Joss Whedon to Direct The Avengers, Project Clearly Doomed

Posted by JediLlama 142 days ago in Entertainment (http://www.filmschoolrejects.com)
Based on the track record of Joss Whedon in the world of television, film and other things that are visual and entertaining, it is likely that any project to which he becomes attached is going to go down in flames. It’s not a quality thing — Whedon’s work has deservedly brought geeks together, pickets in hands and passion on sleeves. It’s more of a luck thing. Whedon — in a way that is only rivaled by the streak of Arrested Development’s Mitch Hurwitz — seems doomed to have everything he does canceled before it reaches its prime.

ComicsAlliance's Twilight Drinking Game

Posted by JediLlama 168 days ago in Entertainment (http://www.comicsalliance.com)
Let's face facts here, folks: "Twilight" is not very good, but at this point, if you want to keep your fingers on the pulse of the pop culture community, familiarity with it is almost a requirement. That's why we've taken it upon ourselves to combine the first installment of the Twilight saga with the one thing that might almost get it to make sense: heavy drinking! Just pour a glass of your favorite adult beverage and read along, but be warned: If you actually do this, you will probably die, and you will definitely remember less about the book when it's over than when you started.
