A collectible poster debut from the boutique art purveyors over at Mondo is always an event, but this Valentine’s Day Mondo and the Alamo Drafthouse have something in store so special it’s almost… inconceivable! In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Rob Reiner’s 1987 fantasy classic The Princess Bride, the good folks at the Drafthouse have created a line of Princess Bride-themed wines (“The Bottle of Wits”) to coincide with a series of V-Day Princess Bride Quote-Along Feast events and a new illustrated commemorative poster by artist Drew Millward, which goes on sale today. Get the exclusive first look at Millward’s poster design after the jump!
[Ed.: According to Mondo the Princess Bride posters have indeed been printed with the incorrect year and will be sold as planned, warts and all.]
Even 25 years after its debut, The Princess Bride, adapted from William Goldman’s book of the same name, has sustained its place among the best-loved American romances and comedies; you’d be hard pressed to find a self-respecting film lover these days who can’t conjure one of countless iconic lines from Reiner’s film. (See Movieline’s account of LACMA and Film Independent’s magical Princess Bride live-read for further evidence.)
So it’s kind of perfect that the Drafthouse will host the Princess Bride Quote-Along Feast events this week at its six theaters in Austin and Houston on Feb. 14, in San Antonio on Feb. 15, and in Winchester, Va. on Feb. 16. What better way is there to spend Valentine’s Day than feasting on seared R.O.U.S. (“NY strip rubbed with telecherry peppercorn, mustard seed and espresso roasted medium rare in a pool of port demi, roast enoki mushrooms with mushroom risotto and grilled rapini”)…

Last week, Leighton Meester threw a lawsuit at her prison bitch mother Constance Meester (that’s Connie the Con if you’ve ever used commissary soap as pussy lube) for trying to pull $10,000 a month out of her by saying they had a verbal contract. Yeah, some “our tongues shook on it” shit. Leighton also said in the documents that she gave Connie $7,500 a month and the money was supposed to be used to care for her sick younger brother, but her mom bought a new face (Botox, etc…) and new hair (weaves, etc….) instead.
Connie is now countersuing Leighton for some shit I swear she pulled out of White Oprah’s ass. No, seriously. Connie went up to fellow pimp mom White Oprah and told her that Leighton is trying to cut her off. White Oprah calculated some things in her head and then shat out the solution: A COUNTERSUIT! Because the legal equivalent of a pimp smack is a countersuit.
E! Online says that Connie gave up her life so that Leighton could make it in the business that is show. Connie moved her family to New York for Gossip Girl and then moved them back to Los Angeles all for Leighton’s career. Like any good pimp, Connie kept track of all the cash she put out for acting classes and private schools, and says Leighton owes her $230,000.

Full Story »When fans of Wes Anderson’s 1996 debut feature Bottle Rocket heard that the iconic motel used in the film was in danger of going under, they sprung into action to save it. So this July 9, devotees will gather en masse in Hillsboro, Texas for the ultimate event, hosted by the Alamo Drafthouse: a special screening of Bottle Rocket, with co-star Robert Musgrave in attendance, held at the very same motel off of I-5 where aimless crooks Dignan, Anthony, and Bob hide out in the film.
Rooms at the motel (now a Days Inn suffering from poor sales and greater competition) are on sale for now, though tickets are currently sold out for the screening. It’s the rare chance to celebrate a film while staying at the very same location where it was filmed, and could become a recurring event. And if you can’t make it to Hillsboro for the big day, Mondo enlisted artist Rich Kelly to design these limited edition posters, the sales of which will partially go to support the cause.

Or maybe that’s a hybrid of her sexyface and doodybubbleface. Yeah, that’s probably it, because I’m pretty sure JLo injects potent Botox in her cooch so she never has to piss again! So, at the London Hotel in West Hollywood, CA today, JLo Kardashian filled the room with the toxic scent of scorched wig and burnt Styrofoam (blame the lights) while talking about her new line of “lifestyle” crap with Skeletor for Kohls. So now you know where to get a pillow case that camouflages your bronzer skid marks and a scarf that doubles as a bib you can use to wipe any virgin guts you got on your cheek while feeding.
Giving a whole new meaning “to getting pissed,” biomedical researcher James Gilpin has created a new kind of whiskey made from the urine of elderly diabetics. Cut to R. Kelly at his neighborhood bar asking the bartender for a glass of that pepaw pee pee on the rocks.
James, who is a diabetic himself, says that “large amounts of sugar are excreted on a daily basis by type-two diabetic patients especially amongst the upper end of our aging population.” James gets the piss from elderly volunteers including his own grandmama. James then purifies it the same way water is purified. Once the piss is fermented, he adds whiskey blends to give it color and flavor. James doesn’t sell his homemade bladder brew yet, but he hands it out for free at a design show in London.
James is currently working on an asparagus version for the harder drunks out there. And don’t show this to The Hoff or he will start trolling the bathrooms of diabetes centers. This is the kind of golden showers he can get into.

Now I don’t condone child or beaver abuse, but this clip of Justin Bieber getting whooped in the head with a water bottle right after telling the audience he loved them (HAHAHAHA) is the reason why we all open our browsers every damn morning.
During a concert for a radio station, some girl (who obviously has been practicing for this in her parent’s backyard all week) perfectly threw a water bottle like a champ at the Lesbeaver’s head. That girl might have forced him into an early puberty.
But seriously, Justin should be prepared for shit like this. Just one airy flip from his magical locks would’ve sent that water bottle flying right past him. Come on, Justin! Use that golden helmet of wondrous dreams to your advantage!
Obviously, Justin needs to take private dodgeball lessons from Dubya.
