‘Resident Evil 1’ getting remastered in HD. Coming 2015.
The original Resident Evil is getting a new coat of paint in 2015. Which I guess makes sense. If you’re Capcom and you’ve completely lost track of what made a franchise work, might as well go back to the original. Maybe study its workings while replastering the walls and apply that knowledge to Resident Evil 7 or whatever. You folks gonna buy this shit? I’m tempted.

Que? Vince Vaughn in talks for ‘True Detective’ Season 2
Time is an endless series of horrible buddy comedies? Apparently Vince Vaughn is in talks to join True Detective‘s second season. Jokes aside — whatever. I have faith that the creatives can get the best performance out of him, and I get the impression Vaughn needs the win right now. Thoughts?
Maybe: Sony planning female-led Marvel superhero flick for 2017
For all of Marvel Studios’ success, the one consistent drumbeat (understandably) is for more diversity. A female-led movie. An African-American led movie. And while Marvel Studios’ Head Czar comes up with a litany of crap to explain away why they haven’t “found time in their release schedule” for a female-led movie, another studio is going go ahead and get this shit done. With a Marvel character. Before them. Good looks, Sony.

Blanka Boyz Episode 4: Mr. Lizard + Virtual Whoremongering
When I saw The Faux Bot tweet this morning that there was a new Blanka Boyz episode, I swerved right into fucking traffic. Hit the guard rail, rear-ended some dumb ass in his pristine BMW. Gave him the finger. Didn’t care. Now it wasn’t because of Faux, I don’t want him to feel guilty. It was because I was reading Twitter while drinking a Diet Dew and barreling down the highway at 73 mph. But, still! I’m really fucking jacked for this latest installment. Shots at Ubisoft for being sexist pieces of shit. Lizard slithering. And Benjamin Santiago artwork. Fuck to the yes.

Science-science-science-fiction up in this real (real?) world! NASA is strapping a fucking shitload of stuff onto their Mars 2020 rover. And one of them gadgets is MOXIE — a sumbitch’ that is intended to make oxygen from the CO2 is finds on the surface. Boom! Pow! Reality!
‘BIRDMAN’ International Trailer: Michael (Keaton) Meta Magic
I get the broad strokes of Birdman. Washed-up superhero actor attempting a comeback. Aside from that, not really sure. And I don’t fucking care. It looks beautiful.
Jenny Slate guest starring on ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’
Random TV coverage? Ain’t nothing random around these parts, fool. It’s the patterns you don’t see! The patterns you don’t see! Why am I covering Jenny Slate+Brooklyn Nine-Nine? ‘Cause Slate’s Obvious Child is one of my favorite movies of the summer, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine rules.
Cosplay: Pepper Potts rockin’ her own Iron Man suit
Or more specifically, she’s wearing R.E.S.C.U.E. from my lord and savior Matt Fraction’s run on Invincible Iron Man. It’s quite the lovely get-up, if you ask me.
