Peace in the streets

Netflix released the full season of Luke Cage today....



This looks really good and the reviews have been great.

Can't wait to start watching these over the next couple weeks.

Durwood

I might need to get this T-shirt.

The Magic Returns

The final trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released today....



I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie and taking another dive into the Harry Potter world.

The movie opens on November 18th.

Vote, Honey

At least there was one bright spot yesterday regarding the first Presidential debates...we were surprised with a new "mini-episode" of Will and Grace, focused on the election.



They actually did a really good job recreating the set and getting the cast wrangled on such short notice. They slipped back into character almost seamlessly and it was fun to see them all (even Rosario!) together again after almost 10 years.

Lordy...time flies.

The networks really should think about bringing them all back and creating another season or two.

Yes, please.

People of Earth

This upcoming new TBS show, People of Earth, looks like it might be entertaining...



It's got a good cast and the trailer is pretty funny. Hopefully it'll be worth watching.

We'll soon find out once it premieres on October 31st.

Crash and Smash

If you liked Mad Max: Fury Road...then you'll enjoy this video of some of the action footage without any CGI. Pretty amazing how many dangerous stunts and effects were done with real people involved.



I'm good with my desk job.

Two Fists

Another hilarious Celebrities Read Mean Tweets was aired last night and, like the others...they're very entertaining.



Enjoyable.

Space Cadets

The first trailer for Passengers was just released....



It looks pretty cool and I do like Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence, so I really hope it's good.

We'll find out when the movie opens on December 21st.

The Pitts

Well, this is kinda sad news...

One of Hollywood's highest profile marriages is over. Angelina Jolie has filed for divorce from husband Brad Pitt, citing irreconcilable differences. 

According to the court documents, the pair separated on September 15, two years and one month after they married in August 2014.

While Pitt and Jolie married in 2014 their relationship became the subject of speculation in 2004, when they co-starred in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith." At the time, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston. In January 2005, Pitt and Aniston announced they were splitting and Aniston filed for divorce a few months later.

I thought they usually seemed happy and certainly did a lot of good, not only with their family, but with the various causes they both supported over the years.

However, there are reports that Brad has had an ongoing weed and alcohol issue, so apparently Angelina had become concerned for her kids (she's seeking full custody and wanting him to just be granted visitation rights...so that does say something).

I know there are two sides to every story, so we'll probably never really know what happened between Brad-Jennifer-Angelina.

But, I'm betting that when Jennifer Aniston heard the news, she was all...

Family Affair

The first trailer for the second season of Supergirl was released today...



Looks pretty good so far.

We'll see how well the super-siblings work together when the new season starts on October 10th.

Yes, please

Nocturnal Animals

The first trailer for the critically acclaimed Nocturnal Animals, starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal was released today...



It looks very intense and beautifully shot.

Definitely gonna see this!

The movie opens on November 18th.

Preventative Medicine

I had a few of those "flu shots" last weekend at a bar...so I guess I'm good to go for the winter.

Star Wars VFX

You'll definitely appreciate how amazing the effects were in Star Wars: The Force Awakens after watching this rare "Behind the Magic" video....



Pretty awesome.

Collateral Beauty

The first trailer for Will Smith's Collateral Beauty was released....



It looks exactly like the kind of tear-jerker that I enjoy and, likely, will have me ugly-crying in the theater.

You have all been forewarned.

The movie opens December 16th.

Still Kicking and Stretching

Exactly 50 years ago, today, the very first episode of Star Trek premiered on television and, all these years later, the brand is still growing and going stronger as time moves forward.

From i09...

Star Trek has had many incarnations over the years—there have been six television shows, 726 total episodes, 13 movies, and one reboot—but its primary mission has stayed the same. The result is a series that won countless awards (31 Emmys!) but has also fostered a massive fandom that includes actors, politicians, and more. It’s a show that created and made famous many of the tropes that science fiction uses all the time now. It’s a series so influential that an actual spacecraft was named after the fictional starship Enterprise. Scientists have spent years working to turn the fake technology seen in the series into a reality. 



It seems impossible now, but back in 1966, the original Star Trek was not an easy sell—it had two pilots and a major cast change before going on the air—and it was canceled after three seasons, due to low ratings. But thanks to syndication, a loyal fandom arose, one that has only grown over the last five decades. Now it’s an institution. And it’s an institution that will continue, as the series finally returns to TV next year with Bryan Fuller’s highly anticipated Star Trek: Discovery.

Happy Anniversary, Star Trek!!



May you still be as popular (and flexible) over the next 50 years.

Live Long and Prosper.

Vampire Vixen

The first trailer for Underworld: Blood Wars was released today....



It looks like the others....lots of shiny vampires and sultry Kate Beckinsale kicking hairy Werewolf ass.

The movie opens in January.

True Story

Rock'em Sock'em

The first full trailer for HBO's Westworld series was released this week...

I'm in!

The series begins on October 2nd.

Little Buddies

The first trailer for Christopher Guest's, Mascots, was released today...



If this is anywhere near as entertaining as Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show...it's gonna be a HOOT!

The movie will be released on Netflix on October 13th.
