Trailer Review: Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Jackass Movie HD
After the death of one of the Jackass members, Johnny Knoxville said he wanted more. He is now spinning off one of his characters. Originally I had low expectations for the movie because it wouldn't feature anyone else, but I have to say I laughed so much. The stupidity and hilarity of his character and his fake kid is just great. This does seem to be real reactions that may have gotten him in trouble which is great as well. I am so excited for this definitely seeing it is just a matter of when.
Did you like the trailer? Comment below and follow me on this blog, Blogbuster411, http://blogbuster411.blogspot.com/. Bookmark my daily page. Jackass presents: Bad Grandpa will be released on October 25 of this year.

Top 10 # 4: TV and Movie Speeches
(Highlight last 8 speeches to read) Speech! Speech!I started thinking after seeing, the Doctor Who episode, Rings of Akhaten, I thought about the best fictional TV and movie speeches ever made and acted. I have comprised my list into the top ten speeches of all time:
Topping the list is, of course is:
10. (tie) The Rings of Akhaten speech(Doctor Who)- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irpmtTbvXwM "Wake Up" Song in the background.- Okay, that's what I'll do, I will tell you a story. Can you hear them? All these people who lived in terror of you and your judgement. All these people whose ancestors devoted themselves, sacrificed themselves to you. Can you hear them singing? Oh you like to think you're a god, but you're not a god, you're just a parasite, eat now, with jealousy and envy, and longing for the lives of others, you feed on them,on the memory of love, and loss and birth and death and joy and sorrow. So, so, come on then, take mine, take my memories. And I hope you've got a big appetite, because I have lived a long life and I have seen a few things. I walked away from the last great Time War, I marked the passing of the Time Lords, I saw the birth of the universe and I watched as time ran out. Moment by moment until nothing remained, no time, no space, just me! I walked in universes where the laws of physics weren't devised by the mind of a mad man. And I watched universes freeze and creations burn. I have seen things you wouldn't believe, I have lost things you will never understand. And I know things, secrets that must never be told, knowledge that must never be spoken, knowledge that will make parasite gods blaze. So, come on then, take it, take it all, baby!!! Have it, you have it all!!!-Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor
10.(tie) The Pandorica Opens(Doctor Who)-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xjnht1k8M7w#at=47- Hello Stonehenge! Who takes the Pandorica, takes the universe ,but bad news everyone, cause guess who. Ha. Listen you lot you're all whizzing about. It's really very distracting. Could you all just stay still for just a minute because I am talking! Now the question of the hour is: Who's got the Pandorica? Answer: I do. Next question: Who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me! No plan, no backup, no weapons worth a damn! Oh, and something else I don't have anything to lose. So if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceships with all your silly little guns and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica, tonight. Just remember who's standing in your way. Remember every black day I ever stopped you. And then,and then, do the smart thing. Let somebody else try first.-Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor
8. Armageddon- 14 Brave Souls speech- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_sUlupV48I-I address you tonight not as the President of the United States, not as the leader of a country, but as a citizen of humanity. We are faced with the very gravest of challenges. The Bible calls this day "Armageddon"-the end of all things. And yet, for the first time in the history of the planet, a species has the technology to prevent its own extinction. All of you praying with us need to know that everything that can be done to prevent this disaster is being called into service. The human thirst for excellence, knowledge, every step up the ladder of science, every adventurous reach into space, all of our combined modern technologies and imaginations, even the wars that we've fought have provided us the tools to wage this terrible battle. Through all the chaos that is our history, through all of the wrongs and the discord, through all of the pain and suffering, through all of our times, there is one thing that has nourished our souls, and elevated our species above its origins, and that is our courage.The dreams of an entire planet are focused tonight on those fourteen brave souls traveling into the heavens. And may we all, citizens the world over, see these events through. God speed, and good luck to you.- Stanley Anderson as the President
7. Animal House- Bluto's inspirational speech- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7vtWB4owdE-
Bluto: Christ! Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking peace corps!
- Andy: My wife used to say I'm a hard man to know. Like a closed book. Complained about it all the time. She was beautiful. God, I loved her. I just didn't know how to show it, that's all. [pause] I killed her Red. I didn't pull the trigger. But I drove her away. That's why she died, because of me. The way I am.
- Red: [pause] That don't make you a murderer. A bad husband, maybe. Feel bad about it if you want to, but you didn't pull the trigger.
- Andy: No, I didn't. Somebody else did. And I wound up in here. [laughs] Bad luck, I guess.
- Red: [sighs] Yeah
- Andy: It floats around. It's got to land on somebody. It was my turn, that's all. I was in the path of the tornado. [sighs] I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has.
- Red:You think you'll ever get out of here?
- Red: I don't think you ought to be doing this to yourself, Andy. This is just shitty pipedreams. I mean, Mexico is way the hell down there and you're in here, and that's the way it is.
