Watching Clone Wars. Just started the second season. It's really good so far, and I hear it only gets better with each season.

Cad Bane is fucking awesome. Really like Ashoka too. Anakin is much better in this than he ever was in the films.

This show is way darker than I thought it would be. I think more people died in the first season than every cartoon I watched as a kid combined.

Similar to The Walking Dead tv show, Game of Thrones will be getting its own special weekly recap show starting later this month.

With the premiere of Game of Thrones season six just a few weeks away, HBO has now announced a new "after show" for the fantasy program. It's being headed up by talent from sports and entertainment veteran Bill Simmons' new network The Ringer, which HBO partnered with in 2015.

The new show, called After the Thrones, is similar to AMC's Talking Bad and Talking Dead, in that hosts will recap and analyze the events of the latest episode. The show will air the Mondays after new episodes through HBO Go, HBO Now, and HBO On Demand, as well as via traditional cable at a later date.

Andy Greenwald and Chris Ryan, who previously worked on the Game of Thrones podcast Watch the Thrones at Grantland, will host the show.

"Each week, After the Thrones will recap the latest episode, explaining the who, what, when and where, exploring the complicated politics and history of Thrones, and offering absurd and not-so-absurd theories about future episodes," HBO said in a news release.

Simmons is an executive producer for After the Thrones.

Yeah, it's a pretty great piece for the Star Wars canon. 100 times better than the crappy prequel movies. When you finish it up you should definitely check out Rebels too. It's every bit as good in my opinion if not more so.

Haven't watched Clone Wars in awhile.... somewhere near the end of season 4 I think.... I don't even remember....

Should pick it up again... because it was indeed good stuff...

Netflix expected to increase subscription prices starting next month and mainly targets those "grandfathered" into lower rates.

New rate is expected to be $10 per month for all users.

Millions of Netflix users will soon need to pay more to stream their favorite TV shows and movies. Starting in May, Netflix will raise the price of its standard, two-stream plan to $10/month for subscribers who were previously "grandfathered" in to a lower rate.

According to Business Insider, UBS analysts claim the change will impact 37 percent of US grandfathered subscribers, which comes out to around 17 million people. These people are currently paying $8/month and got to keep that rate when the price went up to $9/month and then again to $10/month.

This change is expected to catch millions by surprise. A JPMorgan survey cited by Business Insider says 80 percent of the 17 million subscribers affected by the update are not aware of the forthcoming change.

The price hike will go into effect for the grandfathered subscribers on May 10. You can visit your Netflix account page on Netflix.com to see if you are impacted.

Fox confirmed a sequel to Deadpool will be made along with key people related to the first film coming back for the new film.

Not that it's much of a surprise, but speaking today at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Fox confirmed that it is indeed making a sequel to 2016 R-rated smash hit Deadpool.

Co-chair Stacey Snider confirmed that star Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller will be back for the sequel, according to Deadline. It was already basically confirmed that Reynolds would return, but until now, it was unclear if Miller--who made his directorial debut with Deadpool--would also be back.

Rights for a live action Pokemon film is rumored to have been sold in a recent secret auction with Legendary studios as the winning bid.

The rights to a live-action Pokémon film are the focus of a Hollywood bidding war, according to unnamed sources who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter.

According to the report, The Pokémon Company has been looking for someone to make a big-budget Hollywood production out of their humble game series. Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Legendary Pictures are reportedly all interested in the rights, but Legendary, the same studio behind The Dark Knight and Jurassic World, has allegedly pulled ahead in the bidding process.

Theater chain AMC recently dropped a proposed idea to allow texting during films at some of their locations after receiving the huge negative backlash for the idea.

On paper, the idea was to get more young people to watch films at their theaters and would have been willing to drop their no phones/texting ban as a concession. Majority of people ended up hating the idea since it would lead to the possible of more interruptions during films.

I was just watching I,Robot with the girlfriend... and we both had the same question. I've seen this film before and remember specifically thinking this...

... was the chick originally going to be a robot too and they cut it out? Because her demeanor is robotic, she's cold, she's calculated, she doesn't blink in the film.
I feel like they cut this out of the film, or changed it near the end because we both immediately felt the same way.

My random thought of the day, ta ta.

The name of the next movie in Michael Bay's Transformers film franchise has been revealed, and it's titled Transformers: The Last Knight. Paramount Pictures Australia revealed the title alongside a short teaser, which you can watch in the embed below.

