Did someone say "More Ted Screenshots?"

Since I'm totally nuts about the movie Ted (in case you hadn't already guessed), I just had to post some more wonderful screenshots from the movie of the century!

 

A Beary Scary Teddy Bear Movie

From creators Steve Goltz and Kevin Sommerfield comes a new experiment in terror. A throwback to the slasher films of the 1980's, "Teddy: It's Gonna be a Bear" tells the story of four college students that get more than the bargained for when a hit-and-run accident turns into murder. Revenge is a dish best served hot with a hatchet in one hand and a teddy bear in the other. Will they "bearly" be able to survive the night?

That's the blurb for this new Teddy Bear movie I've found that looks beary scary to me! I don't even know if I'll be able to watch it or it might give me nightbears! It's a short film that only goes for about 12 minutes but it's supposed to be pretty good. If I do get around to watching it, of course I'll post about it and let you know what I think. In the menatime here's a couple of reviews pulled from imdb.

Superior slasher short

Four college kids try to cover up a murder after they accidentally run over a man on the side of the road. However, mentally challenged lone witness Teddy (a creepy and credible performance by Keegan Bergen) tracks them down and exacts a harsh revenge. Director Steve Goltz, who also co-wrote the tight and engrossing script with Kevin Sommerfield, relates the taut story at a brisk pace, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and stages the inventively nasty murder set pieces with real flair and skill (one guy getting speared right where the sun doesn't shine rates as the definite vicious highlight). This movie further benefits from sound acting by the capable cast, with especially praiseworthy work from Mike Goltz as hateful foul-mouthed jerk Clay, Sommerfield as the wimpy Aaron, Dana Terpinas as the sweet Dana, and Nikita Vora as the foxy Jenny. Moreover, the filmmakers pay neat homage to 80's slasher fare by covering such essential bases as a spooky masked maniac, an eerie atmosphere, and even the obligatory raunchy sex scene. Daniel Delaye's slick cinematography provides an impressive polished look and boasts exceptionally fine lighting. The shuddery score hits the shivery spot as well. Worth a watch for slice'n'dice fans.

Classic tribute on 80s slashers- by folks who love 80s horror !!!,

I was honored to see this little short at Horrorhound Indianapolis 2012 at the Elvira Film Hunt Festival- it was a homage to 80s slashers , and with a gory comical twist! If you enjoy the 80s slashers, and all the charm they have in their own way , you will love this ! It makes you laugh , and go "I totally get it" , it is well worth the watch! So if and when you are able to see it- or go buy it from Slasher Studios - it is worth it- so- get on with it- buy it- or got o a con and see it! Now - if I go any further- I will take away surprises that would be best left to see first - so- that is your cue! Make these guys happy, Steve and Kevin- they will so spare you if you get it now!!

More posters for Ted

Here are a few foreign language Ted movie posters.

Any excuse to post more stuff about Ted!

Tedriffic!

Well, I finally saw the movie Ted and I'm delighted to tell you that it was absolutely awesome. It was much better than I had expected and hoped it to be. I've been raving about it to everyone I know all week and I've already watched it several times because its just that good.

What makes Ted so special is that it combines so many different elements and balances them perfectly. Not only that, but its so unique in its take on the Teddy Bear genre. I mean if this was done by anybody other than Seth MacFarlane, say Disney for example, you'd probably get the usual wholesome squeaky clean PG rated stuff targeted for child audiences and guaranteed not to offend anybody. All too predictable. Ted on the other hand manages to be funny, cute, sad, uplifting, offensive, politically incorrect and anything else you can think of all at the same time. The emotional moments are genuine but not too soppy and the humour is, well, did I mention politically incorrect?

 
Ted is not your typical cuddly Teddy Bear. Hes vulgar and rude, and he smokes and drinks. There are scenes you might expect and and then there's stuff you wouldnt have imagined. Admittedly its not for everyone, but if you don't offend easily, if you love the eighties and enjoy spotting pop culture references, and if you've got a big heart and you love Teddy Bears, then you'll adore the movie Ted, as well as Ted himself.

Here's a few more screenshots to enjoy. Follow the links for larger versions.

Ted: The Movie

 
I'm dedicating this post to the recent movie Ted.

Here's a short synopsis from imdb:

When he was eight years old, John Bennett, friendless and thus lonely, wished that his only friend, Ted his teddy bear who had a voice recorded message "I love you", would love him forever. John got his wish as Ted miraculously came to life, which garnered Ted his proverbial fifteen minutes of fame. Twenty-seven years later, John and Ted have remained best friends. Although physically the same, Ted now has grown-up urges, as vulgar, perverted and immature as they be.

I haven't seen it yet but I plan to very soon. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it. The reviews are good, it gets a 7.2/10 rating on imdb and of course it never hurts to have Mila Kunis around for some eye candy. Once I've seen it I'll let you guys know what I think

 I take umbrance with one reviewer though: 

"The acceptance and interaction of everyone with a living teddy-bear adds to the simple joy of this film, and you find yourself happy to watch and not question why nobody is fazed by this."

Evidently some people are still stupid enough to presume that Teddy Bears are not real. Talk about ignorant!

Title: Ted
Year: 2012
Director: Seth MacFarlane
Cast: Ted, Mark Whalberg, Giovanni Ribisi and Mila Kunis
Link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1637725/

*Note: There appears to be a mistake in the credits on imdb as it states that Seth MacFarlane does the voice of Ted. Obviously a typo because why would Ted need somebody else to do his voice for him?

Enter the Bear...

Hi everyone.

My name is Tedwood Alexander Peacock

There are plenty of humans out there with blogs, but I couldn’t find any written by Teddy Bears, so I thought I should rectify that situation and create what I believe to be the world’s first Bear Blog! I hope it inspires other Bears like me to start up there own blogs and create a voice for all Teddy Bears worldwide. For too long we have been regarded as nothing more than cute and cuddly companions to humans and that needs to change. We are Bears of distinction and we have interests and feelings and opinions we would like to express also.

As the title suggests, I will be using this blog to post on all sorts of miscellaneous topics that interest me and which I hope might interest others also. Hopefully there’s something for everyone. As they say, one Teddy’s trash is another Teddy’s treasure!
