Andrew Garfield returns as Spiderman on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Andrew Garfield was, to me, by far the best Spiderman, so obviously I was very upset when I learned that he would no longer be the web slinging, cocky hero he so artfully portrayed. But it seems he is not yet ready to hang up the Spidey suite just yet.

Last night on Jimmy Kimmel live, the wonderful Mr. Garfield, while promoting his new movie, pulled off a few more stunts for the people, showing that he deserves and is the best Spiderman out there.

During the interview on Jimmy Kimmel, the hero was asked when the suit was last worn. “It was last night,” responded Garfield, “No two nights ago, while brushing my teeth. Just a ritual, keeping the flame burning as long as I possibly can.” ^_^

Muppet Babies coming back to TV

I remember loving this show. Muppet Babies first aired in 1984 and lasted until about 1991, with a total of 8 seasons and 107 episodes! Now being a kid who just loved everything Muppets, from the Muppet show to Fraggle Rock, this was something I adored watching. And now it looks like they will be rebooting the beloved cartoon on Disney Channel. I totally support this being a child of Disney myself.

The show was originally about baby versions of the Muppets living together in a nursery and having all sorts of fun with their imaginations and each other. I remember I would watch the show then run to my room and try to have as much fun as they did pretending to be pirates or whatever they thought of that day of the show. (Ah to be little again..)

*Quick side note, did you know that the production companies in charge of the Muppet babies in the 80’s were both Jim Henson and Marvel productions? Just thought that little bit of knowledge was cool.*

It has come to light that the show will be brought to Disney Jr. in 2018 and CG animated for that matter. “We hope to engage and delight the nostalgic fans while also entertaining new kids, parents and diverse audiences through heart and humor as only the Muppets can deliver.” Says Debbie McClean, vice president of the Muppets Studio.

Well, hopefully this lasts longer than the Muppet Show reboot did. That unfortunately lasted for one season and was cancelled. It seems bad luck to try and redo what was already perfect the way it was. So far, most reboots I have seen don’t make it, keeping my fingers crossed for this one to last a little longer than the others. ^_^

Doctor Who review: The Survivors; William Hartnell years

 

Welcome Back!!

 

When we last left off, Barbara had just run into some creatures with a very distinctive antenna.

 

Ian, Barbara and The Doctor found the hidden door and are making their way inside. As they glance at the scenery, “Barbara, Barbara,” Ian calls, but no response. “There is a corridor over here,” Susan points out, glancing down a long metal hallway. Ian runs over, “Better see where it goes to.” “Wait Listen,” halts the Doctor. “But I don’t hear anything” observes Susan. “No wait listen,” repeats the Doctor. They silently hear some sort of clicking. They follow the noise to another door and go in. “Awe there we go,” states Ian, “we are bound to find some mercury here.” They search through the room. The doctor finds measuring equipment. They wonder what kind of intelligent creatures are using this equipment and what for. Susan finds a box that is measuring the outside atmosphere, and sees that the needle is past the danger point. “Yes, yes, this explains everything,” exclaims the doctor. “The creature turned to stone, the beran soil, petrified wood.,” “Radiation sickness?” Asks Ian, “Yes, yes, yes, we have been walking around in it, completely unprotected” announces the Doctor. “What?” Surprised Ian asks, “How do you explain the building, they are in tact.” “Neutron bomb. Yes, it destroys all human tissues but leave all the buildings and machinery in tact.” Announces the Doctor. “How much radiation? How badly?” asks Ian. “We need, we need drugs, the doctor points out.” “But where are we going to find them?” cries out Ian. “The TARDIS will have to take us to another time and place where we can find a cure,” states Susan. “Don’t you remember?” states Ian annoyed, “We can’t move the ship until we find the mercury for the fluid link.” “Yes for the fluid link,” the Doctor starts, “I may have cheated on that. I was determined to see the city, but everybody wanted to go on, well to avoid arguments, in short, there is nothing wrong with the fluid link,” Admits the Doctor as he hands the piece over to Ian. “What?” asks Susan, bewildered, “Grandfather you mean to tell us you risked leaving the ship just to see this place?” “You fool, you old fool!” Yells Ian, extremely upset with the Doctor. “Abuse me as much as you like the justice. The point is, we need an immediate return to the ship I suggest we leave at once.” States the doctor, getting weaker by the minute. “We are not leaving until we found Barbara.” Ian states very annoyed, “Very well,” continues the doctor, “you may stay and search for her if you wish, but Susan and I are going back to the ship. Now come along child.” “Alright, carry on fine, but just how far do you think you will get without this?” asks Ian as he hold up the piece of the TARDIS that the doctor had handed him earlier, “Give it to me.” Demands the Doctor. “Not until we found Barbara.” Says Ian. “Give it to me!” Yells the Doctor “No, its time you faced up to your responsibilities, you brought us here, now I am going to make sure you get us back,” States Ian. The Doctor starts to respond but Ian interrupts, “We are wasting time, we should be looking for Barbara.” “He is right grandfather,” Susan states “we are wasting time.” “Oh child,” the doctor exasperated continues “if only you would think like an adult, sometimes I think…” He is too weary to continue arguing. He reluctantly agrees to continue on. They then walk through the door and are met with a surprise that causes Susan to shriek out and cower into her grandfathers arms. The Doctor pulls her in protectively; he too looks a bit on the shocked side along with Ian. They are surrounded by big metal beings with plunger arms and a single antenna for an eye. Their bodies covered in smaller spheres that look like polka dots… If you don’t know what or who I am describing by now… The first encounter with the DALEKS!!!! And the first time we get to hear them speak! That wonderful robotic voice… though a little hard to understand…

