Anyone who follows The Flickcast knows I’m not the film guy by any means. I’m the video game guy. It is a rare feat to find a strong combination of the two. Portal: No Escape is one of those rare exceptions.

The world of Portal is filled with mystery and though some questions were answered in Portal 2 through the oral history of Aperture Science being explained by the recordings of Cave Johnson, many more questions remained. As a result, the world of Portal is ripe for fan fiction to fill in its many blanks.

That’s where director and editor Dan Trachtenberg’s fan film Portal: No Escape comes in. Though it doesn’t provide any new insight into the world of Portal, it gives a different perspective to its inhabitants. As seen by the events of Portal and Portal 2, the subjects who are used for testing “in the name of science” are not there of their own free will and do whatever they feel they must to escape.

Portal: No Escape follows one of these attempts. With music from Inception trailer composer Mike Zarin,  and vision from director Dan Trachtenberg, this fan film is incredibly tense and compelling and can be appreciated by those who are fans of the series or those who may have never seen it before.

Give Portal: No Escape a watch after the jump and make sure to let us know here at the Flickcast what you think of it.

Those who grew up, or even had a TV in the mid 90’s probably remember one of Nickelodeon’s most popular animated shows, Doug. The show was about a tween-aged boy who tries to make it through junior high school troubles of an evil bully, a weird older sister, and impressing the girl of his dreams. The show lasted 4 seasons until Disney bought the rights in 1996 and rebooted it. It was downhill from there.

Now, fans of the original Douglas Yancey Funnie and his gang of multicolored pals can now be seen in a new fan trailer from YouTube comedian DrCoolSex. Not only do we get the return of some nostalgic characters, but they’re even played by real folks! That’s right, a live action trailer.

Think of it like Doug meets Garden State as an older Doug returns home to reunite with his previous friends and family. Some great comedic moments in this one, so be sure to check it out after the jump.

Though the movie has been out for a week now, we wanted to make sure the majority of you saw Iron Man 2 before we posted anything else that could potentially spoil the movie. And then there’s this video.

For those of you you remember the trailer very well and saw the film, you might recall the scene where Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) kisses RDJ’s helmet and throws it off the back of a cargo plane wasn’t actually in the film. We also know how much RDJ and the rest of the cast ad-libbed while shooting.

CollegeHumor put together a great compilation of animated “alternate takes” that also didn’t make it into the film. It isn’t completely out of the question that some of these outtakes were actually shot.

They’re all pretty amusing, especially the potential to see a sequel titled Mask-O. Check out the animated clip after the jump, and you can still catch the rest of the movie (without the scene) in theaters and IMAX everywhere.

Iron Man 2 hits theaters in exactly 2 weeks, which means that you can expect to see the internet turned upside down and twisted into a gigantic Iron Man playground in that time. Not only will Paramount be sending out as much fodder for the press to chew on, but it’s nice to see that fans out there are gearing up for the sequel as well.

Over the past few weeks, YouTube author ReubenPac has been posting some great Iron Man mash ups with AC/DC tracks and other films. Jon Favreau tweeted about his Iron Man & ACDC vs. Dirty Dancing video, as well as a few less than humorous mash ups with Titanic and When Harry Met Sally.

All of the CG rendering was done by the author, and use of the Maya 3D modeling program. They’re all pretty impressive, but by far the most impressive (and the funniest) is the clip of Iron Man punching Hugh Grant in the face. It’s random, and uses AC/DC as an emphasis on how the band has become the personal soundtrack to all things Iron Man.

Check out the clip after the jump, laugh, and keep it here for more on Iron Man 2 as the May 7th release date draws near.

Since we started posting videos under our Fan Film Friday banner, some of them have been selected because they were well done and some have been because they were funny. But no matter what, they have always been entertaining. That’s just what today’s video is.

Fans of Lost have been known to take to the Internets with a plethora of fan films and bizarre edits as a show of honor to their favorite confusing sci-fi series. With that said, not many people would probably consider Lost and Miley Cyrus in the same sentence. That is, until now.

YouTube user xSoppySofax has made quite a few Lost-themed fan films, but “Hurley in the U.S.A.” may be the funniest. After the jump, check out how the user took footage of everybody’s favorite lottery winner-turned-castaway and edited it to become Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.” music video. Funny? Yes. Disturbing? Maybe.
