more uproarious laughs without the pesky confines of political correctness. And, if you had the crazy notion that Sunny would be one of those comedies at risk from slow-death syndrome – think again. The Season 5 Premiere proved that rules could still be broken with a little creativity and the balls to push the limit. Season 5 Episode 1, “The Gang Exploits the Mortgage Crisis,” deals with just that – the mortgage crisis. Frank (Danny DeVito) decides to take advantage of the depressed real estate market by buying a ... »

Matt’s Preview for the New Season of It’S Always Sunny In Philadelphia

17 September 2009 5:07 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

By a time a show reaches its fifth season, it’s in an awkward place.  It’s established what made it popular but if it keeps using that established trait, then the show gets stale, it dies, and too many shows avoid this natural selection by either indifferent audiences who don’t want any evolution in their show or by networks who are too scared to replace it with a new show that may not even build up an audience in the first place.

So where does “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” go?  We know it’s meaner than hell, features the most unlikable cast possible, and pushes its characters to unbelievable stupidity.  Well, as it turns out, they can perfect all this and then up their game by having the actors announce that they’ve just mastered comedic performance.  Hit the jump to find out why the newest »

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the FX comedy that swings big and consistently connects in a game where there are no foul lines, returns tonight at 10 p.m. Et for its fifth season of fun. If you are a fan of the laughing and have not yet met the Paddy's Pub gang, It's Time. Seriously. Watch the show.

Then, on the flip side, you've got an episode »

TV Review: ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Deserves Growing Buzz

17 September 2009 10:18 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Thanks in part to extreme popularity online at sites like Hulu and a few great season box sets, FX Networks’ “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” has become a cult comedy hit. People who love the misanthropic freaks of “Philly” truly Love this show and they won’t be disappointed by a great season premiere.

Television Rating: 4.0/5.0 A descendant of the humanity-hating style of “Seinfeld,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” is fearless, clever, and very funny TV comedy. It started a little rocky, but when the talented writers and cast of “Sunny” gave up even remotely trying to make their characters likable, they discovered that there’s humor in hatred. Charlie (Charlie Day), Mac (Rob McElhenney), Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank (Danny DeVito) aren’t your average TV idiots - they’re the kind who could kill you with their stupidity and not lose a wink of sleep. »

Road Trips, Gypsies, and Duels: An Advance Review of Season Five of FX's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"

16 September 2009 11:54 AM, PDT | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »

There's a chaotic energy to the raucous comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia that's missing from the airwaves between seasons. The gleefully surreal series excels at creating uncomfortable and often exaggeratedly absurd scenarios for its quintet of selfish, self-absorbed lowlifes. Fortunately, the gang from Paddy's Pub returns tomorrow evening for a fifth season that's overflowing with painful humor, bizarro plots, and one of the funniest things I've seen on television all year. (No small praise that.) I had the opportunity a few weeks back to watch the first four episodes from Season Five of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I quickly devoured them in one marathon sitting that had me hungry for more. In its four seasons to date, Sunny has taken an extreme pleasure in making its leading characters as depraved and egocentric as possible. Like Seinfeld before it, these are some rather obliviously inconsiderate individuals; however I »

Our brothers and sisters over at TV Squad have busted through the boob tube and brought with them the following juicy bits of must-see eye candy.

As I'm sure we've all heard by now Paula Abdul is leaving American Idol and her replacement is going to be Ellen Degeneres. Lots of folks have been saying that the last season of Heroes wasn't so hot, and NBC seems to agree. Is TV dying? Jay Leno seems to think so. Fox is making a TV series based on the Texts From Last Night website. The recent issue of Entertainment Weekly actually carries forty minutes worth of video previewing CBS's Fall line up. ...and finally, and you know you've been waiting for this, here's Danny Devito naked.

Tiff Review: Solitary Man

13 September 2009 6:10 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »

Solitary Man Directed by Brian Koppelman & David Levin Starring Michael Douglas, Mary-Louise Parker, Susan Sarandon, Jenna Fischer, Danny Devito and Jesse Eisenberg Directed by Brian Koppleman and David Levin, who wrote Rounders and Ocean's Thirteen, Solitary Man is a film about a guy who reaches a crossroads in his life and systematically destroys everything around him. The film opens and we meet Ben (Michael Douglas), a used car dealer that has a knack for chit-chat, at his doctor's office and we hear what could possibly be bad news as his doctor mentions something about his heart and the sound fades out during the conversation and we cut to 6 years later.  Now we find that Ben's life has changed dramatically.  He's divorced, he's a womanizer, he has an estranged relationship with his daughter, he's unemployed due to a scandal and some jail time and he has a new attractive girlfriend. He takes his girlfriend's daughter, »

'Eclipse' Problems On Set, 'New Moon' And Coconuts In Today's Twitter Wood

11 September 2009 5:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

"Twilight" frustrations bubbled up in the Twitter-Wood feed today, though I'm not sure what some of them were about precisely. David Slade reiterated his irritation at planes flying over his "Eclipse" set, which may have been compounded by problems involving goats. Meanwhile, Christian Serratos cryptically sounded off with her desire to see "New Moon," which apparently she is not allowed to do quite yet.

Elsewhere, photos from Eliza Dushku and Emmy Rossum showed up with flannel shirt thoughts and a mysterious coconut left in the back of a taxi cab. You really don't know where that's been, Emmy. (Be safe.) Sarah Silverman wins the Twitter Pic of the Day award, though. Click on down, and I think you'll see why. It's in the Twitter-Wood report for September 11, 2009.
