Win a copy of the No Strings Attached soundtrack

All your favorite songs from the #1 hit romantic comedy No Strings Attached!

All your favorite songs from the #1 hit romantic comedy No Strings Attached!

No Strings Attached is the new sex comedy with Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. As Tom Brazelton so aptly put it in a recent Theater Hopper comic, this is a good thing. It’s like Ms. Portman is getting all her sexy out before her impending marriage and child.

So, anyhow – even if you’ve not seen Portman and Kutcher get all naughty, then develop feelings for one another, you can still appreciate the soundtrack. It has bedroom jams like Color Me Badd’s “I Wanna Sex You Up” and D’Angelo’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” meaning you, too, can get your freak on.

Win a copy of the Jackass 3D soundtrack

cover-jackass-3d1Every time I watch any of the Jackass movies or clips from the episodes, I can’t help but remember the time my friends pushed me down the street in a shopping cart. When it stopped in a sewer drain, I shot out out. Had I not tucked and rolled (and gone limp), I probably would’ve been hurt like hell. As it is, Jackass is a reminder that no matter how much you tell kids, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye,” there are always those kids who wonder exactly what it takes to lose that eye.

Johnny Knoxville and company return in Jackass 3D when it hits theaters next Friday, October 15. To celebrate, we’ve got a copy of the soundtrack from Epitaph Records to give away. As a bonus, if you live in the Kansas City / Lawrence area, you also win a pass to the advance screening at the Cinemark Merriam 20 on Thursday, October 14 at 10:00 p.m.

To enter, send an e-mail with the subject line “Jackass 3D contest” to nicholas dot spacek at gmail dot com by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, October 11. We’ll announce the winner Tuesday morning.

For more info on the soundtrack, which features Weezer’s “Memories” alongside Cocksparrer, Gang Green, and more, hit up the official website. You’ll be able to get it digitally next Tuesday, or grab the CD on October 26.

The well-endowed Drecker decides to exploit his best asset in a last-ditch effort to reverse his fortunes.”

Win a Dinner For Schmucks soundtrack

PrintSorry about the lack of new stuff lately. It’s wedding season amongst our friends, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 have birthdays two weeks apart, meaning the Nuthouse’s weekends are booked all through July. We’ve also been sick, meaning productivity is way down.

As a way of making up, we’ve got another soundtrack giveaway for you all, once again courtesy of Lakeshore Records. We’ve got two copies of the Dinner For Schmucks soundtrack, which has a Theodore Shapiro score, as well as a new song from the wonderful Sondre Lerche entitled “Dear Laughing Doubters.”

I’m not usually down with seeing comedies in the theater, but man…this has Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, as well as the amazing comedy talents of Zach Galifianakis, Jemaine Clement, and Kristen Schaal. Those latter three in one film are enough to sell me on it, and help me ignore the fact that I saw Jeff Dunham in the trailer, as well.

Send an e-mail to nicholas dot spacek at gmail dot com with the subject line “Dinner For Schmucks” by Friday at 5pm Central, and we’ll announce the winners next Monday.
