    BioWare Cancels Shadow Realms RPG Development

    I wasn't thrilled by the 4v1 design, but I was intrigued by the setting and willing to give it a try. So I'm a little disappointed to see it cancelled.

    Spider-Man's Come Home to Marvel

    According to Marvel, he'll be in a Marvel film before his own. My guess would be Captain America as that makes more sense than Doc Strange or Guardians 2. http://marvel.com/news/movies/24062/sony_pictures_entertainment_brings_marvel_studios_into_the_amazing_world_of_spider-man

    The Nightly Show - Not "Just" The Sequel to The Daily

    Personally, I like the 'Keep it 100' segment as it does give it a chance to hold people to difficult questions. I like the fact that the panel segment is less confrontational, the last thing America's political discourse needs is people yelling past each other. I don't think anyone would have...

    There's a picture of the red temptress and the man she bewitched here. http://www.wigantoday.net/news/local/postbox-sex-story-goes-viral-1-7056573

    Fantastic Four Trailer Reveals Radical Re-Imagining

    I was expecting a lot worse. I'm still not optimistic about it, but I hope they prove us all wrong and it's all kinds of awesome. The Fantastic Four really have a lot of potential, so I'd hate to see it wasted.

    Gotham Finds a Sense of Humor

    Maybe I'm just easily pleased, but I've been enjoying all the comic book shows on TV at the moment. All the new ones have been improving (it's a little early to say with Agent Carter, but I'm optimistic) and Shield and Arrow have really been strong this season. As far as Gotham is concerned...

    The Fast and the Trekkiest

    I'm not seeing reasons to be optimistic, but at the same time, I do want to give the guy a chance.

    More Suicide Squad Casting: Will Smith as Captain Boomerang?

    I really want to hear Will Smith try an Aussie accent.

    Secret Convergence Wars: Making Sense of DC's Latest Crossover

    I have mixed feelings about the New 52, some of it has been good, some of it.. not so much. I've been reading DC since the 80s and I would be very happy if they brought that continuity back. I like the idea of the New 52 as an Ultimate universe style spin off, but I don't think it can work, it...

    Fantastic Four Reboot's Doctor Doom Is a Russian Blogger?

    You have to wonder at the mind of someone who looks at how successful Marvel's films have been by drawing heavily from the source material and then says "let's do the opposite of that." The last two films took liberties, this one seems barely recognisable.

    Marvel Teases Return of Spider-Man's Marriage

    Well, I honestly hope this is Marvel finally getting it's act together with Spidey because it feels like they've spent the last decade trying to wreck him. Now if we can only get DC to put Lois and Clark back together...

    Studio Seeks Female Directors For Wonder Woman

    I can disagree with someone on an issue and not take it personally. I appreciate that you've made a sincere and honest argument and made it well. I think if we carry this on though, we'd probably just be going in circles. Better to stop as friends than to drag it on needlessly.

    Studio Seeks Female Directors For Wonder Woman

    I think more is being read into this story than is really there. This is one film. A major one, sure, but still just one. It's not indicative of Warner Bros. changing it's hiring policies or that it will be doing this for other films in the future. All we have here is the desire to have a film...

    Studio Seeks Female Directors For Wonder Woman

    If Warner Bros. were announcing that they were going to be setting targets for hiring women for their films and men need not apply, I might agree with you. If it wasn't for the fact that those numbers I mentioned earlier suggest that film studios are implicitly basing their decisions on gender...

    Studio Seeks Female Directors For Wonder Woman

    In an ideal world you'd be right. In our world, women are massively underrepresented in the key roles behind the camera. In 2013 only 6% of the top 250 films had female directors. Only 16% of directors, writers, cinematographers, executive producers, producers and editors were women. That's not...