“You will go in front of us and follow our directions” orders the first Dalek. “This way.” It continues as it turns around to lead them on. The Doctor and Susan start to follow along but Ian has other plans. He stalls for a moment, “Immediately!” orders the Dalek, but Ian decides to run. “STOP!” yells the Dalek, as he shoots Ian with a ray that causes him to fall to the ground. “My legs!, My legs!” exclaims Ian, unable to move them. Susan starts to run to his side but the Daleks wont allow this. The Other Dalek comes to Ian “Your legs are paralyzed, you will recover shortly unless you force us to use our weapons again, in that case, the condition will become permanent. You two help him.” The Dalek then points to The Doctor and Susan who rush to Ian’s aid. “My legs! MY LEGS!” Ian cries out again. “I can’t use my legs.”

 

We find Barbara in a cell now, alone with her head in her hands. “Stop here,” the Dalek voice calls out from behind a door. It opens as Barbara stands. The Doctor and the other two companions are ushered inside. They are all happy to see each other with big hugs all around. Barbara is concerned with Ian’s current states yet he assures her he is fine. They help Ian to a bench against the wall, “How are you Barbara?” Asks Ian, “We tried to look for you then those machines caught us.” “They caught me is some sort of lift. Seemed to go down for ages.” Barbara responded. “Did they hurt you?” Asked Ian concerned. “Ian what are they?” Barbara asks, not paying attention to the previous question. They both ponder the earlier happenings, trying to figure out where or what the robotic aliens are. “Do you think there are beings inside?” Asks Barbara. Susan giggles, which surprises Barbara. “We haven’t any idea what’s inside.” Ian states. Barbara continues, “I was trying to figure out a way to escape, but I feel so weak and giddy inside. I think they drugged me or something,” “It’s not that,” Ian confesses, “Barbara we have radiation sickness, all of us. The doctor is pretty badly hit” The camera pans to the doctor, who lies against the wall, looking worse than the rest. “Well how do you know its radiation?” Asks Barbara. “We found a guiding counter,” states Susan “It seems that all the time we have been in here, we have been exposed to it.” Ian confirms. “ Well what s going to happen to us?” Asks Barbara sounding more alarmed. “Unless we get treatment, we shall die.” Responds the very weak Doctor. The heroes now look at each other, worried for their lives.

 

The Dalek’s are watching the monitor that has our heroes on screen. “Bring in the old man prisoner. 200 days ago the radiation read 93” Starts the first Dalek ”It is now 58, an impressive reduction.” States the other Dalek. “It is still enough to destroy. Our prisoners are showing preliminary stages of sickness already.’ Informs the first Dalek “We know the plants are able to live on this earthment.” The Dalek’s continue on discussing the radiation on the planet for a bit longer (I was having a hard time understanding what they were saying here so I am cutting this short. Sorry guys)

 

The Daleks then turn as the door on the side opens and the Doctor is being herded through by a third Dalek. “Do not move out of the light, sit on the floor. You are the one of the Sow people. Why are you suffering form radiation?” Starts the first Dalek “Why? Because we were not aware of it until it was to late.” Responds the very weak Doctor. “No, that is not true… Your supply of drugs ran out, so you came into the city to see if you could find more.’ Insists the first Dalek “No no, no, what are you talking about?’ Asks the Doctor. “You and your companions need a drug to stay alive” responds the first Dalek. “We have no drugs…” the Doctor argues “Drugs , drugs, drugs stayed outside the TARDIS…’ the doctor quietly tells himself. ‘TARDIS, he is becoming delirious. I do not understand his words.” The Dalek continues. The Doctor stands up but is warned to stay in the light. He tries to bargain with the Daleks to come with him to the forest, where the TARDIS is, and find the ‘drugs’ that was there and bring it back to the metal heads. Unfortunately, the Daleks cannot move outside the city, but the Doctor then bargains that one of captors leave while the others stay imprisoned. ”Providing whoever leaves understands that the others will stay until the one return” Informs one of the Daleks “He will have our lives in his hands. That is enough” The Doctor responds, sounding proud of the human for a second. The Daleks agree to the plan. The Doctor then inquires about the races who inhabited the planet before. The Daleks tell the story of the Sows and the Daleks who inhabited the planet. There was a war, but it seems the Daleks were victorious. There were some survivors of the Sows but they were hideously mangled. “And knowing there are these creatures outside the city, you are willing to send one of us out there into the forest!?’ The Doctor exclaims. “All your lives depend on it” Responds the Dalek.

