9 Jun 2009  Media

Film

  • Are these really The 15 Most Disturbing Movies Ever Made? I suppose if you rule out the gore of slasher flicks, they might be. Personally, though, I didn’t find Hard Candy all that disturbing.
  • Coed Magazine names The 20 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010.
  • Does Bruce Willis really deserve to be included on any list of the Top Ten Science Fiction Movie Actors? I’d give that one a big “Hell no,” by Mike Brotherton disagrees. He does, however, do a fantastic job choosing Ten of the Most Classic Science Fiction Movie Scenes.
  • Good news: Liam Neeson may star in an The A-Team movie.
  • The Live Action Jetsons Movie looks even worse than Speed Racer. Please stop!
  • Manolith points out 15 Predictions About The Future That Failed Miserably.

Television

  • According to io0, Futurama may be coming back to television!
  • How are your minds today? Are they good? Not blown, you say? Try wrapping your minds around this, then. 30 ROCK is a rip-off of THE MUPPET SHOW!
  • The first sketches of the ship Ronald D. Moore’s long-awaited Virtuality series is set on have surfaced. To me, they summon memories of The Starlost.
