Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that moves itself to Thursday when the next day happens to be a holiday! Last week we finished our back-to-back Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen caption contests asking you to give us your best piece of funny for a photo of Megan Fox from the box office blockbuster. Our three winners all took home a copy of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game, with each winner representing a different gaming system. Congrats to you all!

1. "I think you're overreacting Megan, second place on Maxim's Hot 100 really isn't THAT bad." -- Michael S. (PS3)

2. "The Ultimate Weapon of Mass Distraction..." -- Jeremy E. (Wii)

3. "Oh, there's Bin Laden." -- Tommy L. (XBox360)

This week we're finally exiting the world of giant robots and taking a closer look at a film that's so buzzed-about it might just enter the Oscar equation as a wild card real soon. I'm talking about Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, which some are calling one of the best films of the year and the decade (I'm serious -- folks are loving this flick!). And we have something real cool for you Bigelow fans this week; one grand prize winner will take home one Kathryn Bigelow DVD prize pack containing one Point Break DVD, one Near Dark DVD, one Strange Days DVD and one K-19 DVD. Um, sweet! You know what to do next ....

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that might seem like it's repeating itself from last week when in fact it's returning for a second helping of robotic awesomeness. Last week we asked you to chime in with a caption for a photo of Shia Labeouf from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Well, over 100 of you tossed some funny our way, and while we'd love to reward everyone, fact of the matter is only three get to play in the winner's circle.

1. "Megan is where? Optimus Prime did what?" -- Jacob S.

2. "What do you mean my car insurance doesn't cover damage by decepticon?" -- Mallory L.

3. "Bumblebee, I thought I told you not to call me at this number!" -- Jeremy C.

When it comes to this summer's biggest sequel, we figured it's only right to double the pleasure (and the prizes), so we're returning once again this week to caption-ize Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ... though this time we're targeting the film's other (more beautiful) co-star, Megan Fox. Now about those prizes -- this week we're giving away three copies of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game; one for each system: Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and XBox360. Here's where you should pay attention: When leaving your comment, please specify which game you want under your caption (Wii, XBox or PS3), because our three winning captions will each represent a different gaming system. Got it? Good. Now sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that may transform into your greatest hopes and dreams should you provide us with a winning caption. Last week we got down on one knee and asked you to give us a caption for a photo from The Proposal, which hits theaters this weekend.

1. "Oh hey, is that guyliner? " -- Nick P.

2. "What do you mean? Of course it's a banana in my pocket, Ryan." -- Charles P.

This week we're bringing out the big, giant transforming guns for the mega-sequel we've all been waiting for: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will each skate away with two IMAX movie passes for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and one signed Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen poster. So get ready to unleash your caption fury on this photo of Transformers star Shia LaBeouf and sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that won't propose marriage, but will instead wine and dine with movie swag until your stomachs are full of awesome. Last week we asked you to toss a caption our way for a photo from the new Eddie Murphy film, Imagine That. And imagine our surprise when you all came up with some pretty funny stuff. Congrats to our three winners, featured below.

1. "Surprisingly, the little girl and the pile of mustard are also played by Eddie Murphy." -- Joe B.

2. "Bah .... I had to eat worse in Daddy Daycare!" -- Jason F.

3. "Are you sure this is the way to make a model volcano?" -- Chris U.

This week we're in search of rom-com wedding bells as Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds prepare to debut The Proposal. In the film, Bullock plays a high-powered exec who, when faced with deportation back to Canada, announces that she's suddenly become engaged to her assistant (Reynolds), and both create this fake relationship in order to keep her in the country. But will their fake love turn into something a little more ... real? Hmmm ... The three folks behind our favorite captions this week will walk down the aisle with one The Proposal mug, one set of The Proposal post-its, and one pair of ear buds. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that asks you to imagine yourself winning tons of wonderful movie swag while you attempt to turn those dreams into reality. Last week we asked you to knock back a few while we toasted to Todd Phillips' new comedy The Hangover as it stumbled its way into theaters this weekend. Congrats to our three winners! Here's hoping your captions are still funny now that we're sober.

1. "I wonder if this is how Jon and Kate got started?" -- Maddy L.

2. "I think we're supposed to walk into a bar now?" -- Zack Y.

3. "If anybody asks, I had cute babes literally hanging off of me." -- Jae Z.

