What Probably Happened After These 9 Movies Ended

May 21st, 2013 12:00pm EDT
After Die Hard
When a movie is so good that it completely pulls you into its universe, it's only natural to wonder what must have happened after the credits rolled.
Thankfully, we've followed some of your favorite movies through to their logical next steps so that when you watch them again on DVD or at their inevitable 3-D re-release, you won't have to waste mental energy asking questions like "Whatever happened to that guy?" and can move on to more important stuff like "What's the meaning of life?" and "Who the hell ate my Girl Scout cookies?"
Check out the illustrated speculations below, courtesy of our...

Here is Patton Oswalt's Famous 'Star Wars' Filibuster, Animated

May 21st, 2013 11:57am EDT
Patton Oswalt
As soon as Patton Oswalt opened his mouth that day of production on "Parks and Recreation," you knew this would happen. So did I. So did your mom. Ask her. I'll wait.
...
See? I told you! This is why the internet's great. That rhymed.
Indeed, some anonymous cartoonist/video editor that you will never know made an animated version of Patton Oswalt's filibuster-inspired plot for "Star Wars: Episode VII," and the magic that existed only in our minds from Oswalt's dramatic narration of the film now exists forever on the internet as an eight-minute video. This is the world we live in now. Think ...

'As Cool As I Am' Trailer: Claire Danes is a Sucky Mom

May 21st, 2013 11:51am EDT
In real life, Claire Danes is probably a fantasmically excellent mother. However, her character in this new trailer for "As Cool As I Am" needs a 'lil help.
Fellow junkies of the "My So-Called Life" series — which, seriously, how in the world was that show just one season? — will remember a younger Danes as the sullen Angela Chase, dying her hair (much to her mother's chagrin) and desperately trying to find herself a comfy corner in the universe while hoping above all hope that the hot guitar guy at school might one day pay her just an ounce of attention. Ah, hormones.
Cut back to the prese...

Damon Lindelof Sorry for Alice Eve 'Star Trek' Underoo Scene

Paramount

Apart from putting Alice Eve's rockin' abs on full display, what was the point of that skivvy scene in "Star Trek Into Darkness"?
It had to have a point right? 'Cause, you know, they put it in the trailer and used it for their little poster link scavenger hunt thingymajig in addition to including it in the movie and all...
It's a totally debatable issue, considering it's a throwaway cut-away in the film, but even writer-producer Damon Lindelof has decided to cry "uncle" and now admits to regretting the scene in question, nerdy lust points earned notwithstanding.

New 'Wolverine' Trailer Rocks. Finally.

May 21st, 2013 10:06am EDT
Hugh Jackman
Ever have one of those dreams where you're totally macking on this hot mutant, only then it turns out she's dead, mainly because you killed her with your huge metal claws, and then you wake up and it's all some sort of uncomfortable metaphor?
Man, we hate it when that happens. Except when it happens in the new YouTube trailer for "The Wolverine." Then it's totally awesome.
Yes, folks, the July 26 release of the somewhat anticipated new Hugh Jackman superhero epic "The Wolverine" is fast approaching, but 20th Century Fox isn't taking anything for granted. That's why they've put out a new tr...

National Lampoon's Vacation
Warner Bros.

There are few activities more American — and none more excruciating — than a good ol' family road trip across this giant boring country of ours. And the brilliant comedy "National Lampoon's Vacation," which is getting a newfangled 30-year anniversary Blu-ray release this week, sums up those carsick sensations of summer with pitch-perfect gags.
Based on an autobiographical short story in National Lampoon magazine, John Hughes' hilarious screenplay eloquently expresses the universal truth that nothing drives a family apart faster than a long drive together. So with this cl...

Here is a Dog Crying While Watching 'The Lion King'

May 20th, 2013 5:16pm EDT
The Lion King
Above, we have what Sarah MacLachlan has been drearily chanting about for twenty years in between otherwise-happy stuff on your television set — a dog being forced by its owners to watch the saddest scene in Disney movie history, when Simba tries in vain to wake up his deceased father Mufasa in "The Lion King." Needless to say, the dog is upset by the proceedings of the Circle of Life, as we all were once upon a time.
Admittedly, however, we are finding it somewhat difficult to believe this particular dog. Is it really upset? Or did it just notice that a camera was pointed at its face (at t...

Seth MacFarlane has decided not to host the Oscars again ... again.
Last month, 2014 Academy Awards producing duo Craig Zadan and Neil Meron all but begged the "Family Guy" funnyman to come back for another turn on the Oscars stage after he'd already said "no way" to the idea before — it was on Twitter, but it was still a definite answer — and while he has admitted to at least considering a second chance at the job of mocking celebutantes as they collect Hollywood's most elite prizes, it's just not going to happen.