- Andy: Yeah, right. That's the way it is. It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
- Rehabilitation Officer: Ellis Boyd Redding: your file says you've served 40 years of a life sentence. Do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
- Red: Rehabilitated?... Well, now, let me see. You know, I don't have any idea what that means.
- Rehabilitation Officer: Well, it means that you're ready to rejoin society, to—
- Red: I know what you think it means, sonny. To me it's just a made-up word. A politician's word, so that young fellas like yourself can wear a suit and a tie and have a job. What do you really wanna know? Am I sorry for what I did?
- Rehabilitation Officer: Well, are you?
- Red: There's not a day goes by that I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I gotta live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So go ahead and stamp your forms, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.-Tim Robbins as Andy,and Morgan Freeman as Red
- [Frodo attacks Sam with his sword]
- Samwise Gamgee: It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?
- [Frodo snaps out of the spell, horrified, and drops his sword]
- Frodo Baggins: I can't do this, Sam.
- Samwise Gamgee: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo; the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was, when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
- Frodo Baggins: What are we holding on to, Sam?
- Samwise Gamgee: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
- Samwise Gamgee: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales.
- Frodo Baggins: What?
- Samwise Gamgee: I wonder if people will ever say, "Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring," and they'll say, "Yes, that's one of my favorite stories." "Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?" "Yes, my boy, the most famousest of Hobbits. And that's saying a lot."
- Frodo Baggins: You left out one of the chief characters: Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. [Frodo stops walking and turns around to face Sam] Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam.
- Samwise Gamgee: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun. I was being serious.
- Frodo Baggins: So was I. [walks ahead]
- Samwise Gamgee: [to himself] Samwise the Brave.- Sean Astin as Samwise Gamgee and Elijah Wood as Frodo
- [to Pumpkin, who Jules calls 'Ringo'] I'm givin' you that money so I don't have to kill your ass. You read the Bible, Ringo? Well, there's this passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." I been saying that shit for years. And if you heard it, that meant your ass. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was some cold-blooded shit to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this morning made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking, maybe it means you're the evil man, and I'm the righteous man, and Mr. 9 millimeter here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is, you're the weak, and I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd.-Samuel L Jackson as Jules Winnfield
- "Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember us why we died." For he didn't wish tribute or song. No monuments, no poems of war and valour. His wish was simple: "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope. Should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be, may all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones: Go tell the Spartans, passer-by, that here, by Spartan law, we lie. So my king died and my brothers died... Barely a year ago, long I pondered my king's cryptic talk of victory; time has proven him wise. But from free Greek to free Greek, the word was spread that bold Leonidas and his 300, so far from home, laid down their lives, not just for Sparta, but for all Greece and the promise this country holds. Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called Plataea, Xerxes' hordes face obliteration! Just there the barbarians huddle, sheer terror gripping tight their hearts with icy fingers, knowing full well what merciless horrors they suffered at the swords and spears of 300. Yet they stare now across the plain at 10,000 Spartans commanding 30,000 free Greeks! [Faces the army] Haroo! The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one; good odds for any Greek. This day we rescue a world from mysticism and tyranny, and usher in a future brighter than anything we could imagine. Give thanks, men! To Leonidas, and the brave 300! To victory! David Wenham as Dilios
- Stephen: The Almighty says this must be a fashionable fight. It's drawn the finest people.
- Lochlan: Where is thy salute?
- William: For presenting yourselves on this battlefield, I give you thanks.
- Lochlan: This is our army. To join it you give homage.
- William Wallace: I give homage to Scotland. And if this is your army, why does it go?
- Veteran: We didn't come here to fight for them.
- Young Soldier: Home! The English are too many!
- William Wallace: Sons of Scotland! I am William Wallace.
- Young Soldier: William Wallace is seven feet tall!
- William Wallace: Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. [the Scots laugh] I am William Wallace! And I see a whole army of my country men here in defiance of tyranny. You've come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do with that freedom? Will you fight?
- Veteran: Fight? Against that? No, we will run. And we will live.
- William Wallace: Aye. Fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM! Alba gu bràth!-Mel Gibson as Sir William Wallace
- Good morning. [turns on mic] Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world, and you will be launching the largest aerial battle 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 anymore. 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 annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live. 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 when the world 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 our Independence Day!-Bill Pulman as President Thomas Whitmore

Doctor Who Series 7 review and 50th/8th series speculation (Major Spoilers!)
I'm gonna start by saying if it weren't for a few episodes this season I would say this was the weakest of Doctor Who yet. But I consider Series 2 to be the weakest so. Let's get on with the review! So the season started off okay with the Christmas special, which I had no precise care for. I liked the chemistry as well as the mystery about the husband. However after I was surprised to find that Amy and Rory had split. The Asylum of the Daleks pretty much changes a lot because the Doctor is now unknown to them. Other then these two episodes it went a little downhill. Dinosaurs on a Spaceship and Power of Three failed despite the potential. A Town Called Mercy I liked but many audience members didn't. Angels take Manhattan was a fitting end to the Amy and Rory story, it saddened me but I felt life had to go on. As for Part 2 and the second Christmas special, (which I binged watched today) they were good. The best by far being The Name of the Doctor, Cold War,and Hide. The other episodes fell short, but many had great moments leading to the escalated finale and lead up to the 50th. This means Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS. Others fell flat but I loved the speech during The Rings of Akhaten which made me cry and the wonder in The Bells of Saint John. The two other episodes Nightmare in Silver and Crimson Horror were just okay, Crimson Horror being my favorite of them. There were more flaws then previous seasons but it all ended up adding to the 50 year question, Doctor Who?
The Verdict: Series 7 provided a great season(I consider all Doctor Who episodes to be great) with many twists and turns included in mainly The Name of the Doctor, The Angels Take Manhattan, and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS. 8/10
Speculation for Series 8(including Christmas Special) and the 50th Anniversary special: Although everybody is speculating, and I mean everyone, on the upcoming season and anniversary of the 50 year old TV series, no one is doing it right. Many are just talking about the 12th doctor. But I will speculate about all of it. It's hard to predict Moffet's writing because of his many unexpected endings, but it is not impossible. I predict 10 things for all of the episodes to come meaning Series 8, 50th anniversary, and the 2013 Christmas special:
10. Clara will sleep with the Doctor(Clara may conceive)- The real Doctor's daughter, unless women character.
9. David Tennant will be from the other universe, not the past-I hate to say it but it will only be a shock to Rose.
8. Matt Smith will get hit by a Dalek laser and regenerate- Just like what 10 almost died from.
7. John Hurt's character will redeem himself-Doctor will become 13 instead of 12
6. There will be two parters-Nuff said
5. A big episode is coming- maybe the return of the Master or the Time Lords
4. The Doctor will become darker-The effects of Christmas will change him
3. Clara will die at seasons end- Come on, she has chemistry with this Doctor, but maybe not the next
2. The new Doctor will be black, ginger or a girl-It's been teased by Moffet, plus we need a change
1. The new series will feature old friends-Captain Jack, Mickey and Martha may return

Trailer Review: Romeo And Juliet Official Trailer #2 (2013) - Hailee Steinfeld, Paul Gia...
The age old tale of two lovers forbidden to love each other is back. It looks like it could be another Snow White and the Huntsman because of the darker side of the trailer. There's little chance I'll see this in theaters, but it still looks good.

Lionsgate Panel
At the smallest movie panel last Saturday, the newly major studio branded company released a new trailer for both I, Frankenstein and Catching Fire. Only the Catching Fire trailer is available online. However, since the company is just getting larger the news was low profile compared to everything else. So technically that's it. That concludes my comic con 2013 coverage(mostly). Trailer reviews, Comic Con review, overview,breakdown, assessment and three TV panels I could not miss on Sunday will be up tomorrow for the final news and trailers released at Comic Con 2013.

