by Jill Pantozzi | 4:01 pm, September 3rd, 2012

Just yesterday we told you Joss Whedon’s The Avengers pushed past the $1.5 billion dollar mark for global ticket sales. Today, we’ve found out Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has officially become the 11th film to cross the billion dollar mark. Theater owners must be very happy, right? Wrong. Apparently 2012 has had the worst summer for ticket sales since 1993.

Mr. Wizard: Master of Science and Crotchetiness

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 1:17 pm, July 19th, 2012

Watch Mr. Wizard, a science education program that ran during the 50s and 60s, purported to teach children about the “science behind ordinary things.” But, if you’re like me and you’ve never saw the program, this fan cut video might lead you to believe it was just a show about an old guy being, well, kind of a dick to children. Then again, maybe I wouldn’t have given up on organic chemistry in college if Mr. Wizard had been there to correct my every move.

Debunked Rumor of the Day: The Exorcist TV Miniseries

by Susana Polo | 11:59 am, May 30th, 2012

Jamie is our resident horror lover, but she’s busy at the moment, so it falls to me to write this post, having never seen The Exorcist but having seen Repossessed, the Leslie Nielsen vehicle that featured Linda Blair of The Exorcist. Meanwhile, Jamie is trying to pretend she never saw me make this reference.

Such is the love between coworkers.

Anyway, last weekend rumors were flying that The Exorcist would be returning to screens. Small ones, anyway, as a 10-episode miniseries backed by Sean Durkin of Martha Marcy May Marlene, and Roy Lee of The Ring and The Departed. But like many things that seem too good to be true, it also was too good to be true.

U.S. Women’s Professional Soccer Permanently Suspends League

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:48 am, May 21st, 2012

Late last year we brought you news of the imminent demise of Women’s Professional Soccer in the Unites States. The cause was the loss of several teams in the league, which according to US Soccer rules, meant they would no longer have Division 1 status. The hope was they would find new teams to bring their numbers back up but after canceling the 2012 season, their hopes were never realized. It’s now been officially anounced, Women’s Professional Soccer is no more.

NBC Drops Dan Harmon As the Showrunner of Community

by Jamie Frevele | 11:17 am, May 21st, 2012

Probably time to break out the old “creative differences” chestnut — Dan Harmon, showrunner of Community, revealed that he has been unceremoniously fired from the show he created days after its third season finale and not long after news of its renewal. NBC has replaced him with David Guarascio and Moses Port, and Harmon will still be called upon as a “consulting producer.” And apparently, all the official dealings took place behind closed doors, without Harmon, which has left Harmon wondering “Hey, did I miss anything?”

Woman Sues Vodka Company Since Her Image Wasn’t Meant For Their Nasty Ad

by Jamie Frevele | 1:57 pm, April 2nd, 2012

An even skeevier development from the “Belvedere Vodka rapey” ad front: The woman featured in the ad, Alicyn Packard, is now suing the company for using her image. Why? Because for one thing, the image comes from a video featuring Packard that was never meant to be used for another company’s advertisement; it’s a screenshot from a sketch that appeared on Strickly Viral. For another, no one bothered to get Packard’s permission to use her image for this highly questionable ad in the first place, because it’s not as if she posed for a stock photo that could have ended up anywhere, even without her direct consent. So, let it be known: companies can go find a video online — any video — take a screenshot, put it in a horribly different context, and expect to get away with it. Well, that’s great.
