First Photo on the Set of the Warcraft Movie
I admit,
this photo is not that exciting. Actually not at all. But it is extremely
important. At one point I and many others thought that the movie is not even
happening, that it was stuck in development and it is never coming out of
there, but this photo confirms that we will see this movie.
I am not a
World of Warcraft player, so I am really not informed with the story, races,
classes and all of this stuff. But I have always been interested and excited
for the Warcraft movie. Whatever my friends have told me about the game and its
story sounded interesting to get me excited about this flick.
The photo
is of the director Duncan Jones watching his actors at work. The movie will
star Ben Foster, Paula Patton, Travis Fimmel, Toby Kebbell, Dominic Cooper, Rob
Kazinsky, Daniel Wu and Clancy Brosn. It will be in 3D and 2D. It is set to be
released on March 11th, 2016.

The Fantastic Four Reboot is a "Coming of Age Story" and "More Real and Gritty"
Recently
there is a trend amongst comic books filmmakers that is to make their movies
serious, dark, dramatic, and I blame Christopher Nolan for that. This kind of
strategy worked for Nolan’s Batman and kind of worked for Man of Steel, but it
is not supposed to be applied to every single superhero movie. Now the
Fantastic Four reboot are doing it.
There were rumors
that the script and production of the new Fantastic Four has been scrapped,
totally destroyed to start a new project. Either this did not happen, or the
new project is even worse. There are unfortunately no confirmations of changing
cast, so we expect to see the old bunch of retards that have nothing in common
with the Fantastic Four. And they will be taking part in a “coming of age story”,
as Simon Kinberg, the producer stated in an interview with IGN.
The movie
will be “an origin story”, which is pretty self-explanatory since we are
dealing with a freaking reboot. It follows them before they “really know what a
superhero is”, which is cool, again like pretty much any origin story. The
characters will be “older than high school, but they are not quite grown into
the world”, which means we are probably dealing with college student. So are we
expecting keg parties and frats? A new Project X movie with superheroes? Probably
not. Kinberg does not say that they are getting their powers from space, but
they are getting their powers from “from some sort of scientific travel”. What
the fuck? What does this mean? Probably involves inter dimensional portals like
in some of the comic books. Scientific travel… bullshit. Also “by the end of
the movie we don’t call them the Fantastic Four”- interesting, since I thought
that the movie is called the Fantastic Four. “They’re not celebrity
superheroes, the tone is much more grounded, real and gritty. More in the
direction of Chronicle”- Chronicle was not that good. It did OK, but just OK.
Do you want your movie to be just OK? Anyway, Victor von Doom is set to be in
that movie, and please do not mess him up, he is one of the most amazing Marvel
villains ever.
So from
what I’ve learned from the interview, expect a hipster Fantastic Four reboot.
You have most certainly caught my angry tone here, but I can’t help it. The
whole idea of the movie sounds ridiculous. Anyway, as I said the cast has not
changed, which is ridiculous. So we have Miles Teller as Reed Richards which is
stupid, Kate Mara as Sue Storm which I actually find OK, Michael B. Jordan as
Johnny Storm which I have no idea how is that going to work, and Jamie Bell as
Ben Grimm, the Thing, which is really stupid.
The movie
is set to be released June 19th 2015, and I am telling you, I will
watch it, but I do not promise I will watch it in cinemas. I am not happy with
the current development, but I hope something changes or however stupid I find
this script, that it actually works out and that I am very wrong. Fingers
crossed.
J. Jonah. Jameson to Appear in Future Spider-Man, J.K. Simmons Could Return for the Role
One cult
Spider-Man character we have not seen in the Spider-Man reboot is the
editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle and employer of Peter Parker- J. Jonah
Jameson. He is the one guy who truly hates Spider-Man probably as much as
Spidey’s enemies, without actually being a villain himself, but being more of a
comic relief and a pain in the ass for Peter Parker.
It is
confusing why he did not make any appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
Jameson did have memorable appearance in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, and it was
hilarious. We so indeed get some Easter eggs in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 about
Peter Working for J. Jonah Jameson, but no appearance. So we know Peter is
working for him, but we do want to see him. The Easter egg itself made me laugh
like a retard, so imagine seeing this lunatic for real.
What made
the role of J. Jonah Jameson amazing, however, was the acting of J.K. Simmons
in Sam Raimi’s movies. J.K. Simmons was made for this role. He looks like
Jameson, he talks like Jameson, he was born to be Jameson. I seriously cannot
imagine any other man on this planet who can play this role. Only Simmons can.
And Marc Webb agrees to that as well.
Marc Webb,
the director of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has stated in a Google+ Question and
Answer session that he would like him to appear in the next movie, and that “It
was more easy to accept a new Spider-Man than someone who could outdo J.K.
Simmons. He is iconic”. Is this a confirmation? Are we going to see J.K.
Simmons come back to play his sort of legendary role as Peter’s pain in the
ass? Well, Webb did say “I think you can expect him in the future”. That is
close enough!

