They say that being an adult film star is tough work.
All the lights, the pressure to perform on demand in front of a crowd of disinterested crew members. Having to remember one’s lines.
It’s enough to lead an actor or actress to drink… and to drink a lot.

One of the greatest comedy movies of the 1980′s was Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy in John Landis’ classic TRADING PLACES.
For those of you too young to remember (or too old to recall, take your pick), the film was a twist on either My Fair Lady or The Prince and The Pauper (also, take your pick), with a little bit of The Sting thrown in for good measure. But where The Sting dealt with scamming money through horse racing, Trading Places did it by investing in orange juice futures
A while back, Web Watch told you HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO BOOK THE DAN BAND, as seen in The Hangover. Or, if you really want to relive the entire HANGOVER movie trilogy, Web Watch mentioned how much it would cost you to BOOK ZACK GALIFIANAKIS or KEN JEONG.
But maybe, just maybe – you’re a bit more sophisticated than that.
Maybe you have $20,000 burning a hole in your pocket and you don’t know what to do with it.
They say that women look best when they just awake in the morning, all tussled and rubbing that sleepy eye crud off their faces.
But fantasy women? That’s a different story.
How well do you know your pornography?
More specifically, how well do you know your porn stars?
Sure – we’ve all played those “NAME THAT BOOB” game, and who could forget this song?

The Academy Awards are an interesting concept.
It’s not unusual for participants in an individual industry to receive awards for outstanding work in their respective fields. Web Watch is no stranger to this, having received a few well-deserved (if we do say so ourselves) awards ourselves over the years.
But the Academy Awards – the Oscars – and its brethren the Emmys, Tonys, and to a lesser extent the Grammys – that EGOT quad-award — are as unique an award presentation as any.
Not because there is such a thing as recognition of an acting job done better than others, but it’s the sheer over-the-top spectacle of a single industry celebrating the “art of making movies” (or TV shows, or Broadway productions, or music) where they believe that the entire world wants to see them present each other with awards for being able to cry convincingly on camera under a set of hot lights.

We’re now deep into New Year’s Resolution time, with the most popular resolution being “to lose weight”.
And what better way to motivate your man (or your woman) than encouraging with a “if you meet your goal, I’ll / You’ll wear THIS” reward?
Hey, for the movie nerd in your life, that’s the best kind of motivation there is! It’s all about gamification.

Have you heard about THE DELI MAN?
It’s a film currently in development that focuses on ZIGGY GRUBER, the owner of KENNEY AND ZIGGY’S DELICATESSAN in Houston.
That’s right, Houston Texas has Jewish delis. Who knew?
How many times have you sat down to watch a TV show and say to yourself, “These people are idiots – even I know that [fill in the blank] will never work!”
Web Watch sees this all the time, where some character goes on and on about some topic that Web Watch happens to know everything about, and the writers just get it all wrong!
We get it – TV is meant to be entertainment, but sometimes some basic research can make the script just that much more believable to those of us at home who actually do know what we’re talking about.
Ask pretty much anyone about their birthday, and we can be fairly certain that the person you’re asking will be able to tell you about any number of famous people who share birthdays on the same day.
“Harrison Ford!”
“Abraham Lincoln!”
“King Henry VIII!”
“Miley Cyrus!”
A lot of this will be printed in the paper, and the information doesn’t really change from year to year. Astrologers really have it easy, don’t they?

When you get 10,000 topless women together at one moment, it can be considered an art form.
When you get 10,000 topless women together for a protest about censorship, you get a movement. Call it GIRLRILLAZ.

We all know someone who can rattle off any movie quote, from any movie, at any time.
They’re the kind of guy that nobody really wants to hang out with… unless it’s Trivia Night at the local bar, and your normal “movie expert” is nowhere to be seen.
And then, wouldn’t you know it, Movie Quote Guy ends up winning the whole thing for you, which means that you are now obligated to invite them back to join you next week.
Dammit.
Do you have an iPad, Android tablet, or netbook? Are you glued to your iPhone, Android device, or Blackberry?
Web Watch is going to take a wild guess that you’re not just using those devices for making phone calls or using them exclusively for business.

If you’re like Web Watch, then you grew up watching the creepy black-and-white Rod Serling-hosted TV series, THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
Maybe you’ve even played the classic 1993 Twilight Zone pinball machine, or rode the TWILIGHT ZONE TOWER OF TERROR at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park…. and still have absolutely no idea about the impact that the original TV series had on America’s psyche at the time the show was on the air.
If you aren’t already familiar with the TV show, there’s no need to read any further. But, if you’re a fan… then read on.

Can you SUMMARIZE YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE in 140 characters or less?
That’s the challenge that the NEW YORKER presented to their readers the other day. More specifically, especially as STAR WARS celebrates its 35th birthday, readers needed to summarize the plot to STAR WARS.
All submitted to Twitter (which is really the only way to run a meme like this), here’s a sampling of what readers came up with:
