Andy Samberg, Will Ferrell and J.J. Abrams Sing “Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions”
Well aside from the Bruno/Eminem incident, I’ve been told that one of the highlights from this year’s MTV Movie Awards show was Andy Samberg’s song and montage entitled “Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions”. They’ve got the video online and available outside of the U.S. so I thought I would throw it up for anyone who didn’t get a chance to see it.
I have to admit, Samberg was smart to pick up on this action movie cliche which has indeed reached a point where it is now laughable. It has become almost required for every summer blockbuster lately… when it happened in X-Men Origins: Wolverine I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. How many recent movies can you think of with characters walking away from explosions?

THAT SHIT IS TIGHT! Adam has been hitting homeruns at a surprising rate with his song parodies and work with Justin.

Posted by trev in st.cloud on June 2nd, 2009Dude, you NEVER look at explosions. Everybody knows that. It’s one of the first things a man teaches his son… unless he wants him to grow up to be some kind of a fairy.
Please recognize that this list is not exhaustive:
1) Never hit a woman (unless she is a ninja).

3) Always carry cash; and
4) NEVER look at explosions.
ahaha at mark wahlberg!!
Posted by bell on June 2nd, 2009It gets worse when that’s how they advertise the movie. Both Syriana and The Matador features their not looking at the explosion scenes prominently on the dvd artwork/ trailers.
