Yesterday the L.A. Times reported that theaters owned by Regal Entertainment would be pulling marketing materials for Iron Man 3 from their theaters. Apparently, the reason is that Disney has requested theaters to give them a larger share of Iron Man 3 ticket sales, and some theaters have decided to play with fire and buck at their request. Fans have been commenting recently about the fact that they haven’t been able to pre-order Iron Man 3tickets, so we decided to investigate.

We contacted managers at Regal, as well as Cinemark, and both have stated that they will not be showing Iron…

Paramount has a character profile of Captain Kirk for us to feast our eyes upon while way wait (impatiently) for the film to come out.

Kirk is obviously going to have some major things going on in this film, some attitude problems he needs to deal with — he needs to learn how to be the captain that we used to know in the original series. So JJ Abrams and Chris Pine talk us through that struggle a little bit. Plus, film footage, behind the scenes, etc. Check it out.

TJ and Joe discuss ‘The Avengers’ assembling for ‘The Avengers 2’ in February of next year and a few thoughts on the Marvel Universe in general, trailer 2 for ‘The Internship’ and how TJ is not liking this in any way, the news of a ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot, the ‘Thor 2’ teaser and the state of teasers versus trailers in general, and then they get to the main topic. Up for review this week is ‘Oblivion’ which TJ and Joe both liked a lot but quite a lot of critics didn’t like the film so much. One critic in particular really did a disservice to the film, which TJ and Joe discuss. Beware of a few spoilers here and there! But be sure to tune in for a great conversation!

Empire recently profiled the upcoming superhero film, and within the pages is a very interesting tidbit indicating that Snyder may not be done with dudes in tights: “Whether we get a ‘Justice League,’ [Warner Bros] say, depends on ‘Man of Steel.’ If we do, they say, Zack Snyder will be asked to direct.”

Of course, this revelation opens up a Pandora’s box of questions ranging from potential ‘Steel’ sequels to Marvel-esque world building, and Snyder teases at both. “We didn’t design the movie like Batman, but I don’t think anybody would say that you design a Superman movie as a one-off,”…

So John Harrison has been keeping busy sending out visual message (from the future in which the Star Trek alternate universe takes place to our present no less).

First, a few days ago he released one about Captain Kirk, detailing his weaknesses and how he would make sure Kirk’s mistakes would get the entire crew killed.

Then yesterday, he released one about Spock, the emotions he struggled with that might threaten to be his undoing.

See the videos below.

“It’s complicated,” he told Flavorwire. “I can’t get into it because it only gets me angry, because I’m so proud of that movie.

“For a while there, and someday we may actually get there, we actually talked about doing a television show which would be sort of fun because it would be a TV show looking at a movie that’s looking at a TV show, something like that.

I’d certainly watch more Galaxy Quest. Some have been known to say it’s the best Star Trek film that never was. While I don’t quite agree with that, it is an awesome comedy film making fun of Star Trek and the like and I would…

As other streaming services scramble to catch up to Netflix, Netflix has long eyed HBO as its biggest rival. And if Netflix isn’t hasn’t pulled off a decisive win quite yet, it is at least closing in. The company reported that it had 29.17 million domestic subscribers in the first quarter of 2013, surpassing the 28.7 million reported by HBO at the end of 2012. Netflix’s numbers represent an increase of 2 million domestic and 1 million foreign subscribers since the end of 2012.

Crazy, right? But this streaming thing is just a fad, people don’t want their content on demand. Traditional…

If your excited to see what the X-Men universe has in store for us for the next couple of film, especially with Bryan Singer back at the helm of one of them, then you are not alone. You are in the company of at least me.

This installment is not the one from Bryan Singer, but it looks like it holds potential all the same:

Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern-day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world, he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a…
