Marvel And Sony Are Friends With Benefits. Spider-Man Coming To Marvel Movies.
Marvel and Sony have made a deal to bring Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sony will still finance, produce and release the films with Marvel’s Kevin Feige producing. Spidey will first appear in a Marvel movie before getting a new film set for July 18, 2017.
This works out for both parties involved. Sony keeps Spider-Man and gets the push of having him be involved in the MCU that can shit gold. Marvel gets to use its most recognizable character in future Marvel movies, helping Disney further towards their plans of becoming a world-controlling shadow corporation.
My guess is that Spider-Man will appear in Captain America: Civil War because, read a comic. He will be (likely) recast so start your wagers now. If we do get a new Spidey, I do feel for Andrew Garfield who was a great Peter Parker, even though his second movie failed him. He is a lifelong fan and it showed.
To welcome the web-slinger back, Marvel has shifted dates to make room.
Thor: Ragnarok goes from July 28, 2017 to November 3, 2017.
Black Panther goes from November 3, 2017 to July 6, 2018.
Captain Marvel goes from July 6, 2018 to November 2, 2018.
Inhumans goes from November 2, 2018 to July 12, 2019.
On a side note: I would be perfectly fine having Alfred Molina return as Doctor Octopus.

Bayley’s Gonna Hug You. WWE’s Best Current Themes
During the early 2000’s WWE began using their growth from the Attitude Era to branch out and have bands record themes for superstars. Sure, there were some wrestlers who kept their music, mostly done by Jim Johnston, but larger stars such as HHH, Stone Cold, Kane, Undertaker and Edge were given themes by large bands including Rob Zombie, Motorhead and Disturbed.
Over the past couple of years it seems like WWE is going back to “in house” themes for their superstars. Now we still have guys like Randy Orton, HHH and RVD keeping their themes because themes connect to certain superstars and should not change. Jim Johnston still does themes here and there, but most of the newer ones have been passed off to CFO$, a duo that is bringing house themes back while making sure they are just as good as any band.
Here are the best of the current roster.
Kevin Owens
Owens always says he will fight anyone, anywhere. Hearing this as he comes to the ring you know that there a fight is about to happen. Point taken.
Dean Ambrose
I will admit I was not sold on this theme when Ambrose first went solo. Let it be a lesson that first impressions do not always last.
Adam Rose
His character wasn’t given the time to develop enough before he was called up to Raw. Know why? Because his theme is so damn catchy WWE tried to Fandango him into popularity. Stop being lemons, everyone.
Sami Zayn
This theme is Sami Zayn. You here his personality in it, the beat seems to match the way he walks to the ring and even though it sounds nothing like it, a chorus of ole’ chants adds so much.
Bad News Barrett
Any theme that allows the superstar to incorporate their tagline in the music is a bonus.
Titus O’Neil
Here is the catch-22. I don’t like rap music. I like Titus’ theme. I don’t like rap music. I like Titus’ theme. I don’t like rap music…and so on.
http://youtu.be/oIH0THmB7moBaron Corbin
Get past the beginning that sounds like Chuck Palumbo is back and you have yourself a good theme for the silent aggressor.
Paige
Like Kharma before her, Paige’s theme is one you sit up and pay attention to. Having Paige on screen doesn’t hurt either.
Finn Balor
From the buildup at the beginning to the stops in the music allowing Balor to pose like a God, this music completes his WWE transformation.
Sasha Banks
Sasha’s character is an entitled bitch. What do you hear when you listen to this theme? Answer: bingo.
Bayley
Let’s end on a happy note and dammit that is Bayley. Come on. Bring it in. Hugs all around.

WWE Raw Review (Not In Memes) 1/27/15
Since Superstorm Sandy’s bitchier sister dropped her load of “Let It Go” on the northeast, Raw was cancelled for a weather event for the first time ever. It may have been a blessing in disguise.
Anyone who watched the Royal Rumble was expecting more of the same that the Philly crowd started. Three hours of booing the Rumble winner, booing John Cena, cheering Daniel Bryan and a host of chants. I was looking forward to it. Instead we got a show from in-studio with Michael Cole interviewing superstars, JBL giving Jim Cantore reports in the snow and Lawler trying not to eat nuts because, diverticulitis.
If there is one focal point to pay attention to it is the fact that WWE knew how the Royal Rumble looked. No one could avoid it with the backlash getting mentions by every major site including USA Today and Time. You know, the places where they want to be mentioned, but not because of this reason. In response, a genius idea happened.
Enter Paul Heyman.
During the Reigns/Lesnar segment Heyman used the gift God (or Satan) gave him and he used his vocal skills to salvage the main event of WrestleMania. With no audience to take over, Lesnar, Reigns and Heyman were compelling. Did it solve the problems brought out at the Royal Rumble? No. There are too many. It did give hope that this match can be saved by March 29th.
WWE should thank heaven for the snowstorm and hell for Paul Heyman.

Dead Rising Trailer Is Bad. I Want It Now.
http://youtu.be/_z-211gEJOg
We know. Video game movies are bad. Sometimes that works in their favor.
Dead Rising: Watchtower is coming to Crackle and the first trailer is just what you would expect. If you enjoyed Z Nation on SyFy (I did) then this is just your style. Getting Rob Riggle as Frank West and President Palmer in on the action is a good bonus.
I hope there is a scene of steamrolling zombies.
Get your camera ready on March 27th.
