WALKING DEAD-Inspired Beer Brewed with Real Brains

In celebration of the of the Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead, Philadelphia's Dock Street Brewing Company just announced they will be making and releasing Dock Street Walker, a 7.2% American Pale Stout brewed with actual brains… goat brains to be exact. 

To give the beer a subtle smoky flavor, Dock Street chose smoked goat brains (which from a zombie's perspective probably aren't as tasty as human ones, but walkers can't be choosers). Cranberries were also added to the mix to provide a little bit of tartness and give the beer a bloody red hue.

The idea for the beer came from Dock Street’s head brewer Justin Low and brewery rep Sasha Certo-Ware, who are obviously huge fans of AMC’s zombie series. Here's a statement they released:

“More often than not, monotonous Monday cleaning rituals (labors of love for brewers everywhere) were spent recapping the previous night’s twists, turns, narrow escapes, or untimely goodbyes. Dock Street wanted to brew a special tribute to the show."

The big question here is… would you drink a beer brewed with real braaaains?


Evangeline Lilly Confirmed for ANT-MAN and Corey Stoll In Talks

A month ago we learned that LOST and The Hobbit star Evangeline Lilly was in talks to take on the lead female role in Marvel's Ant-Man. It's now been confirmed that her deal has closed, and she's officially on board. Word on the net is she will be playing Hank Pym's daughter and Scott Lang's love interest. It would be pretty cool if she turned out to be Wasp though, she would easily fit the character. In the comics she is the daughter Vernon van Dyne and Dr. Henry "Hank" Pym was his associate. Who knows how it will all work out in the movie though. 

The Wrap also reports that House of Cards and Non-Stop actor Corey Stoll is in early talks to join Lilly, Paul Rudd, and Michael Douglas in the movie. There's no word on who he will be playing in the film if he's cast, but all will be revealed in time. 

New Origin Story for NINJA TURTLES Movie Revealed

The trailer for producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman‘s Teenage Mutant Ninjas Turtles movie will be released this Thursday, but it was screened at CinemaCon earlier today. The trailer reveals the new origin story for the Ninja Turtles, and if you want to wait to find out what that origin is until the trailer is released then don't read beyond this point….

.

.

.

.

Ok, are we good? 

Thanks to Badass Digest, who saw the trailer, we learned that April O' Neil's father and Shredder created the ooze that turns the turtles into ninjas. It's actually a much better origin than the alien one that was first leaked. Here's a brief description of the trailer.

At first the trailer hides the turtles – there’s voice over from William Fichtner’s Shredder explaining the city has gone to shit. We see criminals with automatic weapons and buildings exploding and maybe – just maybe! – it seems like this could be a Hobo With A Shotgun version of a city in decline. It turns out that this version of Shredder hates that crime and violence, and so he started a program to create heroes. That’s juxtaposed with TCRI ooze canisters and experiments. You know, the ooze that created the turtles. The ooze that Shredder made… with April’s dad. Yes, the VO is Shredder telling April he and her dad made the turtles.

I'm a huge fan of this franchise and this little change in the origin linking Shredder, April O' Neil, and her father to the creation of the turtles doesn't really bother me. In the end, they were still transformed by the ooze, and the fact that the villain and O'Neill are linked to their creation should make for an interesting plot line. What do the rest of you Ninja Turtle fans think? 

5 Terribly Hilarious Foes We Hope Never Appear on ARROW

$

Arrow is a fantastic show and is currently my favorite superhero series of all time. I recently looked into the roots of Green Arrow to try and predict villains who could appear in Season 3 of the show. What I found instead were an insane list of idiotic foes that rival even some of the worst Batman and Superman villains. I guess that's what happens when you spend so long as a second tier hero. I hope these characters never appear in any episode of Arrow, but if they did, I envisioned how it would go down.

Titus Flagsmith AKA "The Flag"

Background: It would seem that you just weren't a superhero in the late 40's unless you battled a pirate at one point.. Aquaman battled Black Jack, and Batman managed to find Black Beard and Psycho Pirate living in Gotham, so it likely came as no surprise to Oliver when an urban swashbuckler found his way to Starling City. In fact, Oliver would go on to face 4 other pirates throughout his career, but this one was unlike the rest. He had a sword, a bandana, and a devilishly dapper mustache. Unfortunately, his name wasn't the Crimson Captain or Davy Jones. His name? The Flag. He was The Flag who did flag based crimes. 

Now I'm not one to dictate whom a hero pursues and doesn't pursue, but with all the s*** going down in the city how is a guy stealing flags even a blip on the radar? His name is the worst on this list especially considering his first name is Titus. How can you have such a badass first name and decide to go with the last name that you were unmercifully teased with through grade school?

