Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?

The Television news for the week:
  • The poster for The Walking Dead Season 3 has been released, check it out below:
  • The first Set Photo from the Arrested Development set shows that this is really happening. This is not a dream, the Bluths are actually coming back. Oh, how I have missed them. Check out the set photo below:
  • New trailer for Arrow is out. It asks the question that everyone is asking, Who has Oliver Queen become? Click the link to see the trailer:
    Exclusive: Check Out the New Trailer for CW's Arrow
    Sorry, but who ever posted the video is not allowing me to embed it into this post.
  • Remember a very long time ago when I was talking about the Transporter TV series and it having a rough start, when Chris Vance got hurt during filming. Well the series has released a decent trailer to tell a little bit of the story and show some of the cool action scenes. Check it out below:

When Was the Last Time You Saw Bin Laden?

The Weekend Box Office Results from last weekend:
  1. The Bourne Legacy
  2. The Campaign
  3. The Dark Knight Rises
  4. Hope Springs
  5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
The Movie news for this week:
  • Here is the first Official picture of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln:
    Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln
    If you have not heard Steven Spielberg is making a Abraham Lincoln Biopic called Lincoln. The movie is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s best-seller “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln". The movie starts around the time where Lincoln realizes that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war powers act and will be struck down by lawyers after the Civil War. He then realizes that he needs to abolish slavery by constitutional measure.
  • The Avengers News:
    • Jeremy Renner didn't play the Hawkeye he signed on for. He was hoping to play the Hawkeye from the comic books. You know, the cocky, hot headed loud mouth with nothing to lose. I totally agree with him. That was the only thing that I did not like about The Avengers. Hopefully this will change in The Avengers 2.
    • Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct The Avengers 2. He has signed a 3 year deal with Marvel and has confirmed the release of The Avengers 2 to be in the Summer of 2015.
  • Ben Affleck is talks to direct the Justice League movie. If this is true it could mean something good/bad for DC. He is a good director, but I am a little worried on how he will take the story. If you find the right script, stick to the source material, and find the right set of Actors/Actresses to play the roles of the Superheros then this could be a good movie.
  • Donald Faison has signed on for Kick-Ass 2. He is set to play Doctor Gravity, a Physics Professor by day and a gravity pole wielding crime fighter by night. This is a good move for the movie since  Donald Faison already has a cult following since he was on Scrubs. Hopefully there will be some "Guy Love" between him an Kick-Ass.
  • Heather Graham is back in The Hangover 3 to reprise her role as the stripper Jade. The Hangover: Part 3 is set to release on May 24, 2013.
The Movie Trailers of the Week:
  • Zero Dark Thirty:
  • This is 40 Trailer #2:
  • Trouble with the Curve:
  • Red Dawn Remake:

    Friday's are now yours!

    Hi, this isn't a normal blog for a Friday. Normally I go through my iTunes library at random and pick an artist to write about. I thought that was kind of getting old and I was thinking of what to do. I couldn't come up with anything, but I did have an Idea. What if i left this decision up to you, the readers.

    From now until next Friday morning you can post an idea for the topic of the Friday blog post in the comments section of any blog. If I happen to get more then one idea, I will rotate them out every week or let you vote on your favorite one. If I happen not to get any ideas, then I will just continue on with the music blog.

    So, let your creative juices flow!

    SPAAAAAACE!!!

    The Gaming news for the week:
    • Rocksteady has announced that their Batman game will not be a sequel. They have announced that the game will be a prequel to Arkham Asylum and will feature the Justice League. This could introduce spin off games! Man, am I hoping for a good Superman Game. The sad news is that Paul Dini will not be writting the story for the game. He did such an amazing job on the first 2, I would love to see how he would have added the Justice league to the story.
    • Ubisoft has announced that Assassins Creed 3 will have Season Pass DLC on Xbox 360. I dont know if you have preordered it already, but I did. What ever DLC that does not come with my preorder I will be buying. The game is not complete until you play ever portion of it.
    • Conan O'Brien's reviews Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition:
    • 343 Industries has announced that they will be releasing a Halo 4 Limited Edition game. Here is what is included in the box that has been announced:
      • The War Games Map Packs that includes access to nine maps: three multiplayer map packs= that included 3 maps in each.
      • Unique in-game Spartan IV armor skin, a weapon skin for the Assault Rifle, an exclusive in-game emblem, an Xbox LIVE Avatar prop, and Avatar Spartan IV armor.
      • Specializations: Receive early access to six Specializations to achieve higher ranks in your Spartan career. In addition to gaining access to new ranks, Specializations unlock new customization options.
      • The Special Edition of Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, the 90-minute extended version of the live-action digital series which tells the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war. Also how Master Chief inspired a young cadet to become a leader aboard the UNSC Infinity.
      • It releases on November 6th, 2012.
    • The Space core from Portal 2 is in Space. NASA has laser engraved the Space core on to a piece of the a ship they sent up to the International Space Station. Check out the picture below:
      Portal 2 Space Core NASA
    • Valve's Gabe Newell calls Windows 8 a Catastrophe. Blizzard even agrees with him. Didn't I say before that Windows 8 was going to be bad and be another Vista? I believe I did.
    • Far Cry 3 Co-Op trailer:

      This might be just enough to make me buy the game.
    • A Virtual Reality Headset called Oculus Rift:

      Looks pretty sweet right? Looks like Doom 4 and Minecraft maybe using thins soon.

    "Oh goodness, look at my wrist, I have to go."

    The television news for the week:
    • The CW is in talks to create a Battle Royal TV series. Battle Royal is what I like to call the Japanese version of The Hunger Games. This news is dropping from the LA Times and they say that the CW is talking with Hollywood reps behind closed doors about launching the English language version properly. Could the series get the green light and  Koushun Takami's approval?
      Just image this being on TV:
      Battle Royale Controversy
    • It looks like Anger Management is getting picked up for 90 more episodes. FX president John Landgraf has been hinting this after the success of the first season's ratings. Also Papa Sheen, Martin Sheen, will have a reoccurring role on the show as Charlie Sheen's character's father. I have not seen the show yet, but I hear good things.
    • Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is set to premier on the CW this October. If you havent heard of it, it is the brainchild of Joss Whedon and was created due to the 2007-2008 writers strike. It tells the story of an aspiring supervillain named Dr. Horrible, played by Neil Patrick Harris and his heroic yet cocky nemesis, Captain Hammer, played by Nathan Fillion. Its a battle for the heart of the woman they both love, Penny, played by Felicia Day. Keep an eye out for it on Tuesday, October 9 at 9 p.m.
    • Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have signed on to continue their roles as Sam and Dean for 2 more seasons. The hopes are high for the show now that Jeremy Carver is the show runner. But with the show now going into production of 2 more seasons, will the 10th season be the end of the series?
    • The Incredible Hulk TV show ready to start production, but still needs a writter. The series will be done by Guillermo del Toro and will be for ABC.
