Chronicle sequel greenlit by Fox

Fox has hired Max Landis to write a sequel to Chronicle which was released this past February. Landis also wrote the first film.

I saw Chronicle (http://fort-kick-ass.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-chronicle.html) and while I had mixed feelings about it I was expecting a sequel to surface at some point. The way it ended was a dead giveaway, imo. I won't say I am necessarily jumping with excitement for a Chronicle 2, but I'll probably see it.

More imagery from The Devil's Carnival

Sorry, the image was taken down for some reason.

Ogre's character is called The Twin.

Dimension pulls Halloween 3D from release schedule

Meh... I wasn't looking forward to it anyway.

Venom spin-off in the works

Mind you this is very preliminary, but Columbia Pictures has tapped Chronicle director Josh Trank to direct a Spiderman spin-off featuring none other than Venom, aka Eddie Brock.

Now... I must say that Venom is one of my favorite comic book characters/villains of all time. Despite how much I would love to see this happen in some way I really don't want it to. There is practically no possible way to do a movie about Venom without Spiderman being present in some way.
With that said, maybe this is their way of saying that Venom will be the villain in the next Spiderman featuring Andrew Garfield? If there is another Spiderman with Garfield after The Amazing Spiderman, that is. We all know at this point the villain in The Amazing Spiderman is The Lizard, so maybe there will be a set up for Venom in a future film that will be centered more around the villain rather than Spiderman.

I know what you all are thinking; Spiderman 3 had Venom and it was terrible. Allow me to remind you that not only did Spiderman 3 suck in general but Eddie Brock was completely slaughtered in that movie. Venom shouldn't have even been included... I don't know. We'll just have to see how this plays out.

New laptop... ftw?

I got a call yesterday informing me that it was going to be $400 to fix my laptop.

I said "fuck it" and bought a new one for $100 more. So yeah, I'm back on here regularly... that is until I go on vacation next week. Disneyland, mother fuckers!

Fox cancels Terra Nova

This is why I don't watch a lot of TV. A majority of shows that air are canceled after a season or two. I learned my lesson after Pushing Daisies was canceled.

March 4th's The Walking Dead episode (Spoiler)

So I just need to get this out because I am so heartbroken about what happened tonight.

Why did Dale have to die? Honestly. I don't understand why.
He was probably the best character on the entire show and was a needed character. His struggle to keep the group together and to try and keep humanity alive was amazing to watch and tonight was when you truly felt it. And before it really developed he was taken away.

I don't even know what to feel. I am so upset. RIP Dale... I really wanted you in season 3.

Project X

Go see this movie. I have nothing else to say except that. Go see it.

I haven't laughed this much since I saw Bridesmaids.

AMC spoils the end of The Walking Dead... intentionally?

While advertising the Blu-Ray pre-order of The Walking Dead: Season 2 (to be released in August), AMC made an oops. A big oops. Since the photo got taken down, they basically put the end of season 2 in the synopsis for the pre-order.

SPOILER ALERT
"...Shane's last episode..."
SPOILER ALERT

Way to be, AMC. Way to be. Granted this is my least favorite character and I have wanted it since the finale of Season 1, but I don't appreciate the spoiler. I mean, fuck.

John Carter

Am I the only one that thinks this movie looks retarded? I first saw a trailer for it last summer, I believe, and I didn't think it looked interesting then. After seeing more of the commercials and more trailers I still have the same feelings.