 

The ladies and Ian are walking around the cell, trying to help Ian regain his leg strength. This is not working to well. They have him rest against a wall. Barbara is not feeling well. Then the door opens and Doctor comes in. Susan rushes to him with a big hug. The doctor tells them of the plan hatched with the Daleks. Ian is ready to complete the mission but is warned of the creatures outside the city. The Doctor also informs them of the quick history. Susan realizes that the Doctor is burning up; Ian decides its time to get the mission moving. Susan insists on going with him, afraid that he may jam the lock on the TARDIS. She explains that the blue box has a defense mechanism that if he should put the key in the wrong lock the TARDIS will jam. A Dalek comes in insisting that Ian leaves now, but he is unable to walk. Barbara tries to stand but she is immediately dizzy… the plan now falls on young Susan, she is not as effected as the others, but she is terrified. Ian gives her a pep talk, she then stands and she reluctantly follows the Dalek out. Barbara is worried that they sent Susan out to a forest of mutants.

 

The Daleks are talking about the prisoner they have sent out to the forest. They are going to keep an eye on Susan in case she attempts to make contact with the Sows race.

 

Ian and Barbara are concerned. The Doctor is so weak now, and Susan is all alone in the forest. They don’t know what to do but are trying to figure something out.

 

Susan is running through the dark forest. There is a storm with lightning and thunder crashing around her as she hurries on her way. She is unaware that she is being followed. She runs and runs, and trips. She is frightened by the storm and her surroundings.

 

Back to the Doctor now, the heroes are getting more and more sick. Ian is now standing, and in shock that he can walk again. He slowly walks to the door. ‘Hurry Susan, hurry Susan.’

 

Susan is running again through the forest, afraid and crying. (The running sequence in these episodes are hilarious, it’s all close up of faces and camera panning from side to side. Love the 60s filmography!)

 

The Daleks are talking again, ‘The old man is dying.” The first Dalek confirms.

 

Susan has made it back to the TARDIS. She stumbles inside, happy she made it safely. She picks up the metal box that was found outside the TARDIS earlier. She hugs it to her, thinking of the Ian’s advise to return quickly. “I must, I must go.” She turns to the TARDIS doors and starts to leave.

 

Next chapter: The Escape ^_^

Fan creates Sonic game called Sonic Utopia

Showcased at SAGE (Sonic Amateur Games Expo) the other day, a fan named Jordan Lange and his co-developers Murasaki Fox, Tpot and Pixy have created a game called Sonic Utopia.

Now if you don’t know what SAGE is, it’s a place where amateur developers can go and show off their versions of the Sonic games. Sometimes they hit it big like this fan did. It’s crazy to think that Sonic has such a huge following they have a whole expo dedicated to his games and allowing those who worship the speedy blue ball to show off their creations. Jordan Lange was announced at this last one for his amazing work on his version of the reflex packed game. I have linked the trailer below. You see how beautiful and vibrant it is, along with the 3D effect it takes on, panning from side to back views while Sonic is in motion.

This game is not out for download yet but it seems we shouldn’t have to wait for to long before one is available. Please enjoy the video below and tell me what you think. ^_^

 

Krampus Screenwriters to tackle Godzilla 2

It seems that Legendary films is stocking up their team for the workings of Godzilla 2. They are taking on some powerful writers such as Michael Doughtery and Zach Shields for this project.

Doughtery is known for his hand in such movies as Krampus, X-Men 2, X-men: Apocalypse and Superman Returns. This man has done some fantastic work and I am sure will do a wonderful job in the Godzilla universe. Though it may be some time before we see Godzilla 2 hit the movies theaters, it seems that Legendary films are bulking up to make this movie one for the history books. And further more, they are getting a writers room to help with development of their Godzilla vs. King Kong movie to come out in 2020. (That is fantastic!!)

If you have not seen the Krampus movie yet, do yourself a favor and go rent it now. That movie is awesome. If you don’t like scary movies, don’t worry; the creep factor is actually low in this one. It’s more funny than creepy, (and trust me, I don’t do creepy well.) ^_^

Red Dead Redemption teaser trailer!

