• Charlie Sheen’s big roast on Comedy Central is happening Monday and this new spot starring both Charlie and Martin Sheen is having us buy that it may be pretty funny.

• Apparently, hockey is cool again, between Kevin Smith’s upcoming hockey epic and the first trailer for Sean William Scott’s Goon (not to be confused with the comic), things are looking pretty violent in sports cinema.

• For those who were suckered into watching the series finale of Entourage on Sunday and got the complete lack of an ending that was given, this is how the series should have ended for everyone.

• PSA’s are all the rage these days, so isn’t it about time the web video community started mocking them? We think so, with this PSA about driving recklessly.

• People may be agains the upcoming reboot/prequel to The Thing, but this brief clip may just restore faith in the film for those.

• For those who didn’t know, there was an old rumor that Barbara Streisand surprised the cast of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in a classic blooper. That footage is finally seeing the light of day

• Those who love the new Doctor Who will love this a capella song done to the show’s theme. This time with lyrics!

• It’s a sign of hard economic times when even Doc Brown has to stoop low and act in a commercial for an Argentinian electronics store. Hey, we’re just happy to see him back doing what he loves.

• We brought you a footage-free trailer for Human Centipede 2, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the intense imagery that the first teaser brings us.

• The new Rise of Nightmares game looks so good that the video game comedy troop Mega64 is schilling it in this awesome web short. Our verdict? Sold.

• Who doesn’t love a good ol’ fashioned loop cover? We do, so check out this loop cover of the Gorillaz’ “Feel Good Inc.”

• Justin Timberlake hasn’t been around the music scene for a while, as he’s been busy boning Mila Kunis and sabotaging Facebook. These mega fans want to see him bring sexy back….again.

Perhaps you didn’t realize it but there’s a fine tradition in Hollywood of having actors say the title of the film they are in during the film itself. Sometimes, like in Hot Tub Time Machine, it’s done with a nod to the audience.

Other times, as in Terminator, it’s done in a more off=hand manner and makes sense given the situation in the story. Whetever the reasons or circumstances, this has been happening for along time and will probably go on for a long time to come.

Of course, someone has taken the time to put all these instances together in one video (two, actually). That person is YouTube’s own Honsco and we’ve got the new video, and his first one, to share with you today.

They contain a lot of our favorite movies and after seeing this repeated over 150 times it never really gets old. Check out both videos after the jump.

You remember the first Back to the Future movie, right? In it, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) went back in time to save Doc Brown and fix his parents relationship so he could be born in the future. At the end of the movie it all turned out well for him and his family and things seemed wrapped up neatly — except for that whole thing about his kids at the end.

Of course, you also remember what happened to Biff Tannen, the bad guy bully who made life hell for George McFly and by the end of the film in the present, had been reduced to a humble guy waxing Marty’s truck. Well, it seems the makers of this parody video, found over at College Humor, have other ideas in mind fo Biff.

See if you can spot the difference between how the movie ended and how this video thinks the movie would have ended. We’re pretty sure you won’t have much trouble figuring it out.

Check out the video after the break. And remember kids, time travel isn’t for everyone so please, be careful.

Welcome to another edition of  On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage during the week. Let is know if we missed something interesting.

Let’s get started!

• What if some of our favorite Oscar nominees had spot-on posters? Well, they may actually make money then…

• James Franco is such a good co-host, he’s even prepared to take Anne Hathaway down in case of an Oscar wardrobe malfunction.

• Nerdy shirts are all the rage these days, but when Star Wars meets Back to the Future, a purchase needs to be made.

• Some things need no introduction…so here’s a bunch of Muppets made out of balloons.

• You know what the world needs? A Russian MST3K ripoff. This is definitely why we won the war…

• Harry Hanrahan has brought us some pretty amazing supercuts in the past, but now….It’s Showtime!

• Why is it the US gets films like No String Attached and Just Go With It when other countries get films like Robot? It’s just unfair.

• And for your list of the week, The 10 Most Obscure Archer Jokes Explained. Enjoy!

This week on The Flickcast Chris and Matt are on duty and discussing, dissecting and, in some cases, dissing some new movies, TV shows, comics, games and geek stuff. Among the topics this week are more on The Walking Dead, the debut of Conan’s new talk show, upcoming films Skyline and Friends with Benefits, George Lucas and the new Force Unleashed II video game, the Back to the Future Trilogy on Blu-ray and the bizarreness of Robert Altman’s 1980 film Popeye.

Of course, the guys also made new picks for your enjoyment this week including Matt’s pick of the drama spoof Fatal Instinct, featuring Armand Assante and Sherylin Fenn, and Chris’ double pick of Call of Duty: Black Ops and the upcoming Skyline, which hits theaters this Friday.

As always, if you have comments, questions, critiques, offers of sponsorship or whatever, feel free to hit us up in the comments, on Twitter, at Facebook and MySpace or via email.

It’s very rare that one can have Back to the Future and almost naked models on the same page. Thanks to Playboy.com (Just like Playboy magazine but with less page turning), you can finally merge those two things in your brain.

In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the first Back to the Future film, the online adult entertainment stop put together a themed photo shoot about all things BTTF. This includes a half naked She-Marty on a hoverboard, half naked Doc She-Brown hanging from the clocktower, and a whole bunch of half naked women hanging off of a DeLorean.

We can’t decide if this is a brilliant idea, or just bastardizing a timeless franchise. In a world where sexy costumes rule, and even the Raphael of the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles isn’t safe, why can’t there be sexy scenes from Back To the Future?

Sadly, they missed a perfect opportunity to capitalize on the awkward relationship between Marty and Doc Brown around the campfire in BTTF 3. Maybe next time, Playboy.

