Marvel congratulates Jurassic World on crushing box office records

By

Jurassic World was probably destined to be a hit, but I don’t know that anyone expected it to completely shatter box office records.

The film raked in $208.8 million domestically last weekend, surpassing The Avengers’ $207.4 million record, and soared past Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’s $314 million international bow with $315.3 million.

But it seems Marvel, for one, doesn’t have any hard feelings. Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige tweeted his congratulations to the Jurassic World team today, including, of course, Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt.

The tweet features fun artwork by Marvel Studios concept artist Andy Park, depicting a dinosaur-riding Pratt lording over the befuddled Avengers.

Muppets for Best Song!

What with all the talk about the Oscar nominations getting announced today, one particular nomination has been overlooked. Namely the fact that even though the ENTIRE soundtrack was overlooked by the Golden Globes the Oscars at least did right by the best bunch of original songs this year and nominated Man or Muppet as on of the contenders for Best Original Song. Sure my pick would have been for Life's a Happy Song, but that's not what's important. What is important is that The Muppets got an Oscar Nomination! YAAAAAAAAAY

Day 5 of Halloween - The Fly (1958)

Jason:  First of all, I hope that everyone watched the right iteration of this film. The one with Vincent Price, not Jeff Goldblum.  Now that we’ve gotten that straight… This movie is considered to be a Halloween cult classic. It doesn’t have a whole lot in the way of scares or terror but it still remains a seasonal favorite. For the time, the make-up effects were decent. The way Andre’s fly head twitches and vibrates makes it look pretty convincing for a 1950’s puppet mask. The story, however, is what is so captivating. I have been reading a lot of Lovecraft stories lately and I couldn’t help but draw a comparison between them and this movie. The plot is very Lovecraftian. Let me explain: The main character is a highly intellectual recluse who spends most of his time in research. He stumbles across some natural secret that ultimately leads to his destruction. As he is trying to rectify his discovery, he slips farther and farther away from his humanity until he is completely m

News Control: Tom Hardy as the Punisher

In the past day or two you may have seen something crossing your facebook page or news feed about Tom Hardy looking at playing The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This obviously would cause quite a buzz. The Punisher has been made into a movie three times and three times it has failed to start a Punisher franchise. It would be very exciting for Marvel to look into kickstarting one of their grittier characters and Tom Hardy would be a great casting choice, especially since he's about to star in a big summer blockbuster with Mad Max. But here's the thing. As of right now, Tom Hardy is not up for the role of The Punisher. In fact, Marvel isn't even currently working on a Punisher Franchise. (not one that's been announced at least) all of those stories are stemming from one statement that Tom Hardy made while promoting Mad Max. When the interviewer asked Hardy if there was any comic book character he would like to play Hardy mentioned that he would like to b
