Today’s golden age of cinema (hahahah) will never forget Michael Bay, who proves that you can make multimillions and score Oscar nominations. Take that, The Reader!

More than 24 hours has passed since I watched the new Adam Sandler movie Jack and Jill and I am still dead inside.

Mary F. Poals, top film critic for TIME Magazine This is how TIME Magazine’s movie review for Jack and Jill begins. Want more?

Why.
The Museum would love to hold an interview with Adam Sandler where we solely discuss the thought process that went into deciding that this was a good idea, the studio execs who felt that this was a smart film to make and push out right before the holiday season, and how Happy Gilmore is more dead than ever before.

Per usual, the Museum looks to bring you further proof that we are beyond post-modernism… we are in the era of post-irony.
…Where the irony is a joke on the irony, where it is for the sake of the irony, where everything is meta-everything and nothing is genuine, or is it, thus further reinforcing that its reality is arbitrary and acknowledging this is inherently ::gasps for air:: post-ironic.
P.S. In case you actually cared to know what this movie is “about”, here’s a synopsis:
In this non- stop hilarious ride we follow a struggling Movie Studio that is willing to do anything to make a buck even if it means ruining its reputation, and running the Movie Industry into the ground. This film has everything that an audience wants from a LAUGH OUT LOUD COMEDY by taking a no-holds barred attack on the Spoof Genre from Blockbuster Action movies to Dramas and Documentaries to Popular Television shows.
Again, just to reiterate, it’s a spoof film about spoof films.
Just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page here.
Post-irony is here! / We told ya so!
<3, MoMA-rtifacts
While we here at the Museum are unfamiliar with the film Captivity, we must say that it sounds like a real winner.

Here for your viewing pleasure is a film that shall go down in history for, well, absolutely nothing.
Three cheers for “Gnomeo and Juliet”, a new 3D take on the Shakespeare play that features garden gnomes as the main characters. Good god.
It’s here, it’s here! The trailer for the documentary that you didn’t know was coming but should’ve known was coming… presenting: DAMN!, a film all about Jimmy McMillan and his run for the Governor of the State of New York through his ‘Rent is 2 Damn High’ Party campaign / platform.
Here’s a notable blurb about the film:
Thanks to 91 intrepid investors, filmmakers Aaron Fisher-Cohen and Kristian Almgren received just enough funding over Thanksgiving to finish editing their McMillan-centric documentary, DAMN!
Their goal now is to finish the editing process in the next couple of months, with eyes on debuting the film at SXSW in March. But won’t the Jimmy McMillan hype-machine be out of gas by the time 2011 arrives, if it isn’t sputtering on fumes already?
“Great art is often timeless,” Cohen wrote. “I don’t expect Jimmy McMillan to be very popular upon the release, but I don’t think that will hinder our story, or who he is as a person, which is what will make this film great.” [Movieline]
“Great art is often timeless” is clearly the perfect description of not only this film but of the entire Jimmy McMillan / “Rent is 2 Damn High Party” / “NY State Governor’s race” / “the state of politics in America” story.
