    I know little about Ant-Man and even less about Lang, so I don't think this would be a movie I'd be very excited about if it wasn't for the fact that it'll likely be Marvel's heist movie. Heist movies are one of my favorite genres, so I'm really looking forward to seeing Marvel's approach...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Updated list of superhero movies through 2020 I'm guessing you mean Avengers 2? Avengers 3 comes out in 2018, a year after the Wonder Woman movie. But wouldn't even Avengers 2 be a little early for her? Post-credit scenes usually reveal characters from the next one or two movies (Thor 2 had...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    The only disappointing thing is no stand-alone Hulk movie. I really liked Ruffalo as Hulk in The Avengers and was hoping to see that expanded more. The one thing DC is probably comforting themselves over right now is that the Wonder Woman movie will come out a year before Captain Marvel...

    Hannibal

    If anyone is interested in owning the second season, Target.com has both theDVDandBlu-rayfor $15. Considering the season just released last month and the Blu-ray is still $25+ everywhere else, I'm guessing the Blu-ray discount is a price mistake. Both versions include a digital copy. Target...

    Constantine

    I wasn't aware that they changed female leads, which had the unfortunate effect of making so much of the first episode feel pointless. They spent so much time building her up to be someone extremely important to the storyline only to have her take off within the last couple minutes of the...

    And, at this point, they should be raising the stakes in the Marvel Universe. The only notable deaths we've seen so far are Bucky Barnes, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury, all of which were reversed, making death about as meaningless as it in comics. If they want to show how dangerous things are...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    New Line Cinema originally owned the rights to make the Deadpool movie but that sort of floundered as they weren't allowed to connect him to the X-Men (including the Weapon X Project) in any way. In 2004, they sold the rights to FOX.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    By the timeBatman v Supermancomes out, they'll have far too much momentum to do anything but push forward. By that point, they'll likely already have three films in production (Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, andJustice League 1) with another two (The FlashandAquaman) probably in pre-production...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    I can't help but get the feeling there's some conflict within the studio as to whether or not they are doing an adaptation of Frank Miller'sThe Dark Knight Returns. On one hand, it's Superman vs. Batman and apparently Carrie Kelley is Robin... but then Lex Luthor is the main villain and Wonder...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    And Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America's identities are already known, while Thor doesn't even have one. The Marvel movie universe really hasn't done much up to this point of even exploring secret identities or why they are needed, which is something they're really going to need to do...

    Gotham has been picked upfor a full season, with an additional 6 episodes ordered (22 episodes total).

    And I don't even understand where that was coming from. Unless I missed something, he talked back to the Indian twin, but that was only after she started bad-mouthing him and telling people to get rid of him. I think most players would react similarly if someone was openly trying to get them...

    Gotham

    After last night's episode, I was sort of wishing they could drag out the vigilante thing for more episodes. Not only would it make a good subplot for the season (instead of the criminal of the week format they've been going with thus far), but it'd also be a great way to explore Gordon's...

    Gotham

    'Gotham' Finds Its Harvey Dent Two-Face is probably one of the least outlandish characters to add to the show considering he does have a backstory that would put him in Gordon's path, but I always got the impression that he and Bruce Wayne were supposed to be about the same age. If every...

    It was great to see Jeff call their trade for what it was, but I sort of wish the tribe refused his counter-offer just to see what sort of trade he would devise when they inevitably came crawling back. The funny thing is she might not have been voted out if she hadn't played the ridiculous "I...

    Gotham

    Why? I thought Jim's first wife was Barbara (who is also the mother of James Jr. and Batgirl) and that Jim cheats on her with Sarah. Though, in The New 52, Sarah has basically ceased to exist as Jim never divorced Barbara, so it's hard to say if she'll ever show up in Gotham.

    Yeah, Carol Kane as Ma Cobblepot is great casting. I'm also really enjoying Richard Kind as the mayor.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Last I heard, it'll be something like Agents of SHIELD will go on hiatus from January until March and Agent Carter will air during that time. That also means that Agents of SHIELD will only have that one long break rather than airing once or twice a month in the spring.

    I have to wonder if Dale really found the idol or not. They've hidden them out in the open before - though I can't recall them ever being hidden without the instructions. If not, I look forward to seeing how he's going to put that to use, because I can't see them showing him take that without...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    That code they used to hack the military had to be a subtle nod to Dollhouse. It was a series of numbers followed by "Sierra Victor". I know it's the NATO phonetic alphabet, something the military uses, but picking those two out of anything had to be more than just coincidence, particularly...

