‘Fast and Furious 9’ being directed by Justin Lin, who never should have stopped directing them
I say it without irony that Justin Lin’s run on the Fast and the Furious franchise is some of my favorite dumb-action-movie directing of the past 20 years or so. Not only that, but the series suffered a marked decline (again I’m serious), when he left after the sixth installment. Dude can direct an action sequence, friends. So, this is fucking fantastic news to me.

‘American Vandal’ getting second season, in an balls-affirming vote for insight and humor
The first season of American Vandal gives you the old Mary Poppins treatment. Loops you in with a humorous satire of our pop culture’s obsession with true crime banality. Then gives you a fucking enjoyable one-two sucker punch of pathos, and an interesting commentary on high school and documentaries. When all is said and done, you’re left with a surprising amount to chew on, and a vague yearning for more of the series. Well, guess what. More is officially coming.
‘Avengers 4’ set photo (once again) confirms Hawkeye is Ronin in the movie
Seems like every damn week we are given yet another confirmation that Hawkeye is going to be donning the mantle of Ronin in Avengers 4. Well, it’s a new fucking week! Here’s a new fucking confirmation!
‘Deathstroke’ movie coming from the director of ‘The Raid’ and this news is so goddamn good
Man. The director of The Raid is going to be making a fucking Deathstroke movie? I’m, I’m in. A batch of the old glorious Gareth Evans ultrav iolence splashed across an ultra violent character? Sign me up. Superhero movies and shows have been ripping off his style since the original Raid dropped, so it’s about time he just entered the genre himself. Showed everyone how it’s done.
Ben Mendelsohn in talks for ‘Captain Marvel’ villain role. Give him every villain role, tbh
Ben Mendelsohn is a fantastic actor, who was villainously underutilized as the villain in Rogue One. As such, it makes me fucking stoked to hear he is in talks to star as the villain in Captain Marvel. You know, another crack at being appreciated in a blockbuster role.
‘Logan’ director confirms he’s working on an ‘X-23’ movie script because fucking of course
Logan was a wonderful remix of The Road. Or The Last of Us. Or whatever. One of the highlights of the beautiful misery was X-23. So, it makes perfect sense to give the character her own movie.
‘Phantom Thread’ Trailer: You Can Sew Almost Anything Into The Canvass of a Coat
Man. I read the synopsis for Phantom Thread, the latest collaboration between writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson and actor Daniel Day-Lewis, and was like. No thanks. But then I watched the trailer, and I guess I didn’t know what else I was expecting, but I was instantly sold.
‘Star Trek: Discovery’ is getting a second season. It continues to, like, live long, and yadda blah
Star Trek: Discovery is getting a second season, friends! I honestly don’t know how people feel about the show, and I’m not watching it myself. But! I hope this excites a lot of people. Genuinely.
‘Halo 3’ and other Xbox 360 games getting enhanced for the Xbox One X
Man. Microsoft ain’t fucking around with their insanely opulent, excessively powerful console. The company has announced they’re not just enhancing some XB1 games for the console. No sir. No ma’am. Perhaps in an effort to justify throwing $500 at the console, the company is also going to be enhancing select Xbox 360 games.
The US is getting that sexy ass SNES-themed Nintendo 3DS XL, too
I don’t fuck with themed consoles *or* handhelds, but if I did? I would be all over this glorious fetish object.
