Ryan Reynolds has been many things: a guy with a pizza place, a man with a green ring, and, most famously, a Merc with a Mouth. Yeah, that Deadpool guy sure is popular, and probably wouldn't be nearly as entertaining without Reynolds' trademark dryness and brevity of wit. All that fun the lil' red devil exudes isn't fake, however, as the man under the mask has exalted the role as the "greatest gig of my life" in a recent tweet, much to the surprise of almost nobody.
Everyone grab your favorite semi-automatic weapon and hide your dogs, because there's more John Wick stuff on the way! In addition to the third installment of the film series coming out next week - which our very own Matt Donato reviewed already - everyone's favorite beleaguered assassin will be coming to home consoles at some point in the future with John Wick Hex. It comes from the mind of Mike Bithell, creator of Thomas Was Alone, a very successful indie puzzle title from 2012.
There is literally nothing that Bruce Campbell can't do: he's faced down legions of faceless demons, he once outmaneuvered a maniac cop, and heck, he was even slated to be Mysterio and stop Spider-Man before Donnie Darko stepped in. The latest rumor was that his star-making character Ash, of the dearly departed Ash vs Evil Dead TV series and prequel films, would have been a DLC character in the recently released Mortal Kombat 11. A much better choice than the other rumored appearance...
I saw that Avengers: Endgame and you know what? It was pretty good! Yeah, I'll say it. I'll die on this hill, much like the Fantastic Four died fighting Thanos in Gotham City. What a cold open! But, I do have to admit, after twenty-something movies, I cannot say that I'm particularly eager to continue down this well-trodden road. I'm open to more original intellectual properties, pursuing fresh stories, and developing new characters. Basically, what I'm saying is that James Cameron and I are the same person.
There was a simpler time on the internet, back before...the "Sonicontroversy." Does that work? I'm trying to make it a thing. It flows a lot better than having to say a whole spiel about how universally panned the look of Sonic was during the world's first look via that lackluster Sonic the Hedgehog trailer. For six, maybe seven days now, the web has been festooned with disturbing, disgusting, dastardly redesigns of their own, turning the plucky video game character into a Lovecraftian horror. Needless to say, this whole thing was a big deal.
A touching biopic about Earth's mightiest heroes, which goes by the moniker Avengers: Endgame, has been making the rounds in theaters lately, making a pretty penny at the box office in the process. Some people, however, apparently don't wish to give our Disney overlords any more of their hard earned cash. Going around the greedy showbiz goons, a cable network in the Philippines aired, in its entirety, a pirated copy of the MCU's golden child.
People have been clamoring for Star Wars news lately, but this time, it's unwanted: Peter Mayhew, the actor responsible for bringing Chewbacca to life has passed away. A family spokesman has confirmed that the cause of death was a heart attack, according to ABC, after Mayhew's later years had been plagued with health issues, including a spinal surgery last year to improve mobility.
Wow, that Avengers: Endgame had everything. It had action, drama, space flight, Giant-Man punching a flying lizard snake thing, yadda yadda yadda. It also had the first gay character in any of the Marvel movies, too. Yes, this is the first time this sort of representation popped up in the sprawling universe, despite multiple calls for it.
I'm past the point of bashing Zack Synder. While I may be a cheeky lil' bastard sometimes, I'm not cruel. Dude went through something I would never wish on anybody outside of our current governmental leadership. An unfortunate casualty of the terrible circumstances around his departure from Justice League was a lot of the character development Synder and writer Chris Terrio had in the original script. Warner Brothers wanted a lean two hour film, and the final results left many people dissatisfied.
Heh heh heh, whoa man. Pass me that fat ass blunt and buy me a ticket to Long Shot, because, shit duderooski, I gotta support my fellow stoner, brah. Hell yeah, man, Seth Rogen totally, like, likes to blaze it, dude. Not just, like, in Pineapple Express either, Cheech. Like, in real life, duderoonie! Whoaaa!
