Kids Have It Too Easy Today

While writing the article about the Game Boy's 25th anniversary, I went off on a small tangent about how kids today can't appreciate things like video games. And after I finished the post I sat back in my chair and realized, kids today have it way too easy.

I spend a lot of time playing games online late at night. Almost every night. And I gotta say a good 80% of the squeaky voiced gamers are pretty much assholes. I see it everywhere. In grocery stores, malls, all over. Kids today are crazy annoying, and I think I know why. They have it way too easy. They don't have to work for a single thing. I don't mean getting a job, I mean having to go through the tougher things in life like my generation did just about 15 years or so ago. Like having access to porn.

Justice League movie confirmed to follow Batman Vs. Superman!

In news that should come as no surprise, Warner Bros. Announced today that Zack Snyder, the man behind Man of Steel and the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman, will also director Justice League. This could be amazing, or awful. It's kind of a sink or swim approach but I will hold off judgement until Bats Vs. Supes is out. Which I can't wait for!

No release date has been announced but with Batman Vs. Superman coming out in 2016 it's a good bet that 2018 we will see the arrival of Justice League. Along with Batman and Superman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg are confirmed for Batman Vs. Superman but will we see some other heroes pop up as well? Flash? Aquaman? Green Arrow?

Add Cyborg to the list of characters in Batman Vs. Superman!

Variety announced today that stage actor Ray Fisher has landed the part of Cyborg for the upcoming Batman Vs. Superman movie. That now has those three along with Wonder Woman appearing in the movie together. Pretty awesome news, wouldn't you agree?


Here's your first look at Jem and the Holograms. The movie.

Jon M. Chu, the director of such cinema classics like, Step Up 2: The Streets, Step Up 3D, and 2 documentaries about Justin Bieber, is bringing us Jem and the Holograms.

I never really watched too much of the cartoon in the 80's. Watched it here and there, but wasn't a big fan. Now we are getting a live action movie because, we need this instead of live action movies of He-Man and Thundercats apparently. This isn't Jon M. Chu's first dive into making an 80's cartoon into a movie. He was responsible for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. That movie was probably one of the worst movies ever made. It literally was just a movie full of random scenes of random things happening, and then just decided to end randomly. Like they got tired of making it. Anyways, here's your first look at Jem and the Holograms.


Friday the 13th TV series to return! This time with Jason!

Well this is out of left field news, but has the potential to be awesome! It appears that Friday the 13th is heading back to the small screen. For a brief period the original show ran on TV, but never featured Jason Voorhees. It went the Tales From The Crypt route and was just a weird supernatural themed story every week. But this time we will be following around the Camp Crystal Lake killer on his wacky adventures.

Here's hoping it's on the proper network. If it's on a network TV station you can pretty much just bail on this now. But if something like FX, AMC, or even HBO pick it up then we should be in for a great time. Of course people are already complaining about this but listen, Jason went to space. That is about as weird as it can get.

NYPD is a prime example of marketing fail.

So the NYPD decided to have some fun today, and have a little photo contest on Twitter! Sounds like a pretty good idea right?

It's a slow news day. Here's Kate Upton.

It's a pretty slow news day today. Sure there is news, but nothing major or important to even mention as of yet. So here's Kate Upton.

Teaser for the final season of True Blood. FINALLY!

We've been watching True Blood since it started. It started off good, but holy crap did it go downhill fast. It's seriously one of the worst shows on cable. But Jessica + Watching this long so far = I'm in it till the end. Too much time has been invested in watching this show to just stop right when it's close to ending. Hopefully it goes out on a high note and doesn't Dexter itself.


Happy 25th Birthday Game Boy!

25 years ago today, road trips changed forever. I have the picture somewhere, can't find it right now, but it's of me at age 7 on my birthday, having just unwrapped a Game Boy and holding it in the air in excitement. Sure looking at it today it isn't much. With the spinach color screen and having to have the PERFECT lighting to see the screen, but it was mine, and it was awesome.

Wait a minute, the Loch Ness Monster might be real?!

Reports and talk all over the web the past 24 hours are saying that the Loch Ness Monster, might in fact be real after all. New images are popping up thanks to Apple Maps that show a pretty distinct object just under the surface of Lake Loch Ness, it could be anything, but for believers and nerds like me, that has to be the Loch Ness Monster. Keep reading to see the new image!

Hey Rockstar Games, can we get heists in GTAV now?

