Netflix dealt another hand of Cards on Feb. 14, unveiling all 13 new episodes of the acclaimed original series at once. Some things about the drama haven’t changed: Frank Underwood is as ruthless as ever, his wife Claire is still devastatingly stylish and the politics are still really, really dirty. But there are some new elements in the series’ sophomore season. If you haven’t yet pressed PLAY on Season 2, here are five (semi-spoilery) tidbits to know while you watch.

Good stuff to know here.

I am officially an old man now apparently, because there was just no way I could miss too much…

Warner Bros.’ The Jungle Book took a hit last month when Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu dropped out over scheduling conflicts, but now it’s back on track with a new director. Ron Howard has entered talks to helm the live-action adaptation of the Rudyard Kipling adventure.

THR reported the news. The Warner Bros. picture is one of two Jungle Book films in the works. Disney’s live-action adaptation has Jon Favreau at the helm, and is set to open October 9, 2015. Warner Bros.’ Jungle Book does not have a release date yet, and it might not for some time — it’s unclear whether Howard would…

Hold on to your hammers, Scarlett Johansson is about to shatter the comic book movie glass ceiling. After stealing scenes from Tony Stark and the rest of super men in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers, Scarlett Johansson’s popular spy character Black Widow is going to get her own movie. Marvel Studio president Kevin Feige has said that the Marvel movie universe is going to change dramatically going forward.

We wanted to change the dynamic of the cinematic universe with [Captain America: The Winter Soldier]. We wanted Cap and really the entire cinematic universe to be very different [...] [Black]…

John Henson, puppeteer and son of Muppets creator Jim Henson, died Friday of a heart attack. He was 48.

The Jim Henson Company announced Henson’s death on its Facebook page Saturday.

In addition to serving as a board member and shareholder in the company behind The Muppets, Henson also performed as Sweetums the ogre in movies like Muppet Treasure Island and The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz and in various specials.

Well that’s just uncool news to start Monday out with.

When your options are a tepidly received “RoboCop” remake and a Valentine’s Day-themed romance movie that only the teenage girl die-hards seemed interested in (“Endless Love”), is it any wonder “The Lego Movie” blocked out the competition this weekend? That said, performing quite well was the “About Last Night” remake. And no, don’t chalk that one up to ’80s nostalgia—instead, see it as one more film connecting with the underserved African-American audience who are happy to come out in droves when a movie is actually geared towards them.

Well what am I supposed to say to that. And what…

This week, Will Smith changed his mind again on whether he’s going to be in ‘Independence Day 2’. TJ has more to say about Philip Seymour Hoffman and his big scene left to shoot on ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’. It seems like a digital recreation of the guy is in order so that the film can be finished. ‘Star Wars VII’ will be starting production in May. ‘The LEGO Movie’ was the big deal this week. It brought in a truckload of money on it’s opening weekend, and it was quite a good film. TJ wrote a review, and talked about it with Joe Darnell and Chad Hopkins on ‘The MovieByte Podcast’. And speaking of ‘The LEGO Movie’, a Fox News anchor has completely lost his mind and says the film is anti-business and anti-capitalist. What is his reasoning? Well the villain is named Lord Business. That’s some deep analysis right there. The director of R.I.P.D. will be directing the ‘Divergent’ sequel, ‘Insurgent’ which isn’t even in theaters yet. And of course, find out what to see this weekend!

Sometimes, something incredibly, hilariously geeky comes “across my desk” and I have no choice, I am compelled to post it. This is one such occasion.

As you may or may not know, the winter olympics are going on right now which involves a lot of high speed gliding across snow and snowing terrain. Thus, this is the perfect opportunity to insert some Imperial Walker action from The Empire Strikes Back. You might recall that they were in some snowy conditions there.

This is pretty hillarious.

With The LEGO Movie such a hit right now, LEGOs are all the craze, but this is pretty good. Here’s the first poster. Click through to see the rest.

Who would have thought that an animated film could have a blooper reel, eh? Well all good films have blooper reels so since this is a good movie, I reckon they thought it needed a good blooper reel.

As far as I understand, the sound bite are actual bloopers and outtakes and mess ups. The decided to get creative and animate the characters around it. Hilarity ensues.