Legendary and Warner Bros. panels
After the announcement of the World's Finest movie Warner Bros. and Legendary had a great panel. They showed the upcoming Tom Cruise film, Edge of Tomorrow, which is a Source Code type movie. The plot is a soldier keeps on dying in the battlefield and then returns to the point in time where he was to somehow learn something. I liked Source Code and I bet I'd like this. The two also announced new cast members for the Lego Movie, Jonah Hill as Green Lantern, Colbie Smulders as Wonder Woman and now confirmed Superman is portrayed by Channing Tatum. Two other talents were announced without specific roles, Community's Alison Brie,and Always Sunny alum Charlie Day. More footage was shown for their three major upcoming projects, Godzilla, 300: Rise of an Empire, and Seventh Son. Each got applause the most being Godzilla. At the panel they showed the first look at the monster and even more secrets. The journalists inside reported that there may in fact be two monsters(possibly Mothra). And finally they announced that the (World of)Warcraft movie is moving along with director Duncan Jones. At the panel they showed concept photos and footage. Like Guardians of the Galaxy they announced it would be a Fantasy Space Western Comedy. From what I've heard it was great footage.

Star Wars VII possible castings!
(Not Macauly Culkin)
What!? Star Wars VII looks like it may add some weird cast members according to LatinoReview.com. Zac Efron, Ryan Gosling,and Leonardo DiCaprio are being considered for roles in the upcoming film. I really don't think DiCaprio is a good choice but I like him as an actor. Efron doesn't fit at all unless this is going to be a musical. But Gosling on the other hand will pull women and men into the seats because his gritty romantic types of movies. Although these are just rumors LatinoReview is right most of the time. This shocks me though because on a usual day I would say none of these people match the descriptions in mind of the future characters. However, in two weeks at D23 the Disney conference, they will most likely announce the cast blowing comic con news off the internet.

20th Century Fox panel
At the beginning of the panel they introduced Dawn of the Planet of the Apes a sequel to the 2011 film Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The early footage showed less apes then humans because of the time it takes to make this effect. What I've heard is the footage was good, but as you would expect showed little. Next was Wolverine, which was released yesterday. They showed footage in 3D and 2D which showcased major parts of the film. The crowd cheered, but they were really waiting for what was next, X-Men Days of Future Past. They showed footage of the Oval Office action and they revealed that Wolverine would indeed be the time traveler instead of Kitty Pryde. From what I've heard this was the most exciting news other then Avengers:Age of Ultron,and Batman VS. Superman. Apes Viral website:http://www.simianflu.com/us/#!/the-simian-flu-and-you

I, Frankenstein
The motion poster for the upcoming action thriller was released and it looks pretty awesome. The story takes place in the modern world. The upcoming release about Frankenstein looked deeper into the life of Frankenstein and his search for his purpose, after, as you all probably know his creator's death. I love this idea and the cast is epic, but I'm not a huge fan of late winter releases(ie January and February). This shows less confidence in Hollywood's properties. Anyway the motion poster looks great and supernatural which shows a darker life of the new fad. I will say that the title and synopsis is enough to make me see this in theaters next January.

Hollywood Game Night Episode 3 Review "Saturday Night Reunion"
Like the first two episodes of Hollywood Game Night, this entertains. The stars in this episode got a little more drunk, and a little more funny. Some couldn't figure out the games, but as far as Sudekis was concerned, he rocked even though hammered. I love this show and will keep watching this summer it is a must-watch for any TV guru. Nothing was wrong with this episode at all.
The Verdict: Hollywood Game Night doesn't stumble, it only gets better.10/10
+ Jane Lynch is getting better
+ The Games
+ Funny Alcohol bits
+ Fun playing at home

5 reasons why 2012's Battleship is stupid but entertaining
I recently viewed 2012's Battleship upon hearing of it being terrible. It wasn't as terrible then how people said it was, but it was still bad. Don't get me wrong the movie was very, very, entertaining, but it is definitely not one you should watch seriously. These are 5 reasons why it is so stupid but entertaining:
5. Brooklyn Decker is hot- Enough said.
4. The Aliens- Okay these squid, monkey, lizard, humanoids are weird and stupid for coming to earth with their sunlight weakness.
3. The Destruction- Who doesn't like a huge disaster movie?
2. The Veterans- I'm not sure if these guys have all their smarts left,but they sure can lift an 1000 pound bomb.
1. 2 of the best F-bomb covers in a PG-13 movie- Mahalo Motherf*ckers, Let's drop some lead on these motherf*ckers.
Although Battleship had lots of flaws it still is entertaining, I would recommend you watch this on a rainy day.