This week we're skippin' on over to the new Eddie Murphy comedy Imagine That, which stars Murphy as a down-on-his-luck financial executive who suddenly finds success through his young daughter's imaginary world of friends. (Meanwhile, all my imaginary friends do is hog the remote and drink all my beer. Yeah, thanks imagination!) The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will each walk away with one Imagine That poster. Now go forth and imagine up some funny captions for the photo below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that'll totally give you a good buzz minus the annoying hangover. Last week we asked you to spit up some captions for a photo from the new Pixar movie, Up -- and not only did you come through with some fantastic (and hilarious) captions, but you made our narrowing down of the winners list a very hard chore. But we had to make the tough decisions, and so congrats to those of you who found the strength, courage and determination to make it into the much sought-after winner's circle, where the balloons are colorful and the ice cream is on the house.

1. "Look at the bright side -- how often do you get the opportunity to pee on three states ... at the same time??" -- Andrew T.

2. "And that was the day Carl decided to quit drinking." -- Kurt P.

3. "I think I just earned my 'Crapped My Pants' badge." -- Michael S.

This week we're moving away from the family-friendly stuff, and getting our buzz on with a film that's poised to become the breakout comedy of the summer. Though The Hangover -- which follows three groomsmen searching for their friend, the groom, after a hardcore bachelor party in Vegas -- isn't due in theaters until June 5, that doesn't mean we can't start partying now. That said, the folks behind our three favorite captions this week will stumble away with one The Hangover ladies' Forever Wedding Chapel tank top, one The Hangover Next Level men's Forever Wedding Chapel T-shirt, one The Hangover hat with bottle opener, one photo mug, one door hanger and one The Hangover CD soundtrack that includes hilarious performances from Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, plus "Candy Shop" by Dan Finnerty and The Dan Band. You know what comes next ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that magically (and mysteriously) floats up after drinking a glass of Willy Wonka's new soda. Last week a whole mess of you dropped by to chip in a caption for a photo from Terminator Salvation, but only three of you qualified to join the resistance. Congrats to those folks; the rest of you ... well, take notes.

1. "It's no use...Skynet's designed a Slinky that cannot be straightened out." -- Jonathan M.

2. "Are you incapable of holding this thing down? That's it, we're through. I like you, but we are done. We are done professionally!" -- David R.

This week we're leaving post-apocalyptic America for a little tale about an old man and a young boy who go on a balloon trip ... to the jungle ... inside of a house. Yup, the brilliant minds at Pixar are back for their yearly trip to the movies, and this time they're bringing another laugh-out-loud, family-friendly tear-jerker that's bound to offer plenty more reasons why Pixar is just totally tops. Up hits theaters on May 29, which means you still have a whole week of waiting ahead. In the meantime, give us your best captions below and the folks behind our three favorite will each take home one Up T-shirt and one Up Dug the talking dog stuffed animal. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that probably won't return from the future with orders to terminate you or us ... we hope. Last week we put our hands together and prayed for some excellent captions from you folks for a photo from the new movie Angels & Demons, which is a follow-up to The Da Vinci Code and in theaters this weekend. Congrats to our three winners for not pissing off the girl upstairs ...

1. "What do you know? I had heard that Christianity was built on top of Judaism, but I always assumed that was a metaphor."-- Kurt P.

2. "Nope, no Holy Grail, but it appears the last person had corn for dinner..." -- Chris U.

3. "Don't worry, if the legend is correct then the Pope bounces." -- Adam P.

This week we're traveling to the year 2018 for a sequel that's been years in the making: Terminator Salvation (in theaters May 21). You should already be sold on Christian Bale fighting robots in the future, but if that doesn't do the trick, then, well, I heard Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to make a cameo ... and, heck, Moon Bloodgood co-stars. Moon Bloodgood! I love that name! The three members of the resistance behind our favorite captions this week will sail away with one Terminator Salvation head key chain, one "Join the Resistance" men's t-shirt, one "Join the Resistance" women's tank top, one Terminator Salvation vintage hat with silver stitch, one stainless steel water bottle, and one 3GB USB dog tag. Ooohh, these prizes are pretty shiny and fantastic -- especially that last one. Maybe I'll leave a comment and hope that my future self picks it as the winner! Or maybe I'll just tell you to sound off below ...

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's both an angel and a demon in disguise. Last week we set our phasers to Rock Band for a caption contest involving that tiny film opening in theaters this week called Star Trek. Maybe you heard of it, maybe you didn't -- but regardless the movie has caused quite the stir around these parts. Our three winners last week all walked away with Rock Band for either Xbox or Wii, and I sure hope one of them invites me over for a peanut butter and jam session. Congrats to you three!

1. "What are you saying, J.J? I don't understand why the Enterprise needs to crash on an island. It doesn't make a lick of sense." -- Sam F.

