‘Star Wars’ Portraits capture the characters during their moments of relaxation
I always pegged Vader as enjoying some tea. When he’s not abandoning his children, committing genocide, or having an asthma attack. Now thanks to these portraits I can see him partaking in such a moment of calm! Plus, these portraits feature bits of momentary repose for some of the other characters from the Star Wars universe.
Watch: The Pluto System as seen by NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft
NASA has dropped another glimpse of the Pluto system, courtesy of New Horizons. Futzing 2015, yo. Just living in a year where we’re being beamed glorious quasi-footage from a goddamn Dwarf Planet way out there in the solar system. Glorious. Glorious.
Marvel Studios’ “Creative Committee” has disbanded, but I ain’t sweating it
Lots of restructuring going around in Marvel Studios this week. First it was announced that Kevin Feige more/less seized complete control of Marvel Studios from Isaac Perlmutter. Perlmutter being known for, you know, saying women don’t enjoy superhero flicks or need action figures. So I was like, okay, cool. And now comes news that Marvel Studios’ “Creative Committee” is being disbanded. Initial thoughts? I don’t really fucking care. At this point (seven years in), I’m willing to accept whatever Shepherd Feige has in mind for the MCU. He’s earned enough goodwill to buy my good faith thrice over, especially if reports of the “Creative Committee” was more a source of frustration for the minds behind than MCU than anything else. TL;DR – I trust Feige, let him have the MCU.
New ‘The Totally Awesome Hulk’ teaser has the green guy wearing a bandana. Iron Hulk? Hulk Fist?
Is the new Hulk going to be Iron Fist? Or is the Hulk rocking Logan’s sweet ass Pirate Mask from back when the Canadian Berserker rejected his adamantium? What do you think? I’ve been following the MU so sparsely outside of Secret Wars that I frankly don’t have a fucking clue.
Central Asian country Tajikistan has created its own planet in the solar system; named it after itself
Have to respect this power move by Tajikistan. Just up and creating its own planet. I mean, why not? With the villains and deadbeats of the Empire Proper generally disregarding science in the face of profit, why shouldn’t other nations throw empiricism and method to the wind? I applaud Tajikistan.
Report: Spielberg’s Dreamworks is splitting from Disney
I guess I didn’t even realize that Steven Spielberg’s Dreamworks was aligned with Disney. But I suppose this revelation is a tad late, since it’s only been brought to my attention to inform me that this partnership was ending. Alas.
‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Casting Shortlist: Tatiana Maslany, Gina Rodriguez, and Olivia Cooke
Haven’t we already danced the dance of temptation regarding Tatiana Maslany and Star Wars? If I recall correctly, she was up for a role in Rogue One. And now she’s back. In conversations for a significant role in Episode VIII. Getting me excited, again.
