IFC has given us a list of 10 comedies that were initially shunned but now have gained a cult following. I personally haven’t seen all of these movies, but from the ones I have [The Ten, Burn After Reading, Hot Rod], I wouldn’t mind taking another look at the other entries in this list.

Television is returning after a long holiday hiatus. And it’s time to get a plethora of new shows as well as the return of some beloved ones. And just like the Fall Check Up and Preview I did last fall, I’m here to share with you guys what I’ll be tuning into this season. Personally, it feels as though Fall TV is better than Mid-season. With greats like Dexter, It’s Always Sunny, and a couple of others having only a 12 episode run, I’ve always wondered what filled those time slots in the Spring. After doing a little research, I’ve seen that there are gems that I haven’t quite uncovered yet such as: Justified, Shameless, and 30 Rock. So I’m going to be dedicating my time now to play catch up. And that’s not even counting all the new series coming out. As usual, it’s a gamble to try to get into new shows, mainly because you don’t know if it will be a waste of time or not, but I’ve got some faith in some in the appeal of some of these new shows. I’ll update you later in the season to tell you how it’s going.

To my many new followers, the weekend comics are when I compound 24 hilarious images I’ve found on the internet. These are not movie/tv related, but knowing a little bit of pop culture won’t hurt you. As I’ve experienced before, not all humor appeals to all human beings, so please be prepared for racial, gender, and inappropriate jokes. Otherwise, loosen up and put a smile on.

Go Go Gadget Badass. By Rubendevela
Inspector Gadget is another one of those characters that could be so much more badass had he not been restricted to a children’s television show. Everyone knows that. Especially artists. So let’s forget Matthew Broderick’s version for a while and escape to a more practical world for a cybernetic human. Here’s a gallery of what artists everywhere thought of when they hear the words “Go Go Gadget”

This is neither directly movie or TV related. But more than often TV and movies enforce these stereotypes, and especially reminds me of Mean Girls where they have a map of the drama in the high school cafeteria [clip below]. Hell if you don’t buy that lame excuse for a ‘bridge’, the third element in BananaFeeds Mission Statement is ‘Entertainment’. So these images are layouts of the types of people in cafeterias at ALL ages. Be entertained.

Martin Scorsese is widely regarded as one of the best directors in the industry today. You don’t need to be a film buff to enjoy most of his work, but if you are, you can appreciate it all the more. He has a large resume of impressive movies ranging from Goodfellas to Gangs of New York. He’s directed some of the most mesmerizing performances from Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio. The last Director Filmography Ranked I did was for Christopher Nolan, and like him, it’s incredibly difficult to place one movie in front of another. So I eventually had to base it more off of what I’d rewatch over and over again. Hit the jump for the [very flawed and biased] ranking of the 8 Martin Scorsese movies I’ve seen so far. Be sure to recommend to me any ones I missed. I’ve particularly heard Casino is very good.

Today’s Sunday Funnies is going to be a lot different from past Sunday Funnies. The old Sunday funnies that a gallery of 24 individual pictures that forced you to click ‘next’ for every picture to be seen. While this was beneficial for my purposes [each click was considered a view, so Sundays usually provided me with absurd amounts of ‘hits’], I personally would be turned off by the amount of work needed to simply be entertained for five minutes. So I’ve divided the 24 pictures into three pages of eight pictures each. So when you hit the jump, you’ll arrive at the first page containing 8 pictures. By clicking the pictures, you’ll be sent to the original pictures website where the image will be bigger if you have any issues reading. At the bottom of every page you’ll see a pages 1,2,3 logo, just hit the next page from where you are. As I continue to develop this site, I’ll start looking for ‘next page’ HTML and stuff to help facilitate. Thanks for your constant support and I hope you enjoy this new format!

I recently just watched Peep World out of an interest in seeing Michael C. Hall outside of serial killer form. First I’d like to say Hall doesn’t have too much range, because I still got a crazy, serial killer vibe from him as a regular house husband. But seeing the rest of the cast, Rainn Wilson as a loser brother, Sarah Silverman as the bitchy sister, and what looks like John Ralfio from Parks and Recreation as the young ambitious brother that sold out his dysfunctional family’s dirty secrets for profit in the form of a book, it reminded me of other memorable dysfunctional families I’ve seen in movies and television. Peep World had an interesting idea, but the Meyerwitz family wasn’t dysfunctional or colorful enough as it could’ve been. Here’s 6 more dysfunctional families that makes me 10x more thankful for my own. Spoilers below.

Samurai Jack is one of the few Cartoon Network series that I see as entertainment for adults. Had it not been on Cartoon Network, Jack could have been incredibly badass and not only limited to slicing robots. I have compiled deviantarts take on Samurai Jack. Interestingly enough, this could’ve been a character profile for Jack’s Nemesis, Aku. Check out the gallery below.

