Michael Fassbender still totally pumped for ‘Assassin’s Creed’ movie
Until I read this report, I had completely forgotten that Michael Fassbender was involved with an Assassin’s Creed movie. But indeed, he is! And he seems pretty stoked.

John Romero is the co-creator of Doom, however he may be equally known for his insane, impressively large failure Daikatana. Both of which are excellently chronicled in the book Masters of Doom.

‘Episode VII’ Non-News: Abrams teases droid hand in UNICEF winner reveal
Listen, I don’t want to hear it. I know this is non-news, inconsequential, whatever. But I’m just going to throw up my hands up and admit the truth: I can’t single-handedly reverse-engineer the media’s descent into madness.

Welcome, one and all, to another Weekend Open Bar! You are in for quite a treat this time because this is no normal Open Bar. Oh, no! If you didn’t already know, Team Omega will be reigning supreme at the Boston Comic Con again this weekend. A glorious three-peat if there ever was one.

And it’s easily the best thing going on this here Internet.
Warner Bros. reveals dates for nine DC Comics movies. Aiight.
With Marvel throughly dominating the movie game, it seems like Warner Bros. and DC want to remind everyone they’re deathly committed to churning out their own comic book movies. V. SERIOUS, V. GRAY movies starring V. SAD and V. BROODING CHARACTERS (#TrollAllDay #TrollAllNight). This reminder has taken the shape of nine revealed release dates from the company, with Zack Snyder and David S. Goyer confirmed to write and direct all of them (#TrollingIntensifies).
Though not yet confirmed, it’s also been reported that WB is in talks with Crayola’s Gray, Black, and Sad crayons, and the concept of Monochrome to sponsor their bill of flicks. Here’s hoping!