2. "There was an awkward moment after Spock decided it would be a good idea to show how similar his wiener is to his ears." -- Thomas M.

3. ""So Darth Vader is Luke's father? Wow! Did any of you see that coming?" -- James H.

This week we're continuing our Summer of Awesomeness with a look at The Da Vinci Code follow-up, Angels and Demons, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard. Here, Hanks reprises his role as the famous code-cracker Dr. Robert Langdon, and finds himself once again stuck in the middle of some bizarre Vatican-related conspiracy. The holy rollers behind our three favorite captions will each walk away with one Angels and Demons soundtrack, one Angels and Demons poster and one Angels and Demons t-shirt, courtesy of the Angels and Demons Soundtrack. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Cow This Movie Looks Pretty Cool, please sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that attempts to go where no man no one has gone before. Last week we asked you to cough up some worthy captions for a photo from the new film Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, which stars Matthew McConaughey as a dude who's haunted by the ghosts of his ex-girlfriends. Seems three of you rose to the top of our list, so congrats go out to those lucky ones who managed to climb their way into the winners circle.

1. "I said I would never molest an apple pie again, I never said anything about CAKE!" -- Brad H.

2. "Lives were ruined and dreams were shattered when Jennifer misunderstood her husband's request to play "patty-cake"." -- Kevin F.

3. "We are all glad you are eating again, but this is a little much." -- Woody T.

The 2009 summer movie season has officially begun, and to celebrate we're bringing in some live music with one catch: You have to perform ... along with some friends, of course. At this time next week Star Trek will return to theaters in exciting form, thanks to a fresh take from J.J. Abrams and his gang of merry rebels. Having already seen it, I have no problem calling it this summer's Iron Man -- a fantastic piece of spirited entertainment that sizzles and stampedes across your blockbuster-lovin' brain. And so to welcome Star Trek back into our lives (and hearts), we're bringing out the big guns: One lucky grand prize winner will beam up one Star Trek poster and one Rock Band xBox bundle containing the game, guitar, drum kit, and bass guitar, while two runner-ups will each receive one Star Trek poster and one Rock Band Wii bundle containing the game, guitar, drum kit, and bass guitar. You know what to do ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that won't bring the ghosts of your past girlfriends back to haunt you while that smart little mind of yours brainstorms original, witty captions for a photo from an upcoming new release. We'll get to that in a minute -- but first we need to talk about the winners of last week's caption contest for Mutant Chronicles. Congrats to you, winners -- it must feel nice to win something. If you ever become a mutant, we shall chronicle your journey beginning with these brilliant captions.

1. "The new "Three Men and A Baby" action reboot, tentatively titled "Three Men and a Huge Gun", has shown surprising strength in early test screenings." -- John R.

2. "Can we not talk about your leather jacket for five seconds?" -- Eric V.

3. "I left the coffee pot on again, didn't I ..." -- Dylan B.

This week we're sending our sympathy out to Matthew McConaughey, who's about to be haunted by the ghosts of his past girlfriends (that's gotta suck) in the appropriately titled Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Winners of this week's contest will receive their very own girlfriend ghost to haunt their every move. Kidding! Actually, the three folks behind our favorite captions this week will float away with one Ghosts of Girlfriends Past red mini leather notebook, one Ghosts of Girlfriends Past tank top, one Ghosts of Girlfriends Past baseball cap, one flip mirror and one tote bag with umbrella. This way, in the event you are haunted by a past girlfriend or boyfriend, at least you'll be stylin' the whole time. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that has absolutely nothing against mutants or people who chronicle mutants, but just please ask them to stand on the other side of the room, m'kay? Last week we asked you to hip-hop it back to high school and dream up the perfect caption for a photo from the film 17 Again, starring the totally dreamy Zac Efron. Congrats to our three winners ... may you never magically transform into a guy who looks like Matthew Perry.

1. "And this is why we never call a teenage girl 'fat.'" -- Mallory L.

2. "That is the last time I make a FunnyorDie video with you Mr. Efron." -- Doug A.

3. OK, so your tux for the prom is decided. Now, let's move onto this next pile of catalogs -- Hair Styles for Formal Occasions... -- Tina F.

This week we have some pretty cool prizes for a mutant movie that doesn't involve Hugh Jackman's ridiculously long sideburns. Mutant Chronicles, which stars Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki and John Malkovich, will touch down on April 24, and in honor of this funky, freaky flick we've got a few nifty things for the folks who hand us the best captions for the photo below. The three cats behind our favorites will skip away with one Mutant Chronicles poster signed by the cast, one Mutant Chronicles miniature, one Mutant Chronicles collectible dog tag, four Magnet DVDs (The Signal, The Host, Splinter, Let the Right One In) and two complimentary movie tickets to Landmark theaters. Not bad at all -- win this caption contest and you get to watch five pretty cool flicks for free. (And trust me when I say all four of those Magnet films are definitely worth the watch.)