Not many details have been released about the film, other than it's scheduled to be released in June 2017. Production on the movie will kick off in June this year. It will be the fifth Transformers film in the movie series, which kicked off in 2007 with Transformers.

Earlier this year Paramount announced that it will be releasing a new Transformers movie every year until at least 2019. The studio confirmed the release dates for the next three movies: Transformers 6 is scheduled to debut on June 8, 2018, and Transformers7 will follow on June 28, 2019.

Netflix has officially ordered “GLOW” — that is, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling — straight to series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Orange is the New Black” creator Jenji Kohan will executive produce the series, which is based on the 1980s female wrestling league.

Set in Los Angeles, “GLOW” will follow “an out of work actress who finds one last attempt to live her dreams in the form of a weekly series about female wrestlers.” Though inspired by actual events, the series will be a fictionalized account. Co-created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, the “GLOW” remake — which has a 10-episode order — will be a half-hour comedy series.

The original series ran for four seasons from 1986-1990. Created by Matt Cimber, the show was based on Jackie Stallone’s women’s fitness gym Barbarella’s, where wrestler-turned-Hollywood stuntman Mando Guerrero was a trainer.

Kohan will executive produce with “Orange is the New Black” EP Tara Herrmann as well as Flahive and Mensch.

Ubisoft currently working on a new video game based film with The Division as the game picked. Would join Far Cry and Watch Dogs as films based on games currently in production by them.
It seems as if Ubisoft's plans run deeper than just video game aspirations, though. It wants to go cross-medium. According to an exclusive given to Variety, Ubisoft is working on a Division movie that stars Jake Gyllenhaal.

Although it has been unveiled, this project is very much in its early stages. Ubisoft is reportedly looking for a writer and has yet to shop it around to studios. All that's really known is the world it's set in, and that Gyllenhaal is involved as both a lead actor and as a producer.

According to reports, Disney is currently unhappy with the production of Star Wars: Rouge One to the point they already have a series of reshoots planned to happen next month.
The first “Star Wars” spinoff, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” is in crisis, and the movie will have to go into expensive reshoots over the summer, sources exclusively confirmed to Page Six.

The much-anticipated “Rogue One” is due for release on Dec. 16, but we’re told bosses at Disney are not fully satisfied with the first cut from director Gareth Edwards.

One Hollywood source told us, “The execs at Disney are not happy with the movie, and ‘Rogue One’ will have to go back into four weeks of expensive reshoots in July.”

... It was announced earlier this month that Edwards would not direct “Godzilla 2” later this year, and would instead “focus on smaller films.” But the movie insider told us, “Gareth’s work on the first ‘Godzilla’ [which came out in 2014] shows he can handle a big studio blockbuster. But ‘Rogue One’ has fallen short of what J.J. Abrams did with ‘Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens.’ So Disney has ordered reshoots.”

Edwards is well-known as a risk-taking director, but has also been reported to prefer to keep studio influence at a minimum. The source added, “Disney won’t take a back seat, and is demanding changes, as the movie isn’t testing well.”

Star Wars: The Force Awakens managed to break the all-time record for highest grossing domestic film in the US. Toppled the previous record holder, Avatar, by around $176 million.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has officially ended its theatrical run. The movie has now finished playing theaters, and is secure in its place as the most successful film ever released in North America.

As Collider reports, the film leaves cinemas with a box office total of $936.6 million, way ahead of its nearest rival, 2009's Avatar. The James Cameron sci-fi epic took $760.5 million.

In terms of all-time worldwide record, it managed to be 3rd and missed out toppling Titantic for the #2 spot by around $118 million.

JJ Abrams' Star Wars film wasn't able to beat Titanic's still-amazing take of $2.186 billion, while Avatar's $2.788 billion total puts it way out in front as the all-time number one. The Force Awakens earned $2.068 billion worldwide.

Critics and box office wise, Warcraft film ended up being a huge dud in the US but because of China, its on track to become the highest ever grossing video game film.

In the US, the Warcraft film can pretty much only been seen as a bomb -- at least when it comes to its opening weekend. It's expected to make $24.3 million at the box office this weekend (against a budget of $160 million, not including marketing), putting it soundly behind The Conjuring 2 at the #2 spot. But China is single-handedly saving the film.