How He Would Appear on Arrow: Titus F. Smith would be a visiting diplomat from Somalia who wishes to do business with Queen Consolidated. At a fancy dinner party to celebrate this event just after Oliver confronts his mother Moira about some lie, the door is kicked open and everyone turns. It's Laurel. She's relapsed and is drunkenly stumbling around and angrily screaming "I WAS A LAWYER!" She then trips and knocks Titus F. Smith to the ground and simultaneously tears the Somalian flag in half trying to keep her balance. Smith plays it cool, but then has Laurel kidnapped and whisked away to a ship on international waters. Ollie must race against time to save her.  

Auntie Gravity

Background: Auntie Gravity was, as her name would imply, not a mother. This woman somehow developed anti-gravity ("GET IT?!" said some 1980s comic writer) powers and went on a crime spree with her nephews. Oliver needed the help of Black Canary to take her down. Look at the above picture. I'd put this woman in her late 50s at best, and one of her nephews looks like Ringo Starr. How do you defeat an evil old woman with anti-gravity powers? I would suggest stealth and a quick arrow to the back of the head. Oliver took the high road and it took him two issues to do it.

How She Would Appear on ArrowThea would run into an old school mate, Gravella, and they would reminisce about their time spent at the "Longfellow Academy For Rich Girls With Weird Names." Gravella comes by the bar at Thea's suggestion and parties way too hard. Some guy gets rough with her and triggers something from her past and she brings down one of those gaudy looking decorative cogs on a bunch of dancers. Roy is in the crowd and catches it and hoists it to the side. Thea sees what happened but remains oblivious to Roy's power. Oliver appears and has a romantic encounter with Gravella.

Onomatopoeia

Background: This is one that will likely get some flak, as Onomatopoeia is actually well written for how dreadfully awful his character is. He's an oddly specific serial killer who targets vigilante heroes without powers. True to his name he repeats the sound of most everything. Out of all the villains in this list, he is by far among the most successful, having almost killed the second Green Arrow (Connor Hawke), and murdering Silver St. Cloud in the Batman comics. His level of cheese as a villain is so bad, if he were to be put on television it would have to be exactly the way he is in the comics to make any sense.

How He Would Appear on ArrowHe likely will, and despite what some fans may think, it won't be well received. As Kevin Smith put it...

It only kind of works – I think – on a comic book page because if you have a gun going off, they usually write BLAM! and then you can have, you know, the character saying "BLAM!" in a word balloon, but like if you tried to do that cinematically you can’t really rock it. A gun in a film sounds completely different. It doesn’t read as BLAM! and so to have a dude say BLAM! after a true gunshot, all these people would be like "he’s just retarded." I think it works great in print and on a comic book page. I don’t think that character would translate very well outside of that.

The Roper

 Easy Roy...this isn't his first ro...OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Easy Roy...this isn't his first ro...OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Master or ropes, or perhaps farts if you only knew him from the above panel. Roper, as you probably guessed, uses ropes to incapacitate Ollie and Roy when they first meet. Roy is flabbergasted, but Oliver appears sympathetic to the villain's plights and encourages him to take one of his rope arrows. A couple more encounters happen with each one resulting in The Roper grabbing more and more rope arrows. Eventually Green Arrow and Speedy are captured by "glow in the dark" rope that blinds them.  Right when it seems like their darkest hour, Oliver tells Roper there is one final rope arrow in his quiver. Roper grabs it and is entangled in ropes. THE MASTER OF ROPES FAILS TO ESCAPE and is arrested.  This story gets much weirder than this so head on over to SlayMonstroBot to get the director's cut.

 

How He Would Appear on ArrowA string of hanging suicides across the bottoms of Starling City has Oliver looking for answers. Diggle reveals a guy from his past who was dishonorably discharged for aggression and torture tactics in Afghanistan. Felicity feels ignored and confronts Oliver mid episode.

Professor Merlin

7-terribly-hilarious-foes-we-hope-never-appear-on-arrowmerline.png

Not to be confused with Malcolm Merlyn, Professor Merlin is a teacher...OF CRIME! Merlin uses his educating skills to train wannabe offenders in "crime college." From racketeering to car jacking, Professor Merlin is eventually thwarted by Oliver. That shouldn't happen, and I refuse to believe it did. This guy has a PHD in crime, and managed to get caught? Unbelievable, or perhaps that was all part of it. Maybe Professor Merlin's plan all along was to be caught. Stay with me here for a second. Dozens of criminals seek his help in getting better at committing crimes, and he obliges all at the cost of a tuition! Merlin gets arrested, but no one says a word. What can they say? They want to report they were attending a college to commit crimes and want their money back??? It's genius really. 