Family Guy Season 12 and 13 news!
The Family Guy 2013 comic con panel hit the jackpot in TV news. After announcing the Simpsons Guy crossover many fans anticipated last Saturday's panel for more news. But they got more then they asked for. First of all Cleveland will be moving back to Quahog in an episode titled "I'm Black". I am super excited for this because of the Cleveland show characters mixing with all of Quahog. Other announcements include a death of a Griffin family member. This surprises me because a commentary on one of the DVD's said any other deaths would be permanent. That means it won't be another Stewie Kills Lois, Lois Kills Stewie. My bets are on Meg, Chris,or Brian. Meg because Mila Kunis is moving on plus no one likes Meg in the Griffin family. Chris because Seth Green is also moving on and he is the least cared for character in the show. As for Brian, since MacFarlane voices most of the characters he may need a little bit of the load taken off because of his movie career taking off, in addition Brian is an old dog that could be replaced. Yes, another new member will take the place of one of the six members of the famous sitcom family. This could mean something fresh for the aging TV series. In other news new guest spots and episodes have been announced. this year's voice cast includes Adam Levine, Bryan Cranston,and Jeff Daniels. Story lines will follow Quagmire and Peter in a folk duo, Grimm fairy tales parody,and Peter finds his twin. The final announcement made was that my assumption of the hour long special in season 13's episode The Simpsons Guy, may be correct, the chicken fight may happen for at least five minutes including Homer, Peter,and the Chicken(Somehow). That's it for this panel.

12 Years A Slave Official Trailer #1 (2013) - Chiwetel Ejiofor Movie HD
The potential Oscar contender released it's trailer and it is amazing. The trailer shows the life of a free man turned into a slave and his time as a slave. The cast shown is amazing and as seen in the first trailer is well acted. Although there is not a ton to work on I am still really looking forward to this movie.

Simpsons-Futurama crossover(s)?
After Futurama's cancellation this year, Matt Groening, creator of the Simpsons and Futurama announced there may be multiple crossovers between the two shows at comic con last week. The crossovers would have to do with time travel as well as some dimension hopping. This could be great fun, but honestly I like the Family Guy-Simpsons crossover idea better. This does open it up for more opportunities for the Simpsons as well. The Simpsons could mistakenly travel to the year 3000 get stuck there in future Springfield.

RED 2 review (Spoilers!)
Recently I visited the nearest movie theater to see this sequel that wasn't needed but made the franchise so much better. Despite not having Morgan Freeman in the sequel RED 2 still entertains with great villains and more familiar faces such as Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Lee Byung-hun. Although having many plot holes you tend to not care, because you are just entertained. The action is better then the first, because of the larger budget, in which more CG work was used for the helicopter crash and truck crash. It capitalized on the larger parts of the first film adding some references from it's predecessor. The comedic timing was probably the best part of the film. Every joke got at least one laugh from the audience.
The Verdict: Although RED 2 suffers from many plot holes and originality issues, the careless action sequences and great comedy carries you through the movie entertained and thoroughly satisfied. 7/10

The ADHD preview was terrible! I hated it, although it aimed for an adult audience this show is best for kids. There weren't any morals, no good comedy,but there was one thing,violence. Although it is TV-14 I'm not sure why, the violence wasn't gory and there was no language. This is best meant for stoners. The script was terrible,and in 15 minutes gave me only one laugh. An absolute failure and please do not waste your time with this.
The Verdict: Axe Cop and ADHD are a complete waste of time. 0.5/10
+ One laugh in an alien interrogation scene
- Terrible script
- Not funny or violent,no moral as well
- The worst show on television
- No story
- Stoners will watch this, waste of Nick Offerman

(Bonus Video Game) Marvel Lego Superheroes!
I know this is not movie, comic or television new,but I love the Lego games. And when Marvel gets a first time Lego game it's kinda a big deal. A poster made from the games many screenshots. I am a huge Marvel fan and this is awesome. Gameplay from the video game was shown on IGN. It had many characters, some that I've only heard of, not seen. It even included creator Stan Lee with all of the powers of his characters with him voicing as well.

