Sam is Back

    So apparently Samuel L Jackson is back on to play Nick Fury in the upcoming billion Marvel movies. Jackson signed a 9 movie deal to play the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. They must have thrown him ten extra bucks, a sandwich, and told him the movies would be terrible. I like Jackson but the guy does everything so I was wondering what Marvel did to piss him off. Well regardless he's back, I hope everyone likes the Ultimate version of Fury and not the classic.

Futurama 1993-2003 oh and 2008-2009

    It only had 72 episodes and 4 movies but it is easy to say that it is my favorite cartoon of all time. Fry, Bender, Leela and the crew had its ups and downs but was always funny. I laughed I cried (come on who can forget the dog episode) and now its over. Here's to Futurama a cartoon that was never fully understood but was always great.

Iron Man 2

    Hey who here likes Iron Man? Well one of our writers here hates the movie more than anything. But for those of you who want to know more here is a nugget if info. The date of release has been known for quite some time but its going to start shooting in April. That just about a month away. I can't help getting excited for this sequel. Downey as Tony Stark is probably the best cast person in any comic book film to date. Some may argue Ledger as the Joker but come on almost all of you said what the @#$% when they said it would be Ledger. I didn't, anyways there you go.

Terminator Fans

    The cover of Empire magazine is going to have a Terminator cover for it April issue. I have flip flopped on this movie several times but no one can deny that this is a pretty cool picture.

Half-Life 2 Live Action (Escape from city 17)

    I just beat Half-Life 2 (again) last month, so coming across this on IGN today was totally awesome. An awesome video from ... I have no idea who... but they make it feel completely like the game. If you've played the game then you don't need any setup. If you have never played it you might be a little lost, but still a cool little short video to watch. I think there is more to come to because this video says it is part 1.

Harry Potter clip

    Here is a behind the scenes type clip from the upcoming Harry Potter film. I have read all the books with Order of the Phoenix being my favorite. I thought the movie was great and I'm really looking forward to this one. There are a few spoilers so don't watch if you don't want to know anything. Although you should have read the book and you should know whats happening. Enjoy.

California's video game law ruled unconstitutional

    If you live in California, then a little bit of your faith in our judicial system can be restored. The judges decided that there was no real link between violent video games and violent acts (thank god someone understands this) and that the parents should be responsible for what games that their minors are playing (thank god +2). While personally I agree with minors not being able to buy M rated games, this is a win because lawmakers were trying to create new labels for games they deem too mature for minors. Good times all around.

The Simpsons in HD

        If you saw the Simpsons movie, then you saw how awesome the show could look in HD. Well now, starting with the new episode tomorrow, all episodes will be in HD. They unfortunately could not bring the old intro over and had to redo it. Below is the youtube video of it, so be sure to check it out tomorrow night if you still watch the show.

Mighty Muggs

    I love Mighty Muggs, they have been a favorite of mine for quite some time. So I thought it would be a good idea to show the new exclusive Start Wars Mighty Muggs that Entertainment Earth will have. I really like the Obi-Wan figure.