How He Would Appear on ArrowAfter a tremendous ratings slide in its 5th season, Greg Berlanti starts going for indie cred and literally puts every character in the GA universe into an episode. The Tomorrow People beats out Arrow in ratings that week.

We've got a really freakin' awesome short film today based on the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The film was directed by Moe Charif, and it's got some really awesome visuals. The special effects in the film were done very well. Here's the description:

Based on the video game Deus Ex Human Revolution, the film dives into the world of Adam Jensen, a serif industries' security consultant that gets augmented after an incident that almost took his life away. Although the film doesn't follow the narrative of the game exactly, it remains true to the theme while focusing on the relationship between Adam Jensen, and his ex girlfriend Megan Reed, a scientist hand picked by Serif Industries to head Cybernetic Augmentations. Megan is taken by the Illuminati and is asked to assist them in turning on a mysterious device but she refuses to cooperate. Jensen has been looking for Megan since she was kidnapped and has finally pinpointed her location. Adam faces a complication that he did not account for; Yelena Federova, an Augmented assassin is at the facility where Megan is being held. The film also taps, even if briefly, into Adam's mind and the struggle he must face on daily basis.

I think you'll all really enjoy this.

AMC has released a couple more posters promoting the Season 4 finale of The Walking Dead. The shit is about to hit the fan! There are very bad things that await these characters at Terminus. Season 4 is going to end on a major downer. People are going to die, and I think Maggie is going to be one of them. This is just me speculating, but when Glenn burned that only picture he had of her in the last episode, that was a big hint to me that she was going to bite the dust. But maybe I was over-thinking things. We do know death awaits one or more of our favorite characters, we'll just have to wait until Sunday to see who will arrive and who will survive. 


Robert Downey Jr. Talks Chris Evans and AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

In a recent interview with VarietyRobert Downey Jr. discussed the advantages and disadvantages of playing Iron Man, urging Chris Evans to play Captain America, and he also praised Joss Whedon's script for The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Here he talks about why he urged Evans to play Steve Rogers:

“There was so much riding on (playing the part of) what essentially could be considered the squarest superhero in history. It was probably the most risky of the franchises we launched. I say ‘we,’ like I’m a company man, which I like to think I am. By the way, I’m a fan of his. I’m not kidding. I’m having 50 kids over and I’m screening Captain America 2 on my birthday, which happens to be the day it opens. I haven’t seen it. That’s one of the perks of being on the inside track at Marvel. I hope it’s not watermarked too heavily.”

Downey is then asked how many more Marvel Cinematic Universe ventures he thinks there will be to which he replied:

“The smart money is you have to look at everybody’s age. I’ll put myself at the top of the list. Sooner or later, they’ve got to start over and get somebody young. I’m not there with them yet. It really is the closest thing to being a beloved contract player with a big old-timey studio that there is right now. When you really think about it at the end of the day, these films are entertainment largely driven by young folks. There is something very honorable about that. I run into kids wearing ‘Captain America' masks. My kid believes that Captain America is real." 

He then talks about the downside of playing a superhero:

“It’s kind of like having a really cool TV job. They are always hoping they don’t get picked up for another season; or they are wondering if they’re going to get picked up for another season; or they have done so many seasons, and they are already sick of doing the show, but the show is so big, it’s working well for them. Any of those three things is better than calling your agent and saying, ‘Hey, anything going on? It’s pilot season.’ ”

When it comes to the Avengers: Age of Ultron the actor went on to praise it saying,

 “This one is a very ambitious sequel. If you read it, it’s dense, it’s smart. Joss [Whedon] is a really smart guy. My 2-year-old is crazy about Hawkeye, and I think Jeremy [Renner] has a lot to do with the plot. There’s always so many plates to spin to get these things half-right, and I’m really excited about this one.”

Downey Jr. has been such a great asset to the Marvel cinematic universe. It's weird to think the studio didn't want him at first and that Jon Favreau had to fight for him to be in the film. There will come a day when he no longer will play Iron Man, but right now let's just enjoy the awesomeness that he brings to it all.

A clip has been released from the upcoming DC animated film Son of Batman. It features a scene with Batman and his son Damian. 

In the story Batman learns that he has a violent, unruly pre-teen son with Talia al Ghul named Damian Wayne who is secretly being raised by Ra's al Ghul and the League of Assassins.

