Five Random Things I Found On The Internet This Week
1. This very funny spoof trailer for Every Academy Award Winning Movie Ever. LEAD FEMALE'S NAME! Catchphrase!

2. This fabulous collection of rarely seen or unusual photos of Marilyn Monroe. As I think I've mentioned before, it's well worth bookmarking and easily my favourite photo blog on the internets.

3. Cherry Bomb video. At the risk of turning this into a Dakota Fanning / Kristen Stewart-heavy blog this week (see Eclipse trailer below), there's this fabulous video for Cherry Bomb from the upcoming film The Runaways, which I featured in the Films I'm Looking Forward To section a couple of weeks ago. For comparison's sake, there's also this video (and several more on YouTube) of the real life band playing the same song. The likeness between Joan Jett (briefly glimpsed, in red) and Kristen Stewart is striking, while Fanning definitely seems to have all the moves down for Cherry Currie. I really can't wait to see this.

4. This excellent new poster for Toy Story 3, making it look as if all the characters are crammed into a toy chest. It's worth clicking through the other photos in that collection to see images of the new characters in the film, such as Twitch and Ken.

5. The John Hughes memorial montage from the Oscars. The clips start at 2:05, but it's worth watching the whole thing for the introduction by Molly Ringwald (still hot) and Matthew Broderick and then the moment when the Breakfast Club are reunited on stage at the end. Yes, that really is Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael Hall.You'll get old one day too, you know.

Trailerwatch: The Twilight Saga – Eclipse
Attention, Twilight fans! This week saw the release of the trailer for Eclipse, widely regarded as the best of the Twilight books, at least according to my extensive research of asking a couple of, ahem, Twi-hards. It's a short trailer rather than the usual two and a half minutes but there's enough here to get excited about, assuming you made it beyond the words “The Twilight Saga”. The plot seems to hinge on three key elements. First, the return of the Volturi, led by tiny but deadly Dakota Fanning. To my mind, Fanning was the best thing about New Moon, so this is already a good thing. Apparently they're not pleased that Bella's not a vampire yet and intend to do something about it, Volturi-style.

Secondly, there's the return of flame-haired evil vampiress Victoria and the trailer reveals what she's been up to since the end of the first film: she's been morphing into Bryce Dallas Howard (taking over from Rachelle Lefevre) and practising her long-jumping skills. And thirdly, Bella has to wrestle with two huge decisions: 1) Team Edward or Team Jacob (the trailer knows its market – Taylor Lautner's shirt comes off at the 1 minute 20 second mark) and 2) if she picks Team Edward, should she become a vampire? There's also the whole thing about her choice potentially igniting a war between the vampires and the werewolves, but the trailer doesn't mention that, for some reason. It opens in the US on June 30th and the UK on July 9th.