Marvel Panel explodes at Comic Con!
After Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox's panels Marvel took center stage and tried to top that. And they did! At the panel they showed footage from all their films including a teaser for the now buzzing title, Avengers: Age of Ultron. When I refreshed my live browser and blog from First Showing.com I immediately jumped for joy. This title tells the ultimate and leads us to believe that they will add more characters then just Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Yes, now it seems Ant-Man aka Hank Pym creator of Ultron(who could be played or voiced by Vin Diesel) will be involved in Avengers before his film. This also opens the wings for the character Wasp aka Janet Van Dye his girlfriend and partner in crime solving. Marvel you got us, originally believed to be Thanos it is now apparent that the villain will be Ultron instead. It is now believed that the villain Thanos will be in Guardians of the Galaxy instead because they are an easier enemy then the Avengers and Ultron was revealed for A2. As far as that goes couldn't be happier! Other panel news is footage was shown form every other phase two movie with Guardians of the Galaxy(only 10-14 days into filming) getting the largest applause. The footage showed action scenes with all the characters as well as Star Lord dialogue only scenes. As far as the other two films Captain America showed off the Helicarrier crash and more fight scenes with Falcon, Robert Redford and himself. The Thor two footage got the most applause at the end and beginning when Loki(Tom Hiddleston) appeared in full costume and character and Loki punched Thor against his hammer hand. Overall Marvel preformed great and I wish to see the footage soon.

Breaking news from comic con! Warner Bros. and Legendary have released information on the next DC movie. Since Superman is such a hit with audiences they have announced a Superman-Batman team up movie. Henry Cavill will reprise his role as Superman and an unknown actor will cast as Batman. As far as villain goes most predict Lex Luthor. Goyer and Snyder will return for the new film as well. It is set to follow Man of steel for a 2015 release. Two other movies are expected to be announced for DC as well, a 2016 Flash movie and a follow up to it in 2017, Justice League. No casting announcements have been made. I am so excited on this subject Superman and Batman cause destruction and mayhem and then most likely take down a common foe, wow! As for Flash,yes, Justice League, no, take the Marvel formula. The characters are harder to introduce I know but they must do it. People may not like the character if they don't know them.

Comic Con 2013: Amazing Spiderman 2
At the Amazing Spiderman 2 panel they released an almost complete trailer. At the beginning Spiderman is enjoying life. The footage shown revealed Gwen's love for both Spiderman and Peter Parker and the villains. The main villain was confirmed as Electro and showed his origin and cool powers. He can move through power sockets and electrocute anyone. Foxx is really dark in this role. Giamatti was shown not in a rhino suit. The end of the panel brought on thing for discussion Spiderman in Avengers 2. Garfield wants it really bad. (Courtesy of Coming Soon.net) Although the footage sounds cool I think I need to se it to actually judge this one. It seems a lot like the original's second half where he loves being Spiderman and then versus a villain greater then him. However with many more villain's added this could be really cool if executed correctly.

Walking Dead to give each character a major plot line through the fourth season plus Governor may not appear when you expect him to
An IGN interview with Robert Kirkman gave away information on the new season, he said Beth has a large part in this season as well as one major plot line for each major character. Earlier I talked about this a little more with the Walking Dead trailer,but he also says the Governor will appear when you least expect him to. He currently says that Carl and Rick will have friction throughout because Carl is a psychopath for killing a kid at the end of season 3. However I am really excited that there will be more of a zombie threat and that it is getting harder to live. This creates the best drama on television. Also when Breaking Bad and Mad Men are taken off the drama list next year for the Emmy's, The Walking Dead may have a chance for best TV Drama.

Netflix Emmy Nominations Stun
This year's television awards have got their nominations. What stunned most people was the amount of nominations Netflix got. Only Orange is the New Black(because it was late) and Bad Samaritans failed to capture nominations. Arrested Development got 3 nominations followed by House of Cards with 9 and finally Hemlock Grove with 2. This surprises many and also shows that this the next generation of television. Although most nominations didn't come as a surprise including Best Dramas and Comedies as well as lead actors/actresses. I am excited for this and can't wait for September.

