Things I’ve learned from Teen Wolf this week: Teenage wereboys can really rock a scarf. Don’t go camping. Work ethic is dangerous. Oh, and apparently virgin sacrifice is still a thing.

This week’s episode is called “Fireflies,” so excuse me while I banish images of Nathan Fillion and Owl City from my brain.

I try and convince pretty much everyone I know to watch MTV’s Teen Wolf. Ask Susana and Jill and they’ll tell you. It’s a problem. Needless to say, I’m insanely excited for the premiere of season three tonight. The previous finale left our heroes in a rough place, with one crisis averted only for another, in the form of a mysterious pack of alpha werewolves, appearing right on its furry heels.

So here, in anticipation of 24 glorious episodes of drama, violence, romance, angst, and Derek Hale jumping off things, are Eight Things We’re Looking Forward To In Season Three of Teen Wolf.

Break out your scrunchies and reattach your Tamagotchi to your keychains, fellow nerds: Scream and Johnny Mnemonic are coming back, this time as TV shows.

To be fair, it seems MTV has already decided Catwoman is a hero, they’re just looking for confirmation from you. But she does have competition. You can vote for who will go home with the Best Hero Award at the MTV Movie Awards here. We’d love to see Selina win because we know she’s a good egg but looks like either Bilbo or Snow White already have it in the bag.

Okay, you might want to be sitting down when I tell you this, but I watched Mean Girls for the first time a couple weekends ago. I was pretty well acquainted with… well, nearly every single line in the movie from having read the internet, although I got a good laugh out of “Four for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco,” as it was just about the only quote in there that I hadn’t known was from Mean Girls. But I decided it was probably time to actually experience the movie, and stop trying to absorb it only from cultural diffusion.

So yeah, I knew next to nothing about Mean Girls other than that a lot of parts of the internet that I respect and enjoy are obsessed with quoting it and that it’s about high school, not, for example, that it was written by Tina Fey. Rest assured, these gaping holes in my knowledge have been filled, and so now I completely understand how against the message of the film it is for MTV to bleep a wide swath of non-curse-words, including “vagina,” when it aired on the network this weekend… but not “whore” or “slut.”

Last night at the MTV Movie Awards, Christian Bale joined director Christopher Nolan and co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman onstage as they looked back at their time telling the story of Batman/Bruce Wayne before bidding it a final farewell in The Dark Knight Rises. They showed a montage that included moments featuring the late Heath Ledger, and it caused Bale to become pretty emotional. And then, they looked to the (near) future and premiered new footage from the third and final movie. You can check that out after the jump. UPDATE: Warner Bros. has asked several bloggers, including us, to remove the footage due to copyright infringement. We hope MTV stops making it available to embed if no one is allowed to embed their content.

Man alive, if I was ever more gloriously confused by a headline than I was by this one, I can’t remember when it was. MTV, who has been delving into scripted territory with shows like Teen Wolf, has announced that it’s developing a series based on the Scream movies. The franchise was successful when it hit theaters in the late ’90s, then tried making a comeback last year with a new sequel (which was awesome, but no one saw it). So, here’s the question: Is this a good idea? Or the best idea? Or is it only the best idea if we pretend it’s 1997?

Is MTV making an important statement with one of their MTV Movie Award categories? I don’t find myself watching much MTV these days (I long for actual music videos), so this particular story was only in my peripheral. But since I follow the official Hunger Games Twitter account I knew Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss was up for “Best Hero” at this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Yes, Best Hero, not Best Female Hero, not Best Heroine. Interesting.

So, this is happening. Wizard World Inc. has joined with Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino of MTV’s The Jersey Shore fame to create a series of superhero comics with his family. The superhero in question will be based on the Situation. You don’t want to read on, but you’re compelled to, even if it’s only to see how far into the story I get before I have a complete meltdown.
