This One Time, On The Internet- March 4, 2014

Movies

The Avengers: Age of Ultron

Seems Scarlett Johansson went and got herself knocked up. She is due this summer and a growing belly does not exactly work with her costume in the Avengers sequel. To make sure they get her scenes in, she will begin filming her parts April 5th and finish as quick as possible so it will not affect the rest of the movie and Ryan Reynolds can cry himself to sleep knowing he is not the father.

Frozen

As popular as the song “Let It Go” is from Frozen, there are some times you just don’t sing the Oscar-winning tune. Here are some examples. Be prepared to laugh (or cry).

TV

Gotham

The series has cast its young Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. David Mazouz will play Bruce and Camren Bicondova is Selina.

Fargo

Here is a new trailer for the FX show based on the Coen Bros. movie. It is pretty much a normal shopping day in Alabama.

First Trailer Game Of Thrones Season 4

So much great stuff awaits us in the fourth season of Game of Thrones. What is left from the latter half of Storm of Swords will make up the season and it is some of the best material in the entire series. We get some great looks at the Battle of Castle Black, Tyrion’s trial, and Lord Oberyn’s battle with Gregor Clegane.

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy, sexy, bloody ride.

Game of Thrones returns on April 6th.

Game Of Thrones Season 4 Premiere Date Set

The picture says it all I suppose.

Are you still reeling from the events of Season 3? Well get ready because that was only half the fun from the third novel, A Storm of Swords. There is way more sex, death, sex, death, betrayal, death and sex to come. Including big deaths for a couple of main characters.

Why would I say something like that? Because every year when Game of Thrones fever comes back I relish making people who have only watched the show squirm. Sorry. If you want to change that, read a book…or go to Wikipedia.

Game Of Thrones Season 3 Home Release Date Set, Vote On Favorite Cover.

For those of you that want to relive the intense heartache that was the third season of Game of Thrones, you will get your chance to next year. HBO has announced that Season 3 will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on February 18, 2014, just over a month before the premiere of Season 4.

To keep you invested while you wait HBO is letting you vote on what exclusive packaging will accompany the set at Best Buy’s nationwide. There are three different sets to choose from including three character covers and two different sets of house sigils. All you have to do is go and like the HBO Facebook page and like which set you want to occupy your shelf space.

Of the three I prefer the character profiles, but if I had my druthers, I would go a different route.

Look below to see, but be warned!

*Spoilers Below*

Do Not Scroll If You Have Not Finished Season 3!!!

Last Warning!

I would like a hologram cover where you turn it from side to side and this happens:

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.

New Character Posters For Season 3 Of Game Of Thrones

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.

Game Of Thrones Beer. You Read That Correctly.

Warning: Drinking Too Much May Cause Incest.

Here is the first look at the bottle for the first of many Game of Thrones inspired beers from Ommegang Brewery. It is called Iron Throne, a blonde ale that is (and I quote) “crafted to directly tie into themes and nuances of the medieval-like fantasy realm of Westeros and the surrounding kingdoms.”

The beer will go on sale next March with a second variety coming next fall.

At $8.50 a bottle you may think it is a bit overpriced but can you really put a price on 25 oz. of feeling like Tyrion Lannister? And by that I mean feel like a complete pimp.

Game Of Thrones Season 3 To Have Longer Episodes

Rejoice Game of Thrones fans! While the wait for the new season of HBO’s hit show may seem like an eternity, today’s news may make the wait a little easier.

David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who write and produce the show, have revealed that episodes for Season 3 will run around 5-6 minutes longer with most being around 56-57 minutes long.

Weiss praised HBO for giving them the time,

“There’s almost another full episode’s worth of extra minutes spread across the season. One of the great liberties with HBO is we’re not forced to come in at a specific time. We can’t be under 50 minutes or over 60, but that gives us a lot of flexibility.”

They have also petitioned the network to have the Season 3 finale run well over an hour. I for one am all for this because as anyone that has read A Storm of Swords will tell you this should be the season when the stuff really hits the fan and they need all the extra time they can get to show it.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO on March 31, 2013.
