Organizations condemn the movie for using the facial feature to make a character appear more evil.

Disney’s The Lone Ranger is facing a fresh round of controversy over one of its characters, but this time, Johnny Depp‘s portrayal of a Native American isn’t the subject of the outrage.

Instead, charities are upset that WilliamFichtner‘s Butch Cavendish features a cleft lip, a prosthetic that may have been added in part to make him appear more sinister.

OH. MY. WORD!

At the risk of sounding cruel and heartless, let me just say get over yourselves! No really, seriously, this is not about…

Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a wild ride coming up in the year 2015. There’s a crazy amount of big name big push films lined up for that year, a few will knock our socks off, and a few will be over-hyped and over-rated, but no matter, the big tentpoles are where it’s at as far as the studios are concerned.

Here’s what we’ve got coming up:

• Superman/Batman Team-up (or they’ll be in the same movie anyway)
• The Avengers: Age of Ultron
• Star Wars Episode VII

Oh, well, neither is getting great critical reception, though R.I.P.D. is doing much worse than RED 2. It’s a shame because they are both pretty fun movies, and RED 2 is actually quite good.

I haven’t heard from Chad yet how he feels about the films, but that’s just more reason for you to tune in tonight and find out what he thinks. We’ll be broadcasting at 7:30 Central Time, so get yourselves ready…

Although it was already known to be the case (as evidenced by the incredible Comic-Con footage), Marvel Studios has officially announced the start of production on their forthcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. Filming is now underway at the UK’s Shepperton Studios.
