9 characters you didn't know share the same voice

a good one below, rest after the jump.

The Top Nine Characters You Didn't Know Shared the Same Voice

Homer Simpson and Earthworm Jim

Dan Castellaneta is, of course, the voice of the most important animated fat guy of the last two decades, Homer Simpson (Peter Griffin can suck it). And though it's a role he's played for nearly twenty years, he's also kept busy doing guest spots on TV shows, making personal appearances...and voicing beloved video game character Earthworm Jim in his cartoon and TV show.

14 actors who almost played superheros

thank god tom cruise didn't play iron man, see the rest after the jump.

Dodged Bullets: 14 Actors Who Were Almost Superheroes
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine a world that doesn’t have Christian Bale playing Batman… okay, that would probably look like the weird and wacky ’60s when Adam West was prancing about in gray tights… or maybe the adventurous ’80s and ’90s when Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney all took turns at slipping into black latex bat suits, a few of which sported nipples.

Tom Cruise as Iron Man

it was long believed that Tom Cruise would not only eventually star as Stark, but also co-produce the character’s first foray onto the big screen. Cruise’s connection to an Iron Man movie goes back to just after the turn of the century, and intensified after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man helped inject a new lease on life into the superhero genre.

jermaine from 'flight of the conchords' will play villain in MIB III

this is going to be hysterical.

Meet the New Villain in 'Men In Black III'
Flight of the Conchords stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie declined to return for a 3rd season of the HBO series, but they have been touring around the world and selling out most venues. Which bodes well for Jermaine now that he's tuning up to play the villainous Yaz in Men in Black III, the sequel that is being fast-tracked by Columbia Pictures.

Will Smith stars with Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin, and Barry Sonnenfeld directs. Clement will next be seen co-starring with Steve Carell in Dinner For Schmucks, the Jay Roach-directed DreamWorks comedy that Paramount distributes July 23. Both films are produced by Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who saw what work Clement was doing on Schmucks and lobbied for him to join MIB3.

what makes a man, mr. lebowski?

LEBOWSKI
Funny–I can look back on a life of achievement, on challenges met, competitors bested, obstacles overcome. I’ve accomplished more than most men, and without the use of my legs. What? What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?

DUDE
Dude.

LEBOWSKI
Huh?

DUDE
Uh, I, I don’t know, sir.

LEBOWSKI
Is it being prepared to do the right thing? Whatever the cost? Isn’t that that makes a man?

DUDE
Ummm..sure. That and a pair of testicles.

LEBOWSKI
You’re joking. But perhaps you’re right.

hilarious new movie: four lions

i can't wait for this to come out, looks pretty damn funny.

Chris Morris’ hilarious film called Four Lions follows a group of British jihadists as they set out to plan a big terrorist plot, only to find out that they all don’t seem to be on the same one-track mind. The hilarious comedy is screening at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and in the clip above, you can get a sense of how awkwardly funny this movie is going to be.

"The Hangover 2" Script halfway completed

hell yea, should be sweet. i suggest amsterdam?
Hangover 2 Script Half Finished, Moving Out of Vegas
The Hangover director Todd Phillips gave the low down on the status of a sequel. He’s currently midway through the script, although no plot details are known yet. Phillips mentioned that he was thinking of ideas for a sequel while they were filming, and that Warner Brothers asked for a sequel as soon as they saw how well the film tested. He also promises that Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis will definitely be returning for another adventure.

Phillips went on to confirm that Hangover 2 won’t reuse the plot of the first film (don’t be surprised if an alcohol-induced headache remains a key component), and it will have an entirely new setting.

"Changing locations was definitely the first thought that popped into my head when we first started hearing talk of a sequel, and I won’t be surprised if they end up focusing on another party-capital location. Hangover in the Big City? Big Hangover in Little China (with a Kurt Russell cameo, of course)? Something Something Hangover Miami? Surely, the possibilities are endless."