Amazing Guardians of the Galaxy/ Parks and Recreations Mash-Up
This is one smartly made video, using Guardians of the Galaxy characters being introduced in the opening intro of one of the funniest shows ever- Parks and Recreations. This is all because the actor who plays Star-Lord and the Parks and Recreations total dumbass Andy is the same- the hilarious Chris Pratt. Chris Pratt is most famous for his role of Andy, but I see all that canging in the future as he enters the Marvel Universe. A lot culd happen in the next years for Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, especially if the rumours that the Guardians will play a major role in Avengers 3 is true. But for me he will always remain Andy, whos favourite food is butter and pretend to be Burt Maclin with the f****ng FBI!
Infographic of All Spider-Man Masks
Throughout
the history of Spider-Man, he has worn a great deal of different outfits. Some
of them are more memorable than the rest. The traditional red and blue outfit
and the black Symbiote outfit are the two most famous ones, but there are some
I can’t remember, especially the ones from the Identity Crisis series. The
traditional Spider-Man outfit itself is being changed all the time. If you look
at the details of the comic book Spidey and the Sam Raimi series outfit you
will notice some difference, especially in the color of the web lines. Not only
that but some changes can be seen even in the outfit of Spidey in The Amazing
Spiderman and the outfit in its sequel. But these are just a few of the many
different outfits. And I think they are all great. Here below is a history of
the Spider-Man mask in movies, comic books and animation.

Is Bucky
Going to be the New Captain America in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe?
Many hints suggest
that at some point Bucky Barnes will replace Steve Rogers as Captain America in
some upcoming movie. Such hints include comic book story, possible subtle hints
and the contracts of the actors.
First of
all it is a pretty well-known fact, at least amongst comic book fans, that Steve
Rogers dies and Bucky Barnes- the Winter Soldier, takes his place as the new
captain America. Now Marvel Studios could be doing something different, they
are not always following exactly what is going on in the comic books, such as
in Iron Man 3 making the Mandarin a stupid actor. But the Winter Soldier
becoming Captain America is a pretty big deal and a shocker, so could this be
happening? Will we see Steve Rogers die? We must wait and see.
If you
watched the movie closely as I did because of my pure excitement, you will
notice that during the first fight scene between Captain America and the Winter
Soldier, the Winter Soldier gets a hold of the shield of Captain America and
there was a significant pause on that image- the Winter Soldier with Cap’s
shield. The image is below. Some say that this significant pause is an Easter-egg
showing how Marvel Studios want to continue the Winter Soldier’s tale. I think
this is stupid. One pause does not determine the outcome of a whole franchise
and the whole of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. So I call bullshit on that ‘prophesy’,
but I might be wrong. This might have been put for that exact reason, to
foreshadow the future.
The final
reason I have discovered is the one making the most sense out of all of them. I
think Steve Rogers is going to die, because Chris Evans is signed up for six
marvel movies, while Sebastian Stan, the actor who portrays Bucky is signed up
for nine movies. Also Chris Evans has already played in three of his six movies
(Captain America 1 &2, The Avengers) and Sebastian Stan has eight more to
go. So it is more likely that Steve Rogers will die, as I do not think that
Marvel Studios can just keep on making Winter Soldier character centered eight
more movies. They will probably do one or two more. But I might be wrong. He
might get his own franchise, or become and Avenger, or start his own detective
company for all I know.
We must
wait and see. I do think Steve Rogers will die; there are enough reasons that
agree with me. But I might be wrong and I do actually hope I am wrong. Chris
Evan’s Captain America is really good.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Lives Up To The Hype
I
was not satisfied with the first Amazing Spider-Man, but this sequel is making
up for it. Pretty much everything
with this movie is amazing from the beginning until the end. Real to the comics
in everything, be it fight scenes or Spidey’s awesome and hilarious attitude
towards everything, including annoying the hell out of his enemies with stupid
jokes and sarcasm. Marc Webb did a terrific job.
In this movie we not only see a Peter
Parker who is only fighting to try and stop the bad guy while keeping low
profile and being a controversy in New York society. Here everyone loves
Spider-Man, but Parker has his inner demons. He is afraid of Gwen Stacy being
in danger and the promise he made to her father remains in his mind,
challenging him on what to do about his relationship, as his image appears to
him constantly. The secret of why his father left him with his aunt and uncle
haunts Peter as well, as he wants to know if there is any deeper meaning,
reason or even conspiracy behind their decision of leaving their child and even
conspiracy behind their death.
The movie also focuses on problems of the
other characters. Electro used to be a scientist in Oscorp, neglected by
everyone, no family and no friends, obsessed with Spider-Man and his image.
After gaining his abilities in an accident and believing and angry because he
is hated rather than loved unlike Spider-Man, he tries to become all-powerful
to plunge New York into fear and hopelessness without Spider-Man. Harry Osborn,
a childhood best friend of Peter, returns to New York after being in boarding
school and traveling abroad for the past 8 years, to see his father on his
death bed for the last time, to find out he himself might be dying from an
genetic disease passed down the Osborne family. He tries to use all his father’s
company has to offer to cure himself, while his lawyers try to gain market
share since the last incident with the Lizard and thus, unintentionally clash
with Harry’s goals. Gwen on the other hand does not know whether to continue a
relationship with Peter or move forward into pursuit of her other dreams while
aunt May still fights the loss of uncle Ben.
The music was great. There are many cameos
of the original Spider-Man soundtrack- either as Peter’s ringtone or Spidey
whistling it. Electro’s fight scenes had probably the most amazing music I have
heard in a movie in a while. It is sort of a mixture between electronic music
and part rock and metal. Electro should be named Dubstep Man. The original
soundtrack by Kendrick Lamar and Alicia Keys is very enjoyable as well.
Overall, a really great movie. I cannot
say I enjoyed it more than Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, but this movie is way
better than Spider-Man 3 or The Amazing Spider-Man. It opens many possibilities
for continuation, we get our confirmation for Sinister Six and so much is going
on in the movie. A true comic book movie.
A Venn Diagram of Marvel Character Ownership
It is no secret that Marvel Studios do not have possession of most of their characters. They are divided between Sony, Fox and Universal with Lionsgate are kind of losers in this case. But the Big 3 companies that possess Marvel characters are Marvel Studions, Fox and Sony. Below is the guide to Marvel's characters studio rights, the guide which has circled the internet at least a million times.
As you can see Fox owns pretty much all that is to do with the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. Which raises a question, who owns She-Hulk? I mean she was a member of the Fantastic Four, so she should be owned by Fox, but she is a Hulk, who is owmed by Marvel Studios. Then the mixture between Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch- the two children of Magneto owned by Fox, have shared rights with Marvel Studios. Which is interesting, since Fox owns the word "mutant", and Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are clearly mutants! Which is where Marvel Studios are smart- if you have seen Captain America: The Winter Soldier mid-credit scene, you will notice Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch being refered no as mutants, but as "miracles"... How awesome is that? Just like many zombie movies, where no one says "zombies"- you get infected, walkers, dead, undead and so on, so why not use "miracles" instead of mutants?
You see Marvel Studios owns the rights to heroes such as Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Elektra, overall characters who have terrible movies historically. Only Blade owned by Marvel Studios is one of the early Marvel Studios successes. So we see how Marvel Studios has changed historically- from pretty bad movies, kicked by Sony and Fox, to now having an amazing Cinematic Universe and great fan satisfaction. Sony is probably the one that always has been on the top with fan happiness, but in my own opinion they are not doing that good with The Amazing Spider-Man. Fox have done some pretty bad choices with X-Men: The Last Stand and with X-Men: Origins. So currently, in the last 5 years Marvel Studios are probably doing the best, while before that Fox and Sony did good with Marvel being a big loser.
Now, Universal Pictures and Lionsgate... They are like the disgrace of the family. Lionsgate with the Man-Thing are definetely hilarious. Lionsgate does some animated movies for Marvel, such as Planet Hulk, which was OK, but live action flick for Marvel are not Lionsgate's thing. And Universal with Namor is not doing so good either, there is at least a Man-Thing movie as I recall, there hasnot been a Namor movie. Probably because Namor is not very famous outside the Marvel comic book fans, but still, if you have possession of a Marvel character you should damn do a Marvel character movie! This is where the money is nowadays, even if the movie is to suck! I do hope Namor gets a movie, he is a badass.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 End Credits Scene Features Days of Future Past
Reports say this is true, even though I can personally not confirm it. But since sources such as IGN confirm it as well as many others, than it must be true. I will personally see this tonight. Do not get excited though, Spidey will not be featured in X-Men! The explanation of the scene is quite boring actually.
It is all contract based. Marc Webb- the director of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has already got an exitsting cintract with Fox Searchlight for another film since his 2009 film 500 (Days) of Summer, which I have not seen. But Webb was wooed by Sony for the Spider-Man sequel, which Fox was not happy with, since they demanded one more Webb movie, but Fox finally agreed to let Webb do the Spidey movie if Days of Future Past is promoted in there... for free! And this is how Days of Future Past crawled its way into The Amazing Spider-Man 2!
The scene features Mystique, Toad and Stryker. I want to believe that these are first steps into Sony and Fox putting these two franchise together for a flick, but I wont hold my breath. Anyway, tonight I am seeing the movie, so stay tuned for a review.

