Popcorn's great and all, but there's just something super-tasty about movie-inspired cakes.
As film bakery is a real thing these days, there are gobs upon gobs of delicious designs all over the place as many talented maestros are generous enough to pretty up the world with photos of their scrumptious gumption.
We like to recognize the creative ways people celebrate their various degrees of infatuation with the cinema, so we went through the painstaking (read: tummy grumble-inducing) process of scouring the interwebs to pluck the very best in show for these Tinseltown-inspired treats ... just in time for "The Big Wedding," opening April 26.
Grab a bib before you dig into these 25 ridiculously well-designed desserts, 'cause it's pretty much a guarantee you'll be drooling all over the place by the end of this list.

50 Upcoming Movie Sequels (Yep, 50)
Universal
Sequels are awesome, plain and simple. Returning to familiar characters and worlds we love is like covering yourself with a warm blanket, although when a sequel is bad it can be like a blanket covered in potato bugs and lice. Studios love sequels because seven times out of ten they open huge, no matter how good they are. Get More »

Did You Know Bill Nighy's in Everything You Like?
Warner Bros.
Back in the 1980s, Harrison Ford became an international superstar by headlining two of the biggest franchises of all time, "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones." And in the '90s, it was Samuel L. Jackson who became a ubiquitous presence in just about every major blockbuster, from "Pulp Fiction" to "Die Hard with a Vengeance." So which of today's stars can boast a similar resume?
Would you believe Bill Nighy? Get More »

Discovery Channel Has Released the Kraken!
It's pretty much the first rule of sailing: If someone has released the kraken, you run away. Just as Captain Jack Sparrow if you don't believe us. Seriously, encountering a kraken is really, really bad news.
Which is just one more reason why this new clip from The Dsicovery Channel is so amazing — because these lunatics actually went searching for one! Get More »

12 Campaign Posters for Movie Characters
Warner Bros.
As the 2012 presidential election quickly approaches (tomorrow! eek!), Americans must carefully analyze each candidate's policies and personalities to determine who they want to lead the country for the next four years.
And then there's the funnier — but not any less absurd — election at the center of "The Campaign," a new political satire pitting Will Ferrell's charismatic, gaffe-prone incumbent against Zach Galifianakis's Washington outsider in a North Carolina congressional race.
We're not sure we'd vote for either of these guys in real life, but you know who we would vote for? Yoda. And The Dude. And after "The Avengers," Hulk would most definitely get our endorsement.
So we asked old friend Old Red Jalopy to get the ball rolling and mock up some campaign posters for some of movie favorites. Get More »

All In the Family: 12 On-Screen Relatives Who Actually Look Alike
Warner Bros.
Hollywood usually ignores the rules of genetics when it comes to casting family members in movies. Even some of our favorite films of all time, from "The Godfather" to "The Royal Tenenbaums" feature relatives that no combination of chromosomes could have realistically created. But every once in a while, the showbiz powers that be strike casting gold with actors who resemble each other enough to believably share a last name.
Here are 12 pairs of co-stars who you'd swear could be related. Get More »

Ahoy! Fifth 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Could Set Sail in Nov.
Disney
Shiver me timbers! Disney's most recent excursion to the Caribbean, "On Stranger Tides," brought in a billion bucks at the box office, so it seems only logical that they would want to harvest more pirate booty from the ocean floor.
No one could have guessed that they'd be flying the Jolly Roger as soon as November, though, which is exactly what Caribbean Business is reporting as the start date for the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" flick.
If true, this shooting commitment has The Film Stage speculating that the release for "Pirates 5" would be somewhere in the neighborhood of Summer 2014, with Captain Jack Sparrow lured back to the sea with a substantial $95 million payday (supposedly) for star Johnny Depp. Get More »

The United States of Movies Summer Olympic Teams
This Friday will kick off the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, and though our old Revolutionary War adversaries might be our allies now, that doesn't mean the U.S. of frickin' A. isn't ready to bring the thunder.
Using our powers of make-believe and fantasy, we've assembled athletic champions from the entirety of movie history to give us a clear advantage towards the race for Olympic glory in every sport of the XXX Olympiad. Get More »

Our 9 Favorite Threesomes (in Movies)
Universal Studios
No, we don't mean it that way! Get your mind out of the gutter, pervs. In honor of the new movie "Savages" (July 6), we're obviously talking about how it seems like the best star vehicles have three wheels.
Occasionally, a fourth wannabe will try to awkwardly insert himself into the ménage à trois (witness poor Ernie Hudson in "Ghostbusters"), but history's proven that a triad has always struck a chord with audiences. So, sticking with that agreed-upon equation, here's a list of nine trios that prove that, as Schoolhouse Rock taught us, three really is a magic number. Get More »

15 Beards That Steal Movies
Paramount
Sacha Baron Cohen brings his trademark ridicu-shock humor to his new film "The Dictator," but it may be his beard that steals the show.
He plays Admiral General Aladeen, deposed dictator of the (fictional) Republic of Wadiya, who flees to the U.S. when his country converts to democracy. As a dictator, he's used to ruling with an iron fist, an incorrigible sense of righteous cruelty, and a thick, bushy beard that could house several terrified baby sparrows.
Aladeen may feel like a fish out of water in New York City, but he'd feel right at home among Hollywood's most magnificent beards of all time. Here's our ode to the greatest facial hair in movies, in 15 parts.
