Let's Get Comical!

San Diego Comic Con is here! That means it's the time of year where we get lots of updates on sci-fi movies and other stuff coming to us over the next year. It's also the time where companies offer exclusive, limited production merchandise that can only be obtained at the show, like this exclusive LEGO 1960's Batmobile! If you're lucky enough to be at the show AND lucky enough to hold a winning raffle ticket, enjoy your purchase! If not, screw you, loyal customer!


Last week I didn't ask you anything.



  • Box Office News: Hollywood is flinging crap at the walls, hoping something will stick and take down the Apes
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Hot Tub Time Machine 2, Fifty Shades of Grey and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: And So It Goes, Hercules and Lucy
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Noah and The Other Woman

  • RIP several people
  • It's a new photo of Batfleck
  • Hey, you! Donate to this Star Wars fund! And just ignore the new X-Wing in the background
  • Speaking of Star Wars, is this the plot? (SPOILERS?!?)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been delayed until 2018. The Sinister Six movie and an Uncharted movie have also been given release dates
  • Meanwhile, a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean is coming
  • Reader beware, you're in for a scare!
  • The Marvel Universe will collide

  • Could Terminator 2 possibly have kicked off this latest trend of spoiling film plots during the trailers?

    And that brings us to this week's poll.

    Is San Diego Comic Con Overrated?
    Yes
    No
    Meh

    Friday Film Fiesta

    From the annals of "Stuff comes up combining with laziness," here is what I had previously wrote of this week's Fiesta!

    Last week I was going to ask you if you were a fan of the newer overpriced movie theaters, but the LiveJournal wouldn't format the code for some reason.

  • Box Office News: Moviegoers LOVE every ape, from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Z
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Laggies, The Prince and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Planes: Fire and Rescue, The Purge: Anarchy and Sex Tape
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Heaven is For Real, Sabotage, Transcendence and Tyler Perry's Single Moms Club

  • Entertainment Weekly has our first look at Avengers: Age of Ultron
  • Speaking of Marvel, the list of Guardians cameos has been confirmed (SPOILERS)
  • Ron Howard's next project will be about The Beatles' early days
  • The Universal Monsters are being rebooted with a new cinematic universe
  • The new Power Rangers movie will be written by the writers of X-Men: First Class
  • Speaking of writers, one of the guys behind the terrible new Spider-Man flicks is on his way out, and apparently the franchise is in jeopardy now?
  • The end is ever so near
  • Don't get your hopes up for a third Hellboy movie
  • Road House: So bad it's good

    No poll again this week. Enjoy your weekend!

    Hail to the Chimp

    Welcome to a Fiesta that's about to go bananas! Hopefully you won't see it as a big pile of poo thrown at a wall!


    Last week I asked you nothing, because I can.



  • Box Office News: Unfunny female Chris Farley, horror movies and E.T. ripoffs are no match for the power of KAPLOW MICHAEL BAY KABOOM
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Gone Girl, Unbroken and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Rio 2

  • Good Guy Glenn returns to make sure you catch this critical piece of information before catching the new Apes movie this weekend

  • How does your review of the new Apes flick compare to the Onion's review?
  • Hot off the heels of the news that The Expendables 3 will be rated PG-13, Cinema Blend wants us to return to the days before 1984 and abolish the PG-13 rating. However, other people claim the answer is to abolish the MPAA rating system entirely
  • AMC theater chains will soon be adding comfy recliners. Having been to a local theater that does this, I can honestly say that the added leather and raising of the feet is NOT worth the extra money
  • A director's cut of Days of Future Past will add many deleted Anna Paquin scenes
  • Speaking of cuts, there is an alternate ending to Edge of Tomorrow (SPOILERS)
  • Further speaking of cuts, the unemployment rate is about to skyrocket. Thanks to YOU! If only you had gone to see How to Train Your Dragon 2
  • Last week I forgot to include the news that fan-favorite Community is getting a sixth season, and this week news came out that there might be a movie on its way as well
  • We are FINISHED with Harry Potter films. For sure. Maybe. Probably.
  • A Japanese animator does everything Pixar does not
  • Kevin Smith unveils the poster for his latest creation. Speaking of Kevin Smith, there will be no Clerks III. He consoles himself by visiting the Star Wars set
  • An unreleased Bill Murray film has been discovered
  • Observe and Report is actually a great movie
  • 10 Things in Every Tim Burton Movie
  • Hunting controversies are all the rage nowadays. But how do you feel about these controversial hunting photos?

    And that brings us to this week's poll.

    Do you like the super expensive theaters with recliners and real food?YesNoMy couch is better than any theater

    Friday 4th Fiesta

    Good morning. In less than an hour, bloggers from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest online discussion in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences any more. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom--not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution, but from boring conversations. We are fighting for our right to think. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the blog declared in one voice: We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate the 1996 film Independence Day!


    Last week I asked you if TV shows were better than movies now, and you answered Yes.

  • Box Office News: KABOOM! KABOOM KABOOM KAPLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Trailer Time: Check out new trailers for Horrible Bosses 2, Foxcatcher and more!
  • In Theaters This Week: Deliver Us From Evil, Earth to Echo and Tammy
  • Next Week's Notable DVD Releases: Bad Words and The Raid 2

    Glenn celebrates his freedom to submit links to interesting articles by, well, submitting links to interesting articles!
  • The TV theme song is dead. That's what you get for spending money on quality writers instead of quality musicians!
  • Chicago has won a bid to host the George Lucas Cultural Museum, which includes a Star Wars wing, and San Francisco is very cross. In completely unrelated news, I might need to crash on either Andy's or Jawas' couches five or six times a year.
  • And in a link that was sent in weeks ago and fell through the cracks, if you've been paying for Tarkovsky films over the last few years, you are a fool

  • RIP Several Hollywood Icons
  • July 1 saw the removal of many films from Netflix. But if you're really worried about being able to watch a Rocky marathon, just watch AMC every other week!
  • Despite the whole rape business, Bryan Singer will still direct the next X-Men flick
  • Viggo Mortensen hates the three Hobbit movies
  • Are sci-fi roles better for women? Zoe Saldana thinks so
  • Star Trek 3 will be more like the original series (Kinda Sorta Spoiler Alert)
  • A guy working on Guardians of the Galaxy no longer hates George Lucas for changing his movies
  • What exactly is Michael Bay-hem?
  • Fast 7 will be arriving faster than anticipated, and presumably more furious
  • More plans are revealed for Marvel Phase 3 (spoilers)

    And that brings us to this week's poll... nah, no poll this week. Go out and enjoy the long weekend, or regular weekend if you aren't in America.

    To celebrate America, here are three Canadians, and Australian, and a Brit celebrating America!
