Watch: LEGO-powered Chicken McNugget vending machine
We have crossed the threshold, folks. Into a new world, where promises are kept, and Justice is True. Or, at the very least, where there exists a fully-operational LEGO Chicken McNugget vending machine. I’m not certain, but the latter may actually be a better world than the former.
Rumor: ‘Batman’ solo movie to co-star Will Smith’s Deadshot
Will Smith’s Deadshot is premiering next year in DC’s Suicide Squad, and it is looking like we may know where he will turn up next. In…Ben Affleck’s Batman flick? Admittedly, I don’t know Deadshot’s story very well. So maybe this makes sense in the grand scheme of the Bat-Mythos. But to an uneducated slob like me, it seems like “Let’s shove Character X into Character’s Y movie, because: star power!” Which, in the name of fairness, I will admit seems to be happening in the third Thor movie too.
Report: Idris Elba frontrunner for ‘The Dark Tower’ lead
Holy crap. How do you get me to give a futz about an adaptation of The Dark Tower? Cast Idris Elba.
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Chinese Trailer: All Falcon Everything
I’m not actually watching this trailer. ‘Cause, you know. Week out. But apparently it’s got a funk-load of Millennium Falcon, and Han Solo.
Rebecca Ferguson returning for ‘Mission: Impossible 6’, futz yeah!
Rebecca Ferguson was one of the best parts of the fifth Mission: Impossible flick, so I’m glad to see her returning for the sixth. Pretty excited about the movie in general. Director/Writer returning, female lead returning, theta levels off the fucking chart. Hell yeah.
Tarantino once again says he will be done after ten movies
More Tarantino news today. ‘Cause just like that WarStar flick coming out keeps us talking about that whole shebang, Tarantino’s Hateful Eight press tour got him on our minds. In the past The Old Quent has expressed a desire to stop making movies after his tenth, and while I rolled my eyes at the statement (perhaps because I don’t want to believe he will ever stop), apparently it ain’t all hot air.
Watch: Stream Xbox One games to Microsoft’s own HoloLens glasses
The future of augmented reality! Is! Surfing the slick Internet as a Console Cowboy! Or! No! It’s playing Halo 5 on the toilet as you rip a gnarly Doritos-and-Dew dump, courtesy of the HoloLens glasses adoring your cool, cool face.
Netflix’s ‘Iron First’ show has landed its showrunner
Showrunners! They are important, man. They can make a series fantastic, man. Or condemn it to assitude. Just like, you know, compare Noah Hawley to Nic Pizzolatto. So Iron Fist landing its showrunner may be equally important to the quality of its show as it landing its lead, and the show has done just that. The person running the show? Scott Buck.
‘The Hunger Games’ Prequel movies are probably coming from Lionsgate
Despite Hunger Games 3.5: The MockingReckoning making few less bank than the other installments, Lionsgate knows a cash cow when it sees one. The company has made an insane amount of money off of the franchise, and like all sensible folk they want to continue nursing that teat until it snaps off, reddened and miserable. How are they intending to do so? I’m glad you asked! Prequels, friends. Prequels.