Reading Avengers vs X-Men and It Is Truly Epic
This is a clash between superheroes worthy of recognition. The amount of power that is seen in such a battle is comparable even to the mighty Marvel Civil War. What got my attention is that Wolverine is on the Avengers side. I mean I am only surprised because he is more of an X-Men member than some on the X-Men team and because I have not read many comics leading up to this event. I got arounf to Avengers vs X-Men after reading Avenger X-Sanction, which features the Avengers team vs Cable, who is protecting Hope. This is really interesting and I will continue reading Avengers vs X-Men. This is a picture from the comics.

Near Death During Thor: The Dark World Filming
Jaimie Alexander is the extremely beautiful actress who plays Sif, Thor's Asgardian comrade in both Thor and Thor: The Dark World, and even makes appearance in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. What few people know is that she nearly died while filming Thor 2, I mean I just found that out. Aparently she slipped off a metal staircase at the set of the movie during a rainy day at 5am. She says that the result was a month of no filming for her. Her fall resulted in many injuries, but thanks God no pernament damage. She dislocated her left shoulder, chipped 11 of her vertebrae (aka 11 of the bones in her back spine), and also has slipped a disk in her spine. Ouch! I have to say it is a miracle she is alive. A really lucky girl.
Star Wars Reimagined as WWII Style Propaganda- an Amzing Artwork
Following the link below is some pretty beautifyl art done by the illustrator Russell Walks. He uses Star Wars themes and redraws them into the art style used in the 1940s. The effect is pretty amazing, as if Earth used such technology and ideas when Hitler invaded. Amazing. Here is the link to the gallery:
Plans for an X-Men Spinoff Featurtin Mystique
All the spin-offs from the X-Men Universe that we have seen so far are centered around Wolverine- X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolverine, that is if we do not count X-Men First Class as a spin-off, which I personaly do not. However we see a rising popular interest in Jennifer Lawrence. I mean since The Hunger Games she has become quite popular- she is loved on the internet, she stars in more and more big movies and is considered as the most down-to-earth actress around. So it is no wonder that Fox is thinking of soing an all-Mystique mvie. This is all cool, but I personally would love to have seen some other character's spin-off. I mean what is going on with Deadpool? He is in the X-Men Universe! We want him! Also I would much rather see a Cyclops, Nightcrawler or even a Storm movie. Still, Holluwood is obsessed with Jennifer Lawrence, which I do not say it is bad, I totally get why. But this means less cool characters have their spin-offs. If this movie happens, I hope Fox does not mess it up like X-Men Origins or X-Men The Last Stand.

