Netflix has caved to bullying from Comcast to pay for better streaming quality to homes that use a Comcast ISP. Comcast also got Netflix's lunch money and got sexual slurs written on their forehead.

So in a no shit moment, it has been announced the Ghostbusters 3 will have to be reworked after the passing of Harold Ramis... Or out of respect for the co-writer of the series, they could (I dunno) scrap the project entirely? Seriously besides Ryan and myself who can name the black ghostbuster? And realize that now there would be only 2 in the movie

Matt Ryan will be Constantine. Yes Matty Ice of the Atlanta Falcons...wait never mind it's a welsh dude with the same name... Well at least he's from the right part of the world.

Heroes: Reborn, a 13 part miniseries based on the characters from the failed series, Heroes, has been announced for 2015. Yaataa?

Michael B Jordan has been confirmed for Johnny Storm in the fantastic four reboot. Which I only have a problem with if they make the Storms a married couple (like is the rumor) or if Johnny or Sue aren't adopted.

Space Jam 2...j/k

Gaming Corner
Persona 5 headed westward with three persona 4 sequels...

The Turnbuckle
As predicted Orton won at Elimination chamber but Daniel Bryan is gaining more momentum in his yes movement.

Juno Ellen Page is gay? Recently she has stated that she is gay and is not "hiding in fear" any more... Fear of what still remains to be seen.

Well Michael Keaton has stated that he would return to the long dead franchise (no pun intended) Beetlejuice! But only if Tim Burton is on board as well.

Trailer Talk; The first Guardians of The Galaxy trailer!

James Cameron has stated that he's still very early in the production of the avatar sequels. Which mean pandora is still a ways away.

What If...

Will Smith will not be in any Independence Day sequels. Probably because a lot of us don't think that there should be sequels to that film.

The Transporter series is getting 3 more movies but as with Independence Day, The Transporter sequels will be missing a main actor as Jason Statham will not be returning as the title character.

Vision has been announced as a character for Avengers: Age of Ultron, with Paul Bettany playing the Android. Bettany is also the voice of J.A.R.V.I.S., Tony Stark's butler computer program.

Wow so weird, Travolta will be playing the lead in a CGI gummy bear movie... Lets listen to that stupid gummy bear song!

Gotham has it's Gordon. Ben Mckenzie, an actor from The O.C. Will be playing a young Jim Gordon. Oh and The Penguin and Alfred were cast as well with Robert Lord Taylor playing Oswald Cobblepot and Sean Pertwee as Bruce Wayne's caretaker Alfred.

Go fuck off Sony!! Stahp making CGI movies based on games! I mean I know you've had a great success with The Lego Movie but that doesn't mean you'll strike gold twice.

The Internet exploded once again around a casting choice on the Man of Steel sequel. Jesse Eisenberg will be planning Lex Luthor in the movie. Though in better news, Jeremy Irons will be playing Alfred.

There were a couple of awesome trailers shown at that big football thingy that happened Sunday. Lets talk about Transformers: Extinction!

About three months ago, just before Dwayne "The Rock" announced he was working on a secret DC project, he wrote:

Known this beast since he was 15. I was on the football field playing for Miami, he was leading the Hurricanes marching band as Drum Major. He spent years of working on my WWE story lines & Rock monologues. Then years of being on every movie set with me learning the film business from top to bottom. Today, he's one of the best and most sought after producers in Hollywood. Brilliant, relentless and one big motherf*cker! Proud of you brother & thank you for all the hard work. #ProducerHiram #TeamRock #JohnStewartCanStillWhupSupermansAss

Notice that last part? Well apparently a bunch of people and news sources are reporting that this may be The Rock saying he's playing John Stewart in an upcoming Green Lantern film... Possibly Man of Steel 2.

Uncharted, the video game is getting a movie and has Identity Thief's director Seth Gordon on board.

Jurassic World has started production and the director has posted a picture of the production office, which included a cardboard cut out of a shirtless Ian Macolm (Jeff Goldblum) from the original Jurassic Park.
