TheFW Staff — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 19:42:40 +0000

A recent study has shown that the faces of Lego characters are expressing a wider array of emotions than they used to, you know, since they used to only be happy. Anger, confusion, deceptively neutral -- all are making appearances.

Britt Hayes — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 20:00:06 +0000

Based on the classic pulp novels of the same name, ‘The Shadow’ starred Alec Baldwin as a hero battling a villain intent on building an atomic bomb. Since it was recently released on Blu-ray, we thought it would be fun to look back at the underrated superhero flick almost 20 years later and see what [...]

Robert Downey, Jr. Makes Kid Cry by Not Actually Being Iron Man

Emerald Catron — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:05:47 +0000

We’d probably be upset too, if somebody told us we were going to meet Iron Man, and we actually met Robert Downey, Jr. in a polo shirt … if we were 18 months old, which is why this kid is crying. If *we* met Robert Downey, Jr., we would probably just find the nearest closet to [...]

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:30:20 +0000

If you look back at childhood pictures, you’ll probably see some noticable changes. We hope, at least. Maybe you’re hairier, lost all that baby pudge or are way more of a stud muffin nowadays. Regardless, this sort of comparison can be fun, and in some cases, really funny. Internet favorite Ze Frank is the guy [...]

Dog's Anus Looks Like Man Perceived as Savior to Billions of People on Earth

Emerald Catron — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 15:20:56 +0000

We’re used to Jesus showing up in a cornflake, or a water stain. Maybe a piece of toast. Not so much a dog’s butthole. But there he is, assuming he was real and looked the way he’s been painted by a bunch of European artists. Right in a dog’s backside. It almost makes us want [...]

What Happens When a Dad Tries to Name All the 'Game of Thrones' Characters

Emerald Catron — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:15:30 +0000

The world of Westeros from 'Game of Thrones' is a big land, and it is populated by about a gazillion characters. Unless you have read the books (or, PRO-TIP, turned the captions on), it is nearly impossible to learn the names of all the people in the hit HBO show.

Prepare Yourselves for Wendy's Nine-Patty 'T-Rex' Burger

Donald Deane — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 15:02:24 +0000

First featured in a joke ad in ‘Sports Illustrated,’ Wendy’s nine-patty “T-Rex” burger is now a real thing. We can feel our arteries hardening already. Seriously, even a real T-Rex would have trouble choking this thing down. After the fictitious burger was featured in the sports magazine nine years ago, fast food customers actually started [...]

Granted, it's probably not how Peter Dinklage wants to celebrate his birthday, but this is how we want to celebrate Peter Dinklage's birthday -- with Peter Dinklage GIFs. We can think of better ways, but he's not exactly listed in the phone book (probably -- we have no idea where to find a phone book to check). We're not limiting this to 'Game of Thrones' GIFs, either -- we want to celebrate the legacy of one of our favorite actors, not just that one premium cable series he's on. There are some real treasures here, folks.

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:55:54 +0000

Made for less than $300,000, 'Swingers' was a surprise hit in 1996. Jon Favreau, the film's star, also wrote the movie about struggling actors looking for love after dark in Los Angeles and cast his real-life friends as his on-screen buddies.

'Swingers' ended up launching the careers of several actors as well as director Doug Liman, who went on to helm 'The Bourne Identity' and 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.'

See what the cast of 'Swingers' is up to these days below.

Famous Movie Dad Castings That Almost Happened

ScreenCrush Staff — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 19:40:54 +0000

For some of us, movie dads are more like dads to us than our “real” dads. So messing with them is very delicate terrain. Finding out that, say, Warren Beatty was almost Mrs. Doubtfire is like telling us all those Christmas presents from “Dad” were really from Mom — it’s a truth we almost can’t [...]
