With this week’s return of Derek Zoolander, we will make our long awaited return to the land of the really, really, ridiculously good looking. In addition to being really good looking, Zoolander and his friend Hansel are also really stupid. Most of the time stupid characters are simply sidekicks meant to make the hero look smart by comparison. Sometimes, however, on rare occasions, stupid people can be done so well that the audience will follow them wherever they go. They achieve a level of brilliance within their own idiocy. But creating a truly beloved moron is no simple task. It’s so easy for a character to be as annoying to the audience as they are to the other people on screen. But we came up with a list of characters that we love even though they’re dumb as rocks. Alan Garner - The Hangover ...

If you guessed Wonder Woman, then congrats, you guessed correctly! As many of you know, Birdman star Zach Galifianakis is always good for a joke between his comedic film roles to his hilarious Between Two Ferns web series. It looks like he was up to his usual hijinks when MTV UK asked him about which superhero he'd like to play. Check out the video below to find out what the funny Galifianakis, who is best known for his role as Alan Garner in The Hangover trilogy, had to say about the Amazonian princess. Also, find out how much he actually thinks about superhero roles in general. What do you guys think? Doesn't seem like Galifianakis is against playing a superhero, but which superhero or supervillain would he be a good fit for? Or would you guys rather see him as a supporting player in an existing or upcoming comic book movie?...

At an early Academy screening of The Wolf of Wall Street, a screen-writer approaches Martin Scorsese after the movie and screamed at him, “how could you? You’re disgusting.” We can only imagine that Scorsese’s first thought was, “No, I’m Martin Scorsese.” Whether it be mob politics, child prostitution, the weighing of show girls, or highly controversial interpretations of some fairly important religious texts, the director has always handled morally dubious material. The only difference with The Wolf of Wall Street was that this time it looked like a lot more fun.
The critic’s point was that the movie seemed to glamorize the hedonistic, grotesque lifestyle of these men, who had made their money dirtily and who didn’t treat each other or their families any better. But really, what else did he expect? For one thing, The Wolf of Wall Street was based on actual events...

Los Angeles, May 30: Stand-up comedian-actor Zach Galifianakis, who plays Alan Garner in "The Hangover" franchise, says director Todd Phillips changed his life.
Zach and Phillips have worked together in four movies, namely "The Hangover", "The Hangover Part II", "Due Date" and forthcoming movie "The Hangover Part III", and Zach says he shares similar sense of humour with the director.
"I hate to say it, but he (Phillips) changed my life. When a director sees your stand-up and says, 'You would be good for a movie,' I'm just very fortunate that it just happened that way," Zach said in a statement.
Zach would love.

New Hangover 4 movie never happening,it's truly the end. Hey, "Hangover" fans. Yep, we're sorry to inform you that yes this franchise has really run its course. There will not be a Hangover 4,despite them teasing us with that crazy scene after the closing credits. According to Heatworld, Hangover,Alan Garner star, Zach Galifianakis , recently confirmed that it is truly the end,and that we were actually lucky to get a 3rd film,because he didn't want to do it at first,stating to Empire Magazine: "It didn't make sense at first. I'm a leave-well-enough-alone kind of person. But looking back, I'm happy we did the third one. It feels like it's wrapping up nicely, where the second didn't feel like it was. A third one felt like it gave our characters a conclusion." Also, we sort of figured this as well,since part 3 was reported to be the last...

May’s not yet over and we’ve already got another flick in the theatres with the number three in the title. Iron Man 3 kickstarted the big Summer blockbuster season weeks ago with an astounding box office draw and a general agreement that this superhero action epic was a vast improvement over the lack luster part two. Well, comedies can often stumble in their follow-ups and a third outing can be “back to basics”/apology to the first film’s staunchest fans. This happened with the Grisswold Vacation flicks as Christmas Vacation was more popular with critics and moviegoers than the tepid European Vacation. More recently Ocean’S 13 played much better than the bloated Ocean’S 12 (well, it is a comedy series with lots of action and suspense mixed in). Like the Grisswolds, Danny Ocean and his crew seemed to stumble overseas, so 13 got them back to “Sin City...

