Kevin Feige Talks Thanos and Ultron

Kevin Feige Talks Thanos and Ultron

Here’s a scoop from the Marvel big boss, although, beware apparent minor(ish) spoilers for Thor: The Dark World. There’s definitely a bit about Loki that I wish I had not heard, but overall I doubt if it’s a very big deal.

So apparently Thanos will be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy as the mastermind. And as I’ve already mentioned briefly, Ultron will indeed first be seen in Avengers 2. I’m glad that Marvel seems to do a good job of knowing what things to keep in the cinematic universe, and what things are okay to tell differently than the comics.

Loki Makes an Appearance at SDCC

Kind of wish I were there. Of course, poor Tom Hiddleston could barely keep his character together, smiling, smirking, laughing and carrying on… and the audience loved it. Tom is a pretty cool fellow.

Enjoy.

Welcome to Battle School — ‘Ender’s Game’ Clip

Welcome to Battle School — ‘Ender’s Game’ Clip

Well, it appears that Battle School ain’t like dustin crops boy! The aliens invaded and it must never be allowed to happen again!

I know nothing of the book series, but those who do tell me that this film is going to be good. And I’m looking forward to it, for sure.

But don’t take my word for it, let Colonel Graff convince you in a message to his young cadets preparing for battle training in this first clip from Ender’s Game.

‘Wolverine’ Honest Trailer

‘Wolverine’ Honest Trailer

No, no, not the new one that isn’t out yet. Man this naming scheme is confusing. I’m talking about the first Wolverine standalone film. You know, I didn’t hate it as much as the rest of the world — maybe I was just glad it was not as bad as X-Men: The Last Stand — but it certainly was not the best installment in the X-Men universe. This Honest Trailer will highight some of the very things that is wrong with that film, and in the normal, humorous way. I warn you though, you’ll want to be in a place where you can have some good, hearty laughs before you watch this!

Enjoy!

Pacific Rim — Review

4 of 5 stars
Pacific Rim

Whatever you can say about Pacific Rim you cannot say that it lacks vision, guts, story, or monsters (lots of monsters). It also doesn’t have a very complicated plot, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

I went into this film with slightly elevated expectations than I had originally set for myself when I saw the first couple of trailers, but they still weren’t extremely high expectations. The idea of a monster movie with big, crash ‘em, mash ‘em robots sounds like the ultimate summer blockbuster movie in the same legacy left to us by the horrible Transformers franchise. Thankfully,…

Infographic: Just How Big Are The Jaegers from ‘Pacific Rim’?

Did you ever wonder why there is an Internet? I don’t know about you, but sometimes I sit around and ponder these existential questions. Why am I here, what is the meaning of life, why does it always rain when I need to mow the grass, why is water wet, why is there an Internet. You know, all the important things.

Well, I have found the very reason that the internet exists and I have it here for you now. Over on this Reddit thread is where I found it. It shows how big the Jaegers are in comparison to other well known things. And, well, those things are FREAKING HUGE!

Here, take a look…

How ‘Man of Steel’ Should Have Ended

How ‘Man of Steel’ Should Have Ended

Nail, meet hammer head! These seem so much more poignant when I hate the movie that they are about I guess.

In any event, obviously you should probably have watch Man of Steel before you see this, but I highly recommend it. This would have solved a number of my problems with Man of Steel! The problem is, the film would have been far shorter. What the film really needed was a real script. Alas, we didn’t get that…

Well, enjoy this anyway.

The Pixar Theory

The Pixar Theory
Jon Negroni

Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why. Several months ago, I watched a fun-filled video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call “The Pixar Theory,” a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme. This theory covers every Pixar production since Toy Story.

This is absolutely amazing and astounding. Please take the time to read this. I don’t really…

Joseph Kosinski and Tron 3 - Expanding Quora’s Story

Joseph Kosinski and Tron 3 - Expanding Quora’s Story
Sandy Schaefer - ScreenRant.com

Previously, Kosinski expressed his desire for TRON 3 to take the TRON property to the next level of creative expression – when he said that he wants it to be “our ‘Empire Strikes Back’” – and additionally mentioned that the film is going to pick up in real-time after the conclusion to Legacy. That might’ve seemed like a red flag to some people, as having TR3N take place some five to six years after Legacy could allow the film to skimp on addressing the questions and ideas raised by the previous film’s conclusion – and there are definitely some major implications to the ending…

Lucas Credits ‘Star Trek’ With Paving the Way

Lucas Credits ‘Star Trek’ With Paving the Way
Kevin Jagernauth - The Playlist

” ‘Star Trek’ softened up the entertainment arena so that ‘Star Wars’ could come along and stand on its shoulders,” Lucas said in an interview featured on the DVD. “There was an effective group of people in the beginning who accepted it.. that it wasn’t that far out. For the studios it was way far out, [they said] ‘What is this?’, but there was a fanbase out there—primarily the ‘Star Trek’ fanbase—who understood sci-fi, understood visual sci-fi, and was ready for something like this ‘Star Wars’ to be in the feature arena.”

And as JoBlo rightly acknowledges, it was actually the success of…
