Deadpool and Harley Quinn make The Notebook look interesting


Artist Marco D'Alfonso has done the unthinkable in making The Notebook look like an interesting movie. 

The duo are shown having a loving moment while being showered in The Joker's blood.

Hollywood should really make this happen, as The Joker and Quinn's insanity makes a great match with Deadpool's sarcastic humor.  At the very least we deserve a graphic novel.

Harrison Ford set to return as Han Solo?



With multiple sites reporting it, Harrison Ford may be a lock to return to the Stars Wars universe as Han Solo in the upcoming Episode VII according to Ann Oldenburg at USA Today.

If true, this development will add even more excitement to the upcoming seventh Star Wars movie, which will take place what has to be years after the conclusion of the original trilogy. 

Ford has stated in previous interviews that he believes the character should have died at the end of Episode VI, but has apparently had a change of heart. 

Very little information on the upcoming film exists, except for the fact that J.J. Abrams will direct.  These little developments add hype to the film franchise, which previously alienated many viewers with the prequels.

XBox 360 touted as superior entertainment console

According to Engadget and PlaystationLifestyle, Microsoft Senior Vice President of the Interactive Entertainment Business Yusuf Mehdi has touted the Xbox 360 as the superior entertainment console. over Sony's Playstation 3.

Of course a lot of this is for PR purposes, but they are bold statements, considering the driving force behind the non-gaming entertainment for each console is the use of Netflix.  It becomes even more interesting when you learn that Netflix's favored development platform and majority of users come from the PS3. 

What say you?  Which console is your favorite for entertainment and for what reasons?

Doctor Who art impresses


Deviantart user Samkaat has created a masterpiece in this portrayal of the tenth Doctor from the beloved Doctor Who series.

The artist calls this a piece from "that period when the show was actually good."  However, is Matt Smith that bad?  Sure, David Tennant is the best thing that happened to the show, ever, but Smith also makes quite the interesting Doctor.

Grand Theft Auto V delayed, will release Sept. 17


In what is hopefully the worst news you will hear today, Rockstar Games have delayed Grand Theft Auto V from its initial March release until Sept. 17.

The official release states:

We know this is about four months later than originally planned and we know that this short delay will come as a disappointment to many of you, but, trust us, it will be worth the extra time. GTAV is a massively ambitious and complex game and it simply needs a little more polish to be of the standard we and, more importantly, you require.
To all Grand Theft Auto fans, please accept our apologies for the delay, and our promise that the entire team here is working very hard to make the game all it can be. We are doing all we can to help ensure it will meet if not exceed your expectations come September – we thank you for your support and patience.

Polish is always good, right?

Disney to promote "Lone Ranger" during Super Bowl


Disney is planning a 90-second spot for their upcoming film "The Lone Ranger" during the Super Bowl on February 3.  At a cool $4 million per 30-second spot, that means Disney is dropping an astounding $12 million to present this one to what will hopefully be their future audience.

With what is reported to be a $250 million budget, the studio must hope that Depp's star power will keep this afloat.  The film also stars Armie Hammer, Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson, and Helena Bonham Carter.  Suspiciously absent is Tim Burton.

If you're a huge fan of the ranger, or can't get enough Johnny Depp playing weird, quirky characters, the film debuts on July 3.
