If this is the definition of Crazy Cat Lady, count me in. In case you need a primer, DeviantArtist caanantheartboy hooks you up:
Behind the couch: Krazy Kat, Azrael (Smurfs), Bill the Cat, Felix, MAD Cat (with a Hello Kitty doll), Top Cat and Snowball II. On (and above) the couch: Streaky (who is orange, yes. My bad!) Mooch (Mutts), Stimpy, Mr Kat (Kid vs Kat), Sylvester, Puss in Boots, Figaro. The rest: Tom, Simon’s Cat, Nermal, Garfield, Penelope, O’Malley, Marie (I wasn’t gonna do ALL the Aristocats!), Horse (Footrot Flats), the Cheshire Cat, and Bucky and Scratchy behind Batman. The posters are That Darn Cat and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. (I also could have done The Cat from Outer Space, Le Chat Noir, and many others. Space restrictions!) The framed ‘cat man’ is Blacksad. The record is of course Josie and the Pussycats and the book, which has become illegible from the scanning, is Jennie, by Paul Gallico. (I believe it may be called ‘The Abandoned’ in the US?) It’s about a girl who turns in to a cat. My dad read it to me and my brother when we were kids.

Part of me forgot Joss Whedon was already in the thick of planning The Avengers 2. Perhaps it’s because we’ve been focused on developments as they pertain to Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. lately. Regardless, the director recently discussed how things are going with that highly-anticipated film.

If you haven’t heard of the upcoming Tom Cruise movie Oblivion, let me just say this – it kind of looks like WALL-E. So it’s no surprise YouTuber Giant Mimosas decided to lay the audio from the Oblivion trailer on top of WALL-E footage. And it’s kind of perfect.

Even though I’m pretty sure the cats are only doing this so they can have all the socks to themselves, it comforts me to know mine might be protecting me while I slumber. Especially from tiny strike forces.

Tomorrow morning the 2013 Oscar nominations will be announced, but today we’re focusing our attention on the Razzies, which have honored (well, “honored”) the worst achievements in film since 1981. Judging by the noms alone, Razzie voters seem to have already picked their least favorite film of the year: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which was nominated 11 times in 10 categories.
I’d question what the Razzies will do now that there are no more Twilight movies to nominate (THANK. YOU. GOD.), but it’s not like there’s any shortage of awful movies without sparkly vampires in them. Still, the Razzies should give the franchise a lifetime achievement award or something.

While watching your favorite television show in the last year or so, you might have noticed an added distraction at the bottom of your screen – Twitter hashtags. While companies have been trying to capitalize on the success of the social media giant to varying degrees, a new joint venture between Twitter and the Nielsen Company will mark a new era in marketing. They’ve come up with the “Nielsen Twitter TV Rating.”

Warner Bros. has responded to reports that the way The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was shot—in 3D with a high frame rate (HFR)—is making some moviegoers sick. The gist of what they have to say? “What? No it doesn’t. Look, the movie’s in 48fps. Deal with it.”

We’ve seen remarkably few pictures from the set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which is pretty unusual this day and age, but then I thought it would probably just be a lot of green screen anyway. The cast and crew are filming in Atlanta, Georgia currently but the plot of Suzanne Collins’ second book requires a completely different look. But we’ve just found out, instead of trying to transform Atlanta, Catching Fire is now headed to Hawaii. Those who’ve read the books can probably figure out why but spoilers for the reason are ahead.

There was a flurry of thoughts that came along with the announcement that Disney had bought LucasFilm for $4 billion. I’m sure you’ve had most of them by now. But there was one I completely forgot about and that was the future of the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. We now know it will end its run on the Cartoon Network, but will it continue elsewhere?
