When the original Iron Man came out, I don't think anyone--especially Marvel--thought it was going to become what it did, which is basically the first cog in a giant machine known as Phase I. Phase I involved setting up a cast of characters that would be shoe-horned into each other's movies and lead... Read More
The trailer for Pineapple Express 2 was just an April Fools joke, part of a viral marketing campaign for another Judd Apatow buddy comedy that happens to star the exact same people and...well, sounds exactly like Pineapple Express 2. However, if you're a big fan of Craig Robinson and sequels, I do... Read More
Yesterday's Pineapple Express 2 trailer might have been an April Fool's joke, but at least the red band trailer for This Is the End is the real deal. And considering this film is about James Franco, Seth Rogen, Craig Robinson, and Danny McBride getting high and doing stupid shit, it's basically the sequel... Read More
Back in the 80s and 90s, studio execs got in their heads that as long as they slapped Stephen King's name in front of whatever project they were making, people would go to see it. And they were usually right. Then people kind of went a little mad and starting just churning out dreck based on any cocktail... Read More
As part of the viral marketing campaign for this summer's This is the End, Seth Rogen and Co. have released a fake trailer from within the movie for a sequel to their stoner hit Pineapple Express. The plot of This is the End revolves around fictional versions of the Apatow actors shacked up together... Read More
Last week Conan O'Brien made headlines for a bunch of jokes he didn't make. His former employer, NBC, decided to take another stab at replacing the entirely unfunny Jay Leno with the younger and hipper host of NBC's Late Night—this time Jimmy Fallon—but Conan decided to take the high road, and his...

Well, it's finally back. Now that Walking Dead is off the air, without Game of Thrones' return, I'd be forced to do something awful, like read, on my Sunday evenings. Blech! The HBO show returned with a bang last night (unfortunately only of the metaphorical variety and no gratuitous sex was had)... Read More
Take your thinking cap off and flush it down the toilet, because we've got the trailer for 2 Guns, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg. It's about time Hollywood gave us an interracial buddy-cop movie in which the main characters have to figure out who's playing who! I can't believe it took... Read More
Ah, WonderCon, that red-headed step-child of Comic Con, took place over the weekend in Anaheim, California and as expected, it brought in droves of B-class CW actors promoting their shows about vampires or superheroes or vampire superheroes. But it also brought in droves of girl cosplayers. I was... Read More
Bald badass Bruce Willis, as he himself would attest, is a little middle-aged spread-ier than he was in 1988 upon Die Hard’s release (who isn’t?). Still, his alter-ego John McClane remains the dudeliest dude ever to be named after a range of frozen foodstuffs. For this, and for bestowing on us some... Read More
A commercial for the Evil Dead remake will air during this Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead. But you're far too important to wait around for it like a normal person. So despite the great personal risk associated with intellectual property theft and film piracy, I hacked into TriStar Pictures' computers... Read More
We've saved you the trouble of having to use your abacus to keep track of all the gruesome, bloody deaths that occur in season one of Game of Thrones as you binge watch every episode in anticipation of the season three premiere on HBO this Sunday night. Because it's not TV, guys. It's not! Because... Read More
With shows like Justified, Sons of Anarchy, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, FX has already become a basic cable refuge for critics and viewers who've grown tired of the formulaic shenanigans of the all-powerful Chuck Lorre. This week, however, it seems that FX has decided to double down with... Read More
I've pretty much stopped trusting any news that comes out of AintItCoolNews at this point. Primarily it's because Harry Knowles once wrote the most glowing, positive fanboy review of all time and it was for a little film called Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. And then of course the nail in... Read More
The merchandising effort for Star Trek into Darkness is coming into full swing with the film's release just a little over a month away. And what's a franchise without a video game? And what's William Shatner without a way to sell out? So why not combine the two of them in order to form a more perfect... Read More