Karl Urban, aka Judge Dredd, Urges for Fan
Support for Dredd 2
Karl Urban is the actor who played Judge
Dredd in the not so succesful, but I swear to God, extremely amazing Dredd
movie. That is the 2012 movie called Dredd 3D, which is way better than the
Stallone Judge Dredd movie. The 2012 movie was hardcore, graphic and as dark as
it can get, which means close to the comic and what the real fanboys wanted- an
R-rated Dredd. This is the reason why it did not do so good- kids
could not watch it, people had no idea what was going on. However, by donating money, the sequel
can happen. The video shown is Karl Urban asking us kindly to help Dredd 2
happen.
The links for the support petition
are as follows:
Captain America Drama: Hawkeye Reference by Black Widow in The Winter Soldier
Hawkeye did not appear in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. However he sure as hell was referenced by no other than Scarlett Johansson's character Black Widow. She wore a necklase which had an arrow on it. People would say this is stupid, that this is just a coincidence, but it is not. Joe and Anthony Russo- the two brothers and directors of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, have stated that this in fact is a reference to Hawkeye. Joe Russo has stated : "Honestly, [the arrow necklase], was a choice that Scarlett herself made as her character. Her relationship with Hawkeye will become very clear in Avengers 2". What does this mean? After all the hinting and sexual tension in Avengers is it possible that they are couple? I mean you could cut the tension between these two with a knife. The necklace does indeed hint towards a romance.

Iron Patriot Joins Avengers: Age of Ultron
Iron Patriot- what a dumb name. I was really against it from Iron Man 3. I think War Machine sounds way cooler, and to be fair War Machine looks a bit better than Iron Patriot (my opinion). Iron Patriot is like Captain America and Iron Man had a baby. Anyway, Iron Patriot is going to be taking part in Age of Ultron, something which I did expect to happen. This means we have a crazy rooster for the Avengers- we have Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Hawkeye, (possibly) Black Widow, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch and Iron Patriot, with possiblt Ant-Man and the Falcon. So this is pretty cool, I expect a lot of explosions, as if Michael Bay, not Joss Whedon directed this movie.
Marvel Rumours- An X-Force Movie
There are some rumours circulating that Marvel is preparing to make a movie based on the superheroes in the X-Force group. The X-Force are a group in the X-Men universe. The X-Force are also consisted of mutants, fighting for the cause of mutant equality, much like the X-Men (too many Xs), but are somewhat a more military organisation and dont just wait arund for a crisis to take place in order to act. The roster of mutants constantly changes since 1991, but the mutant equality cause remains. Wolverine has been a member and Colosus is currently a member. If the movie happens, I so forsee Wolverine in there because Fox love making every single X-Men or X-Men related movie to have Wolverine as the main man and the centre of the Universe, which I personally do not particularly like. Deadpool has also been in the X-Force, I think, so this could actually be a way to introduce a movie based only on Deadpool, as Ryan Reynolds is still fighting for the Deadpool movie to be actually made, as we want it to.
According to IGN it is confirmed that Cable and Deadpool will be part of the X-Force. This is good news for Ryan Reynolds and the X-Force fans. Jeff Wadlow, who has been hired as the director of the adaptation also has stated that the movie will feature five characters. Who are they? I do not know. I hope this chick that gets her bones out is there. Other sources say that the character Apocalypse- the ancient mutant, will have amajor role, which hints that the movie could have more in common with X-Men Apocalypse rather then Days of Future Past. There are no sources saying that Wolverine will participate, so my above speculation might be wrong. Dont get me wrong, I love him, but not in every movie.
Now, according to IMDb, the X-Force plot is about time travel: "A time-traveler assembles a team of mutants in order to prevent the wrecked future he came from". Days of Future Past much? This plot really does seem like a second version of the upcoming X-Men movie, However, we know Cable is a time traveler in the comic books as well. Other rumours circulating are that Stephen Lang is to play Cable. If you do not know who Stephen Lang is, as I did not know until a secong ago, he is the actor who played the bad guy in Avatar. Overall, I do not like the idea of time travel, only because Days of Future Past are doing it and time travel becomes too milked. But if Fox is willing to make a proper tie-in between the two movies, then I am all up for it. The movie according to IMDb has already been announced. However other sources say it is only rumoured. God I hope that it is going to happen. If it happens, it is planned for 2016.
Overall, there is really a lack of evidence stating that this is definetely happening. I really want it to happen, I mean Cable is a badass and Deadpool appearing- hell yeah! But if it is totally in development, as many sources say it is, there is a big chance that this is where it remains- just like Deadpool, X-Men Origins: Magneto and Gambit. But I am an optimist, so I say there is a good chance that this happens and I will pray to the movie Gods for X-Force.

