screencap Friday: what the flick? #128
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t … more…

wtf: “Megan Fox Reveals She Wore 18-Inch Corset in New Flick”
Holy crap. I saw this headline the other day and I was going to relegate it to this upcoming weekend’s Leftover Links… and then I saw the movie, and saw exactly the kind of torture that Megan Fox had to endure during shooting.
