Elijah Wood Can’t Look Away In Exclusive ‘Open Windows’ Poster

by 11 mins ago

When the trailer for Nacho Vigalando’s new movie “Open Windows” dropped last week, the internet got a creepy preview of a new found footage movie that’s actually about the internet.

Today, MTV is debuting an exclusive poster for “Open Windows” featuring its two stars Elijah Wood and Sasha Grey.

OPEN WINDOWS-ONE SHEET-MTV1

If you haven’t already, definitely check out the trailer below. People who know Vigalando from his cult classic “Timecrimes” have experienced the kind of delightful chills the director is capable of making.

“Open Windows” hits VOD October 2 and opens in theaters on November 7.

Today In Good News: A Sick Fan Got A Private Screening Of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’

by 13 mins ago

It’s been a pretty sobering week, and it’s nice that at least sometimes, a good gesture can break through and make people happy.

Reddit user harpster604 posted a touching story about his cousin, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, or DMD. His cousin is a huge “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” fan, but because of the disease, couldn’t actually go to the movie theater to see the new movie, despite looking forward to it all year.

But as harpster writes, that was only the beginning of the story (click here for the full post):

“Last night he actually got to watch the movie, via an iPad + HDMI cable sent to his house by Paramount! This all fell into place when I thought about posting this to reddit to see if anyone would be willing to help out. I decided to message the r/movies mods beforehand to see if this was appropriate, and to my surprise one of the mods, /u/kleinbl00, knew someone who had worked on the movie and offered to help out! Because of him and his connection, I was able to get in contact with Paramount corporate in order to make this possible.”

Harpster, who said his cousin “loved every minute of it!” also posted some pictures to Imgur of the free IPad, Paramount’s message to his cousin, and a picture of his cousin smiling in bed with a “TMNT” poster behind him. If this doesn’t make you smile, I honestly don’t know what would.

Watch Kids Reenact ‘Game Of Thrones,’ ‘True Detective’ And ‘Breaking Bad’

by 1 min ago

Just in time for the Emmy Awards on Monday, August 25, here’s this new video of kids recreating the top nominated dramas.

And boy is it a good thing that kids don’t understand subtext!

Otherwise, this cute video of kids reciting lines that their moms gave them would be their first encountered with the nihilistic principles of Rust Cohle, what “meth” is, or the real reason that Anna is so upset.

Jessie J, Ariana Grande And Nicki Minaj Drop A ‘Bang Bang’ Video Preview Inside This Beats Commercial

by 2 mins ago

The wait for Jessie J’s “Bang Bang” music video is almost over. On Sunday, August 24 after the British pop star performs at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards alongside Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, she will premiere the vid on BangBang.mtv.com. But for those who just can’t wait, it seems the trio are giving us a tease in a new Beats by Dr. Dre commercial.

The spot dropped on YouTube on Tuesday, just hours before Nicki broke the Internet with her new “Anaconda” video. The 30-second clip starts with Jessie powering up her Pink Pill XL speaker, which is available exclusively at Target. We also get a glimpse of Ariana rocking out while putting on her make-up and Nicki taking flight in a helicopter.

“It’s me starting a street party that Ariana is then going to attend, and then Nicki turns up on an amazing type of transport, that I wont give away,” Jessie J told MTV News correspondent Christina Garibaldi about the video earlier this month. “And then we all party together on a rooftop and there’s loads of dancers, there’s a dance that you can learn that I made up.”

Could that “amazing type of transport” be a chopper? We think yes.

It's up to you to decide the winners of the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards! Vote now and tune in Sunday, August 24, at 9/8c ET to see who wins at the Forum in Inglewood, California. ...

Exclusive: Listen To Four Tracks Off Of Ariana Grande’s My Everything

by 10 mins ago

Don’t let the ponytail fool you — Ariana Grande‘s My Everything marks a new level of maturity for her sound.

On Wednesday (August 20), four new songs off of the “Problem” singer’s sophomore album premiered exclusively on Arianagrande.MTV.com. And while they don’t expand the 21-year-old artist’s reach into the world of Top 40 EDM à la “Break Free,” theirs is a more subtle push — one that diehard Arianators will no doubt appreciate.

On “Why Try,” an unbridled pop anthem crafted by pros including Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder, Ariana bemoans “living like angels and devils” with some guy who simultaneously drives her insane and makes her heart skip.

Grande takes a seductive R&B turn on the Blanco-co-written “Be My Baby,” featuring Cashmere Cat, as she asks to be held, kissed, and more: “If you know how to be my lover/ Maybe you can be my baby/ Hold me close under the covers/ Kiss me boy, and drive me crazy.” She takes this theme even further on the Max Martin-co-produced “Love Me Harder,” her intoxicating, echoing duet with The Weekend, who sings about biting lips, moaning, and making it “feel like the first time” over a throbbing, midtempo pulse.

