A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The upcoming print edition of Empire Magazine has a couple of cool new pictures from The Incredible Hulk. Looks like William Hurt makes a kick-ass General Ross! Rumor is that a sequel to The Last Starfighter is on the way, focusing on the son of the titular character from the first movie, and featuring the talents of the original writing, directing, and acting......

The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you. Some big awards and award nominations came out yesterday and this morning. We've got the Golden Tomatoes (via Jill) from Rotten Tomatoes, celebrating the highest rated films of 2007, the Razzie nominations, honoring the worst movies of 2007, and finally, some little dinky awards called the Oscars. Meanwhile, video games, not to be left out, are getting yet......

Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2008 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know! 10. Jumper - Yeah, I know it stars the whiny Darth Vader, but it's also got Sam "Motherfucking" Jackson, and a screenplay co-written by David Goyer about a war between teleporters and those......

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With - Jeff Garlin plays a rather pathetic Chicago actor who lives with his mother, and who, in the opening scenes of the film, gets dumped by his girlfriend, loses a part to Aaron Carter, and leaves an Overeaters Anonymous meeting to go to an ice cream parlor. When he falls for a girl there (Sarah Silverman), it could mean......

The best of the internet, squirted out in flavorful neon globules, just for you. Heh heh. Hearing somebody actually try to pitch some classic video games of the past makes you realize how insane the premises of some of them really are. (Via) Yay! 1UP has more terrible video game box art for us (via)! Meanwhile, Yahoo has the Top 10 Cheesiest Classic Game Commercials (via). You'd be surprised and amused by what odd combinations......

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. Most Likely to Suck: Even Money - Lot of red flags on this one: it's an ensemble drama (ick), it's a message film (ugh!), AND it's about a seemingly unrelated group of people whose lives all end up intersecting (argh!!). And, indeed, the news from the tomatoes is not good. It may star Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito, Kelsey Grammer, Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker, and Jay Mohr,......

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. The King - Another Film Festival movie we missed, this looks to be a very intense and dramatic film about family, passion, and revenge, starring Gael Garcia Bernal as Elvis Sandow, a young man who gets released from the Navy and heads out to find the father he never knew. The father (played by the fantastic William Hurt) turns out to be an evangelical pastor in......