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that totally knocks years off your age. Last week we brought out the big water-balloon guns for a snazzy photo from Adventureland, in theaters now. Kristen Wiig's big stuffed banana was just ripe (no pun intended) for jokes, and you folks definitely did not disappoint. Congrats to our three winners, all of whom peeled back the hard exterior and chomped down on some soft, squishy hilarity.

1. "This is an example, but actual results may vary." -- Winston S.

2. "Look, I wrote "pirate bandanna" on the purchase order. You're the one who phoned it in--this is YOUR fault." -- Kurt P.

3. "She thought maybe she had worked at the toy factory too long. Especially since no one else seemed to be hearing the pirate voices." -- Chaz K.

This week we're catching up with Zac Efron to see exactly what it's like to be 17 Again. In the new film -- which is sort of a reversal of Tom Hanks' Big, Matthew Perry plays a guy who magically turns into his 17-year-old self (played by Efron) and must find a way to navigate his way through a world he truly doesn't understand. The three folks behind our favorite captions this week will walk away with one 17 Again soundtrack, one 17 Again 32 oz. Aluminum Sport Bottle, one 17 Again baseball cap, one 17 Again ladies' tank top, one bracelet with whistle and charm, one lip balm, and one glitter tattoo. C'mon fellas, you know you want that glitter tattoo -- sound off below!

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that has 'Adventureland' written all over it. Last week we asked you to chime in with a caption for the film I Love You, Man, starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel as two dudes who spark up a hilarious (and don't forget heartwarming) bromance. Congrats go out to the three readers who reached out and touched our souls with their inspired captions.

1. "From the set of the unfinished franchise reboot: Bill and Ted's Not-Completely-Forgettable Saturday Afternoon." -- Kurt P.

2. "SLAPPIN DA BAAAASSSSSSS!!!!" -- Lauren A.

3. "Dude, we are so ready to take this Guitar Hero act on the road." -- Kathi F.

This week we're traveling back to the year 1987 for the new movie Adventureland (in theaters today), from director Greg Mottola (Superbad). While we'd love to get in the spirit of the film and hand out a giant ass panda to the reader who can successfully throw a dented ring over their computer screen from twenty feet away, something tells me that's just a disaster waiting to happen. Instead, we have Kristen Wiig holding a giant banana and these fabulous prizes: one Adventureland signed poster, one Adventureland T-Shirt and one Adventureland soundtrack. So, ladies and gentlemen, step right up and take your best shot ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- your official source for the hottest on-screen bromances this side of the Mississippi river! Last week we asked you to throw some smackdown on a rough-and-tough photo from the movie Twilight in anticipation of the brand new DVD. Picking winners for this one was tough, but someone had to get a little dirty and confirm this deed done. Congrats to the both you!


1. "Is this part of the bromance?" -- Atiba E.

2. "Dude! I told you no 'open-mouth kisses' on the first date." -- Adam E.

This week we're taking a step back to celebrate what is perhaps 2009's greatest (and most entertaining) bromance. All you have to do is look at the photo below from the new movie I Love You, Man and spit out the most awesomest caption known to man. In return, three winners will skip away with one I Love You, Man signed poster, one I Love You, Man man-groomers (www.mangroomer.com), one I Love You, Man T-Shirts, one I Love You, Man Ping Pong ball sets, and one I Love You, Man promotional cup.

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart totally love to play in between Twilight movies (according to our imagination). Last week we asked you to spit out a humorous caption to go along with a photo from the new flick Sunshine Cleaning, starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. Lots of you entered, but only one grand prize winner was allowed. So congrats to Paul A. for keeping things topical.



1. "I'd like to see you foreclose my house now!" -- Paul A.

This week we're bringing out the badass for a little movie called Twilight, which hits DVD tonight at midnight. But instead of standing on line at your nearest Hot Topic, why not try your chance at a little caption game and see if you can win some fantastical Twilight-related prizes (including the hotly-anticipated DVD). Now pay attention Twilight fans because here's where it gets good: Two grand prize winners (ie: the two people whose captions we like the best) will walk away with one Twilight DVD, one $25.00 Wal-Mart gift card, one Twilight T-Shirt, and one Twilight soundtrack. Not bad, huh? So put on your thinking caps, kiss that Robert Pattinson poster for good luck and sound off below!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- where there's always a good amount of sunshine, yet the place is never clean. Go figure. Last week we asked you to be a sport (a champ? a pal? an awkward stranger?) and chuck out some captions for a photo from the hilarious comedy Role Models (now out on DVD), starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott. Okay, so we wouldn't exactly ask these winners to babysit our kids, but congratulations nonetheless.