Of all the film award ceremonies, it is well known that the Academy Awards [Oscars] are the most prestigious. It’s great seeing everyone dressing up, everyone acting all excited, and all that award show jazz. As wound up as everyone might seem on film’s most important night, every once in a while, a very cool and memorable moment happens, whether it be an opening monologue or an acceptance speech. A while back I did an MTV Movie Award compilation of awesome moments. Below, I’ve compiled a list of videos of awesome Oscar moments [at least awesome moments when I was alive, I’m sure there’s a lot of awesome moments that spanned from the 30s to now, but I’m just not that dedicated enough to dig deep at the award speech of 1952 that shook the entire industry]. Let me know if I missed any and hit the jump to see the rest.

I tried to hard to find a clip of how Parks and Recreation Season 3 opened with an awesome ‘we’re back’ montage. So I settled for the above promo. As promised, Banana Feed has returned today, a little early than September 12, but this is simply a preliminary thing. You’re regular broadcasting will return Monday. I’m three weeks into school and I’m beginning to feel settled in again, settled enough for me to spend hours on my laptop writing about TV, Movies, and Entertainment News. Now is an absolutely perfect time to get started again with the beginning of Fall TV. If you haven’t noticed, we have a new banner, and an updated picture of Banana Feed’s mascot, Banana Movie Buff [handdrawn by myself]. Anything to keep my fanbase happy with the most aesthetically pleasing visuals. In an attempt to stir up the grand reopening of this site, I’ll try to keep up with current times and post through the weekends for the next two weeks or so. I’m really excited to get started again, let’s make this semester the best.
i haven't seen this movie in forever.

Watching the Oscars this year was an unfortunate waste of time. Everything was predictable, I was not entertained, and the hosts were lame. It’s easy to say that to improve the Oscars you should make it unpredictable, entertaining, and pick fantastic hosts. But it goes deeper than that. And with Rush Hour director Brett Ratner producing it, the Oscars has a chance to be entertaining again. Just remembering how forgettable the last Oscars was, I’ve looked into the past and looked at some o the most entertaining moments at the Oscars [see my video compilation here] and determined how the Oscars can be the best ceremony once again. Hit the jump for the list

Community was snubbed this year at the Emmy’s Nominations. What a sham. Writing, direction, acting, all of these things about NBC’s Community is Emmy worthy, but nothing. Creator Dan Harmon even commented on how he was shafted by the Emmy’s during this year’s San Diego Comic Con. He hinted at some awesome things he had planned for Season 3 and he firmly believes that he’ll get one some day and I completely agree with him. Below, I’ve listed a couple of reasons why Community shines so much. Hit the jump for the break down.

Rotten Tomatoes is a website that compiles the reviews of critics for temporary and historical movies. A simple way of demonstrating whether a movie is good or bad is evident of a movie’s ‘Tomatometer’. On the outside this Tomatometer determines whether a movie is ‘fresh’ or ‘rotten’, and the website’s frequent visitors can use this as a means of creating an opinion of the film without even watching the movie itself. Movies with a 60% and above are considered ‘fresh’ and below 60% are considered ‘rotten’. People sometimes throw this percentage and rating around as if they know how to develop an opinion on a movie. The small misunderstanding in how the percentage works marks an ignorance of how one should review a movie and in this article, I’ll try to defog the misunderstanding so that you can use Rotten Tomatoes in an effective way to help filter what movies you should watch.

Top Banana
There was nothing too big in the news today in terms of the entertainment industry. So I couldn’t come up with a powerful enough top banana or enough links to really support any story. Call it my laziness, but I still compiled a pretty sweet list of other awesome news. Be back next week when I have more stuff to say. Have a nice weekend :).

Captain America: The Last Avenger. This marks the last installment before the full length feature including Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Hawk Eye, Nick Fury and Black Widow all played by Hollywood’sA-Listers. Whew, that’s a lot of superheroes. Anyways, this feature is the story of Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, whose power is…well, being American. That doesn’t sound too convincing as an entertaining superhero movie. Wait. Maybe this is like one of those superhero movies where it’s more realistic and the hero is believable and Red Skull, the villain, is a menacing grounded mastermind whose ‘Red Skull’ is a metaphor. Oh wait, you’re telling me there are blue lasers, powers of the Gods, and a questionable German Hugo Weaving in a Red Skull…Uhhhh.

The MTV Movie Awards these days are usually full of nominations that are the dreams of tweens and pre-pubescent Justin Biebers. Beside the Twilight nominations and obvious blockbusters, the list of nominations are unprofessional and corny, including best kiss and other tweeny categories. The winners should be ashamed that they have the fan base with the maturity levels of half developed brains. The awards aren’t the reason I watch this disgusting excuse for a ceremony, but rather the programming interests me. Almost yearly, they come up with a movie mash up with a tickling host that is usually pretty funny. I was reminded of this when I compiled the Lord of the Rings Parody videos here. I’ve compiled a list of videos that display some of the more excellent moments in programming.
