Will Ferrell Super Bowl Commercial: Old Milwaukee Beer (VIDEO)
Budweiser may have reserved its usual share of Super Bowl ad time on Sunday night, but there was one beer commercial that most of America didn't get to see. According to Deadspin, an Old Milwaukee advertisement starring Will Ferrell aired in the town of North Platte, Neb.
Ferrell is no stranger to Old Milwaukee beer -- back in December, he was spotted in several commercials promoting the product (the actor did the spots free of charge; apparently, Ron Burgundy has learned his milk lesson and is now going for more booze). This time around, citizens of North Platte watched as Ferrell walked through a corn field wearing shorts, stopping in front of the camera to catch a slightly shaken Old Milwaukee.
Super Bowl. Cornfields. Beer. Will Ferrell. It's everything an American football fan could ask for. However, don't expect any Old Milwaukee in Ferrell's next film, the Spanish comedy, "Casa de Mi Padre" (in theaters March 16). Perhaps there will be Dos Equis, instead?

'Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie' Poster: Rainbows, Spray Tans And Balloons
If the words shrim, Brule's Rules, Gravy Robbers, petite feet, Spagett!, and Beaver Boys, make absolutely no sense to you, then you are likely very, very confused about "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie." But that's OK! The film doesn't hit theaters until March 2, which means you have one month to learn everything there is to know about "Tim and Eric."
For starters, the movie is based on the popular Adult Swim show, "Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!," starring Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. The best way to explain what happens on the program is by thinking of each episode as a collection of those really bad local commercials (i.e. Civil War plates, miracle workout equipment, THE BEST BLENDER EVER, etc.), which are then stuffed in a food processor, mixed up, swallowed by Tim and Eric themselves, then spit out in front of a camera. (Sounds fun, right?)
For those still scratching their heads, you can also direct your attention to the brand-spanking new "Billion Dollar" movie poster, which features rainbows, spray tans and balloons.
"TIm and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" hits theaters on March 2. If you don't buy tickets, you will be spooked by a man with a heaping pile of spaghetti on his face.

'Blade Runner' Sequel: Harrison Ford Reportedly In 'Early Talks'
Why not start your week off with a hilarious bit of rumor and speculation? According to TwitchFilm, Harrison Ford has begun "early talks" with the proper parties to star in the non-sequel maybe-sequel to "Blade Runner" that Ridley Scott is directing.
In the 1982 cult classic "Blade Runner," Ford played Rick Deckard, a Blade Runner (future cop!) who hunts down four replicants in 2019 Los Angeles. Last summer, Alcon Entertainment revealed it was planning another chapter in the "Blade Runner" story, though likely without Ford.
"In no way do I speak for Ridley Scott," Alcon Entertainment president Andrew Kosove told the Los Angeles Times in August. "But if you're asking me will this movie have anything to do with Harrison Ford, the answer is no. This is a total reinvention, and in my mind that means doing everything fresh, including casting."
The "reinvention" of "Blade Runner" wouldn't be the first time Scott flirted with not totally reinventing the continuation of one of his famed sci-fi projects; he's been quoted as saying "Prometheus" has plenty of "Alien" DNA in its final ten minutes, this despite the film being sold as a non-prequel to "Alien."
"Prometheus" is out in theaters this June; don't expect to see "Blade Runner 2" in theaters much before 2014.