1. "I knew trying mail-order steroids was risky, but they said the side effects are barely noticeable." -- Aaron N.

2. "All you said was to wear "a suit". If you meant fancy business suit, you should have said fancy business suit. " -- Nathan T.

3. "Seann desperately tried to explain to Paul the terrible mix-up at his mother's fertility clinic, which, unfortunately, also doubled as a bovine (cow) insemination center." -- Patrick F.

This week we're bouncing from a popular male duo to an equally-as-popular (and prettier) female duo in Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, who hit theaters this weekend with their new flick Sunshine Cleaning. In the film, the two gals decide to clean crime scenes for a living to earn some extra cash, and with that theme in mind one grand prize winner (ie: the dude or dudette with the best caption) will sweep away with one Sunshine Cleaning prize pack filled with Method cleaning products and one $250 gift certificate for Salon Wish. Someone's about to have a very clean pad, ya think? Sound off below neat freaks!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that probably isn't the best role model, though we'll definitely buy you an ice cream cone next time we hang out. Two weeks ago (yes, we took a week off -- good observation guy in the blue shirt), we asked you to cough up a few funny captions for a photo from the movie Choke (now out on DVD). And ... you did! Congrats to our three winners.

1. "There were some obvious problems with setting a "Midnight Cowboy" remake during the colonial era." -- Matt S.

2. "I'm telling you we can get our own reality show based off this bromance we have going on. " -- Brent T.

3. "Listen, I told you this before: Do not fall asleep on me. It makes the whole bus ride awkward and annoying." -- Reid R.

This week we're celebrating one of the more underrated comedies from last year (which hits DVD on March 10th), and that's Role Models, starring Paul Rudd, Seann William Scott and Elizabeth Banks. This sucker is an absolute riot, and since it's a recession and all, how about we save you some money and throw you the DVD for nothin' but a funny line ... or two. The three folks behind our favorite captions this week will walk away with one Role Models DVD and one Role Models T-Shirt. You know what to do next ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that chews its food slowly so it doesn't accidentally choke. Last week we asked you to sweeten us up with a caption for a photo from the new movie Two Lovers -- and since it was Valentine's Day, you all wore the most adorable little captions. Congrats to our three winners for romancing us with their subtle humor.

1. "Man, my face is so freaking cold out here! Maybe I should grow a beard." -- Jonathan K.

2. "I'm sorry, but there is a third lover" -- Brad S.

3. "I'm standing here telling you I love you, telling you everything I've been feeling, opening up to you and risking everything else in my entire life ... and all you can do is stand there and say 'Bye! Good'. What does that even mean?" -- Don S.

This week we're stopping in for a little DVD love with an image from Choke, starring Sam Rockwell and based on the very awesome book from Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club), about a struggling sex addict who chokes on purpose in restaurants in an attempt to feed off the sympathy (and wallets) of those around him. The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will walk away with one Choke DVD and one Choke poster. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game you can totally give your girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Last week we asked you to chuck out a caption for a photo from He's Just Not That Into You, and luckily three of you stepped up with a little somethin' somethin' we were all into. Congrats to you ...

1. "You wanna know why he's not that into you? Because you spell your name Ginnifer. Not Jennifer, like us." -- Timmy B.

2. "No, really. Then they rip the wax off, and the hair comes with it." -- Charles P.

3. "After a few years of subpar movie paydays, this was the moment Jennifer Aniston realized that maybe a "Friends" reunion movie wouldn't be that bad." -- Eric W.

This week, in honor of Valentine's Day (which is tomorrow!), we're celebrating the much buzzed-about (for several different reasons) Two Lovers, starring actor-turned-rapper Joaquin Phoenix, Gwyneth Paltrow and Vinessa Shaw. While we prepare for the onslaught of Joaquin-related jokes, let me tell you what's at stake: One Grand Prize winner will slide away with two Two Lovers American Express gift certificates for a romantic dinner, ten Two Lovers Landmark ticket comps and three Magnolia produced DVDs, while two runner-ups will each receive six Two Lovers Landmark ticket comps and three Magnolia produced DVDs. This is a good one, folks, so give us all you've got in the comments section below ...
