Honest Trailer for the Real (and only) ‘Spider-Man’ Trilogy

Honest Trailer for the Real (and only) ‘Spider-Man’ Trilogy

Blah blah blah before the HIPSTER reboot blah blah blah. I mean, so much YES!

I love Honest Trailers even if they are about films I love. I loved the original Spider-Man trilogy, and yes I even loved the third one even if it wasn’t quite up to the same level. But pointing out the flaws or perceived flaws is fun.

Who is Daisy Ridley? (‘Star Wars VII’ Casting News)

Who is Daisy Ridley? (‘Star Wars VII’ Casting News)
Josh Dickey — Mashable

Daisy Ridley is a 5-foot-7 jazz singer, dancer and strong swimmer with dark hair, a native London accent, and a few minor television credits she gathered over the past year. She’s in her early 20s, and used to go by @daisyjazz on Twitter — before the account was disabled.

That’s about all we know about the lone “unknown” member of the Star Wars VII cast. Other than that she’s about to become very, very famous.

In the hours after Disney and Lucasfilm’s big casting announcement, Ridley’s acting reel was pulled down from Vimeo. She has no Wikipedia page; no photos on Getty Images (jeez, even

Joss Whedon Is Having Fun With Ultron

Joss Whedon Is Having Fun With Ultron
Jesse Giroux — JoBlo

Whedon starts by saying the new characters in AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON like Baron Von Strucker (Thomas Kretschmann), Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) serve a purpose, and are necessary for the story he is trying to tell.

I fiercely dislike the idea of just throwing in more people for the sake of doing that. But last time I had all of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes versus one British character actor, and I needed more conflict.

The director continues by saying he’s having a lot of fun with James Spader‘s Ultron.

I’m having a blast with Ultron. He’s not a…

How Frozen Should Have Ended

How Frozen Should Have Ended

Yes! So much yes! I loved the film a lot but my wife and I both looked at each other and said pretty much the same thing. Isn’t bottling all that up a really bad idea?

Well the HISHE guys were thinking the same thing. They have pretty much encapsulated the issue. But don’t worry, I haven’t spoiled it, it’s much better than just that. It’s perfect in fact. Have a look:

If Superman Were In ‘Gravity

If Superman Were In ‘Gravity

Space may be a terrifying place for us humans. We have to worry about things like tempurature, air — the basics that keep us alive here on earth that we normally take for granted. But for a certain blue clad Kryptonian, space offers no such risks.

This is an alternate cut of sorts for what Gravity could have been like if the man of steel had been involved.

I think the best part is the sort of twisted explanation for how the situation occurred in the first place. I nearly died laughing.

Hugh Jackman Mixing Up His Roles, Sings ‘Wolverine The Musical’

Hugh Jackman Mixing Up His Roles, Sings ‘Wolverine The Musical’

Here’s a bit of hilarity for you today. Hugh Jackman’s roles are wide ranging and various, but today we’re going to throw two of them in a bottle and shake it up to see what comes out. And this is the result with lines like, “Who am I? Am I a superhero with some claws? Or just an actor searching for applause?”

It’s pretty hillarious.

Man, somehow I missed this on actual April Fools’ Day

FIREFLY will soar again!

Acapella Mario (and Other) Game Music

This has absolutely nothing to do with movies or TV shows, but I absolutely love this and I thougth you guys would too. As you might recall from my previous posts about Nintendo, the Wii, the Wii U and the like, I’m a casual gamer and like to post stuff about it occasionally.

So enjoy. And feel free to click on through and some other work this guy has done. He’s pretty amazing.

The Muppets Sorted Into Hogwarts Houses

As we might have mentioned before, our favorite office game is to sort characters into Hogwarts Houses. We are not unique in this of course—a good portion of fandom has Sorting Disease—but we like bringing the party to you, as it were.

And with Muppets Most Wanted coming out, it seemed only natural to get the crew sorted! Join us while we play the music and light the lights!

This is a lot of fun!

The Muppets Audition For the Part of Yoda

The Muppets Audition For the Part of Yoda

This is so great. This appears to be from 1999 when a series of interstitials were run on the Odessy Channel and this would be one of those. With the new Muppet film coming out this weekend, it seemed appropriate to post today.

Make sure to catch all the in jokes about voice and appearance and whatnot. Have fun!
