Heh. Yeah right.

Movies

  • The first image of Wolverine from the upcoming movie has been released:...arm veins
  • The Mummy is getting rebooted.
  • A better look of Thanos from the end of The Avengers can be found here, because let’s face it…we’ve already watched our new DVDs a billion times by now!

Music

  • “Hello, goodbye, ’twas nice to know you…”: Jon Sprague, aka The Jon, is no longer a part of robot band Steam Powered Giraffe.

Web series

  • The BAMF Girls Club, a series about some of pop culture’s favourite heroines (and Bella Swan) living in the same house, promises to create two new seasons if they can raise $39000.

    Hugh Jackman’s veins are scaring me a little bit. That can’t be healthy; if he so much as gets a papercut he’s gonna bleed out all over the place.

  • Tiffany Morris

    Hugh Jackman with Iggy Pop veins is still crazy hot. I don’t know how to feel.

    Matthew McFadyen in a Jack the Ripper costume drama? SOLD.

    Also, people need to leave The Mummy alone. :(

      Agree, and I just saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago! How could you hope to touch such perfection?

      (Answer: they can’t, but it’s cheaper than shooting an original script, so them’s the breaks)
