Legendary Pictures Bringing ‘Mass Effect’ Movie Panel To Comic-Con.
Legendary Pictures is tasked with bringing a beloved fucking glorious video game franchise of mine to the flickering, silver, something, something, screen. This project of theirs sn’t something on the back burner. Oh no. In fact, there’s going to be a panel for the Mass Effect movie at Comic-Con.
Jealousy of attendees. Rising.

‘Uncharted’ Film Now Headed Up By ‘Limitless’ Director Neil Burger.
I sighed a big sigh of relief when David O. Russel and his Marky Mark-powered film adaptation of Uncharted fell apart and went down the toilet. The man tapped to replace O. Russel and Funky Bunch is Neil Burger, who recently directed Limitless.

A new promo image from The Hobbit has been released, and it’s pimping the dwarf brothers Dori, Nori, and Ori.
Monday Morning Commute: Red, White, and Nerd
The MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE is usually the spot where I share what I’ll be doing for entertainment in the following week. However, since today’s the Fourth of July I’ve got way too many beers, burgers, and illegal fireworks to enjoy. So in place a normal post, I’ve lazily found a bunch of videos that make me feel something about being American.
Enter hyperspace to see America at its arguably most American!
Face of a Franchise: The Batman!
[face of a franchise presents two individuals that’ve fulfilled the same role. your task — choose the better of the two and defend your choice in the rancor pit that is the comments section]
During my time as a passenger aboard Spaceship Earth, six live-action Batman films have been produced. Spanning across nineteen years, these movies have seen four different actors wearing the cowl, each offering their own take on the Dark Knight. As viewers, we’ve been incredibly privileged to see such different interpretations of a classic superhero.
But alas, only two of these thespians’ performances are worthy enough to engage in a fight to the death.
Marvel Making Short Films About Lesser Known Characters. Iron Fist, Son!
There isn’t any sort of Iron Fist short announced. Unfortunately. I can draw optimism that it may exist someday, with the announcement that Marvel is filming short movies based off of lesser known characters in their universe.
‘G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes’ Casts Wonder Woman, Wants John McClane.
The Wonder Woman pilot died a thousand deaths before it being announced it would never even see the light of death. Thankfully there’s some good news for Adrianne Palicki, who was going to play the Wondrous Woman. She’s been cast in the second G.I. Joe, while Bruce Willis may join the movie as well.
‘Thor 2’ Being Written By Don Payne. He Did F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Oh No.
Marvel-Disney-Corpo-World has revealed who is going to be writing ‘Thor 2’. His name is Don Payne, and he wrote Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. First Kenneth Bragnah isn’t involved, and now this. My sphincter tightens.
Stake Land: Slaying Vamps and Banging Tramps
The setting of a “post-apocalyptic” world is a great tool for movie mayhem. The problem is it’s been done to death. Classics of the genre like the Mad Max series and (one of my personal favorites) A Boy and His Dog exploit the theory that following the total breakdown of society, man will devolve into hyper-violent, insatiable savages. And hey, I agree. Add vampires to the mix and you’ve got Jim Mickle’s Stake Land. Initially the premise sounds like Zombieland meets The Road, but Stake Land is entirely its own monster: a convincing and fiercely human take on survival horror.
‘Plot Device’ Is The Best Short-Film-Advertisement-Thing In A While.
Plot Device is both a nine-minute short film, and an advertisement to show off the editing prowess of Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Suite 11. The film rips through a variety of genres, from noir to indie to sci-fi. It’s entertaining. My favorite part? The amazing use of lens flares everywhere in one segment. Take that, Abrams!
