Ten reasons why 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' kicks ass
20 May 2013 3:36 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
It’s been 10 years since Buffy and the Scooby Gang defeated The First, leaving Sunnydale nothing but an imploded crater. Buffy the Vampire Slayer — Joss Whedon’s cult series about the slayer and her ragtag team of friends — aired its final episode on May 20, 2003. In honor of this anniversary, here are 10 reasons why Buffy kicks ass.
10. The Killer Wardrobe
Buffy Summers (Sarah Michele Gellar) knows how to stake vamps in style. From her midriff-baring tops to her platform heels, her late ’90s and early aughts’ wardrobe always adds flair to her night job.
9. The Emotional Moments

What’s So Marvel About The New Agents Of Shield Trailer?
19 May 2013 1:18 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Joss Whedon’s a pretty amazing writer when it comes to super-heroes. His too-brief stint on The Astonishing X-Men (and yes, I count 25 issues as too brief when the books were as fantastic as his were; try the motion-comic versions on various streaming services if you can’t get your hands on the books) almost a decade ago demonstrated showed that the guy was not only well-versed in comic book history, but he understood how to use that knowledge of characters and their respective histories and relationships to craft what is arguably the best X-Men run since Claremont/Byrne.
Then the man did the near-impossible by bringing Marvel’s The Avengers to the screen in a way that appealed to not only the geeks, but given its box office take, apparently athletes, basket cases, princesses and criminals too. Given the overwhelming number of moving parts in the script (like trying »

Sci-fi tribes: from Trekkies to Browncoats
16 May 2013 8:18 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
After police were called to break up Star Wars and Doctor Who enthusiasts at the Norwich Sci-Fi and Film convention, it's best to know your fandoms to avoid similar intergalactic clashes
The fourth annual Norwich Sci-Fi and Film convention should have been a peaceful affair. A day where Star Wars fans could mingle with like-minded enthusiasts, meet the man who played Bossk and perhaps discuss the event's generous £1 all-day parking offer without any hint of trouble. But then the Doctor Who fans showed up, and all hell broke loose. Police were called to break up the warring sci-fi tribes after one of them reportedly shouted, "I'll knock your fucking head off" at a rival following a dispute about a Cyberman autograph. It was a mess.
There's only one way to stop a tragedy like this from happening again, and that's to understand the complexities and rabid passions of each of these tribes. »

Roger Sterling is Going to Get to Direct Philip Seymour Hoffman In ‘God’s Pocket’
15 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Seeing as he’s one of the senior partners at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce ad agency, John Slattery’s Mad Men character, Roger Sterling, is very used to being in charge of a crew of people. And now that Slattery himself has directed four episodes of the acclaimed show on which he acts, he too is starting to get a feel for being in charge. It makes sense, then, that he would eventually want to put his leadership skills to the test and make the step up to directing a feature film, and Deadline is reporting that he’s all set to do just that. The film is called God’s Pocket, and it’s an adaptation of a Pete Dexter novel about a blue collar neighborhood that Slattery co-adapted alongside Alex Metcalf. More than even its director or the content of its story though, God’s Pocket is notable because of the outstanding cast that it »

Get Teased By Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
14 May 2013 1:55 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Comic book junkies, action fans and Whedonites unite! Its time to Marvel in the geeky glow of the very first Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division teaser trailer. Confused? Let me give you the acronym. It’s time for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
You loved Thor, Captain America, Marvel’s Avengers and Iron Man 3, so its time to take the action to the small screen. Creator and director Joss Whedon, made famous by shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse, is back, ready to nab a new generation of fans.
Now, this is a teaser, so by definition, it doesn’t reveal very much. One thing is for sure, Agent Phil Coulson is back! Acted by funnyman Clark Gregg, the character was killed by Loki in Avengers on the big screen, but he seems to be running things for Nick Fury in this trailer. Apparently his personal vehicle has name. »

Agent Coulson lives! What other dead characters would you revive for TV shows?
14 May 2013 1:13 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
ABC has officially ordered the Avengers spinoff Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for its fall schedule. The show won’t actually feature too many characters from Avengers — with one rather notable exception. As Marvel godfather Joss Whedon announced many months ago, the show will feature the return of Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson. Of course, as we all know, Coulson appeared to die in The Avengers. And by “appeared to die” I mean “Yes, of course, they could have faked his death, but we saw blood running out of his mouth, and his death formed the emotional core of the film’s third act. »

