Generation Brown - 3D

It's 3-D Charlie Brown

The Peanuts are coming to the 21st Century, and in computer animated format.  That's right blockhead and Red Baron hater lovers, 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios have reached an agreement with the estate of Charles M. Shultz to produce an all new computer generated Peanuts feature.  (In other words the truck full of money was heard backing up all the way in Sarah Palin country though not as loud as the ARRRRGH! from the fans.)   It doesn't have a title yet, but will debut on November 25th 2015, which coincides with the 65th anniversary of the first Peanuts comic strip as well as the 50th anniversary of the classic A Charlie Brown Christmas.   More on this as the news comes.

DHep 204 - Falling Into Previews

In this episode the boys discuss the upcoming fall season. what to look foward to and what not to feel so good about.

Robocop Has No House

Hugh Lurie, who made a semi-big TV splash playing the grouchy doctor with OCD and an odd resemblance to Lionel Luther from Smallville, House, was in talks to play the evil head of the corporation that turn a cop into a Robocop has bowed out of the project. Some rumors are saying he turned down the role because of the bed reviews to the script which was given pretty bad reviews by the usual internet suspects. No word on where this puts the remake project.

"Snikking" Biel

Jessica Biel, who was in talk with 20th Century Fox to play Viper in the upcoming Wolverine sequel (call The Wolverine) reported that contract talks have broken down and she is walking away from the project. 20th Century Fox is reported to “be in talks with other actresses.” Viper is villain who heads the evil faux-Nazi organization call Hydra in Marvel Comics and is a villain with benefits to James (Logan) Hudson – aka Wolverine. “The Wolverine” is expected to get underway in a month’s time – shooting occurring in both Australia and Japan – so expect the replacement to be named fairly quickly.

What a Night-Bitch

Booth has some racked up her own set geek creds, including multiple appearances in series The 4400 and Eerie, Indiana, and a role in Dawn of the Dead. Kick-Ass 2 will premiere June 28th, 2013

Another Black Actor in Thor (Damn that Obamacare)

Racists, line up for your meaningless protests now, because Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who made a huge splash playing Mr. Echo in LOST, will play the dual roles of Algrim the Strong and Kurse in Thor: The Dark World. Akinnuoye-Agbaje had a recurring role on Lost that was cut short due to family problems and made an appearance in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

Fan-Fiction Porn Comes True

Looks like DC has decided to make the dirty wet dreams of dozens of fan fiction writers (and probably a porn pardoy) come true as everyone is talking about the Superman/Wonder Woman hook-up coming to the pages of their respective comics. Lois Lane might be a spunky reporter but she just can’t compete with a leggy big-boobed Amazon who walks around in a skin-tight one piece and hooker boots. (To be fair, could anyone compete with that.)
