Same here... Bardem would've been great.

Bit gutted that Superman got pushed back.

The more roles Vincent Cassel gets, the better off we all are.

It should be news that Archer is coming back for 3 episodes in the fall. Because that's amazing.

Also, Pacific Rim is gonna kill.

absolutely that will be awesome . I have missed him on TV for a long time

The Paranormal Activity teasers always reel me in. FUCK.

yeah love john goodman and community. Should be a win.

not sure a boba fett movie would be all that great. They simplified his origin and role in episodes 2 and 3. That character was better left a mystery as it stood from the original trilogy.

sorry I didn't add to the news this or last week but I got married this past sunday (24th) so it's been a bit hectic. Then again you all did a great job as usual :)

Have you not watched Treme at all?

Also, I really like Alexander Skarsgard, so I hope that damn Battleship movie is better than the trailer for it.

John Goodman on community? That can only be great.

He is perfect in Red State.

After last season of Dexter, im not too excited for this new one.