I love me some Grand Theft Auto V. Sometimes. Some nights can be full of all kinds of crazy adventures, but most nights it's the same ol same ol. Aimlessly driving around, blowing up my own friends for my own entertainment. Yeah I am one of those peaceful players. A rare find in the Online world of GTA. I don't really bother anyone else who is on there playing. No need to just randomly go out of my way to gun someone down as they drive by. It happens to me on occasion from some low level ranked new guy who after randomly shooting and killing me, learns a hard lesson in the world of spawn killing. But seriously, things are getting kind of boring.

Parents Need To Start Parenting: Kids and the world of online gaming.

There are a ton of bratty kids in the world. I see it all the time. At grocery stores, at malls, almost anywhere I go I see some out of control little snot causing a mess while their parents just sit on their phones and pay no attention. It's really annoying, because for parents who actually do give a shit about their kids, it causes some problems. When parents who do raise their kids right, they have to send them to school with these little brats who they might become friends with. And kids are more influenced by the actions of other kids than by anything else. So those years of hard work at parenting just goes down the toilet, thanks to the lousy job of other parents.

Orange Is The New Black season 2 trailer has arrived!

Orange Is The New Black is how I wish all TV shows would be done. Awesome characters and storytelling, while every episode of of the seasons being available to watch. Someday all shows will be this way, but I want it now.

It's been a long wait, but season 2 is near. And from the looks of the trailer we are getting a whole lot more of Crazy-Eyes this season!


X-Men Director Bryan Singer accused of raping a teenage boy.

This is a pretty strange news story. Is it true? Maybe. Is it false? More than likely. Especially since this is something that happened back in 1999 and the victim is just now getting around to legal action, right before Bryan Singer's new X-Men movie comes out. How convenient. Here are the details from the case.

The plaintiff, Michael Egan, claims he was 17 when Singer forcibly sodomized him, among other allegations. Egan’s lawyers, led by Jeff Herman, allege that Singer provided him with drugs and alcohol and flew him to Hawaii on more than one occasion in 1999. His suit claims battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy by unreasonable intrusion, and it seeks unspecified damages.

Sony and Fox teaming up to bring Spider-Man into the X-Men?

Is this a sign of big things to come? We all know that sitting through all of the credits of Marvel films always leaves us with a huge tease of future Marvel movies, but this is somewhat odd.

It seems that after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 credits have finished rolling, we will then be treated to a post credits sequence leading into, X-Men: Days of Futures Past. What's so odd about this is that Spider-Man is a Sony film, all rights to him are owned by them. And X-Men is a Fox property. Why would rival studios be promoting each others films if a crossover isn't in the cards for the future? It could mean big business for both studios if they have decided to play nice together and do this. Seeing Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and X-Men all together in one movie would be huge. Now if only Sony and Fox would be nice and team up with Disney to bring the Avengers into the fold, wow.

So what are your thoughts on this? Do you think we can expect to see Spider-Man pop up in X-Men: Apocalypse?

Behold! The final trailer for X-Men: Days of Futures Past!

Bryan Singer himself just sent out a simple tweet with a link. I clicked and what popped up was the final trailer for X-Men: Days of Futures Past!

What are your thoughts on this one? Personally, I'm not too big on the X-Men movies. I loved First Class, the first two were alright, the third was awful, and I'm still waiting on a good Wolverine movie to come along. Bryan Singer back at the helm doesn't do a whole lot for me. It's cool and all but, Superman Returns. Yeah. Anyways, check it out!


Paul Walker's brothers to help out with Fast & Furious 7

The following was released today from the production team from Fast & Furious 7.

A Note to the Fans of FAST & FURIOUS

The FAST & FURIOUS saga is about family. The characters are connected by the bond of family, and it is how all of us who have worked together for more than thirteen years feel about each other. It certainly defines how we feel about our fans.

Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in November. We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film.

V/H/S Director Heads To Camp Crystal Lake!

David Bruckner, the director of the 'Amateur Night' segment from V/H/S is in negotiations to helm the next Friday the 13th! This is awesome news as rumors swirl that the new Friday the 13th reboot, remake, rewhatever, is looking to take on the found footage craze that has been blowing up the box office in recent years. And he is a proven director with both his segment from V/H/S and the movie The Signal being two of the very best things to happen in horror in recent years.

So what are your thoughts? Are you a fan of David Bruckner's work so far? Are you a fan of them taking the Friday the 13th franchise the found footage route? Or are you just happy to see Jason Voorhees back up on the big screen? I'm happy with all of the above. And if you have yet to check out V/H/S, stop what you're doing and fix that right away!
