“Someone really wanted our initials to spell out ‘SHIELD’”

YES! Joss Whedon humor! How I’ve missed that on a regular TV show. I’ll tell you what, I think this is going to be my go to TV show this fall. And man is this right up Joss’ alley. Intruige, mystery, and supernatural circumstances. I sure hope this show does well and has many, MANY seasons!

Fresh from his role in the summer’s box office smash, MARVEL’S THE AVENGERS, Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) returns to the worldwide law enforcement organization S.H.I.E.L.D.  He puts together a small, highly trained, team of Agents to…

Is Pixar making Toy Story 4? It’s possible. But we now know they’re at least making a fourth Toy Story Toon, following in the steps of Hawaiian Vacation, Small Fry and Partysaurus Rex. The short is called Toy Story of Terror and will premiere on ABC this Halloween, making it Pixar’s first TV special.

For what it’s worth. The Toy Story shorts are usually pretty fun, and this will make the first time one of their shorts has been a TV special so that’s pretty fun too.

Here’s the short synopsis:

Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom and the toys are in the trunk. Mom…

While the USS Enterprise has yet to conquer foreign galaxies, it is starting to pick up speed overseas.

Playing in seven foreign markets this weekend, J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek Into Darkness” collected $31.7 million, according to an estimate from distributor Paramount Pictures. The studio said the sequel performed about 70% better than the original did when it debuted in those same countries four years ago. The movie did well in locations like Germany and Australia but fared best in the United Kingdom, where it grossed $13.3 million.

The movie needs to fare well abroad if it is to…

Last week, Disney CEO Bob Iger did a conference call with shareholders and one small piece of information he mentioned has yet to be discussed. Iger said that, over the next five years, Pixar has “fantastic original stories as well as some great sequels to their previous hits.” That’s “sequels,” plural, meaning there must be at least one more beyond Finding Dory. Read the full quote and speculate below.

I worry about Pixar because they seem to be getting “sequel-itis”, but at the same time, Iger did say they have “fantastic original stories” in development in addition to the sequels so…

“I wouldn’t ask too much of her, you can’t repeat the past”

“Can’t repeat the past? Why of course you can!”

Let me make a confession old sport: I have not read the book, the only thing I know about the story is from the 1974 film version staring Robert Redford. I really, REALLY did not like that film. But let me be clear, unless there are some fundamental differences between the book and both film portrayals I have seen thus far, I really do not like the story, or rather, the perspective that the story represents. It’s a rather subtle thing, actually. But before I get to that, let me…

Who is s.H.I.E.L.D.? What are they hiding? Super-powers are real. Aliens exist. What else is out there? We will uncover the truth. We will not remain silent any longer.

So this is some fun viral marketing for the upcoming TV show Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. This site is supposed to be a group of conspiracy theorists who believe they have compelling evidence that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a thing and they will stop at nothing to discover the truth (as you do).

Who knows exactly how — if at all — this plays into the show, but it’s fun none-the-less.

Here are the videos they have posted to…

Fox has officially restarted the clock on 24.

Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly confirmed Monday during a conference call with reporters that the seminal Kiefer Sutherland thriller will be revived in May 2014 as a limited series event titled 24: Live Another Day.

Speaking of unprecedented (see previous article about Arrested Development).

“[It’s] 24 compressed over 12 weeks,” explained Reilly. “It will go chronologically over the day, but it will skip hours. It will be dictated by the plot.”

I’ve never watched 24, the concept never appealed to me. But I know the show has…

I know absolutely nothing about Arrested Development, but I’m posting this trailer because the story of how a season 4 has come to be is interesting. Until now it has practically been unheard of for a TV show to return after being canceled for several years. And yet, here we are, and Netflix is just breaking all the rules. It is definitely a very interesting phenomenon. What is especially interesting is that they were able to get the band back together. One of the most prominent reasons (at least the reasons given to us) why it is so hard to ever put a series back together is that getting…

Snyder has certainly taken a page from Nolan’s book on Man of Steel — well also the fact that Nolan is producing probably means something too — in regards to the shroud of secrecy, the cone of silence around the upcoming film. We look, and we beg, and we hope for crumbs and morsels of interesting tidbits, but they seem few and far between. I suppose that’s why I get a little excited with a trailer of any kind comes out, even if they are just short TV spots.

This first short TV spot from the U.K. seems to have a lot of action in it, and possibly just a wee tidbit of film we haven’t seen…
