I saw the headline for a Flash Gordon reboot and I recoiled in disgust. Granted, there’s been different incarnations of the comic strip, but the 80s movie was the definitive version for me. The theme song by Queen certainly helps. So could you blame me?
Yes, I watch The Vampire Diaries. That is, until the past two seasons. I still watch. Just not on a regular basis. It wasn’t grabbing my attention like it used to. Things kept going back to the status quo. And now its star Nina Dobrev is leaving at the end of the current season.
For the past month I’ve been obsessed with an old show entitled Twin Peaks. It was a David Lynch and Mark Frost television show starring – well, Kyle MacLachlan from the current show, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It was a quirky, foreboding series. And fun. The show ran from 1990 to 1991. I just finished the first episode of the second season.
The other day, Ryan Reynolds had a mock interview with Extra’s Mario Lopez about Deadpool. Fans of the comics – including Reynolds himself – sorely wanted an R-rated movie. Deadpool, after all, has gratuitous violence and inappropriate humor. Great, inappropriate meta-humor.
The past couple weeks have went by fast and before I knew it, it’s the first of April. Usually I have a silly post that only my friends would find funny, but I can’t help myself from sharing with the class. This time I had nothing written. This time the fool is me.
Marvel Studios was really on something with their cinematic universe; other franchises started to follow its lead. Unfortunately, the next one is Transformers.
We’re all looking forward to our favorite superheroes teaming up again to face another threat in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. And besides a different villain, there’s two wild cards that are entering the fray: Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. To settle some curiosity – just a little – a little video was released, introducing these characters.
You know the drill. Watch.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron takes theaters over May 1, 2015.