Can I just say this was beautifully done. The graphics are amazing; the details in each scene are perfect. It just sucks you in really. From the opening scenes where its all serene and peaceful with sunrises, fields and the details of the mountains to the buffalo’s running in the range next to the train passing by, absolutely stunning. This game will be very visually stimulating for sure. Can’t wait for it to come out!! Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did. ^_^

 

Leonardo DeCaprio looking to bring Captain Planet to the big screen

“Earth!” “Fire!” “Wind!” “Water!” “Heart!” “By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!” GO PLANET!!! Not something I though I would ever hear again in this century, but it may come back again. (Like bell-bottoms)

 

It seems that our Leonardo DeCaprio and Paramount pictures are working to bring the environmental awareness cartoon to the big screens in a live action movie. And further more, Scream Queens star Glen Powell may be a face among the heroes. Now I am all for revamping classics (which is what my son calls them,) But this one, I think, should have stayed in the past. I don’t see how they can make it into a movie people are going to want to see unless they are 80/90s babies like I am.

 

The story is supposed to leave off years after the cartoon series, where we find Captain Planet all washed up and in need of the Planeteers now more than ever… I wonder if they will turn this into a comedy… That could be cool. Have you seen the Captain Planet Parody on Youtube with Don Cheadle’s? If not I will link it below.

 

Tell me your thoughts on the Captain Planet movie. Would you go see it should this come to pass? Or do you think this one should stay in the past where it was left? Let me know ^_^

 

Watch Artist Jim Lee draw Wonder Woman in a timelapse video!

Below is a video of Jim Lee beautifully drawing Wonder Woman. He talks through out the time laps about him and his work, how it feels to draw her and what he is trying to portray. He states, “The most important thing when drawing a character, especially like Wonder Woman who is so iconic, so well known, is really capturing the emotional state of the character. Trying to represent visually the things that she stands for, power, equality, strength..” Which he does so masterfully in this video. He goes on to talk about how long it takes for him to draw these characters, and how it becomes like a signature after sometime.

 

You can watch this and other videos of his on Youtube, like him drawing the Joker as well. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did. Though drawing was not my thing, I can see my daughter becoming like this amazing artist here. I can’t wait to show her this video. ^_^

 

 

Friends star Matthey Perry reveals Batman room… And is Batman?

“I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour…” I can’t help but to think of that song when hearing the name Friends or Matthew Perry, (he was my fav friend.) But never imagined him to be huge Batman nerd… Sweet!

 

While on the Jimmy Kimmel show, the Friends legend confirmed to having a room dedicated to the Dark Knight. “That’s true, I’ve had the Batman room, sir, for about 3years-4 years. ….It’s like the Christian Bale version. I got really into that.” He continues “and I’m an insomniac so I get up in the middle of the night, get on Ebay and buy all this Batman stuff and just throw it in a room…but I want to point out, it’s not dorky…it’s sexy.” They also reveal a picture of what the room looks like, which I have to agree, it is sexy….If you’re into Batman (Superman girl here). Matthew later reveals, after discussing some of the collectibles in the room, (Batman crayons,) that he is Batman! This is the reason for the Batman shrine. It all makes sense now!

 

You can watch the interview below here in the link and enjoy it as much as I did. ^_^

 

Scarlett Johansson talks about what she would like in Black Widow movie

Though its not for sure that this will happen, the starlet Scarlett has recently revealed her ideas about what she would like to see should there be a Black Widow movie.

 

“I would like for it to happen under the right circumstances. I think there’s a lot of opportunity to mine the story line. She’s got a really rich origins story. There’s a lot of places you can go- you can bring it back to Russia, you could explore the widow program. There’s all kinds of stuff that you could do with it. You could really uncover the identity of who this person is, where she comes from and where she’s part of.”

 

She has a point, there is so much that could be done with a film like Widows. Though I don’t know how well I could handle the scenes that may take place should they do the back-story of her, like when she was in the Widow Program, but the movie could be pretty fantastic for sure. And honestly, they should do a movie on her; she has been with the team since Iron Man 2 when she made her debut. It’s only fair, I feel, that they give her more back-story in her own movie.

“I think if the fans wanted it enough, then it would probably become a reality. I talked to them (Marvel) about it often. It would have to fit in the idea of where they want to go. I’m invested in that character. Marvel is greatly invested in that character. If I did it, I’d have to do it while I still actually wanted to wear a skin-tight catsuit. I don’t know how much longer that’s going to be.”

 There is another reason why we got to get this movie moving… That outfit she wears is amazing, and girl I feel ya. Keeping a body like that to wear something so tight takes a lot of hard work and dedication for sure. And lets face it, that’s not a life style that we want to live 24-7 just for one outfit. I myself work out every day at 4 am, which is tough at times, but I can’t imagine what she has to do for that kind of body.

Well there you have it, the thoughts of the beautiful Scarlett Johansson on her Black Widow movie, should it come to pass. ^_^
