Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you all race to the death to provide us with the best possible captions for photos from upcoming films. Last week we asked you to steal some of our thunder and shoot us your bestest captions for an image from
Tropic Thunder. Luckily, we managed to choose three winners without staging a protest, and so congrats to you ... and you ... and you.
1. "They knew something had gone very wrong on the set of
Alien 5 when, unexpectedly, Robert Downey Jr. popped out of the soldier's chest." --
Kurt P.2. OK, this might not be the right time to bring this up ... but I'm pretty sure you still owe me for that last trip to IHOP." --
Jeremy C.3."You can be my wing man anytime" --
Mike R.See full image and all captionsThis week we're strapped in and ready to roll out with the ultra serious
Jason Statham (for real, has anyone ever seen this guy smile?), who stars in the new flick
Death Race (in theaters August 22). In the film, Statham stars as an ex-con who's forced by the warden of a prison to compete in a car race where severe road rage and the annihilation of your competitors is recommended. The drivers behind our three favorite captions this week will cruise away with one
Death Race poster, one
Death Race t-shirt, one
Death Race tank top, and one
Death Race hat. I'd tell you to use all that to create your own
Death Race in the comforts of your home ... but something tells me that might not be the greatest idea. Sound off below!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that brings the tropic thunder and then some! Last week we asked you to strap on a pair of those magical traveling pants and participate in a little caption-ing for a photo from the new flick
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Note to someone: Never include a small group of pretty girls amongst a few large, orange bouncing balls. Why? Well, to our winners ...
1. "Your balls don't scare me." --
Paul P. 2. Suzie, this is an intervention. We understand that you have a problem with oversized polyps, but you can't just leave them all over the living room like this." --
Kurt P.3. "This is what happens to the sisterhood once the pants stop fitting." --
Rifah O.See full image and all captionsThis week, it's raining madness and we're traveling into the heart of the jungle with the boys from
Tropic Thunder -- a film that's absolutely hysterically insane. Ben Stiller directs and stars alongside folks like Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr. (as a black man), Jay Baruchel and Brandon T. Jackson -- all of whom play a group of actors shooting the most expensive war picture of all time. But when the real war comes a little too close for comfort, our pretend soldiers will need to get "in the sh*t" ... for realz. The folks behind our three favorite captions will helicopter away with one very awesome signed
Tropic Thunder movie poster. Sound off below!

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's great to play while you're traveling ... with pants ... for a second time! Last time we met in this glorious space, we asked you to bring along some funny to compliment an image from the film
Step Brothers -- and you gave us spider monkey attacks, Mountain Dew jokes and screaming peas. Right on!
1. "I told you not to tease those spider monkeys, they'll come at you ... well, like spider monkeys." --
Matt H.2. "That's what happens when you actually try to do the "Dew." --

You know what they say: Some friends just fit together. (And how come my jeans never seem to fit?) Yup, it's
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (in theaters August 6), and the authors behind our three favorite captions will travel away with one
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 tank top, one BeDazzler stud-setting tool with assorted studs and crystals, one

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- that popular online game the whole dysfunctional family can enjoy! Last week, of course, we traveled to Gotham City and asked you fine, dark captioners to give us your best stuff for a photo from this summer's biggest film,
The Dark Knight. Needless to say, you certainly lived up to your end of the bargain -- we received a ginormous amount of entries, and it definitely took some time to pick our three winners. Congrats to you; Gotham is safe once again ... for now.
1. "Hmm ... no, the Joker hasn't accepted my friend request on Facebook either."
Jeremy C.2. Really, Lucious? You can build a car that can practically fly, but you have to call me to get your iTunes off shuffle?

This week we're psyching ourselves up for what looks to be another hysterical comedy from the team behind
Talladega Nights and
Anchorman. Directed by Adam McKay,

Welcome back to another funtastic, Americana edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you don't need fireworks to blow our minds. Last week we asked you to step up to the mic with some dope captions for a photo from

Welcome to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game that's so much more dope than it is wacked. Last week, we asked you to bend down, lean forward and give us your best captions for a photo from
The Love Guru. I don't know if you all brought in your own Caption Gurus (or if there was some other mystical power at work), but we received some of the most awesomest captions yet. Good job!
1. "This is hard to say, but the reason I called the four of you in to my office is to let you know that you are being downsized." --
Anthony G.2. "We're sorry, we thought this was a shrink's office." --

The Wackness, featuring mad rhymes, dope flava ... Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby, Famke Janssen and Ben Kingsley. Holla! But check it: One grand prize winner will take away a ridiculous
Sony DVP-FX820 portable DVD player. Word. Seriously, though,

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you don't have to be a guru in order to win fabulous movie-related prizes. Last week, we asked you to point, laugh and get your caption on with a photo of two heads (belonging to Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway) from the film
Get Smart. And that you did! Congrats go out to
David R. for turning us on

This week, we're searching for a little love (and advice) from Guru Pitka (
Mike Myers) in
The Love Guru. Our old friend returns to live-action comedy with this flick about a self-help guru who travels from India to the states to help a star hockey player whose wife left him for a rival athlete. Sound familiar? Have you found yourself in a similar romantic squabble as of late? And are you seeking advice from all the wrong people (like that guy with the wooden leg who keeps asking to square off against you in a game of naked Twister)? Well, look no further my fellow caption-ers, because the three winners from this week will prance away with one
The Love Guru Guru Pitka magic 8- ball action figure (pictured right, click to enlarge). This way, next time trouble comes knocking at your heart, you'll have your own personal guru to help steer you in the right direction. Sound off below ...

Welcome back to another edition of Insert Caption -- the online game that karate chops all its competition in half. Last week, we asked you to give us captions for a photo from the new creepy flick
The Strangers. Serious props go out to
Kristi S. for cracking us up with one of my personal favorite winning captions of 2008 so far. (And so what if I wound up Netflix-ing
Armageddon the other night because of Kristi? Is that so wrong?)
1. "Hurry up!!!
Armageddon is on TBS tonight and I don't wanna miss a thing!!!" --

Welcome back to another fantastic edition of Insert Caption -- the game where you're totally allowed (and encouraged) to talk to strangers. Last week, we were hangin' with our girls from
Sex and the City, and asking you to send in your best captions for a photo of Carrie typing away with some ...
thing wrapped around her shoulders. Needless to say, creativity was a flowin'.
1. "Her transformation from socialite to yeti nearly complete, Carrie writes her final, twisted column." --
Jay J.2. "Note to self: New line of sweaters from Jimmy Choo - not so fabulous." --
Chia S.3. "I knew I would do anything for fashion, but drugging and shaving a Wampa might be over the line. I should have shaved an Ewok instead ... they're softer." --

This week, we're throwing on our random, creepy masks and showing up to your house unannounced with a photo from the new freaky flick
The Strangers. Scott Speedman and Liv Tyler play a couple who are harassed (in more ways than one) by three complete strangers who pop up at their front door in the middle of the night. And if you don't leave a funny caption for this one ... well, let's not wait to see what happens. (I'm so not intimidating.) The winners of our three favorite captions will sneak away with one cast-signed

Sex and the City are about to make their big-screen debut? I think mayyybe ... Since Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda are four
very special ladies in our lives, we decided to give away some very special gifts to those who provide us with the best captions for the photo below. That being said, one grand prize winner will receive one
Sex and the City Collector's Edition DVD set with all six seasons of the hit show, two different
Sex and the City movie posters and one
Sex and the City soundtrack. Meanwhile, two runners up will receive the two different posters and the
