New ‘Gotham’ Trailer Teases The Joker

New ‘Gotham’ Trailer Teases The Joker

It wouldn’t be in the Batman universe if there were no joker, I reckon. He’s the premier villain of the franchise for whatever reason. He’s the iconic one even though there are so many other villains available in the franchise. It’s that unwritten rule that your Batman franhicse installment must somewhere contain The Joker as a villain.

In a “blink and you’ll miss it” scene from this trailer, we get a pretty clear indication that we will in fact see The Joker somewhere in this series. Look for the hints starting around 38 seconds.

I am still unsure whether this will be any good but I’ll…

‘Terminator: Genisys’ — What the Actual Heck?

‘Terminator: Genisys’ — What the Actual Heck?
Tor.com

How times have changed: You have to imagine that movie audiences were beyond thrilled when Terminator 2: Judgment Day was announced in the early 1990s… but now, the latest Terminator film news was met mostly with laughter. Then again, it could have to do with the title—Terminator: Genisys.

Schwarzenegger unveiled the film’s official title when he posted the above photo to his Instagram (via Deadline). Now, the working title had already been Terminator: Genesis, but clearly someone in the marketing department decided that that was just too boring for the fifth installment.

Really guys?…

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Extended Cut Coming in 2015

‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ Extended Cut Coming in 2015
Kevin Jagernauth — The Playlist

Even with home video sales continuing on a downward trajectory, Hollywood seems bound and determined to follow the same playbook they have used since the early ‘80s introduction of the VCR. So even though “X-Men: Days Of Future Past” will be available digitally on September 23rd and on Blu-ray on October 14th, Fox has just announced that you’re better off not bothering with either if you want the extra bells and whistles.

Last month, franchise producer Lauren Donner Shuler mentioned that a director’s cut of ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ would be coming later this year. Now, Fox’s EVP of…

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Jar-Jar and Gollum Impressions Are Amazing

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Jar-Jar and Gollum Impressions Are Amazing
Craig Flaster — MTV.com

But finally, Cumberbatch broke out the big guns, with absolutely spot-on, terrifying, wonderful impressions of Jar-Jar Binks and Gollum, hitting two huge Comic-Con franchises.

Making the experience more surreal, MTV News’ own Josh Horowitz put in his own Jar-Jar impression, as the two had a Jar-Jar conversation that might make you go mental (in Cumberbatch’s words) if you watch it too much.

Yes, well all hate Jar-Jar here and everything, but this is Benedict Cumberbatch doing impressions and it’s just as great as you think.

Guardians of the Galaxy Easter Eggs: Over 50 Trivia, References, Callbacks, Cameos and More
Peter Sciretta — /Film

Guardians of the Galaxy might be Marvel’s most elaborate film to date when it comes to easter eggs. I’ve watched the film twice now and have noticed a ton of inside jokes, references to characters from the comic books, 1980′s callbacks and more. I attempted to compile the most complete listing of Guardians of the Galaxy easter eggs

This is a pretty fun read. You should go check it out.

Understanding Art House — ‘Snowpiercer’

Understanding Art House — ‘Snowpiercer’

I was linked to this video yesterday. I saved it to watch when I got home from work, and its worth sharing with you. Mind you I don’t agree with the conclusions the film draws, and I don’t agree with some of the conclusions of the reviewer — although admittedly it’s hard to tell how much of it is just analysis of the film’s opinion, and how much of it is the reviewer’s opinion. Nevertheless, a lot of astute observation going on here of a type and level I can only one day dream of achieving.

Honest Trailer for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze’

Honest Trailer for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze’

I don’t have a lot of hope for this upcoming Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. But It’s not like the previous films were any good either as Honest Trailers is here to remind us. In fact, they were really, really bad. Honestly after watching and laughing at this trailer, I’m quite coninved that the reboot will be much, much better.
