  • A Lannister Always Watches The Olympics. The BBC Olympics Ad Reigns From On High

    OK NBC, what you got? No, no we have heard John Williams for about 20 years. You got to come harder than that if you are going to beat the BBC’s commercial for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. They have Tywin Lannister himself, Charles Dance, narrating the proceedings as athletes make their way up a frozen mountain.

    Well played.

    The 2014 Winter Olympics begin on February 7th.

  • Peter Capaldi Is The 12th Doctor

    untitled

    The wait is finally over and the 12th Doctor will be Peter Capaldi.

    The 55-year old actor will be taking over for Matt Smith whose last appearance will be in the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Capaldi certainly is a departure from the previous few Doctors, but a welcome one. A little less rock star and a little more gravitas. Capaldi was most recently seen in this summer’s World War Z and starred in the BBC comedy series The Thick of It.

    What do you think Who fans? Are you excited about the 12th Doctor?

    The wait is almost over Doctor Who fans. This Sunday BBC will air a live special announcing who will be taking the place of exiting 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Smith will be joined by series showrunner Steven Moffat for the announcement of the man or woman who will take over the role.

    Quick question:

    If David Tennant is announced to be returning to the role will people be?

    A. Excited.

    B. Disappointed that it is not a new actor.

    C. Wonder why there has not been a female Doctor yet?

    Doctor Who Live: The Next Doctor will air Sunday, August 4th at 7PM GMT in the U.K. and BBC America will show the announcement live at 2PM EST.

    Here are my quick fire guesses…GO!

    Naughty Dog has started to release developer videos leading up to the June release of The Last of Us.

    The first is titled “Hush” and focuses on the development process that went into creating the infected citizens. Not wanting to make them simply zombies, they took their inspiration from the fungal plants they saw on the BBC documentary Planet Earth and wondered what would happen if the fungus spread to humans.

    Naughty Dog has something special looking on their hands as many have seen since E3 a few years ago.

    [amazon_link id=”B007CM0K86″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Last of Us[/amazon_link] releases on June 14th.