The film is loosely based on the first story arc from Grant Morrison’s long run of writing Batman comics, illustrated by Andy Kubert. It features the voices of Jason O'Mara as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Stuart Allan as Damian, Morena Baccarin as Talia, Giancarlo Esposito as Ra's Al Ghul, David McCallum as Alfred Pennyworth, Xander Berkeley as Kirk Langstrom (aka Man-Bat), and Thomas Gibson as Deathstroke.

The movie is set to be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and digital download on May 6th. It will have its world premiere at this year's WonderCon. I really like the look of this movie, and I think it will actually turn out to be really good. 

Disney to Develop New INDIANA JONES Trilogy with Bradley Cooper?

An interesting rumor surrounding Indiana Jones has hit, and it originates from our friends at Latino Review. They say that Disney and Lucasfilm are preparing to develop a new Indiana Jones trilogy if their sequel with Harrison Ford doesn't work out.

There is still a chance that Ford will make a fifth film, but according to the site, "the window of making that happen is getting smaller and smaller. There is a date and if Indiana Jones 5 is not moving forward by then, the studios are 100% prepared to recast a younger Dr. Jones and ready up a new trilogy."

The new films won't necessarily be a reboot of the franchise, they are looking at it as more of a James Bond type situation. This means they are just planning to recast the role and continue the adventures the same way that Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig, and others have done for Bond over the last 50 years. This was actually a part of the original idea that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg had for the character. 

The inside source for the site told them that the studio is looking at several actors to replace Ford, but Bradley Cooper is at the top of their list to crack the whip. They also say that Shawshank Redemption writer and director Frank Darabont could work on developing a film for the franchise again. I would love to see Darabont work on an Indiana Jones film. He previously pitched an awesome idea that never happened, which you can read about here. There's no word on if this will be the one he would develop, but it would be pretty amazing. 

It will be interesting to see what happens with all of this. Even if Ford does make another Indiana Jones film, chances are somewhere down the line they will follow through with the plan of recasting the character and develop a new trilogy. 

If this all turns out to be true, I think it's fine because it's in line with the original idea that Lucas and Spielberg had. I also think Cooper would be a solid replacement for Ford. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. 

Horror Short with a Monster Who Eats Kids' Eyes - CHILD EATER

I've got a genuinely scary short horror film for you to watch today called Child Eater. The intense story is set around a local legend of a terrifying monster who eats children's eyes to keep from going blind. It also involves a pregnant babysitter and a missing local kid. Child Eater was written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen, and the team that put it together are looking to turn it into a feature-length film. If you like what you see please head on over to the Kickstarter campaign that they launched. Here's a more detailed description of the story:

Child Eater takes place over the course of one very long night. Helen isn't thrilled about babysitting little Lucas and it certainly doesn't make it any easier that he's convinced he hears breathing coming from his closet. But it's just his imagination, right? 

When Helen goes upstairs to check on Lucas late at night, she's shocked to find an empty bed. Lucas is missing … and his closet door is wide open. Now she's got no choice but to follow his trail deep into the woods, the same woods where, decades earlier, an infamous serial killer preyed on children and ate their eyes in order to keep himself from going blind.

Needless to say, Helen is in for quite a ride ... 

I'm always up for watching a good horror movie, and this is definitely worth your time.

I'm incredibly excited to report that a sequel to Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil is going into development! If you haven't seen the first movie yet, it's freakin' hilarious, and you need to watch it. I loved that movie, and unfortunately it didn't get the theatrical release that it deserved. 

The stars of the film,Tyler Labine and Alan Tudyk, made the announcement at Horrorhound in Cincinnati, OH this past weekend. The producers of the movie contacted them to say a sequel is currently in development. I honestly never thought that would happen, so I couldn't be more happily surprised. Thanks to Bigger Show you can watch a video of the announcement below. 

Labine went on to say that he and Tudyk are very protective of the horror comedy property and that they will “never make a shitty sequel.” So if the producers want them back to reprise their roles, the producers will have to show them that they can deliver an awesome sequel. For those of you not familiar with the first film, here's the synopsis:

Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count.

The sequel may not happen anytime soon as it's still in the early stages of development, but it's something to look forward to. 


6 Time Periods ASSASSIN'S CREED Needs to Visit

The Eagles by RockLou

Ubisoft recently confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Unity is a real thing, and is one of two games being released this year. Unity has been announced for PS4 and XBox One (the trailer of which you can catch below), but there will be another entry for PS3, 360, and maybe Wii U (but don’t hold your breath for that last one). Unity is set in Paris, but that is about all we know of the now current gen title, but it got my wheels turning a bit on what other eras are ripe for sneaking around and getting all stabby-stabby on people. For your perusal, here is a roundup of my best proposals.