The Hangover Part III has debuted a new clip.
The video shows Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms's characters discussing the reunion of the Wolf Pack over dinner.
When their wives (Gillian Vigman and Jamie Chung) suggest they spend more time with Zach Galifianakis's Alan Garner, they are reluctant while attempting to play down their past adventures.
They make an unconvincing show of insisting that Stu Price's (Helms) face tattoo was the most shocking thing the gang has ever got up to.
In the second clip, Alan reveals an email he received from Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong).
The film sees the trio revisiting Las Vegas on a road trip following the death of Alan's father.
Justin Bartha and Heather Graham will also return for the new movie alongside newcomers John Goodman and Melissa McCarthy.
The Hangover Part III will open on May 23.

Years from now, doctoral candidates are likely to write entire extended theses on Alan Garner, the character so memorably and brilliantly played by Zach Galifianakis in the "Hangover" series. This bearded baby-man -- he's a walking Chia Pet -- is pure id, one of the most transgressive characters to ever pop up in a mainstream movie. He's annoying, peculiar, perverse, prideful, cuddly and outrageously funny, all rolled into a single squat, hirsute package. Fortunately for "The Hangover Part III," much of it is all about Alan. Returning fans will enjoy this raucous...

You're in for one more round of "The Hangover," and it's coming pretty soon. To properly prepare the public, Warner Brothers released the first poster for the film on Twitter Wednesday. If it looks a little familiar, that's because it's a take on the poster from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2."
The poster carries the exact same tagline, "It all ends," and features a showdown between Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) and Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong). Behind them, it looks like the Las Vegas Strip is completely destroyed.
Writer-director Todd Phillips told Entertainment Weekly that Galifianakis' character is at the center of the third movie. "'The Hangover Part III' is Alan's story," Phillips says, "He's going through a crisis after the death of his father, [and] the Wolfpack is all he has."

Score one for the Warner Bros. marketing team. In a clever (if not exactly unprecedented) ploy to get more butts in the seats for their forthcoming comedy threequel "The Hangover Part III" - not that they needed the help - the studio pays homage to the poster for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2" with the film's first official one-sheet, which sees Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) standing in for Lord Voldemort and Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) filling in for the boy wizard as the two engage in a heated stand-off, Hogwarts style. Check out the full one-sheet below,...

The Hangover Part III seems to be in the same boat as The Wolverine when it comes to giving the audience a taste before delivering the main course. With the former coming out in three months, Todd Phillips is keeping us occupied with a couple of images until we see the real deal in theaters.
The third and final movie of The Hangover franchise will follow the Wolfpack, with Alan at the center of the story. Phillips has promised that this installment will not be a reproduction of its predecessors, as The Hangover Part II basically followed the storyline of the first one and ended up disappointing a lot of fans. Some critics also mentioned that the movie lacked the element of surprise and perhaps this is why we don’t know much about the plot of The Hangover Part III. Hopefully, Phillips is using that as an advantage to...

Zach Galifianakis became a household name after a hilarious turn in "The Hangover" -- but does he pull off the same laughs in real life? Yes! The North Carolina native dropped out of college and moved to New York with big dreams of becoming a famous comedian. Zach started performing stand-up anywhere he could, from coffee shops to hamburger joints. Before his silver screen success, Zach earned comic cred from stand-up routines which went viral on YouTube. They helped him land the role of Alan Garner in the alcohol-fueled flick. In honor of the hilarious and proudly Greek actor, we’ve pulled 10 of his funniest off-screen quotes. Enjoy!1. "Well, I have never been much of a groomer. I take baths a lot, but I don't wear deodorant. I don't have to. I have a miraculous body scent. I've had women smell me and say that should be bottled." 2. "My family...