Morena Baccarin Is Pregnant, Expecting First Child With Austin Chick

Looks like Claire Danes' 5-month-old baby boy will soon have a playmate on the Homeland set. Danes' costar Morena Baccarin is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Austin Chick, her rep confirms to Us Weekly. Baccarin, 33, stars on the Showtime series as Jessica Brody, the betrayed wife of retired Marine Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis). Her onscreen marriage is less than perfect, but her real-life relationship with dad-to-be Chick, a director, is solid. "You have to talk...a lot. Which guys love," the Firefly alum joked to [...] »
My inspiration for The Liability: Cohen and Tate and its brilliant screenwriter
14 May 2013 4:44 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A British hitman movie, starring Tim Roth, owes a debt to a little-known 1980s Us noir thriller, superbly crafted by Eric Red, which deserves to be better known
Twenty years ago, when I first started reading credits of movies I loved to see who'd written the screenplay, one name leapt out at me: Eric Red. In the space of three years in the late 1980s he wrote the terrifying Rutger Hauer road movie The Hitcher and two brilliant genre movies for a young director called Kathryn Bigelow: the trailer-trash vampire movie Near Dark, and Blue Steel, a feminist cop movie with Jamie Lee Curtis as a rookie up against an amorous serial killer. The first two of those have gone on to become bona fide cult classics. But Red remains little known – as does the film of his I really loved, one he wrote and directed in 1988, Cohen and Tate. »
Joss Whedon officially joins Twitter
13 May 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Joss Whedon might be beloved on the worldwide web, but he's not savvy in all things Internet. Still, the man who brought us "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" has taken the dive to bring us all daily entertainment: He's joined Twitter as @JossActual.
"It's me! Joss! My own account! No more hiding under studio skirts! I'm Free! @MuchAdoFilm @AgentsofSHIELD @Marvel @roadsidetweets #free," he posts as his first tweet.
At press time, Whedon has only tweeted three times and has amassed over 56,000 followers. It seems as though he's still getting the hang of how the tweeting thing works, as he still hasn't replied to anyone -- though he does understand the power of a good hashtag.
"My account! I got strong opinions! I'm gettin' Political! (Heads up, Lemurs.) And making wry observations about mundane stuff! #airlines," he tweets. "I'm on a plane! I'm having tea! I'm wearing shoes! This is how twitter works, »

Geek auteur Joss Whedon has crafted beloved cult TV shows, endearingly low-budget experiments which prominently feature Nathan Fillion, and also that one ridiculously popular movie about witty-banter action figures. But now, Whedon is embarking on his most exciting and dangerous journey yet. As of about nine hours ago, Whedon has joined Twitter, with the handle @JossActual. (Although not yet Twitter Verified, the account has been Sister-In-Law Verified.) Whedon is already busy with a wide variety of projects — Avengers 2, Agents of Shield, the impending release of Much Ado About Nothing, the Firefly reboot you keep trying to will into existence, the »

Joss Whedon Laughs In The Face Of Your Paltry $100 Million For The Avengers 2
13 May 2013 7:54 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Proving that he is nothing if not a hubristic shell of a man, Joss Whedon (director of The Avengers, third highest-grossing film of all time) has taken to his blog to respond to embarrassing rumours that he is due to receive a cool $100 million for The Avengers 2, the original of which made $1.5 billion worldwide.
In a comment on a blog post for international Joss Whedon portal Whedonesque, dedicated to all things weird and Whedonful, the writer/director opined in a board comment:
Some facts are not facts. I’m not going to go into the whole thing, but jeepers, I’m not getting $100 mil on Avengers 2. If I were, I would come on this site and laugh and laugh and laugh. I’m not making Downey money. I’m making A Lot, which is exciting. I’m not pretending to be a poor farmer, an Everyman, an ANYman. But that number is nuts. »

ABC Officially Green Lights Agents of Shield for Fall Season
10 May 2013 8:59 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
It’s not a big surprise but it’s finally official that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will be a weekly network series on ABC starting this fall.
Joss Whedon--Marvel’s new master-planner for their cinematic universe--is now also helping Marvel conquer TV land. His 2-hour pilot film for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was well received by ABC and has been approved for the fall line-up. Whedon will now jump into production on further episodes. The spin-off from the Avengers film, based on the comic book spy organization, is a highly anticipated show, which will have an X-Files or Fringe-like premise, about a group of human government agents who defend the world against super-powered menaces.
The premise…’Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as »

Watch: Agents Of Shield Viral Teaser Video Features The Hulk
10 May 2013 2:37 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Alongside news that ABC has decided to pick up Marvel’s TV spin-off Agents of Shield comes the briefest of video teases for the show, which is due to debut this Fall.
ABC’s YouTube page briefly posted the below video before pulling it, meaning it was either an accident or a cagey way to drum up interest in the mystique of the show. The viral video shows blurry, distant footage of The Incredible Hulk (or as some have speculated, possibly The Abomination) causing mayhem, during what appears to be their stand-off from the 2008 Edward Norton-starring The Incredible Hulk. A logo on the right-hand side of the screen reads “Rising Tide” – who, or what, exactly, does this mean?
All Vids Seem To Have Been Removed From Youtube!
Though this is likely just a tease to get people more interested in the series, could it be an indication of the wider plan, »
