There are no words. Unless, that is, you count the words to the theme song for Snot Bubble Boy, a short animated film that premiered last week at the Phoenix Film Festival before bursting on the scene at this week's Florida Film Festival. Two things: 1) You will have this jingle stuck in your head for hours to come, and 2) the campaign to qualify this for consideration, nomination and live-TV mention on Oscar night starts right... now.

At the beginning of the trailer for The Best and the Brightest, Neil Patrick Harris is just struggling to get his daughter enrolled in a good kindergarten program in New York. By the end he's a famous poet reading sleazy text messages from a friend to an enraptured upper-class audience. How did we get here?

A new trailer for JJ Abrams' Super 8 has been making the rounds on television, and while it mostly underscores the creepy ET vibe of the earlier Super Bowl spot, it also deepens the mystery of exactly what was in that Air Force transport train and why people keep disappearing. Take a look below!

As the gimlet-eyed Jen Yamato reported from WonderCon, Warner Bros. unveiled additional footage from the new Green Lantern movie that polled better than the admittedly-bad first trailer. But for those of us not lucky enough to make to San Francisco, that footage has made its way online. Check it out below!

Already sick of next year's April Fools' Day? Renew your faith with this Funny or Die preview for Rebecca Black's "Friday" film adaptation, Sunday Comes Afterwards, which sounds like a delightful Tennessee Williams tale. Unfortunately, it's an apocalyptic thriller. The lack of Auto-Tune during Rebecca's triumphant call of "I don't want this world to ennnnnd" is a cinematic touchstone for the ages.

If you've ever found yourself wondering why Anchorman 2, Wedding Crashers 2 and Zoolander 2 never came to fruition, perhaps watching the new trailer for The Hangover Part II will clear things up. Maybe it is a good thing Paramount never wanted to spend money on the Channel 4 News Team.

This seems annoying at first, but trust me when I say it takes 20 seconds for this ditty entitled "Quack Attack" (by the august rapper Lil Deuce Deuce) to bloom into the funniest video -- let alone Mighty Ducks tribute -- I've seen in the past month. And this month is almost over! That's 30 days of supremacy. Please enjoy this triple deke of hysteria, and prepare to suffer a coronary when Kenan Thompson comes up.

You'll recall that we're excited for Winnie the Pooh. The cuddly bear with very little brains is always a good candidate for reanimation, and this new version seems to strike a sentimental note. In this new clip, let's watch as the ineffably moronic Piglet tries to save his friends from a pit using flowers. Oh, and Zooey Deschanel amplifies the cuteness with a piano jam.

Click through to watch the pair lament their failed experiences on Hollywood's biggest night.

Sure, Chris Hemsworth might have gotten so big he broke his costume; and yeah, his character Thor wields the powers of the gods. But apparently, anyone who wants to take the mighty warrior out just needs a taser. At least, that's the case in this first clip, in which Thor staggers and grunts incoherently before invoking the wrath of Kat Dennings. It seems like those giant monsters in the trailer don't have a whole lot of work cut out for them... unless their monster hands are too big to weild tasers.

Since so many folks opted to stay home and wash their hair in lieu of buying a ticket to Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, here's a chance to see what you missed: The first six minutes of the film (well, the opening sequence plus a sizzle reel) are online! In it, the life-changing "Janie's Got a Gun"-inspired events that bring Babydoll (Emily Browning) to the film's mental institution for wayward girls are revealed in -- what else? -- slow motion! Death, child abuse, face-scratching, sisterly love, tragedy, a sultry cover version of "Sweet Dreams" sung by Browning... it's all here, after the jump.

Johnny Knoxville knows what the people want. They want to see grown men hit in the junk with all manner of blunt objects. They want to watch beehive tetherball. And everyone wants to watch Britney Spears climb into a Porta-Potty filled with you-know-what and get launched into the stratosphere, a la Steve-O, in a "deleted scene" from Jackass 3D -- which is just what Knoxville gifted to the world when he visited Jimmy Kimmel last night.