As one of the most successful openings ever in that region it grossed $144.5 million, and broke multiple records in the process. Along with other countries worldwide, that places the Warcraft film at roughly $301 million during its opening week sprawl. That puts it well within reach of Prince of Persia, which is the highest grossing video game film ever at $336m worldwide.

Warcraft film recently passed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time as #1 box office gaming film of all-time.

Only reason is due to International and China since US-wise, its in the 17th all-time range. Also same reason why Angry Birds came close to toppling Prince of Persia film before Warcraft did.

With the worldwide box office topping $370 million, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft has stolen the title of top-grossing video game movie from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time ...

According to the figures at Box Office Mojo (via Gamespot), Warcraft currently sits at number 17 on the list of top-grossing domestic video game movies, far below number one Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’s $131 million or the more recent Angry Birds Movie, which has earned $103 million domestically.

Domestic, schlomestic. The real money is worldwide, and while the Angry Birds Movie $327 million global take came close to toppling Prince of Persia’s $336, Warcraft blew past it in less than a month.

Marvel and Fox are currently rumored to be talks for a cross-over film in regards to X-Men and Fantastic Four Fox currently owns for films. Would be similar in idea to Sony letting Spiderman appear in Captain America: Civil War.

Adding some fuel to the rumor being likely true is a recent deal signed by both Marvel and Fox in regards to X-Men characters for tv shows.
In addition, Marvel and Fox have already struck a deal over the use of X-Men properties on TV. Marvel has retained the small screen rights to those characters, and the upcoming FX show Legion will be a partnership between the two studios. Another Fox/Marvel show, Hellfire, is also in development.

InHumans (as they were expanded years ago) was Marvel's FU to Fox to begin with so they can use X-Men themes in their own expanded media. At least in the comics a big faceoff is inevitable, but it would be funny if the deal led to these groups meeting.

Apparently a Tetris film is currently in production and for some odd reason its going to be a trilogy of films and the creator implying nobody has an idea of what they are doing.

Similar to recent gaming films, also going to be targeting China as their big source of box office revenue.

One of the new Empire’s many scoops and exclusives includes a chat with the man who’s bringing the unlikely-sounding Tetris movie to the big screen, Larry Kasanoff ...

Is this, as rumours have suggested, designed as the first in a trilogy – or Tetr-ilogy, if you will – of Tetris movies? "That’s correct,” he confirms, “and purely because the story we conceived is so big. This isn’t us splitting the last one of our eight movies in two to wring blood out of the stone. It’s just a big story."

The filmmaker, whose CV includes Paul W.S. Anderson’s Mortal Kombat and an exec-producer credit on True Lies, is keen to stress that it won’t just involve anthropomorphised blocks doing battle. "We’re not going to have blocks with feet running around the movie,” he tells Empire, "but it’s great that people think so. It sets the bar rather low!”

The production, currently going by 'Untitled Tetris Sci-fi Project’ on IMDb, is conceived as exactly that. "We want the story to be a surprise, but it’s a big science-fiction movie,” Kasanoff reveals. “I came up with the idea as I was thinking about Tetris and the theme of creating order out of chaos."

Severeal film studios are currently in talks with Nintendo to get rights for a Pokemon film to be made.

In the past week, more heads have been turned on Rodeo Drive by elusive Pikachus than by Kardashians, so it’s no surprise that film studios are scrambling to lock down the rights to Pokémon Go. Currently rumored to be leading the pack, however, is the media company behind the Warcraft movie and The Dark Knight—Legendary Pictures.

According to Deadline, the company has been in talks with Nintendo to bring the pocket monsters to the big screen.

“Details are scant at this point, and no deal has been closed, but I am persuaded that it’s headed that way,” reads the report.

Writer of Thor and co-writer of Guardians of the Galaxy recently got hired to work on a Detective Pikachu film.

Last month The Pokémon Company and Legendary Entertainment reached a deal for a new film franchise based around Detective Pikachu. According to Variety, the project has found its writers, too: Nicole Perlman and Alex Hirsch.

Perlman worked on Thor and co-wrote Guardians of the Galaxy with director James Gunn. She's also writing the remake of Jim Henson (and David Bowie's) cult-classic Labyrinth, co-writing the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, and worked on the Black Widow movie that voice-of-Solid-Snake David Hayter is writing.

Hirsch is the creator of the Disney anime Gravity Falls.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ben Hur managed to become this year's biggest box office bomb with overall losses expected to be in the $120 million range.
Cost around $100 million to make not counting marketing and only brought in $54 million since release.

