So far I’m loving the Planet of the Apes reboot. It also makes me nostalgic however. When I was very young, in the 1970s, the original movies were wildly popular – so much so that they inspired a short lived animated series and a one season live action series. The live action series, Planet of…
My Ghostbusters 3 Pitch
I loved Ghostbusters, it was one of the funniest films ever made. Ghostbusters II was ok. It wasn’t close to the original, but it was ok. Ghostbusters III has been a rumor for nearly two decades. The big problem with Ghostbusters 3 is that Dan Aykroyd is the only person still pushing for it. Bill…
Almost Human should get a season 2
Over at Slate, Nell McShane Wulfhart posted an article on why Almost Human deserves a second season. The primary point of the article is that “It’s got some of the best futuristic tech on television today.” Wulfhart talks about some of these technologies including 3D printers, robots, drones and various medical technologies. To tell the truth I…
Future plans for Game of Thrones series laid out in Vanity Fair article
A Vanity Fair article in which contributing editor Jim Windolf talks to George R. R. Martin and others involved in the show will hit newsstands on Thursday.

If 10 seasons wasn’t enough, the “Infinite Friends” script generator has you covered

Those scripts can then be dropped into Plotagon and animated into video you can watch. Obviously the bad…

That would involve copyright and other such things. At the same time though, it is about those poor doomed…
Are You Watching Helix?
Zombies have nearly run their course. They, along with vampires, wizards and the ‘supernatural’ in general have had a good run for the past few decades but we’re quickly reaching the point where we’ve had every possible variation of every story, for now anyway. NBC’s Dracula, which was actually pretty good, portrayed the Transylvanian bloodsucker…
Documentary Celebrating 10 Years of the Walking Dead [video]
This is from the Official Walking Dead YouTube channel, so not a lot of complaints about things they changed for the TV series, but it’s still a nice look back for the 10 year anniversary of what is rapidly becoming an institution.
[Video] S.H.I.E.L.D. Looks a Bit Like MIB but with Super Heroes
Joss Whedon’s new series S.H.I.E.L.D., coming this fall on ABC, looks like it is taking the Men In Black ” You’re a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don’t exist; you were never even born…” etc., It also looks really good. Granted, pretty much anything can look good in…
