    Here are some quick hits in the world of movies, TV, games, Halloween costumes, French-Canadian affairs, whatever catches our fancy.

    Movies

    The Amazing Spider-Man 2

    If you love Paul Giamatti, don’t expect too much of him in the next Spider-Man releasing next month. Director Marc Webb has said that Rhino will only appear in the sequel for four minutes. His character is in the planned third movie also so just watch Sideways a lot until it comes out in 2016.

    TV

    Cosmos

    Want to see why we need more programs like Cosmos on the air? Take a look at this.

    Game of Thrones

    Here is a new trailer for the new season of Game of Thrones which returns April 6th. Plan your parties accordingly.

    Constantine

    Will Constantine be a smoker on his new show? Writer and producer, David S. Goyer, gives an “answer”:

    “That’s a tricky one on network TV. We’re negotiating right now. He will have his signature trench coat and skinny tie. I would say that the show clings more closely to the source material than the film did. Even though the film was interesting.”

    Tricky my ass. That is one of the character’s main crutches. That would be like the CW pitching Arrow and saying he only shoots Nerf arrows at enemies because real ones hurt.

    The Talking Dead

    CM Punk will be making his first public appearance since leaving WWE in January on this Sunday’s The Talking Dead. He was announced using his real name, Phil Brooks, on last night’s episode.

    Games

    Gone Home

    The popular PC game will be making its way to consoles in 2014. This excites me almost as much as Titanfall tomorrow. That is saying something.

    Titanfall

    The game will run at 792p resolution when it launches tomorrow. If this concerns you, go crawl in a hole and stay there. Absolutely zero fucks should be given if the game is fun.

    It may seem like Guillermo Del Toro has 65 projects going at once, but you would be wrong. It is closer to 80. Now the producer and director has given an update on his Dark Universe movie which will team up Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Deadman and more in a supernatural team-up film. In an interview with Total Film Del Toro had this to say:

    “I am going to be presenting my storyline to DC and Warners of where I want to take this universe. We do have a writer, but until that is firmed up, I have to keep it a secret. I hope it happens. It’s going really really well. It’s like meeting old friends. I grew up with Demon Etrigan, with Swamp Thing, with Deadman, so these are characters that are near and dear to my heart. I’d love to use the origins that are proper to each character. I love the idea of Jason Blood as a paladin and a knight…. I love the entire Constantine mythology, the Dead Man mythology, the Alex Holland Swamp Thing mythology. These are really rich things to well, and to dig.”

    OK fans of any of these characters you should really be hoping that Del Toro’s big summer flick Pacific Rim is a monstrous hit because this is going to be a hard sell for any director, but a big summer blockbuster may help Del Toro get into the minds of the Warner execs to give this movie a shot.