Bombed hard enough that MGM lowered their upcoming fiscal report as a result.

New Punisher series currently in production with the working title of "Crime." Also appears the Punisher will have a bearded look in terms of appearance if the recent teaser image from the set is any indication.

According to Comicbook.com, the Punisher show has a working title of Crime. It is unknown when the show will be released. Netflix already has Iron Fist scheduled for next March, while the superhero team-up show The Defenders--which will feature Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist--is expected in late 2017.

However, with the Punisher show now shooting and The Defenders yet to start production, it is possible that it will move ahead of The Defenders in Netflix's Marvel schedule. Iron Fist is the only upcoming series with a confirmed release date--a new teaser this week revealed that it will hit the streaming service on March 17, 2017.

Newest poster for upcoming King Kong film, Kong: Skull Island, was revealed to contain an Easter egg teasing possible connections to the Godzilla series.

Today, various movie sites got a new Kong: Skull Island poster in the mail, but it wasn’t just decoration for their walls. As the folks at CS discovered, the poster’s tagline to “Bring the Truth to Light” is quite literal. If you shine a black light on the poster, secrets will be revealed.

Specifically, the poster is covered with notations from the organization MONARCH, which you may recall was the secret government organization in 2014’s Godzilla. If you look closely at the photo, it appears to have some skeletal design of a creature, and near the bottom of the poster the following writing appears:

His mouth is fire; his roar the floodwater; his breath is death. Enlil made him guardian of the Cedar Forest, To frighten off the mortal who would venture there. BUT WHO WOULD VENTURE THERE?

As ScreenCrush discovered when they searched for “Enlil Cedar Forest”, they got a search result for “a brief history of Sumerian religion, but what’s important is that the Sumerian god Enlil created a monster named Humbaba to guard the Cedar Forest, the home of the gods, so that no human would try to get up to any shenanigans.”

Warner Bros is currently working on a reboot of Willy Wonka with the possibility of turning it into a series if its successful. Film itself would be a prequel in terms of storyline.

David Heyman will produce. Michael Siegel, who is the manager of the Dahl Estate, will exec produce along with Kevin McCormick. “The Secret Life of Pets” scribe Simon Rich is penning the script. Courtenay Valenti is overseeing the project for the studio.

Sources reveal that the film will not be an origin tale, but a standalone movie focused on Wonka and his early adventures. It’s unknown who from the original book series, other than Wonka, will be involved in the project. If the reboot is a hit, it seems likely that characters like Charlie could be seen in future installments of a possible franchise

Ben Affleck's Batman film currently rumored to be plagued with serious script issues according to recent reports.

The Ringer published a big piece today titled “Movies Aren’t Dead, but They’ll Never Be the Same” about the state of the movie industry, and one of the people they spoke to was Bret Easton Ellis. Ellis is best known as the author of the book “American Pyscho” (Christian Bale stared in the movie), and apparently he has some big Hollywood friends.

“I was having dinner with a couple of executives who know other executives who are working on the [forthcoming] Batman movie, The Batman,” Ellis told The Ringer.

“And they were just telling me that there are serious problems with the script. And that the executives I was having dinner with were complaining about people who work on the Batman movie. And they just said they went to the studio and they said, ‘Look, the script is … Here’s 30 things that are wrong with it that we can fix.’ And [the executives] said, ‘We don’t care. We don’t really care. The amount of money we’re going to make globally, I mean 70 percent of our audience is not going to be seeing this in English. And it doesn’t really matter, these things that you’re bringing up about the flaws of the script.’ So I do think global concerns play a big part in how movies, and what movies, are being made, obviously.”

Look, we know there are problems with the script. This past summer, Ben Affleck publicly stated that he’s not happy with it. But if everything Bret Easton Ellis said is true about Warner Bros. executives not caring, that’s very concerning! Could that be why Ben Affleck keeps saying “there is no Batman movie”, yet the movie is scheduled to begin shooting in the spring?

Hollywood Reporter and Marvel revealed some new details regarding the upcoming Inhumans tv show. Also plans for an Inhumans film have been dropped.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first season of The Inhumans will comprise of eight episodes. As Marvel announced last week, the show is a co-production with IMAX, and the first two episodes will get a worldwide release in IMAX theaters. They will run for two weeks from Labor Day 2017 (September 4) in 1,000 theaters in 74 countries, before making their small-screen debut on ABC. The TV versions will include extra footage.

