Peter O'Toole, 81, Irish-born British actor (Lawrence of Arabia, The Lion in Winter, Troy). Little known fact about Mr. O'Toole: a woman by the name of Ruth Byrne taught him how to bowl. Ruth Byrne is Ted's Wife's Grandmother who unfortunately also deceased.

Joan Fontaine, 96, British-American Oscar-winning actress (Rebecca, Suspicion), natural causes.

Harold Camping, 92, American evangelist and doomsday predictor.

What If...

Movierama
Spidey spinoffs have been announced. With "Sinister Six" and "Venom" with Drew Goddard attached to Six to write and direct... What Whedon's best director friend is doing 2 Marvel projects?

We're going to take this as pure rumor... Ready?... The in development hell Neil Gaiman book Sandman may finally get a movie because JGL is in talks to star and possibly direct the film version. Like I said this is a rumor.

So who thought they should make a Gilligan's Island remake? Don't worry we won't hurt you or anything... The guilt of knowing that you want a big budget film remake that is actually going to happen should consume you and force your hand on it's own.

Studio Ghibli has announced it's first outing in a post Miyazaki world. Haoyo Miyazaki (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Ponyo) had announced his retirement from directing earlier this year stating that THE WIND RISES would be his last film. Studio Ghibli has decided that they will not retire with the acclaimed director and release WHEN MARNIE WAS THERE next year.

2 movies that haven't aged as well as their stars are getting sequels because Hollywood is really out of ideas. So we'll be getting sequels of SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE and ROUNDERS.

 Someone offer this man a job! A minecrafter player constructed a functional (in-game, let's not get creepy) 3D printer. http://kotaku.com/guy-creates-massive-working-3d-printer-in-minecraft-1485800840 South park: Stick Of Truth's Australian release has to censor the alien anal probe scene. Even under Australia's new Adults Only rating, their board was concerned that the probes look like penises, the scene features minors, and is interactive. Developer Obsidian has removed the scene entirely. It's been replaced by text descriptions, including "aliens forcibly probe your rectum with a dildo-shaped probe", "probe his ass with violent force" and "causing his anal probe to penetrate him over and over". This is all set to a back drop of a Koala crying. Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony Computer Entertainment's Worldwide Studios seems like a pretty cool dude. When asked by an audience member on a recent TV appearance about rival Nintendo's poor sales, he praised Mario 3D World and claimed to own two Wii U's. "People can get together and enjoy [the Wii U], it's got plenty of wonderful games." Yoshida said. "Nintendo helps raise and teaches the fun of games to people just starting out. I think that's a very important thing in this industry." So Nintendo had a Nintendo Direct, among other announcements. Most notable: -3DS and Wii U eshop in japan confirmed to be getting PC Engine (i.e. Turbografx 16) and MSX support. So far, Gradius and Parodius are confirmed. No word on when they will reach North America - Dr. Luigi. Not sure what else to say here. - Hyrule Warriors. Dynasty Warriors gameplay in the Zelda world. Not that odd- the setting fits the playstyle, and they did put out a bunch of these featuring freaking Gundams. -Kirby confirmed for Mario Kart 8. Rosalina and Luma confirmed for Smash. No, I don't know who they are. -Announced Mario 3 for both Wii U and 3DS on the 26th...for Europe. No confirmation on North America, yet. Nor Zelda 3. Screw them.

   Lets start with the news that broke last week during the podcast. Bryan Singer has let leak that X-Mem: Apocalypse will be released in 2016. Singer will direct once again.

   What is Gotham without Bruce Wayne? Said a fox executive apparently. So now a young Wayne will play an important role in the stories of the GCPD and Detective Gordon.

   From Gotham to Metropolis, some more news about Batman Vs. Superman. Apparently Ben Affleck has something in his contract that says the bad guy in any comic book movie he does has to be black. A new rumor says that WB is looking for a black Lex Luthor, with Denzel on the short list.

   Lets bring back Trailer Talk again with Godzilla! Probably my guilty pleasure for next year.
