| Discuss: Who Should Follow Judd Apatow As a Guest Writer for 'The Simpsons'? Posted: 08 Jan 2015 11:00 PM PST When you've been around as long as The Simpsons, you eventually have to find new ways of keeping the show fresh. After 25 years, one additional trick is the idea of having a guest writer. Actually, it's only sort of new, because while Judd Apatow is the credited pen behind this Sunday's episode of the series, he wrote the thing as a spec script back in 1990. At the time, he was a young comedian trying to break into Hollywood, and it didn't pan out just then. He never heard back on the submission. Now that Apatow is a big deal, it's been polished and finally produced. Regardless of the back story here, it would be interesting for The Simpsons to occasionally let more big names write special episodes. The show has been a great place for guest...

| The Geek Beat: The Geekiest 2015 Movies We're Anticipating the Most Posted: 08 Jan 2015 09:30 PM PST Last week's column looked back at the best movies of the year, and this week it's time to look ahead to the films that will be competing for your attention in 2015. Along with sequels to some of the most successful franchises in Hollywood history, this year's slate of films also includes some high-profile reboots, compelling original films, and intriguing indie projects. And although 2015 isn't going to be the blockbuster showdown that it was shaping up to be a year ago when Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars: Episode VII, Batman v Superman, Jurassic World and Warcraft were all on the calendar, this year is still going to be a massive one for geek-friendly movie fare. Looking at this year's calendar of premieres, here's what I'm most excited... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| The Last Horror Blog: 'It Follows' Stalks a Release Date, Plus: 'Insidious 3,' 'Neon Demon' and More Posted: 08 Jan 2015 07:14 PM PST Welcome to The Last Horror Blog, a biweekly column on all things horror.

| You'll Love This: Watch 'Guardians' Director James Gunn Perform the Baby Groot Dance Posted: 08 Jan 2015 05:30 PM PST Hands down, the throwaway gag of 2014 belongs to Baby Groot at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy. The scene, which featured a baby version of Groot dancing to the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" quickly became one of the film's most talked-about moments and even went on to inspire a line of various Baby Groot toys. Watch the scene below. The most fascinating part about this moment, though, is how it originated. The actual dance Groot performs was modeled after the film's director James Gunn. Here's what he told Yahoo a few months back: “Baby Groot dancing is 100 percent me. I was too embarrassed for anyone to be there, so I made everyone leave the room and I set up a camera and I videotaped myself dancing. Then I sent the video to the...

| A New Website Will Help You Dress Exactly Like Your Favorite Movie and TV Characters Posted: 08 Jan 2015 04:00 PM PST Whether you want to boost your style on a daily basis or get a head start on this year's Halloween costume ideas, a new website will help you dress like your favorite movie and TV characters. It's called Spylight, and it first assesses the look of anyone from Ron Burgundy of Anchorman to the lovers from the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey, then it grabs outfits and accessories from various online retailers and lumps them together for your shopping ease. Spylight is brand new and still in its Beta phase, so don't expect to find everything you want just yet. My first instinct, for instance, was to seek out Ferris Bueller's iconic look, but nothing came up. This isn't exactly a costume shop, and even when you look at its pages for Captain America: The Winter... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 'Lego Movie' Directors Reveal Some Awesome Details About the Sequel Posted: 08 Jan 2015 02:30 PM PST Now that you've watched The Lego Movie enough times that you've found yourself singing "Everything Is Awesome" in the shower on many occasions, it's time to start turning your attention to what's next -- and in the case of the Lego Movie franchise, we're looking at at least four upcoming movies: Lego Ninjago (9/23/16), The Lego Batman Movie (5/26/17), The Lego Movie 2 (5/25/18) and an Untitled Lego Movie (5/24/19).

| Its "Unusual Behavior" Has Earned 'Fifty Shades of Grey' This Rating Posted: 08 Jan 2015 01:20 PM PST If you know anything about Fifty Shades of Grey, then you know it's a bit of a sensual story. There's sex, there's nudity and there's a bit of a kinky factor wrapped around its story of a shy college student (Dakota Johnson) who develops a fascinatingly freakish relationship with 27-year-old billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). So of course you're wondering how far the movie (due in theaters February 13) goes in terms of portraying some of the steamier aspects of the book, and according to the MPAA's rating it would seem the film definitely honors those parts of the book that have already earned it millions of fans worldwide. Fifty Shades of Grey has officially been given an R rating for "strong sexual content including dialogue, some unusual...