These opening episodes will be shot entirely with IMAX cameras, while some of the action scenes in the other six will also use the large-format technology. IMAX itself approached Marvel with the idea, and are financing the first two episodes.

An Inhumans movie was first announced in 2014, but no longer appears on Marvel's schedule. The announcement was before the standalone Spider-Man film and Ant-Man and The Wasp had been added to the studio's lineup. In addition, the story of the genetically created superhero race has already been explored on TV in Agents of SHIELD.

The mindset is flawed. Diversity isn't a 'black' or 'female' issue. If anything it's an envy "issue", because, nobody talks about diversity in hispanic or afrocentric media. Nobody says "#BETAwardsSoBlack". But then the BET awards don't have the clout Grammys do.

According to Variety, Ben Affleck recently dropped out as the director for the new Batman film. Official reason given was Affleck wanting to be more focused on the acting side for the film but unofficial reason seems to be wanting to reduce his workload considering he's also working on a new Justice League film.

[McLegend]

Is he still writing it? Also directing and starring in that movie would have been crazy.

[Emperor Smeat]

The initial script for it had been done for a while. I'd assume he finally got exhausted from all the work that was being put into the 3 DC films he signed up for.

If the new Batman film ends up being released next year, that would be 3 films done within a 4-5 year span for him.

[Sixx]

he dropped out of writing as well. they got some new guy, read about this today, don't remember the name.

Apparently South Park is going to drop the Mr Garrison/Trump stuff from next season's story because the creators felt their satire plans couldn't top the stuff Trump was doing in real life.

Was making it hard for them to come up with something interesting to ridicule Trump since his actions so far have been "way funnier than anything we could come up with" for the wrong reasons. Also because the Trump stuff from last season was never planned to go beyond a few episodes before his surprise election win which made them to drop a lot of their original plans for the overall storyline.

“We were really trying to make fun of what was going on, but we couldn’t keep up,” said Parker in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. “It was, like, what was actually happening was way funnier than anything we could come up with. You know what I mean? So … we decided to just kind of back off and let them do their comedy and we’ll do ours.”

Garrison gets impeached? Finally snaps and resigns from office? Whacked?

Anyone looking forward to the reinvention of Scarface?
Diego Luna signed on to star in the lead role and Antoine Fuqua dropped out of directing it. Sounds like they are making a Mexican Scarface, could be good. There were 50 odd years between the original and remake and it must be over 30 since that so hopefully it's taken on by the right director because it could easily underwhelm.

Pacino's Scarface is no masterpiece but it is iconic and great fun.

[Kalyx triaD]

That 80s spark is essential to me but I think there's room for darker stuff given all the crime drama that rose tv since the movie.

[Seanny One Ball]

The soundtrack will surely pale in comparison to the sheer eighties-ness of the Pacino film.
At least Diego Luna won't have to make a ridiculous attempt at the Cuban accent this time mang.

A new film in the Matrix series is reportedly in the works according to The Hollywood Reporter. Was originally reported to be a reboot of the series but instead will just be an expansion of the story from the previous films.

Film itself is in the early script stage with the co-writer of X-Men: The Last Stand and Avengers Assemble, Zak Penn, in talks to work on the project.

Additionally, Michael B. Jordan (Fantastic Four, Creed, Black Panther) is being lined up to star in the reboot, though there is apparently a long way to go before anything is finalized. The Wachowskis, the siblings who wrote and directed the original and its sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, are not currently involved in the nascent project, though Warner Bros. reportedly want the directorial pair on board to some extent, even if it's just to give their blessings for the reboot to go ahead.

The original trilogy's producer, Joel Silver, is reportedly keen to be involved, but The Hollywood Reporter says Warner Bros. is wary of getting the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon producer on board because of his rumored strained relationship with the Wachowskis.

https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/06/oscars-popular-film-category-suspended

All these articles either directly echo the theory, or have a BP screenshot right on the headline. And all I did was search "oscars popular film category", not "black panther oscar" or any skewed shit like that. All links from the first page of the search. And I'm not linking thousands of social media posts all guessing the same thing even before the articles when the new category was just rumor.

