Weekend Open Bar: The End of the Universe Is A Puzzle
Hello friends of the Space-Ship. It’s been a minute since I cracked open the door on of those Communal Columns. But here I am. It’s been a week. It’s been a couple of weeks, honestly. We’ve owned a dog for three weeks. In that time, we’ve had to take her to the doctor four times. Including an emergency room visit. Turns out she has a bum ticker (which, as it stands now, may just be something she *lives with* instead of *dies from*, cross your fingers).

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ to be directed by Taika Waititi
With Thor 3, it appears that Marvel is once again thinking outside of the box. The studio is in talks with Taika Waititi (Flight of the Conchords) to direct the third flick, and it’s an interesting choice. At the very least. The cynic in me is like, “yeah, cause you don’t have to pay unproven directors.” The fanboy in me is like, “keep the talent eclectic, it’s good for the Universe.”
‘Jessica Jones’ Teaser Trailers: Alarm Clocks & Barroom Brawls
I don’t know what to make of Jessica Jones. I never read Alias back in the day, though I know it was pretty dope. I haven’t gotten much out of these first two teaser trailers. But yet I remain optimistic (while laying in my MCU fanboy pajamas and staring longingly at a picture of Kevin Feige). What do you take out of these trailers?
Zack Snyder talking to HBO about ‘Watchmen’ TV Series. I hate this.
When Zack Snyder ruined Watchmen, one of my sole sources of solace was the desperate rationalization, “Well, it couldn’t really be done in a movie, anyways. It needed to be a mini-series. Or a premium channel television show.” But now Zack Snyder wants to ruin this excuse for me, for he is apparently trying to ruin the comic series in televised format.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller (‘LEGO Movie’) developing “Serial’ TV show based off podcast
Phil Lord and Chris Miller can pretty much do anything, and I’m there. LEGO Movie. 21 Jump Street. That upcoming Han Solo movie. And so even though I don’t really *get* what this Serial adaptation is going to be, I’m down. It’s a documentary following the recording of a new season of Serial? Or something?
‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’ Story Trailer: Iron Men & Social Strife
I always play this games. Always. I can’t help it. I don’t want to help it.
‘The Revenant’ Trailer: He Was Buried Right
Fucking. Yes. The latest jam from the mind behind Birdman looks pretty goddamn thrilling. Like, white-knuckled, pinched-genitals type thrilling.
NASA: Present-day Mars shows strong evidence of flowing water
We got water! On Mars! Buckle me the fuck up and send me to the TerraDome. I’m ready to help colonize Mars. Seriously though, how futzing radical is this revelation? I’ll tell you: completely futzing radical.
