Harry Potter and the Rated X Movie
by Emily on November 19, 2010. [Film,Smack,Smack Channels]
I’m a Potter Head through and through. I’ve read all the books over ten times, seen the movies at midnight, rewatched them to bitch at what was wrong, and even dress up as “sexy” Harry Potter. I’ve pretty much seen it all…Except this.
A part of the Potter fan inside me feels like I should be angry at how they besmirched the name of Harry Potter. But the video editor in me is saying ‘Great editing skill!” I’m just glad this isn’t a real movie.
Smart Phones Change Everything

LARPing Out Loud
Some of you have probably already heard of the concept of LARPing, aka Live Action Role Playing. This video collection is for anyone who just HAS to see more (read: all of you).

Don’t Do This In Real Life
Romantic comedies are known for the male going the distance for the female at the end of the movie. What the movies don’t tell you is that some of these “romantic actions” could land you in jail.
Here are a couple of examples.

As Seen In: Love Actually, Liar Liar, countless others
Will Get You: A year and a half in prison, depending on the charge.
“Oh it was you I was having sex with.”
As seen in: Revenge of the Nerds, Overboard, While You Were Sleeping, Only You
Will Get You: Up to 30 years in prison, depending on the jurisdiction.
Pixar Homicide
Pixar has made millions with their movies and their shorts. If you are not familiar with the Pixar opening then you clearly have been living under a rock.
Here College Humor takes a different outlook on the lamp from Pixar.
