Zombieland TV Show Trailer And First Episode Available

Photo courtesy screenrant.com

There are two ways this is going to go. People will either realize that we are never going to get a Zombieland 2 and accept that this show is the closest thing to it or there will be massive bitching about how the characters don’t look right and you could never replace Woody Harrelson and blah, blah, blah.

Since I think we all know which one of those will prevail I will just go ahead and say that I chuckled a few times watching the trailer. I will give the first episode a try since it is free on Amazon and if I like it, I like it.

Commence the bitching.

WWE To Launch Xbox App To Watch Wrestlemania 29

Photo courtesy wwepredictor.wordpress.com

The WWE is continuing their slow crawl into every avenue of digital media with the release of a WWE app for Xbox 360. Fans will be able to watch this Sunday’s Wrestlemania 29 and every monthly PPV after on the app from your Xbox 360. You will still pay the normal PPV cost of the event, but it is an alternative for people who are without cable.

It is a shame that they are launching the app in front of what may be the weakest built Wrestlemania in years. It is a yearly event for me, but this year has gone so vanilla and by the books that it feels like we may be in for the weakest entry since 2000.

How Would You Die When You Play The Game Of Thrones?

Let’s have a bit of fun before the premiere of Game of Thrones this Sunday night shall we?

The good folks over at Vulture have created a cool little time waster called the Game of Thrones Random Death Generator. Now I have yet to see any like “touching Craster’s daughter, lose your nuts” or “have sex with Sam, die of shame”.

Click here to start your death tour of Westeros.

Classic 1966 Batman Figures On The Way To Shelves From Mattel

All photos courtesy figures.com

Now I am just convinced that someone is after every bit of money I have in my wallet and even the secret stuff like my ass pennies (Google Upright Citizen’s Brigade for explanation). These were revealed back at the 2013 Toy Fair, but now we have some great quality shots of them.

The first series will include two Batman’s (one with Batusi hands and another with radioactive cowl), The Riddler, The Penguin, The Joker and Catwoman. And there is no telling how much they will take from me when the inevitable second and third series come out. God the possibilities!!

Eartha Kitt Catwoman, Julie Newmar Catwoman, Lee Meriweather Catwoman, John Astin Riddler, King Tut, Egghead, Minstrel, Archer!!!

And you can get an exclusive Robin when you buy this two-pack that let’s you recreate Batman and Robins’ rope climb up the buildings of Gotham!

Now I just have to find a Sammy Davis, Jr. figure to stick out of one of the windows and I will never have need for another figure ever again.

New Trailer For Game Of Thrones Season 3

http://youtu.be/R4XSeW4B5Rg

Damn there is too much good TV going right now. We are closing in on the end of The Walking Dead, Vikings is way better than I had thought it would be and Bates Motel premiered last night. Let’s not forget that we are also only a few short weeks away from Season 3 of Game of Thrones.

HBO has released a new trailer with a ton of new footage in it including what I like to call “Brienne and Jaime’s Excellent Adventure”.

Was that bear I saw? Hell yeah it was! Brienne doesn’t care! She takes what she wants!!

Game of Thrones premieres on March 31st.

The Stark’s Go To Dawson’s Creek And Play The Game Of 10 Things I Hate About You

Does Game of Thrones have too much death, tits and incest for your liking? Is your version of drama a good night of One Tree Hill? Then you will definitely want to take a look at School of Thrones, a new web series that has just started on YouTube.

The family warfare mixes with class cliques with very CW-like results. I got a bit of a kick out of it as all the characters were introduced. They were quite clever with matching up the personas well with high school life. Episode 1 is below and Episode 2 will be out on March 17th.

A little tits and incest wouldn’t hurt either.

Greyjoys!!

New Character Posters For Season 3 Of Game Of Thrones

All photos courtesy collider.com

For those of you that have read at least up until A Storm of Swords, then you know just how important the next season (or two if they split the book) is to the Game of Thrones universe. And for those of you that simply watch the show I will not spoil anything sufficed to say, if the first season pissed you off….just get ready.

HBO has released a collection of character posters for the upcoming third season. Tyrion, Arya, Cercei and others are cast in a pale blue light in the posters. May I just ask HBO where are my posters for Brienne and Davos??

Season 3 of Game of Thrones premieres on March 31st.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Pilot Is Filming Now

Joss Whedon and company have begun filming the pilot episode for the S.H.I.E.L.D. television series. Whedon has written the pilot and also began writing multiple episodes even though the series has not been officially picked up yet. ABC Studios is expected to pick it up after the pilot is filmed and screened.

The biggest question on everyone’s minds is how exactly does Agent Phil Coulson figure into the show. Clark Gregg has already confirmed that he is on the show so whether he is shown in flashbacks, cloned, brought back from the dead or any one of a thousand other ways to bring him back is a mystery. I hope they do the Coulson character’s return justice because his death was the emotional catalyst for [amazon_link id=”B0083SBJXS” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Avengers[/amazon_link] and would lose something if he was brought back cheaply, but this is Joss Whedon so I am assuming the best.

Could A Fallout TV Show Be In The Future?

Bethesda filed for a trademark that has people wondering about the possibility of a television show based on their huge series [amazon_link id=”B001REZLY8″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Fallout [/amazon_link]. The application calls for Bethesda to have the rights to the Fallout name for “entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world”.

With the massive success of The Walking Dead, a Fallout series should not be too far out of the realm of possibility. With this trademark Bethesda could have something in the works or simply be covering their bases for all the uses of the Fallout name. Only time will tell.

But if a Fallout series is in the future, you have to get Ron Perlman to be in it it. Right? Just pay him whatever he wants.
