When the rep came back on the line, she proposed keeping Boost Plus in place but waiving that fee; and upgrading our channel lineup to include the aforementioned movie channels, along with more kids channels and other stations. All at a monthly rate of $90. The entire rate, she said, would be good for one year.

In other words, my cable company’s proposal was this: Instead of me canceling my cable, they’d give me many more channels and have me spend more than $60 less per month than what I’d been paying. The monthly rate of $90, in fact, meant that at this point in the phone call, it…

I have your daily dose of awesome right here. If the two minute teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness was not enough for you, then whet your appetite with this fan made, shot for shot trailer remake by Dustin McLean (Twitter). I’m given to understand that it was shot entirely on an iPhone and the sets involve his apartment, a hair salon, models and more.

I mean seriously, SO AWESOME!

Check out the trailer, and below a side by side comparison with the original trailer. WATCH BOTH!

Oh. My. Word! The pain! THE PAIN!…

One of 24 crimestopper Jack Bauer’s love interests has landed a role on NBC’s Revolution.

TVLine has learned that Annie Wersching, who played 24 FBI agent Renee Walker, will guest-star on TV’s highest-rated freshman drama as Emma, who was Miles Matheson’s first love — and also the first object of Sebastian Monroe’s obsession. When Emma resurfaces in the current timeline, it sets the stage for a dramatic confrontation between the gentleman frenemies.

Not huge news or anything, but seeing how I’m a fan of the show it’s mildly interesting. Apparently, and I didn’t know this, not being a…

He sure is busy with The Avengers sequel and other Marvel Cinematic Universe properties, but Capt. Mal Reynolds, Zoe and the rest of the Firefly crew will always have a special place in Joss Whedon‘s heart. The director says he’d love to return to that world after he’s finished with The Avengers 2.

Speaking to the Toronto Sun, the director stated that he’ll never let hopes of a Firefly resurrection die.

“I’ll never really accept it,” Whedon said. “And I always, in the back of my head, think, ‘What if I could get the old gang back together?’”

In regards to getting the Firefly cast…

Heh.

Now this looks more like the visual style we an expect from a J.J. Abrams version of Star Wars. I really hope and pray not, but he seems to steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that he was completely overused a cool effect and let it take over his films.

In any event, this is pretty funny.

In a recent interview with I Am Rogue, the actress discussed the sequel and, more interestingly, the definite possibility for her to appear in Marvel’s TV adaptation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

...

On whether Maria Hill could appear in Joss Whedon-directed S.H.I.E.L.D. small-screen adaptation, Cobie Smulders states,

“The commitments to How I Met Your Mother don’t affect it. And I can’t really say, but there are definite talks about it.”

And:

“Oh yeah! I’m very excited. I will do Maria Hill until they fire me and hire someone else to do it.”

She was one of the more enjoyable…

Director Bryan Singer has revealed that Anna Paquin, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore have been cast in X-Men: Days of Future Past, 2014′s follow up to X-Men: First Class.

Paquin, Page and Ashmore are all series veteran, most recently appearing in Brett Ratner’s X-Men The Last Stand as Rogue, Kitty Pride and Iceman, respectively. They’ll join Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as returning characters along with First Class cast members James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and more.

Here’s Singer’s tweet:

Very excited to welcome #annapaquin, @ellenpage & @

Oh man, I want to watch that film!

This is likely only the first of many such mashups. In fact, once Star Trek Into Darkness is released, I expect there to be whole film adaptions and mashups, or at least short film length mashups.

Anyway, this perhaps can give you just an idea of what we’re in for — although there just are not enough lens flares present here to be a completely accurate representation of what Abrams will bring to Star Wars.
