   I wanna pimp out two different movies this week.
1)  Lessons Learned http://youtu.be/LQWxN1I-Gbg
You guys know I'm a huge puppet fan. This seemingly low budget Henson inspired piece comes from Toby Froud who is probably best known as the baby Toby in The Labyrinth.

2) Horns http://youtu.be/QSzbtIAhCBU
Now for some reason I can't understand all I can think about when I hear about this movie is the video game Catherine. But this is actually a cool psychological thriller starring Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe 

   Big Hero 6 has a couple of new pics of the heroes within the new Disney/Marvel movie.



  The new Constantine show hasn't even aired yet and it has already lost it's leading lady. Lucy Griffiths has apparently quit the series because the creators want to go in a different direction than she had previously thought.

Destiny is in beta for PS4 owners, and next week for XBone players. Sadly, Dinklege's best line has been cut. That wizard no longer came from the moon :/

A new Fatal Frame (the pS2/Xbox survival horror series where you fight ghosts win your spirit camera...it's way scarier than it sounds) was announced for Wii U, in Japan this fall. No word yet on a western release, but there is a manga and film planned. The film seems to be geared for a western release, which would likely indicate the game will come over too.


Captain Falcon, Lucina, and Robin (avatar character) enter the fray! Old classic and two new Fire Emblem Awakening characters were confirmed. The games lead, Chrom, was omitted due to similarities with Ike and Marth's protagonist style and


The former dictator of Panama, Manuel Noriega, is suing Activision. The level "Suffer With Me," in Black Ops 2, features his likeness. Not nice things are said about him, and his panties are all in a bunch about it.


Fred Durst streamed Call of Duty on Twitch. He made his clan tag CWA: Crackas With Attitude. I don't have anything to add to that, just let it flow.

   From Superman to The Atom. Brandon Routh will join the cast of Arrow as Ray Palmer, the new owner of Queen Consolidating.

   Reddit got hit with an Avengers 2 prank. A leaked picture that showed Andrew Garfield on the A2 set was put on reddit and caused an up roar. The pic is fake... Just dashing my hopes!

   The Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack is like my childhood on disc!

1. Blue Swede – Hooked on a Feeling
2. Raspberries – Go All the Way
3. Norman Greenbaum – Spirit in the Sky
4. David Bowie – Moonage Daydream
5. Elvin Bishop – Fooled Around and Fell in Love
6. 10Cc – I’m Not in Love
7. Jackson 5 – I Want You Back

10. Rupert Holmes – Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
11. The Five Stairsteps – O-O-H Child
12. Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough

   Mark Whalberg may become the six million dollar man. Er uh the six billion dollar man? With inflation...

    In a fit of unoriginality, Disney has hired Ehren Kruger ( the last three transformers movies, scream 3) to write a dumbo remake.

   Kevin Smith is the omnigeek. The indie director not only has a new poster for his new movie, Tusk; but also is in the middle of two scandalous stories involving two different franchises. First , while touring his podcasts around Europe, Mr. Smith was invited to Pinewood studios to visit the Star Wars Ep VII. He couldn't say much but he did gush a bit tweeting a picture of himself with tears in his eyes.

Second, is the now debunked rumor that he wrote a fake BvS script that was "leaked" to the internet.
