First Look: Shailene Woodley as MARY JANE in ‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.’ Viva la no snaggle tooth.
Things that were awesome in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy: not Kirsten Dunst. Well, she’s gone! Been replaced! Here is a look at Shailene Woodley as MJ, though like…It’s not really a good look. It’s pretty much just her walking around the set. Does that count? It does now, you swine!

Cosplay: FRISKY POWER RANGERS morph my childhood. Into latex dreams.
SFW? NSFW? Ain’t nobody nude. But still. All that childhood. Wrapped in latex. This makes perfect sense to me, but I was also in a collision today.
“VULCAN” wins Pluto’s moon-naming poll. Plus! Three-headed dogs.
The Vulcans have won, folks. Led by Spock, they have claimed victory in the poll which was deciding the name of two of Pluto’s moons. Pretty gnarly.
Marvel promising another HUGE EVENT THING with ‘MARVEL #1’ teaser. Yawn.
Oh shit! Be prepared. It is almost Spring, which means that it is almost time for Marvel to launch their year OMFG no seriously this is serious Spring into Summer Mega Event. Steel yourself, as the Status Quo quivers under the notion that the Status Quo is actually Shaking Up the State Quo. (Wait, what?)
Maybe: ‘ASSASSIN’S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG’ is franchise’s next installment. Here is a poster.
Another year. Another Ass Creed. The floodgates are open, and we are awash in the 2013 cycle of rumors surrounding the franchise. The latest? The next title will be starring Johnny Depp as Ass Creed Pirate, rollicking about the high seas. Or something close to that.
‘CALL OF DUTY’ creators revealing their new game at E3. About f**king time.
Those two guys who were fired by Activision because they were going to make like a zillion dollars in Modern Gunfaire royalities or whatever are finally going to reveal their new game. Yep. That’s right. Just in time to stand on the throat of the gasping generation they helped shape, Zampella and West will be dropping their much ballyhooed IP on our skulls at this year’s E3. Prepare yourselves.
First Look: The SPIDER-MAN SUIT from ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2.’
In a perfect world, or at least my perfect world, the new Spider-Man suit has no crotch. You get a good, long look at Parker’s own web shooter. Get it? Eh? Crap puns. Anyways, this is the darkest of timelines. No such thing is in the suit. However, it does look pretty spiffy.
Monday Morning Commute: Beasts & Smilers
This is Monday Morning Commute.
It’s been one of those interminable Mondays. The sort that strike during the deadness of winter, challenging me not to stick the gas pump up my ass while singing falsetto at everyone staring at me. The dumb, dank, dirty snow. The middle-finger flipping ashen sky. One of those Mondays when I have to write this little column, and unfortunately all I can muster is, “man, I’m pretty much not excited about anything.” Everything is dirty underneath my bitter little gums today. Here is a list of begrudgingly rustled things that I’m kind of, sort of, enjoying.
The Ghosts of Oscars Past
It’s that time of year again. Yes, that’s right, friends: The Oscars are on tonight. After months of hyping and marketing, the award ceremony will finally give the nod to the best of the year’s best, what deserves to be remembered for all times as the cinematic apotheosis of this very year. Thanks to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, each and every movie that wins the Best Picture statue becomes a cherished classic, worthy of eternal glory. And in order to get you more in the mood for tonight’s telecast (and in case there’s any lingering doubt in your mind that the AMPAS sometimes makes the wrong choice), here’s a video chronicling the illustrious winners of Oscars past. Take a look after the jump.
Pointless Rumor: ‘STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC’ movie may be in works.
Listen, everyone else is talking about this rumor. Why shouldn’t we? God dammit! Why shouldn’t we? Especially since KOTOR means so much to me. When the game dropped ten years ago (TEN YEARS?!), it taught me an important lesson. At the time, I was in the depths of a deep sadness. Star Wars had sucked for two movies in a row, and I was convinced. Convinced that the entire fucking Star Wars Thing sucked. Along came KOTOR and sliced through that blanket of statement, proving that the Universe itself was ripe. No, no. Star Wars didn’t suck. George Lucas did. So it would be particularly fitting to me if the game that proved a Universe’s Worth in the darkest of hours was given the filmic treatment. I don’t think it will, but hey. Let’s pretend.