Peter Mayhew, aka Chewbacca, is Back for Star Wars VII
We have pretty much seen now the return of the old cast, especially with Chewie, Han Solo's partner in crime. I think this is amazing, I mean who doesnt like Chewbacca? He is big, furry, weird, like a massive dog (which he was in Spaceballs). And overall he is a badass! The Mighty Chewbacca! This means totally back to origin for Star Wars. There were rumours that J.J. Abrams was looking for a younger guy to play the role of Chewbacca, as the costume is pretty heavy. But Peter Mayhew being back, this means the Star Wars magic is all pretty much back, and everyone being scarred from Episodes I, II and III will be happy.

Nick Fury to Make an Appearance in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Finale
After some broadway play he plays at, Sam L. Jackson was asked if he will make another cameo in a Marvel movie. His words were: "I did! Last week! I just shot the end-of-the-season show". I can say this is pretty cool. I am actually currently watching episode 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D since Captain America: The Winter Soldier inspired me to do so. I want to move quickly through the show and get to the chronological point after The Winter Soldier. Next week Cobie Smulders will make an appearance as well. Anyway, the idea of Colson and Fury back again sounds epic. Currently, I think that the second episode of the show is a bit better than the pilot, and since I trust Joss Whedon, I know it will get better. I want a bit more action kind of show, less superhero, more shooting James Bond style, but ofcourse mixing the sci-fi elements to blend in. I hope the show gets better as I move along, but I expect the finale to be awesome. I mean Nick fucking Fury played by Samuel Motherfucker Jackson! He will kick some motherfucking ass!
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a Total Game Changer
Short summary, this movie is unbelievable. I can easily say this is one of the most interesting movies that I have seen in a couple of years. This movie was so good, that it made me want to watch Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, which some of you might know, I got bored watching from the first episode. The movie is rather dark, compared to other Marvel movies, but has many comedy moments to still be able to brighten the movie and make it a great joy to watch. The plot twists in this movie are amazing- they are very cleverly written. A bit of information, the Winter Soldier, even though playing a major threat to the Captain, is not the worst S.H.I.E.L.D has to battle. S.H.I.E.L.D is being threatened from the inside, Captain is targeted, there are secrets, there is betrayal. The movie I can say fits perfectly as a challenge to the NSA tracking on everybody and I am sure Captain America is an Edward Snowden supporter. There is a cameo of Peggy as an old woman in a retirement home (Peggy is the girl Captain fancied in the first movie). Actually this movie is very closely related to the first captain America movie, more related than lets say Iron Man and its sequels and prequels or Thor 2 and the first one. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is a very important point for the Marvel Universe, because after this movie everything changes, and I totally mean it. The post credit scene is amazing as well, as we meet Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, but that is for another post. Overall, this movie is a masterpiece. A must watch for any comic book or general movie fan. This movie completely changed the franchise of all the Avengers. I want to see what will happen in Age of Ultron now.

Captain America 2 Tonight
So I am going to watch Captain America The Winter Soldier tonight, in 2 hours. This post is a heads up to wait for my review tomorrow. I will try not to spoil as much as possible and I promise, there will be warning for spoilers if there are to be any expected. Anyway, I am super excited. Nearly every critic or any average Joe watching it says it is amazing and even better than the Avengers, which to me sounds like a lot of bullshit, but if it is true, I need to see this movie really badly. So here I am, after coming back home, after no one in bloody England made any efford to go and watch it with me when it was kind of a pre- US release, I am now in good old Bulgaria watching it like a normal dude, and not like a nerd with a blog.

All Female Expendables Movie- Has Feminism Gone Too Far
It has been a while since I have written, but that is due to medical issues and travel- so dont fucking judge me. Anyway, I am back home in Bulgaria, and I read this shit. The female Expendables sounds to me like a retarded idea. The idea of the Expendables is that they are old, like really old action legends, coming together. I cannot think of any old action legends who are women, except Sigourney Weaver. My casting for the movie is- Sigourney Weaver, Betty White, Tina Turner, Madonna, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Judi Dench and Susan Sarandon. That would be the biggest joke ever! Now, lets face it, they will not choose old action actresses, so they will chose hot action actresses, probably Anjelina Jolie, Uma Truman, Michelle Rodriguez, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba and such. So actually pretty cool, since guys are into women and weapons. The photo below is photoshopped, from Google, not real poster. Lets hope the movie is sexy!

#BRINGDOWNTHEKING - Tweet to Destroy His Statue or High Five To New Zealand
This is some of the smartest advertising for season 4 of Game of Thrones. The idea is pretty awesome, every time you tweet using the hashtag #BRINGDOWNTHEKING the rope arounf the statue of Joffrey get tighter until the statue falls. The statue is situated in Auckland New Zealand and the website promoting this has set up two live cameras around the statue so that you see what is going on. 1 million tweets are needed to take him down. This is seriously a lot of fun. Congratulations to New Zealand. Here is the link:
Emilia Clarke- the Khalessi, to play Sarah Connor in Terminator: Genesis
Emilia Clarke, who is most famous for her role as Daenerys Targarien in Game of Thrones, is cast to play Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot- Terminator: Genesis. I personally cannot see Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, and that is why I have little faith in this reboot. Arnold Schwarzenneger is to play the Terminator again, and I am not sure whether he will go after Sarah Connor or protect her. If he tries to kill her, she might use her dragons to burn the crap out of him. He will survive though, Arnold always survives.
Porn Stars in Game of Thrones Season 4
This is the first attempt of HBO casting actual current porn starts for Game of Thrones, after Sibel Kekilli, who is an ex-porn star and plays Tyrion's prostitute/pretend girlfriend. The new porn actresses that have been cast are Jessica Jensen, Samantha Bentley and Aeryn Walker. I personally have never in my life heard of these women. I do not know how is that going to work out, since acting in porn is not always very good. Funny thing is I know some people who watch Game of Thrones only because of the sex scenes and do not want to read the book series after I told them that the books have less sex and more epic... Idiots.
More Harry Potter!
Three more Harry Potter movies have been confirmed to be taking place. The movies will not exactly be centered around harry Potter himself, but will be set in the Harry Potter unoverse. They will be prequels based on the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a book that exists in the Harry Potter universe, but JK Rowling actually wrote it for our universe as well, but get this- it is only about 55 pages long! The movies are called MegaMovies, there will be three of them, from a 55 page book... The reason for that? Money of course! Anyway, I would have much rather seen a movie based on the book Quidditch Through The Ages, also existing in both our and the Harry Potter universe, but who knows this might happen. I just hope the franchise does not get milked too much.