    I just love how not a single one of the adults question the fact that itmightnot be the greatest idea to leave a 7-year old and a woman with dementia alone in a house full of countless deadly weapons. "Sorry, gotta kill the Master! If Nora's mom doesn't mistake you for a rapist and stabs you...

    Extant [CBS] Halle Berry - July

    It was a decent enough show to pass through the lull of summer, but it's also another strong argument in favor of genre shows requiring a solid direction. The entire plot for this season could be summed up in a few sentences, the bulk of which would be "Molly looks for her baby." I'm not...

    The Strain

    We're talking about the person whose grand plan for flipping the internets switch back to "ON" was walking in Palmer's front door without any sort of disguise and then immediately drawing attention to herself by staring into a security camera as if she's never seen one before. 10 minute is...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    It's always going to be a balancing act with MMOs. To get the most players, you have to develop many different types of content to cater to each preference, but by doing so, you are decreasing the amount of resources for each part. Either you focus on a couple things and try to do them well or...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Wildstardoeshave rares in every zone with unique loot (RareTrackeris a great way of finding them). The problem is they all just drop green/blue loot which isn't any better than what you can get through completing quests or challenges. There's little reason to go out of your way to look for...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I can believe increasing server capacities has been a goal of theirs since it's something that would be beneficial regardless of how many people play the game. Whether an MMO is wildly successful or not, allowing more people on each server lessens operation costs some. And considering NCSoft's...

    Yeah, but then Lexi wouldn't have died and next season wouldn't have any chance of being anything other than another shitfest. Alien Jesus Barbie sacrificed herself so we can have hope for next year.

    2014 Emmy Nominations

    Some people accuse HBO of being greedy by submitting True Detective as a drama instead of a miniseries, but I'm guessing they saw it as a win/lose type of situation. They likely saw it worth the risk of taking on Breaking Bad because Best Drama is seen as much more prestigious than what would...

    2014 Emmy Nominations

    The most disturbing thing about that? Jim Parsons now has as many Best Actor Emmys as Carroll O'Connor, Michael J. Fox, and Kelsey Grammar, and more than Tony Shalhoub, Don Adams, and John Lithgow. The next time he wins (which seems likely considering he's won 4 of the 6 years he's been...

    Say what you will about the character, but I think Anna Gunn had some really good performances on Breaking Bad, particularly in the episode she was nominated for - Ozymandias. (I was a little surprised they submitted that instead of Buried since I think her scene with Hank in the diner was...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm guessing we'll see more of a redemption arc for him. Even though he was a double agent, they tried to keep him a sympathetic character by showing the only reason he ended up with Garrett is because Garrett was the only person to ever care about him. He never had any allegiance to Hydra and...

    Mythbusters

    It's actually not. The award was for Outstanding Reality Program which is given to the producers of the show. Kari, Tory, and Grant were never producers and therefore have never been listed in that award. Likewise, Jamie and Adam weren't included in that list until the 8th season when they...

    Halt and Catch Fire

    It is sort of surprising considering the show had significantly lower ratings than Low Winter Sun, not to mention the fact that AMC has about two dozen shows in some stage of development with five pilots ordered and at least two new shows set to debut next year. But, it is good to see AMC...

    Lost will always be a favorite for me. Michael Giacchino did a fantastic job at creating music that set the tone in the show so well and fit the characters perfectly.

    The Strain

    This show is starting to remind me of Terra Nova: Really good secondary characters, an interesting setting, and primarily characters I barely care about who take up too much screen time whining about their personal problems. The show would be so much better if it was just the exterminator and...

    Extant [CBS] Halle Berry - July

    Extant's ratings have decreased, but it's still beating everything else in its timeslot and still the most watched scripted show for the night. It had5.6 million viewers this week, only being beat by Big Brother (6.6 million) and America's Got Talent (9.7 million). I think CBS just realizes...

    Halt and Catch Fire

    I think the problem with Joe was primarily that they never explored his depth. There's obviously a lot of underlying issues to why he is the way he is, but they left most of that stuff on the periphery - the issues with his dad, whatever led to his departure from Microsoft, his mother's...
