Apes, Gonzo, Worst Idea Ever, and More

I remember being a wee lad (er, lass) and popped in the floppy disc computer game, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego and I was hooked! Now, it appears to be getting the big screen treatment with Jennifer Lopez as the world famous detective gone rogue. My inner 12 year old is torn between seeing the movie and ew, J.Lo… – Huffington Post

If you were lucky enough to catch Rise of the Planet of the Apes in theaters, you hopefully felt like I did and thought it was phenomenal! Andy Serkis has confirmed that the beginnings of a sequel. This POTA fangirl is extremely pumped. What’d you think of ROTPOTA if you saw it? – Ology

Most X-Men fans agree that X-Men: The Last Stand sucked all the balls in the world so why on God’s green earth would they hire Simon Kinberg to write the sequel to the successful reboot? Makes TOTAL sense. i09 seems to have a much more hopeful outlook. – io9

Winter is coming and with it, I’m now gonna be able to get my George R.R. Martin fix all year long now!! His wildly popular series Wild Cards has been picked up by SyFy. Whether it will be a motion picture or a television series remains to be seen. – Hollywood Reporter

This was the one thing on my feed this morning that made me whipser, “what the fuck…” as I ate my Cinnamon Toast Crunch. – Geeks Are Sexy

I’m usually all for Kate Beckinsale but I think it’s time to let Underworld go. Part three was enjoyable but just so. For the remaining fans of lycans versus vampires, check out the Underworld 4 trailer here.

Ridley Scott has been extremely tight lipped when it comes to his new flick, Prometheus, but has finallllly let some juicy details slip, such as the last eight minutes tie into the first Alien movie and the always gorgeous Sigourney Weaver will NOT be making a cameo. Sad panda is sad. – Comic Book Movie

Akira would never be on my list of “anime that make good live action movies,” but seeing as how I don’t make movies, my opinion is widely ignored. Gary Oldman is confirmed to be cast as Colonel and Tron Legacy’s Garrett Hedlund will be portraying Kaneda. Does this make you MORE or LESS interested? – ShowBlitz
I’m always on Team Captain Jack Harkness. ALWAYS. –Blastr