Google Winning 1st of April with the Pokemon Challenge
Happy 1st of April readers, how are you guys doing? There are ofcourse many 1st of April jokes going around by big corporations and such, for example in the UK some newspaper convinced the people that the Queen is drilling for oil in her back yard. But this joke tops all jokes ever. All because Google is pretty much playing with our emotions. Wathc this video of the Google Maps Pokemon Challenge and tell me, do you not want this to be actually true? Who knows, somethime in the future this could be quite possible. This thing if it ever happens will combine outdoor activities with freaking Pokemon! How cool is that? But again, no! Not happening! Happy First of April Guys!

My Firefly Flag
I do not know what got into me to do that, but recently I went on to E-Bay and hust bought the flag of the Independence Mocement from Firefly. I think I might have actually been a bit drunk at that point. Anyway, it was not very cheap and all. This is the Browncoats flag, the flag of the Independence Movement that fought the Alliance, historically before the events of Firefly the show. This is actually pretty cool and I love it. It hangs in my dorm room. The flag is actually pretty massive, do not let the photo fool you.

The Vampire Diaries vs The Originals
First of all, I am really sorry for the lack of posts this weekend. I wasnt feeling good, a bit of issues with myself and stuff, but since real life kicks in with Monday, I am writing to get back to normal while writing an economics essay. Anyway, I have seen all of the released episodes of The Originals and started watching season 5 of The Vampire Diaries. So I want to compare them. I personally prefer The Originals, because it is a bit more violent, it is way darker, Klaus is there so thats a plus, Rebekah and Hayley's actresses are a crush of mine since I was 10 after my sister watched this terrible mermaid show and it is overall a lot more action taking place. I mean in the course of less than 20 episodes so much stuff happened. Always new big enemies appear, always someone betraying someone, friendships, allies, enemies, secrets, deaths, a lot of stuff in so little time. The Vampire Diaries is really enjoyable, but I feel it is a bit more girly. I am not saying the show is bad, it is infact amazing as fuck, but it is still focusing a lot on love. Still, I love the whole cast of The Vampire Diaries, a lot of characters and complications happening. Elena becoming a vampire took me by a surprise and all. Seriously, great show. But I still prefer The Originals. I promise I will watch them both. I love both shows, however not equally. I cant wait to see what will happen with Silas in Season 5 and what is actually going on. Bonnie's death is a bit sad too.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trailer is... OK I Guess
This is what I feel towards this trailer. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michael Bay version has been a topic of massive arguments and contraversy. April O'Neal (not the pornstar), played by Megan Fox, is not the best cast choice I have to say. I do not see Splinter in the trailer, which is bad. I like that the turtles still have their sense of humour. But the turtles to be fair are ugly as fuck. Any way, I hope it is not messed up, I do not want future generations to know this as the popular TMNT if it sucks.
Happy 15th Birthday Futurama
Good news, everyone, I have a confession. I prefer Futurama more than the Simpsons. Yep, it is true. Also I have a deep, deep love for Zoidberg. I think he is the funnies creature ever. Bender, is hilarious in an anarchist kind of way. Fry, he is as dumb as Homer. The professor, the funny shit that happens because of his madness. All characters are great, even the supporting character- Scruffy, Robot Satan, Nixon, all are awesome. The creativity in this show is crazy. Thats why I am really sad that it is cancelled. But, seriously, Happy Birthday to this amazing show. I hope that there is an even slight hope and chance of Futurama returning, even though it has been cancelled like three times. Futurama, you will forever be in my heart.

