Oh well, you can expect a results post comparing my guesses to the actual winners. Who do you guys think will take home the popcorn trophy? Tune in to the MTV Movie Awards on June 6 at 9pm!

How I Met Your Mother: The Wedding Bride



From Zap2it.com:

Around this time last year on "How I Met Your Mother," when Ted (Josh Radnor) happened to run into his ex-fiancee Stella (Sarah Chalke) on the street, we learned of a movie called "The Wedding Bride."

The film, Future Ted told us, was a romantic comedy chronicling the relationship between Stella and her boyfriend Tony (Jason Jones), written by Tony himself, and it would open in May 2010. And lo and behold, here it is.

For more on the backstory for this trailer, visit the original Zap2it.com article. 

Twilight Eclipse Soundtrack: Eclipse (All Yours) by Metric

No matter where you stand on Twilight, you have to recognize the quality soundtracks they've released. Today they're announcing the soundtrack by rolling out one track per hour on Myspace. Check out the this track by Metric:




Metric is a Canadian electro-indie rock band, with previous indie hits like "Combat Baby" and "Monster Hospital."  I was lucky enough to catch them perform in a LA a few years ago and they put on a great show! Hopefully being attached to Twilight will catapult them into the stardom their talent deserves.

Since the soundtrack is being rolled out song by song all day, I'll post the complete track listings later.