Hollywood Game Night review episodes 1 and 2
The new NBC reality series may be the next reality hit. I love the show right off the bat. The idea is intriguing and it brings out fun in actors, actresses and celebrities. After the first five minutes I was hooked. The show does falter with Jane Lynch being scripted,but other then that it is obviously not scripted. The games are great and the drinking element adds to the fun. I can't wait to see more. The first episode with Martin Short proved he can't handle his alcohol and the second proved Yvette Nicole Brown is a trivia master.
The Verdict: The show has little flaws and is hilarious to watch.9.5/10
+ Not scripted
+Games and celebrities
+ Alcohol + Celebrities= madness
+/- Jane Lynch

Robocop panel and news
Now set for a 2014 release Robocop,a remake,it is finally getting news, images and videos. Today's panel at Comic Con 2013 they showed off some new footage and a trailer for the new Robocop. Most showcased the other robots going crazy and killing people. It shows the origin of Robocop and gives his new looks. People say the footage is great and the effects are also great a mix between CGI and practical effects. The crowd is won over by the footage. Then images are shown of all his armors. During the panel they discuss they are selling this movies to Americans. (forum courtesy of ComingSoon.net) The panel ends. I honestly love Robocop and this remake I've followed from the beginning and the things they've released so far are not appetizing. But this sounds promising, I look forward to the full reveal.

The World's End is not the End
The World's End Edgar Wright' not film is not the end. After this trilogy the three(Nick Frost, Simon Pegg,and Edgar Wright) will join again for maybe another trilogy. As you probably know I love all of Edgar Wright's movies Shaun of the Dead being my favorite I think they approach films perfectly. As the World's End gets it's first reviews in it definitely shows another hit. So I'm excited and hope you are too, Simon teased "If we keep coming up with great stories, then we will make more." Edgar will most likely move on to Ant-Man first and then make another Shaun of the Dead-esque film.

Phineas and Ferb Star Wars
We knew this was coming. After Marvel's and Disney's crossover with the famous Disney Channel show Phineas and Ferb it was apparent that when Disney also acquired Star wars that this was coming as well. As for the plot it will most likely show all the Star Wars characters involved in the show. I love Phineas and Ferb but I just don't know what they could do for it. Disney has done a great job managing the property so far so I'm glad that they're at least trying. Plus I'm still waiting for the Phineas and Ferb movie.

Riddick - Red Band Trailer
This trailer is awesome. It is gory, it goes back to it's R rating roots,and still shows a story that shows little. This footage was shown at the comic con panel and made a big splash with people. At the end of the panel Diesel was questioned about his role in the Marvel universe he made a little announcement. He says we will get an announcement later this month or this week about his role in a future Marvel film, most speculate he will play Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Vision,or Ant-Man(Giant Man).

Godzilla experience and more then one monster?
At this comic con we get our first glance at 2014's Godzilla. Going back to 50's style Godzilla films the 1954 version of the character will be heavily used in the 2014 summer blockbuster. As you can see on the left is a model of the Godzilla type they may be using(courtesy of IGN). There is also a museum showing the history of Godzilla films and other stuff. On the right is a piece of footage shown of only Godzilla's eyes courtesy of Gamespot. When you get rumblings people are taken into a room and you can see this low resolution footage of Godzilla coming up to the window. The video stops after there and it is unknown what comes after. Although the rumors are not yet confirmed, on the IGN live stream, Garreth Edwards was being interviewed and may have accidentally spoiled something for this weekend's panel. His leak was that there was something else coming to the panel maybe a preview trailer as well as maybe a second monster involved. A producer then waved him off. One of those will most likely be true. I'm more excited for the footage then any other monster. He said this movie will be bigger then the scale of destruction of Pacific Rim.

Comic-Con Trailer: The Walking Dead Season 4 and premiere date discussion
Finally it has arrived a release of the Walking Dead season 4 trailer. At Comic Con in the past half hour the series has released it's first look and let me just say this will be the best season ever. I'm not kidding when I say that because the footage looks gritty, older,and has a whole new tone to it. The gore seems to be toned up while also with the intense mental weight on the characters. The shows release is aimed for October 13 which is earlier then the expected Halloween release of the past few seasons. As far as the governor's role, he will play more behind the scenes then any character and as Kirkman said yesterday"will appear when you least expect him too."

