Oz the Great and Powerful Only Comes Out Today, But Disney Already Has a Sequel Planned. Because Of Course They Do.

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:00 am, March 8th, 2013

I don’t know why I’m even surprised by this.

No, Thank You. I Do Not Want A Taxidermy Rancor Head On My Wall.

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:20 am, January 8th, 2013

So this is obviously photoshopped but the idea remains. Would you hang a rancor head on your wall if they existed outside the Star Wars universe? What about a Wampa, Tauntau, or Bantha? I do, however, own a Tauntaun sleeping bag. Which is perfectly acceptable and not gross.

The actor will be playing Norman Bates. The rest on that disturbing news plus who will play his brother (his brother!?) after the jump.

Real-Life Deadpool Just Trying to Be Nice, Is Nothing Like Comic Deadpool

by Jamie Frevele | 3:59 pm, May 28th, 2011

We at TMS like to keep tabs on the international real-life superhero movement, so nothing saddens us more than when a real-life superhero is just not needed. Actually, that might be a good thing, if that means there is a lack of crime to stop. But that still leaves someone with unrealized dreams of bringing justice to their community. Like Deadpool. Or, at least a guy who decide to use the name “Deadpool” instead of coming up with his own name.

Eating Diapers to Save the Planet

by Jamie Frevele | 1:14 pm, April 26th, 2011

Sometimes, I think environmentalists get a bad rap for trying to tell us to change our less-than-environmentally-friendly habits. They’re only trying to keep the planet clean and not turn it into the garbage dump we had to evacuate in Wall-E. But now I understand why they get that bad rap: bad ideas. It has been discovered that one thing capable of breaking down the cellulose used to make disposable diapers (which takes forever to biodegrade) is a kind of mushroom. And one scientist is proposing that we grow those mushrooms in dirty diapers and eat them.

MTV’s Teen Wolf Series: Nothing Like The Movie [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 12:29 pm, March 30th, 2011

MTV has been developing a series based on the movie Teen Wolf, which was a comedy that starred King of the ’80s Michael J. Fox as a totally ’80s teenager who turns into a werewolf upon reaching puberty (in the ’80s), and everyone thinks he’s totally rad. But the MTV series wanted to have “a greater emphasis on romance, horror and werewolf mythology,” so has none of those things in it, except for a teenager who turns into a werewolf. So, you’d think that MTV would just call it Moody Werewolf Teenager instead, because that’s what this seems to be about. I have a few issues with this.

Anna Chapman Wants to Design… Spacesuits?

by Susana Polo | 12:37 pm, February 17th, 2011

Anna Vasil’yevna Chapman, a member of the group of Russian spies who were uncovered in suburban New Jersey last year, has been mounting a serious publicity campaign in Russia, and who can blame you, really?  It’s probably pretty hard to get a job when you so spectacularly and publicly failed at your last one, and so we can’t really blame her for taking the “hot spy” label that was placed on her and running with it.  But…

“Chapman told me that she intends to participate in designing clothing for the Khrunichev [Space] Center, in what capacity, designer or financially, she did not specify,” the Gagarin Astronaut Training Center’s top astronaut told Russian state media today.

We’ve made a pledge to report on women doing good work in the field of science, but this probably falls more under the heading of “stop it, you’re making my side look bad.”