It's Batman's 75th Anniversary This Year... Party Everywhere
This year DC Comics and Warner Bros and anything that has anything to do with the most famous, most amazing, the coolest, the biggest badass and so on superhero- Batman, will do something epic. This is why Arkham Knight is coming out pretty much and this is why it will be pretty epic. Other cool stuff is Batman expos and stuff, new celebrationary logo coming up, famous contemporary artists drawing hte logo in cool ways, special comic book issues, and I nearly forgot.. the old batman TV show from the 60s is coming on DVD! The one with Adam West, the mayor of Quahog in Family, the show with all the POW!, PAW! and funny stuff and cool dance! How cool is that? And there is a sweepstake. You can apply only if you are from the US, which is not an issue to most of you, my readers, since 90% from you are from the USA, but this means that I cannot apply, as cant the rest of the world, which kind of makes me feel shit... Still, a lot of cool Batman shit coming out this year. Cant wait for it. I will make a Batman party sometime.
First Set Photo of Gotham
This is the first photo taken of the filming of the TV show Gotham, about Jim Gordan before Batman, a show we just cant wait for. This actress is Jada Pinkett Smith, who is playing a street smart badass gang boss by the name of Fish Mooney, a bit of a retarded name to be fair. Fish Mooney is also the boss of young Oswald Cobblepot, or also known as The Penguin. This is taken in New York, where I think most if not all of Gotham will be filmed. Cant wait for the end result of the show.
Rumours of Chris Evans Leaving His Role as Captain America
I read somewhere that Chris Evans is considering to not play his awesome role as Captain America. Chris Evans is not happy that his other roles get little to no recognition. He has passion of directing movies- he has directed a small movie called 1:30 Train, and has taken part in a couple of movies since Captain America The First Avenger, including The Iceman, Ouncture, What's Your Number and now an international, to be fair mainly Korean distopian future movie called Snowpiercer. Chris Evans is not happy that nobody sees these movies, which are to be fair critically aclaimed. Chris Evans is an actor that wants development, and not to be recognised as a single character. Well, that will be hard to challenge. Anyway, these are just rumours, might not happen. Lets hope not.

Bradley Cooper to be the New Indiana Jones? Actually Very Likely
It has been anounced and confirmed that Indiana Jones 5 is taking place, but with a bit of a twist. Indiana Jones is completely changed! The new Iindy is rumoured to be Bradley Cooper who will play a younger Indiana Jones... Wow! Rumours are that this will be a whole new trilogy focusing on Bradley's Indiana Jones representation, and sorry, I promised myself to be calm, but... NOOOOOOO! This is a first sign of Disney totally destroying George Lucas's legacy. If this is happening to Star Wars as well, I am going mad. So we might never see good old Harrison Ford as Indy again, something I hoped for, even at his age and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull turning out pretty shit. Well, at least we will not see any of Shia LeBouf in Indiana Jones againn... God I hate this guy. Anyway, what do you guys think? Good or bad giving Indiana Jones a fresh trilogy?
Photo On Set Of Age Of Ultron
This is a more aerial view of the place in Italy where Age of Ultron is being filmed. The mountains behind are nice, probably the Alps. It seems like there is a destruction scene being filmed with civilians trying to flee, as we see in all the extras. Really cool photo.
Batman vs Superman Filming- American Football Game
I came aross this amazing footage of the filming of a scene from Batman vs Superman. It is filmed in LA and it involves a College Football game (college Amercican Football for the rest of the world), between Gotham City University and Metropolis State University. Pretty badass, eh? This seems like a really cool game to be fair. There are many extras and everything, you see Zack Snyder, but no Batman or Superman. The uniforms of Gotham and Metropolis look really cool as well. There are however rumours that this scene, even though filmed and finished, might be cut from Batman vs Superman. I like American Football, so if this is in the movie I will quite like it. There you are, enjoy it.
After Reading A Storm Of Swords I Am One Season Ahead Of You All Game Of Thrones Fans
I finished reading A Storm of Swords last nigh, the third book in Songs of Ice and Fire, or the books on which the Game of Thrones series is based on. This book is pretty much seasons 3 and 4, and I have to say, you are all in for a treat. I have to admit, I do not watch Game of Thrones, since I like the books a lot more and could not fully enjoy the TV show, and believe me, I tried. Anyway, season 4 is going to be full of betrayal, brotherly love, war with the wild people, death of some important characters, more and more betrayal, Night Watch epicness, fuck loads of twist points, some concerning the death of Jon Arin which pretty much led to the war and a death long expected. No spoilers, but I have to say Tyrion becomes the biggest badass possible, full of revenge. Seriously, whoever will watch this will fucking love it. Still not many dragons though.

Age of Ultron Filming Photo
Here we have Scarlet Witch, the twin sister of Quicksilver, daughter of Magneto, and the Legolas of the Avengers- Hawkeye. I see destruction and shit. All these photos are from filming location in some small town in Italy. Looks really cool. All the action. Also Joss Whedon promised us a lot of death. Be prepared.
Daredevil TV Series To Be Filmed by Netflix
Some of you may know that there is a coalition between Marvel and Netflix. They will make series about Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and the Iron Fist. All of these will in the end be put into one show called The Defenders. This to be fair sounds awesome. Well, Daredevil is to start being filmed in July in New York. I really like Daredevil and will really enjoy seeing him in a TV show. Anyway, Marvel and DC are going mental recently. So many superhero movies and productions. It is so awesome. I just hope I dont get bored. I am looking forward to Daredevil, hope you guys are as well. God bless Netflix.
The Title of the New American Horror Story Season is Called Freak Show
It has been revealed either today or yesterday that the title of American Horror Story Season 4 is Freak Show. Not exactly what I expected to be called, but I did say circus freaks will play an important role. To be fair I expected it to be called Carnivale or Circus or something like that, but Freak Show is OK. Still think Circus would have been better. But yeah, this is the news, I already wrote earlier what is going on, 1950s and all. Hope this will be a good season.
Filming of Age of Ultron
For the past couple of days there have been many photos and videos of the filming of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. I already shared one with Quicksilver to show the difference in X-Men and in the Avengers. Anyway, I really want to share as many photos as possible of the filming, but it will not look decent and easy in one post, so I will share one at a time. Here is the second photo from the set that I share. Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch.
The Originals is a Very Fresh Spin-Off
The Originals keeps the darker tone of the Vampire Diaries, with decreased stress on love, which is why I like it. I saw the pilot last night and I am on the second episode. I really like the Origianl Family and Klaus is my second favourite character in The Vampire Diaries universe after Alaric. Therefore I am fully welcoming this show. Also I gotta say Rebecca and Hayley are so hot. Unbelievable. The story from what I get here is Klaus trying to overtake the rule of Marcel, who actually have a father-son kind of bond, nothing to really stop Klaus though. Like good old times Klaus stabs Elijah with the silver stake and shit goes on. Im really interested in what will happen next.