*sigh*

So this is the game with you, then? I'm on some kind of 'thin ice' with you where you demand evidence for even the most self evident statements? Nah I'm good. In this range of subjects my credit is way in the green so you gonna have to deal. I'll give you a freebie to make a point but I'm not doing this with you here.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm sorry, I just woke up.

I don't have the energy today either. May go back to bed after tea.

Castle Rock ended yesterday. I love the series, the finale wasn't very cathartic which I was emotionally hoping for but I was intellectually satisfied by the ending and the set up for season 2.

[Fignuts]

Watched the trailer for Sherlock and Watson and didn't so much as chuckle. And I love Ferrel and Reilly's other films.

[Seanny One Ball]

Oversaturation.

Sherlock has been done to death both as a character and as an inspiration for other characters.

Robert Downey Jr
Benedict Cumberbatch
Johnny Lee Miller
Ian McKellen
Will Ferrell

Those are the main Sherlock's of the last ten years from TV to Film. I think there's a kids comedy coming out too.

For a character that always includes action, comedy and deduction there really aren't too many more ways to play it until they pull a female Shirley Holmes out of their arses.

[Seanny One Ball]

Not that I want another rampant misandrist on the loose but you get my point.

Rambo V currently rumored to be a Western type movie based on early filming photos.

I mean I don't disagree, but its not even that. The jokes just aren't funny.

Marvel Studios is probably locked and loaded on integrating Fantastic Four, X-Men, Deadpool, etc.

Basically all you have to do is watch 15 minutes of targeted ads on your phone to get a free 2d movie ticket good anytime to just about any theatre for any movie you want to watch. Its free for you (I paid $60 to be in the beta)

[Lock Jaw]

So, you can get a free 2d movie ticket anytime you want? Just need to put on a 15 minute advertisement and walk away from your phone until it is done?

[Droford]

So, you can get a free 2d movie ticket anytime you want? Just need to put on a 15 minute advertisement and walk away from your phone until it is done?

actually as soon as you look away from your phone during the ad it pauses so you can stagger your viewing of the ads in chunks but the app uses facial recognition to make sure your eyes are on the phone for the whole duration of the ads (meaning someone else cant watch for you either). Might be a bit creepy for some..i get it
you gotta be in the us though, sorry

[Droford]

any other questions read the kickstarter

[Lock Jaw]

I don't care THAT much.....

So what you are saying is that you need to point your phone at a picture of yourself and walk away while it plays ads to your picture.

[Kalyx triaD]

Anything that demands I literally watch an add on my phone, and they'd know whether you did or didn't, is a no go for me. Not for no fucking movie tickets, suck my dick.

[Droford]

I don't care THAT much.....

So what you are saying is that you need to point your phone at a picture of yourself and walk away while it plays ads to your picture.

they have specially designed facial recognition software, Id assume maybe if its possible to fool a face lock id thing on your phone maybe it would work but im betting not.

[Droford]

Anything that demands I literally watch an add on my phone, and they'd know whether you did or didn't, is a no go for me. Not for no fucking movie tickets, suck my dick.

a ticket here costs $15 so for me watching the ads amounts to getting paid $60 an hour, $1 per minute.

[Kalyx triaD]

Nope. Nope.

[Tom Guycott]

Companies think shit like that is "clever", but they're only inspiring people to find ways NOT to be forced to watch their shitty ads. Being such a long timeframe and not being able to multitask is a huge ask. It was a huge ask for the TV stations that flirted with intermission style commercials. Never see those anymore, likely because people weren't going to sit through that long of a break when they could channel surf and start watching something else.

And that's not even going into the having to be on my phone part. I'll pay full price, and agree that they can suck Kalyx's dick a second time. "In a row?"

According to a report from Deadline, USA Network is currently working on a new television series based on the Doom video game series.

Specifically its based on a book called "Masters of Doom" which tells the story of the series creation.

The pilot episode is currently planned to air later this year.

Produced by James and Dave Franco's Ramona Productions - the team behind the movie adaptation of The Disaster Artist - Masters of Doom will tell the story of how two bedroom coders formed id Software and popularised the entire first-person shooter genre with one exciting, but highly controversial, video game. This success would ultimately lead to an uncomfortable parting of the ways.

The show will be written by Tim Bissell, who has scribed video games in the Gears of War, Uncharted and Battlefield franchises. The Masters of Doom TV adaptation is part of the USA Network's upcoming thematic season, which will look at various Americans who succeeded in making it big within their chosen industries.