Divergent and Ender's Game Footage plus more on Ender's Game (Spoilers for Divergent footage!)
Last night at these two panels they released new footage. For Ender's Game they are keeping secret for a little while longer. The audience is also following through with that promise because no pictures, synopsis, or videos or available on the internet right now other then the previously released teaser. divergent however has allowed people to tell the synopsis of the Divergent footage on the web. According to IGN the footage showed the breakdown and told this will most likely be the next Hunger Games aiming for a similar March release. The footage from Divergent shows an amount of action with training montages and lots and lots of running. Although this news is mostly positive it seems it hasn't been much of a splash as first was expected.

Intelligence and the Blacklist recieve great audience reactions while Almost Human, The 100,and the Tomorrow People receive mixed reactions(Update!)Sleepy Hollow
As the pilots for new fall shows premiered at comic con mixed reactions came for some of the pilots. According to IGN and Deadline.com the Blacklist and CBS's Intelligence performed well from the audience and got a good applause. For the other three pilots shown Almost Human preformed okay with a cool futuristic environment and also being called the next Fringe. The CW pilots shown also got a mixed response with the 100 being more committed to the Sci-fy show with the space scenes being realistic. The Tomorrow People got the worst rep but overall still got positive reactions. Based on the news of the pilots reactions it seems that the drama for 2013 will finally be another contender after the nearly disastrous 2012 season. This not only gives me hope but a sense of relief for Sci-fy in general because most of the shows that were sci-fy generally received positive ratings. Sleepy Hollow the last major pilot airing got mixed reactions as well with people saying it is goofy but entertaining.

The Simpsons Guy!
The two most popular Animation Domination shows Family Guy and The Simpsons are finally getting a crossover. After bashing heads for 11 years it's time to set aside their differences and become one. According to Deadline.com the crossover will take place in Springfield when the Griffin's visit. Bart and Stewie will love the pranks, Meg and Lisa try to find something they're both good at, Marge and Lois will bond,and finally Peter will argue with Homer about which beer is better Patuckett or Duff. I am really excited for this to air in fall 2014 because it really gives them time to do it. I suppose the episode will be a hour long because of the two time slots. These two are my favorite programs on AD, with American Dad moving to TBS next Fall. Although I am super stoked I hope that they can agree on a rating of TV-14 which a Simpsons episode has never done. Fortunately it seems to be more on the Family Guy side.
This could set up for more crossovers and jokes in the future between the two shows. The hardest bashing either has ever done was on the Family Guy Volume 6 DVD on the uncensored episode Lois Kills Stewie where the line was in the song "The List". The line basically mocked that the Simpsons and I quote" That guy who from 1994 who won't admit that the damn thing isn't funny anymore." The rivalry will most likely escalate at the end of the episode when they battle each other over their differences. Let's all hope that this goes well and we can have a three way fight between the chicken, Peter,and Homer. This news has come before the Sunday AD panels on Sunday.

Star Wars VII scripts? Leaked image?
Today the Bad Robot production company leaked pictures of their new script onto Twitter. Most speculate that this is indeed the Star Wars VII script. I speculate it is either that or a mystery script because this is only other project they have that isn't in production. This excites my interest and I wonder how long or what is inside the mythical pages. This could also be the final draft in which we may finally have a definite schedule for production and a cast.

2013: The Return of the Comedy
In the past couple of years networks have tried to pass Comedies to the audiences and failed trying. As said in my previous article, the networks don't make them like they used to in the 80's and early 2000's. Previous comedies have been considered classics,and only a handful great comedies are left, Modern Family, Community, The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Rec. and Two and a Half Men remain. With Community and Two and a Half Men getting old for some viewers that leaves only three really good comedies left for the future. So is this year the return of the comedy. The six above aren't all predicted to make a big splash although a couple of them are. NBC is relying heavily on their new comedy filled lineup after cancelling every one but two comedies(Community and Parks and Rec.) to make room on their schedule. Only a few NBC comedies are expected to make the cut this year, but over at FOX they are being declared the winner of this years pilot season, having interesting dramas and hilarious comedies. (except for Dads.) As for ABC, and CBS their schedules seems to have opened as they also let go of a lot of shows to try to add more laughs to their schedules. I am predicting that the MJF show, The Goldbergs, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be the saviors of this years comedy crop and finally get network television back to form.