We Have Two Quicksilvers! Singer vs Whedon
The character Quicksilver is to play role in both Days of Future Past and in Age of Ultron, as I just found out. And of course I think this is bad, since two Quicksilvers in two Marvel movies is bad. That is because I do not care that since legal issues of Fox owning X-Men. They are to be fair not in the same universe. Quicksilver in The Avengers 2 is not allowed to be called 'mutant', since Fox turns out to own the fucking word! He is not even allowed to be called the son of Magneto, which is stupid. Anyway, the Quicksilver in Age of Ultron looks a million times less ridiculous than in Days of Future Past, since a lot of the queer crap is gone. Age of Ultron will also star Scarlet Witch. Below is a photo from the set of Age of Ultron of Quicksilver and judge how much better he looks than his Bryan Singer Version. Overall Joss Whedon rules.
American Story Season 4 is With A Carnival Setting
American Horror Story had a haunted house, an insane asylum, a witch coven and now a carnival, circus type setting. All freaky shit. I still have not seen season 3, so I do not know if its good or bad, but I am excited with the idea of carnival and circus stuff. Clowns are scary and they can make a lot of Stephen King It stuff. It is to be set in the 1950s and all these old timey carnivals and circuses are associated with freak shows, weird magic, beard ladies, so expect a lot of creepy stuff. The picture below is just some random creepy stuff, I do not think it is from the show.

Marvel is Going Crazy! Fantastic Four 2, Wolverine Movie and An Unnamed Project
It is true, seems like the Marel and Fox Combo are going pretty mental. The Unnamed Fox and Marvel movie is to be released on 13th of July 2018! 2018! Thats far away. I suspect that the movie is the female superhero planned, the one rumoured to be Miss Marvel movie. Also, Fantastic Four 2 is taking place, meaning the reboot is not totally scrapped. The movie will take place, maybe a new script and all, but there will be a Fantastic Four movie one way or another. It is to be released on 14th of July 2017, still a long way to go. And there is an untitled Wolverine project scheduled for 3rd of March 2017, to which I can say that Fox and the team behind the X-Men are totally milking Wolverine. I love this dude, but this is going very far and at least give him his comic book attire. Anyway, these release dates are initial, probably will change. This information is less than a day old. Fresh from the oven.
Assassin's Creed Unity is the Next in the Franchise
The information has been leaked that the next Assassin's Creed Game is called Unity. It takes place in 18th century France during the famous French Revolution. The main character wears brown and looks pretty sweet. I have not played Black Flag, and to be fair in general have not played much Assassin's Creed, I cannot ever finish a game, I get bored playing video games. So weird. Therefore there is a small chance that I will probably not play the game. But I am really interested in the history of the French revolution, so who knows, I might end up playing the crap out of it.

Ghostbuster 3 Is Happening
Sony has finally confirmed the production of Ghostbusters 3 after the long wait. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller- the people behind the Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street, are to be directing the movie. There are also rumours that Jonah Hill will play a young Ghostbuster. The whole script of the movie is being re-wrtitten, as earlier versions did exist. This will be a hard movie with Harol Ramis's death, so there is a possibility of a reboot taking place. There are no confirmations on any of the old cast returning, but I think they will. A reboot in my opinion will not take place, so I am not that worried. Lets hope it is every bit as awesome as Ghostbusters 1 and 2.
Star Wars VII Rumours
I found some more information on stuff about Star Wars 7. The story is supposed to take place 30 years after Return of the Jedi. There will be three new character, and old ones as well, with a rumour of Mark Hammil, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams (aka Lando) and Anthony Daniels (aka C-3PO) returning. Adam Driver or as I call him Darth Hideous is to be the Vader-like sith. Jesse Plemons or as we know him the creepy guy from Breaking Bad is to take a part as well. There is a small possibility of Michael Fassbender to have a role as well. Hugo Weaving is reported to play and Imperial Commander, to which I say fucke yes. The co-writer of Empire Strikes Back is to... strike back, which means only good. And John Williams will make the music, so more epic. I actually have high hopes for this movie. Only 21 months to go man!

The Amazing Spiderman 2 Final Trailer
This is yet another trailer for the upcoming movie. This one focuses more on Harry Osborne than on Electro. This trailer looks pretty good, better than the rest. And God is Emma Stone hot! Anyway, good sense of humour spidey, decent music, overall really cool stuff. To hit theaters May 2nd.
Ms Marvel Movie Possibly in Production
There are rumours that Marvel is preparing for a Ms Marvel movie in the near future, but after Avengers 3, Captain America 3 and all that stuff, so not that near future. This is after it was stated by Marvel that they would like to make a movie with a female superhero in the leading role and would really be interested in Ms Marvel. This shows a possibility of sometime thinking of doing it, but there are rumours that this movie is actually being developed and there is casting ideas. There is literaly no information about this project, so it might not even happen, but these are rumours for you.
