KAREN GILLIAN of ‘DOCTOR WHO’ rocking ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ role as villain.

Karen Gillan.

I continue covering Guardians of the Galaxy news, not really familiar with both the Universe, and half the cast. Whatever. It’s a ridiculously expensive space epic set within the Marvel Universe. That alone has my attention. The latest addition to the cast is Karen Gillan. She’s from Doctor Who, which I also don’t know much about.

‘BLADE RUNNER’ SEQUEL gets ‘GREEN LANTERN’ writer. YOU REPLICAN’T BE F**KING SERIOUS.

Blade Runner.

If the shit show that was Prometheus didn’t talk you out of believing that the sequel to Blade Runner would be good, take a fat hit of this to your dome. The fucking writer for the bloody diarrhea monster that was Green Lantern has been brought aboard the project.

Abandon hope, all ye.

Cosplay: ZERO SUIT SAMUS is LATEXCELLENT

Zero Suit Samus.

Latexcellent? I’m pretty letdown with myself that I haven’t come up with that pun before. Oh well, what the fuck can you do? I shall just be happy that I eventually wandered my way to the term.

TRAVELLING TO MARS would GODDAMN KILL US with RADIATION right now.

Mars.

Jesus Christ, ain’t this a downer. With current technology, the amount of radiation our asses would absorb on the way to Mars would prove pretty fucking terminal. Don’t let that shit get you down though! Just another hurdle to cross.

F**K ANXIETY: SAM MENDES likely directing NEXT TWO BOND FILMS.

Sam Mendes.

Someone must have mashed-up some of my anti-anxiety meds, and put them in Sam Mendes’ mashed potatoes. The good sir has gone from being like “I want to puke when I think about directing another Bond” to likely helming the next two installments.

Opinions Vary: MAKE MINE CYBERPUNK

CYBERPUNK.

As a member of the OL Collective, you no doubt traipse about in generated worlds. While the best of these worlds are well-distinguished from one another, they can be sliced into distinct categories. There are Utopian worlds, worlds filled with magic, worlds filled with superheroes, and other worlds filled with dragons. In fact, some are Utopian worlds filled with superheroes wielding magic and thrashing dragons. Mix-and-match. Whatever. And so on.

However, I reckon that we all have our favorite slice of the generated-world nonsense that comes from enjoying the arts and farts. So I’ll ask you gals and guys: what is your favorite kind of fictional world? And does it come from a specific source?

Me? My favorite are there them cyberpunk dystopias, specifically that of Richard K. Morgan’s Altered Carbon and its sequels.

WAY TO BE A DICK. GOOGLE ADDS NUTRITIONAL INFO to over 1,000 search results.

Yum yum.

Google, you big giant fuck. There is no way I need handy reminders of just how fat I am being, okay? If I’m searching “triple cheese burger”, you don’t need to calculate the caloric content of said flesh-beast. And don’t give me that noise about the results only coming up if I search “how many calories are in a triple cheese burger”, because my search is only perfunctory.

SUPERMAN’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO is A LOGO.

NEW LOGO WEE.

DC has got itself a logo for Super-guy’s 75th anniversary. The logo itself isn’t really wonderful, but hey. At least it isn’t so garish that it makes my eyes bleed.

LAST 2 ‘BREAKING BAD’ EPISODES in theaters? Steven Soderbergh wants it.

Breaking Bad.

Soderbergh wants the last two episodes of Breaking Bad to hit the silver screen. It is just a pipe dream, but fuck I can totally dig it. It would be excellent to watch the Final Dance of Walter White upon a glorious wall, in a theater filled with fellow Breaking Badians.

GLENN CLOSE is NEAR (PUN!) joining ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.’

Glenn Close.

I don’t even know if “near joining” make sense. Whatever. All bow to the power of the pun. So uh yeah, where were we? Oh yes. Glenn Close is joining Guardians of the Galaxy. I guess. I wish I had more understanding about who she was playing, and the such. I’m just so goddamn stupid when it comes to this Universe. (And in general, yes, okay, whatever.) With that in mind, let’s kick it to the story!