1930’s Noir

Early Casinos, hubs of NY and Chicago, and interacting with people like Franklin Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and Al Capone. All of these pockets of history would be open for interpretation if Ubisoft went down this road.  It would also provide a compelling backdrop to the action, being the era of the Great Depression and all. Seeing how the Templars would take advantage of that situation would be a story worth telling, as long as it was handled with care.

It should be noted that this would also allow me to live out a childhood fantasy of mine. I've always wanted to be one of the Untouchables, and this would allow me to live that little dream out, albeit with blades and a cool hood. Just for me Ubi, please name a templar Nitty, just so I can utter the fantastic one liner reply, "he's in the car".

Feudal Japan

This is an era that many have been clamoring for, and while Shao Jun represented the Chinese brotherhood in the animated Embers movie, we haven't been exposed to the Japanese contingent. The better question is, how have they not done this yet?! It lends itself so well to the blades and stealth aspects of the franchise. Let the player create their own weapons, and possibly even pick a combat style to personalize the experience more, breaking up combat into different styles of martial arts, letting you customize your combat experience even more. 

World War 2

What? Another World War 2 game? Really? Yes, and the reason being that Assassin's Creed has a unique flair all its own that would fit the setting really well. Ever played The Saboteur? If not, it's worth the $7 you can get it for on Amazon. The game didn't live up to what it could've been, but it still was worth a playthrough, this could be all that game aspired to be and so much more. Working with different generals and political figures, traveling to different fronts of the war, and showing how the Templars operated around or with the Nazi’s could prove to be a very memorable installment in the franchise.

Assassin of the Future by LunaeMaster

Assassin of the Future by LunaeMaster

The Future

Not to get all Days of Future Past here, but it would be a nice foundation for this entry in the Assassin Templar conflict. Templars have won the war, but there are still a few Assassin's fighting the overwhelming odds, and you are one of those few remaining of the brotherhood. Your goal? To manifest the other assassins that Abstergo has mined for profits and secrets into the physical world, creating an unstoppable army that can end the Templars rein once and for all. Pretty rad right?

Child of the 1980s

Just for fun really, but Ubisoft could make it work. It could be like Vice City but with a much more serious tone. There have been many takes on the 80s, but most lean towards caricature rather than realism (and the ones that did were not very good, such as the recent Miami Vice reboot a few years ago). A more run down protagonist, possibly one who has been kicked out of the Assassins and is having to rebuild his reputation. It's something we haven't seen from an Assassin's Creed protagonist so far. 

Side note: The best DLC ever would consist of downloadable Cosby sweaters in various colors. An assassin clothed in Huxtable gear is an idea that just needs to happen.

United States of Assassin's by SyNDiKaTa-NP

United States of Assassin's by SyNDiKaTa-NP

The Civil War

At first I was not sold on this, but after thinking about it a bit more (as well as a recent viewing of Lincoln), the Civil War era would be worth exploring. Templars tend to pick a side in any conflict, but if they were pulling strings for both sides to further the war, it could make for good drama. You’d also encounter characters like Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, General Lee, etc. While it doesn't need to have the protagonist involved in every major event in history, there are some great things that you could work with as plot points. What if one assassin could change the events of history by stopping Lincoln's assassination? What if Abstergo finally stopped just observing events but began proactively changing them? These could be fun rabbit holes to go down, just to break things up.  

Those are my pitches, now it's time to hear yours. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Watching movie trailers on the big screen is one of my favorite parts of going to the movies. I hate it when I miss the trailers. I'll be honest though, I've never wondered what the history behind movie trailers was before, but thanks to FilmmakerIQ.com we have a great video essay that goes through the evolution of the trailer, how it started and where it currently stands. This is done really well and is actually very informative. It's a must watch for anyone that considers themselves a hardcore movie buff. 

Some people consider them the best part of the movie going experience - the Movie Trailer. Take a look at the evolution of the "coming attractions" from simple silent film splices, through the template style of the Golden Age of Hollywood, through Auteurs and finally into the Blockbuster era.

These are the first two posters for The Wachowskis' new sci-fi action film Jupiter Ascending. They feature Channing Tatum as an alien elf hybrid and Mila Kunis as a normal hot earthling who is in reality a space princess who will be saved by Tatum.

Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things.  Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks.  Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along – her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

The movie is set to be released in theaters on July 18th, and a new trailer is coming soon so stay tuned.