But Ariana doesn’t only signal her newfound maturity through her sexuality. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!) The Martin and Shellback-produced piano ballad “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart” — ...

Ronnie Magro Attains ‘Cool Uncle’ Status With JWOWW’s Baby

by 3 mins ago

Every family tree has at least one crazy cousin, a handful of feuding siblings and, of course, the cool uncle. And as far as JWOWW and Roger Mathews’ kin is concerned, Ronnie Magro has definitely taken the role of the latter.

The former “Jersey Shore” star recently stopped by the WOWW household to pay Jenni and Roger’s little girl Meilani a visit, and Rog could clearly sense a connection between the two. “Look who showed up to see me mommy ! UnklE roNniE!” he captioned the Twitter photo featured above.

And though Ronnie eventually had to part ways with the little one to accompany Jenni to the premiere of “Jersey Shore Massacre” (congrats, JWOWW!), he made sure to get one final shot with Meilani in which he’s dressed to the nines. “#Family #LoveThem” he captioned his Instagram post that finds him suited up in a checkered shirt, bright yellow tie and James Bond shades. It bears repeating: This is ONE. COOL. UNCLE.

Check out the photos and take a peep at JWOWW’s recent interview with Entertainment Tonight below, in which she gives a tour of the beautiful house she shares with Roger, and introduces Meilani to film.

Watch Pierce Brosnan Play Jimmy Fallon In ‘GoldenEye 007′

by 16 mins ago

For a lot of people born in the late ’80s and early ’90s, their first introduction to James Bond was the Nintendo 64 game, “GoldenEye 007.” It was an undeniably huge game that, as much as any of the movies, helped relaunch the series with Pierce Brosnan in the lead.

The first-person shooter allowed you to be James Bond, so it would stand to reason that someone who actually portrayed 007 on the big screen would be really good at the game.

But that is not the case.

Those illusions were shattered on “The Tonight Show” when Jimmy Fallon challenged Brosnan to a round of “GoldenEye,” and the former Bond actor’s skill level was about what you’d expect from your average dad.

Jessie J, Ariana Grande And Nicki Minaj Will Perform ‘Bang Bang’ At The 2014 VMAs — These Cats Are Already Dancing

by 33 mins ago

We’re primed to announce yet another 2014 MTV Video Music Awards performer — and this one’s a triple threat. Here’s a hint: She’s ready to “bang, bang into the room” and open the whole show.

Yup, Jessie J will be performing at the VMAs on Sunday, August 24 — joined by “Bang Bang” co-stars Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande — who are already slated to perform. And, get this, the trio’s performance of the hit song will be the first time ever. The Forum in Inglewood, California, may well explode.

Fresh off the “Bang Bang” video shoot earlier this month — an experience Jessie told MTV News was “hugely nerve-wracking, but exciting” — Jessie, Ariana and Nicki will be together again on the VMA stage, along with performers like Sam Smith, Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

Newly announced presenters include Gwen Stefani and Kim Kardashian.

And to make matters even more exciting, the music video for “Bang Bang” will premiere immediately after at BangBang.mtv.com.

To celebrate the British songstress’ impending stage domination (and the video’s drop, because we just can’t wait for that), we compiled some dance moves to bust out while listening to “Bang Bang” below — via cat GIFS (because why not?). Study up for VMA night!

She got a body like an hourglass/ But I can give it to you all the time

She got a booty like a Cadillac/ But I can send you into overdrive

These 7 Bryan Cranston And Aaron Paul Reunions Need To Happen Now

by 15 mins ago

The world is a cruel place.

First, it gives us “Breaking Bad.” Then, it takes “Breaking Bad” away. Then, it reunites Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul for “Barely Legal Pawn,” a new TV series where the former Albuquerque drug kingpins trade in their meth lab for a pawn shop, with an illicit (but adorable) business on the side. And then, it turns out that “Barely Legal Pawn” is nothing more than a teaser for the Emmys, and not an actual TV series.

Once again, for emphasis: The world is a cruel place.

But cruelty be damned — there has to be a way for Cranston and Paul to reunite for a longer stretch than an admittedly brilliant but sadly short six-minute video, right? Right.

World, lend us your ear and hear us out — these are seven Cranston-Paul reunions that needed to happen, like, yesterday.

1. Full Fledged “Barely Legal Pawn” Series

I mean, that was pretty damn good. How hard would it be for HBO to pump out “Barely Legal Pawn” as an eight-episode half-hour mockumentary series? Give us what we want, world!

2. A “Malcolm in the Middle” Reboot

A shot-for-shot remake of every episode, with all the same actors, except Aaron Paul replacing Frankie Muniz. Muniz can be co-showrunner with Vince Gilligan.

3. “Better Call Saul”

An actual, likely possibility, albeit not for a good little while. The “Breaking Bad” spinoff is said to feature a flexible timeline, with scenes taking place before, after and during the AMC Emmy darling. With ...