In the meantime, you can check out the full sized one-sheet after the jump, and head over to Playboy.com for some more SFW images. Something tells us this isn’t what Huey Lewis had in mind when he sang about “The Power of Love.”

Remember when we brought you video of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly in the never before seen footage from his short lived stint in Back to the Future? Well. we’ve got more interesting tidbits from that film to share with you now.

This time it’s not Marty McFly, but rather  his father George, we’re concerned with. In the film George is played by the talented Crispin Glover and seeing the movie once it was released and subsiquently, there seems no other actor better suited for the part.

Of course, that wasn’t always the case and, like many other actors, Glover had to audition for the role and screen test to prove he could handle the complex nature of George McFly both young and old. In these two videos, we can see Glover working on his characterization of George McFly along with co-stars Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson and an unknown actor playing Marty.

The footage is not of the best quality but it does give us a peek into how actors do what they do and also demonstrates that Glover is an extremely talented guy who should get more work.

Check out the videos after the jump.

Welcome to this week’s On the Radar where we delve into all corners of the entertainment, tech and geek Internets for news, views and whatnot that may have escaped our regular coverage this week. Let is know if we missed something interesting. Otherwise, on to the links!

• South Park tears The Jersey Shore a new one . . .and we laugh like idiots.

• It was speculated for a while, but now it’s confirmed that Rhys Ifans will be playing The Lizard in Sony’s Spider-Man reboot.

• In a stroke of brilliance, Sesame Street spoofed the popular Old Spice commercials. What will they think of next?

• Confused by this season of Mad Men? Well here is the entire season broken down into 10 animated GIFs.

• Nathan Fillion has streamlined a Twitter campaign to play the lead in the upcoming Uncharted film adaptation. He’s got our vote.

• Michael J. Fox donned his life jacket and Nike’s in a spot for Spike’s Scream Awards and their tribute to Back to the Future. We’re still trying to figure out if this is awesome or a little sad…

• Darren Aronofsky is inching closer and closer to directing the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Don’t toy with our emotions, Darren!

• OK, so it may not be a list, but here’s a pretty awesome collection of some of the best last words ever uttered in film.

As Hollywood secrets go, this one wasn’t really all that well kept. Many people know that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future but after five weeks of shooting he just wasn’t working out.

So, in a rather unprecedented move at the time, director Robert Zemekis recast the role with Michael J. Fox and the rest, as they say, was history. Even at the time Zemekis thought Stoltz was a great actor but he just didn’t have the kind of comedic timing the director was looking for.

Now, with the help of the video we have for you today, you can judge for yourself if Zemekis made the right choice. In the video, which comes from the Blu-ray release of the Back to the Future trilogy, you an see Zemekis and Steven Spielberg talking about the decision.

But more importantly, you can see Stolz himself as Marty McFly. Take a look and tell us what you think. The Back to the Future Trilogy hits Blu-ray on October 26th.

If 2010 goes down in the record books as anything at all, it will be known as “The Year of Back To The Future” as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the trilogy. Not only will we be treated to a brand new Blu-Ray release of the original films on October 26th, but now we’ll be treated to a brand new video game for the franchise, as well.

From TellTale Games, the guys that brought us Sam & Max and Tales of Monkey Island, the game will come in the form of five monthly episodes, each a playable adventure featuring our favorite characters. Christopher Lloyd is returning to voice Doc Brown (because, why not?) and Bob Gale is even getting involved. From the press release:

Co-creator and writer Bob Gale’s involvement further strengthens the links to the original series.  Gale is consulting with Telltale on the characterizations and storyline for the game, ensuring it will be true to the spirit and adventure of the films.

Gale elaborates:  “Twenty-five years ago when I wrote Doc Brown’s line about ‘seeing the future,’ little did I realize that I would be traveling with him to work on this game.  Collaborating with Telltale is an amazing opportunity to continue the adventures of Doc and Marty.”

The first in the game series will be coming to us as soon as this November, and those going to PAX in Seattle this weekend will be treated to the very first look at the game. Also, shortly after BTTF is behind TellTale, word is that their next franchise to tackle in game form is Jurassic Park, so watch out for those Spitters!

In the meantime, check out the very first piece of artwork from the upcoming Back to the Future game, featuring an awesome rendering of both Doc and Marty after the jump.

There have been some pretty exciting films out this year, but there is one in particular that we’re all pretty excited about, and that’s the upcoming Piranha 3D. We recently had a chance to sit down and chat with star Elisabeth Shue (Back to the Future Part II, Leaving Las Vegas) about Piranha, gore, humor, and sex.

The Flickcast: Since seeing the trailer, this has been one of our most anticipated movies of the summer. In your own words can you give us a brief recap of Piranha 3D?

Elisabeth Shue: It’s not like anything you’ve seen before. It’s basically a roller-coaster ride of gore, and humor, and sex. It’s genuinely terrorizing, but also a lot of fun, and I’m very impressed they were able to find that medium where they could be both. Spring Break in America is so crazy and over the top, and you take that and add thousands of prehistoric fish eating them—it can’t but be incredibly fun.

FC: And your character is the sheriff who tries to maintain control while all this is going on…

ES: Yes, I’m trying to save people, and I don’t do a very good job, because so many die and in ridiculous and crazy ways.

FC: What attracted you to the project? This seems like such a radical departure from your previous work…

ES: Yes. In some ways. What Alex(ander Aja) wanted was to get lots of actors who did iconic movies in the ‘80s and ‘70s. You have Richard Dreyfuss who was in one the greatest movies of the 1970s—Jaws—who is playing (his character) Matt Hooper.
