About Shelby Jones

I run the place, and keep it clean. I am a college undergrad majoring in Biology. When I am not curled up in the fetal position studying for an organic chemistry exam, I work at the campus TV station and try to finish my massive pile of in progress movie reviews. I also founded SquidFlicks, and the parent company, Omega Squid Studios.

Riddick Franchise receives new entry

So, there IS another Riddick film planned, and I can’t quite figure out where it falls in the chronological order of the mythos. It looks more like a sequel to Pitch Black, where Riddick has to fight off both scary night-based predators as well as a rather large group of well-armed bounty hunters.

After reading some youtube comments (which I know is not a great way to glean facts, but it’s all I have to go off of) some are saying that this film takes place after the Chronicles of Riddick, but others are saying that this film occurs between the first and second film.

Wherever the true story is, it looks promising. I’m sure we will all learn more the closer the movie makes it to completion.

It’s not necessarily ‘new’ news, but it is sad nonetheless. After being resurrected from the dead by Comedy Central in 2010, Futurama is once again headed to gray, static pastures. It will continue its last ordered season – the seventh – and then will cease to exist once more.

Futurama originally aired on Fox from 1999-2003, and then was revived through the awesomeness that is the Adult Swim programming block on Cartoon Network from 2004-2007. Does anyone else remember the Futurama episodes? I want to say that they appeared in the first hour timeslot on weekdays, where King of the Hill currently sits.

I am a HUGE fan of Futurama, and I like it considerably more than the 20+ year old behemoth that is The Simpsons (although I do like the show, I just don’t follow it). Maybe us fans can make enough noise to save it, or at least get another home for this truly transcendental animated series.

How do you feel about the loss of Futurama?

The title should speak for itself. I cannot believe there have been so many failures to bring perhaps the most iconic of all comic book superheros to life on the big screen in the modern era.

Thank you Christopher Nolan, for knowing how to make superheros super!
