Today everyone seems a bit peeved with Armond White of the New York Press for this review he wrote of Toy Story 3 claiming that the film was nothing more than a cheap attempt at consumerism, saying that the fans had basically been duped into believing this movie was worth it. Unfortunately for Armond White, he is wrong. He is so wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. Wrong. Never mind how he’s ignoring the amount of time, work, and patience it took to get to this point, never mind how good the script is and how much it works to satisfy those who have had faith in Pixar all along, and never mind the fact that it was the perfect cap on a series I’ve been enjoying since I was about seven years old. Never mind all of that. As soon as the name Barbie is uttered once, it becomes a colossal advertisement. The amount that is wrong with that is mind-boggling.
Futurama is going to be back on the air in 
Variant covers that is. Throughout this month certain Iron Man releases, and one Avengers book, are getting variant covers by guest artists. They’re calling the variants Design 2.0. The above image is my personal favorite and was done by Pixar story-board artist Bill Pressing. The cover is depicting WWII era Iron Man and will go on sale June 23rd. Keep reading to see the other three.
This teaser trailer is a little weird. It’s actually, according to Paramount, not even a teaser trailer. It’s an ‘announcement event’. OK? This film is directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Johnny Depp, their first project together since Pirates of the Caribbean.The only info anyone has on the plot is that it’s the story of a chameleon with an identity crisis.
Voltron is coming back. The rights holders, World Events Productions & Classic Media have announced a deal with Mattel and Nickelodeon to produce both a show and a new toy line.
Aw yeah, it’s the Thundercats, ho! Finally, after a long period of just sitting around, the Thundercats franchise returns next year with a new show on Cartoon Network. No, I haven’t fallen prey to delusions that the cartoon will look half as good as the first promo image, but I will in fact allow myself to become blissfully unaware of how bad it could potentially be. I will remain in the middle, assuming it’ll be a fun cartoon I’ll watch sometimes. But I want this to be badass so much, you have no idea. I’m picturing so many potentially good things. Mainly the idea of the first season ending on a colossal sword fight between Lion-O and Mumm-Ra. Something involving incredible magic and outstanding combat wherein not even sight beyond sights can help the young leader.
