the best-ever take on Alpha Flight (and X-Men too, I guess)

The Chief was electrocuted at the end of the last season.  So, who knows if he's alive?

I was on Youtube over the weekend and noticed somebody uploaded the broadcast-once-and-never-again April Fools' versions of every episode, modified to look like a VHS dupe with bad Engrish fansubs. Adult Swim is the master of putting valuable human effort into the stupidest ideas imaginable.

I'm gonna assume "Stefan Urkelle" is a really weird typo for "Buddy Love," because otherwise it's too depressing to think about

@waxlion:disqus The Hercules/Xena Experience actually replaced the Murder: She Wrote one. It closed in 1999 and they apparently left the area unused until they put the Transformers ride up in the same location. The Kong ride in Orlando was closed in 2002 and replaced with a Mummy-themed ride that's still going. The…

Sony's licensors are spending $150 million on tie-in advertising, a.k.a. "promo support" or "marketing support." So if I have a fruit drink with the Smurfs on the bottle and I spend $5 million marketing my drink this summer, that's $5 million out of the $150m in "marketing support." That's not $5 million going…

Alternate headline: "Potentially pleasant surprise ruined by contemporary culture of leaks," THANKS A LOT SNOWDEN

Greenlighting a $200 million movie based on expected performance in a country where studios have no control over release dates, releases are shuffled or canceled due to unrelated political disputes (cf. a Detective Conan movie getting axed and Resident Evil: Retribution getting pushed back six months because the…

pretty sure you're thinking of Jason Sudeikis, in any case Helms was definitely not in that movie

An Underwater Ultramax Prison.

Dredd actually came out in China. It made about half of what Pacific Rim did on Wednesday alone.

That seriously hurt the action scenes, which were supposed to be the main selling point and are the thing everyone seems to be flipping out about. Besides the brilliant decision to set them all at nighttime or the bottom of the goddamn ocean, the fights are brought down by almost all following the same tiresome…

There is some pretty furious spinning going on here, though I wouldn't expect anything less from Deadline. Given the studio's cut from China is 25%, WB/Legendary were never going to take home much less than $15 million (even Star Trek Into Darkness managed that), and judging from the opening day, the ceiling is…

It's "Warner Brothers' biggest opening day in China." The overall record-holder is Iron Man 3, which did about $20 million by opening on a holiday. Of course, WB's former record-holder (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2) came out two years ago, when the market was considerably smaller—overall box office…

@avclub-e5b4d5a1803a9d833d999f06c9ca7467:disqus There was also a really great Myxyzptlk/Bat-Mite crossover called "World's Funnest" by Evan Dorkin and like a dozen different artists

wow, they really upgraded the production values for the Trash Humpers sequel

Texas has had a few all-Beatles stations over the years. The one I remember was a Dallas station called "Fab 105" that was run by one guy with a computer. He didn't take any advertising because it was all about the MUSIC, or something. It lasted seven months and became a gospel station.

Walt finally tries the Blue Sky and ascends to god tier

if I had a dime for every time I've heard someone say "what this country really needs is a distaff spin on American Pie," I'd have fifteen cents
