Big-ticket Fantasy has had a rough go of late at the box office—but it looks like Disney wants to get behind the genre in a big way: They’ve tasked Lord of the Rings screenwriter Philippa Boyens to write a Merlin movie... and thankfully, it’s not another live-action adaptation of one of their own cartoons.
Following last weekend’s Apple Music/Taylor Swift tango, the most influential independent labels have signed on to Apple Music. Also, a Pharrell track will be the first Apple Music exclusive. That makes me happy.
The Black Book of Carmarthen, named for the color of its binding and believed location of origin (the Augustinian Priory of Saints John the Evangelist and Teulydog in Carmarthem), is the oldest surviving manuscript written in the Welsh language.
King Arthur, Excalibur, Merlin, Lancelot, and Guinevere are stamped hard into the popular consciousness. As touchstones, they don't need a lot of explaining when writer's choose to dump them into whatever story they want to tell. And yet, there's a lot of things we haven't seen nearly enough of when that happens.
Last night, Breaking Bad broke us once and for all, with a fitting ending that gave us tons of closure. But many of our favorite TV shows have straight-up kicked us in the teeth on their way out. Here are the most brutal series finales of science fiction and fantasy TV shows.
Hold your horses, fans of BBC One's Merlin; this is an entirely different Merlin-related project. Game of Thrones writer Dave Hill and Hanna screenwriter David Farr are teaming up to script a Merlin project for Warner Bros.
We never get tired of reading stories about pure-hearted underdogs rebelling against a vast, evil empire. Except when we start to suspect that the rebels are just too dumb and incompetent to let them be in charge. Here are 10 evil tyrants who are actually better rulers than the rebels trying to replace them would be.
This week's TV is bonkers. There's quite possibly the most off-kilter take on superheroes you've seen this year. Doctor Who's Russell T. Davies pits wizards against space monsters. There's a demented-ass TV movie about an evil spa. Lando returns to Star Wars. Plus Venture Bros.' new season, and Game of Thrones' ninth…
Summer TV season is starting, which means television is getting weird. There's a new sitcom where Anne Heche communicates with God. There's a taste of Disney XD's brand new Avengers show. There's new proof that mermaids are real. And there's a documentary about the town whose teen girls got Tourettes Syndrome. Plus…
Which are you more excited about: the Doctor Who episode in which we finally learn what everything in Matt Smith's era has been about — or the Arrow finale, where John Barrowman chains up a shirtless Ollie? Plus there's a brand new look at Star Trek, featuring David Brin and other SF authors, and more season finales!
We're not judging or anything, but yeah — if you're not watching Warehouse 13, then your soul is probably in mid-decay. And you're part of why we can't have nice things. Tonight's midseason opener is a pretty good jumping-on point for all things Warehouse, too. Plus check out our guide to all the rest of the week's…
This week might not include the most well-known of DVD and Blu-ray releases, but it does feature: 1) a girl who falls in love with Matt Smith and then tries to give birth to him, 2) the deadliest baseball player of all time, and 3) Countess Sexcula. What more do you people want?!
Two super important episodes this week. The dark fairy tale police procedural Grimm is back with a really pissed off Nick; let's hope this Prince Eric looking fellow shows the rest of the world why it's a bad idea to sleep with a Grimm's girlfriend. Plus, this could be the Community where Jeff meets his long lost dad!
This is an insane week of television. Anthony Bourdain guest stars in Archer, Chang returns to Community and the Clone Wars season ends in a seriously dramatic fashion. Here is the must-see television you can not miss this week.
Get a double dose of awesome this week when Community star Donald Glover stars in the new Adventure Time. Plus, the Greendale gang heads to an Inspector Spacetime Convention. What will the meta minds at Community have to say about conventions, especially since Comic Con and Wonder Con were such big events for these…
This week the series premiere of Zero Hour's will offer up cults, conspiracies and evil Nazi Babies. Which coincides perfectly with the season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, in which one pony gets a special Princess Coronation. Could said coronation lead to the discover of an Evil Nazi Baby? It's…
This week, The Walking Dead returns, as we head towards the inevitable showdown between Rick and the Governor. Not only that, but there are three other shows coming back to our screens. Syfy brings us what might be its most far-fetched TV movie of all time. But most of all, we finally get our first answer to the…
This week, NBC launches yet another take on the "Jekyll and Hyde" story — and this one might actually be sorta fun. Lemongrab is having children. Seth Gabel is playing a supervillain, and Alaina Huffman is a demon! Obi-Wan Kenobi teams up with Katee Sackhoff! And learn the stories behind the classic superheroes of…
This week's TV is full of insane treats. Including geek icon Felicia Day playing a geek icon. And possibly the weirdest Adventure Time team-up yet. There's the "holy grail" of real-life giant squid footage. And probably the most important episode of Nova in quite some time. American Horror Story and Last Resort are…
This week on television, there are eight new and returning TV shows — including the Canadian time travel show we've been talking about for months, Continuum, which is finally coming to American TV. There's also the return of Syfy's Being Human, and Archer! Katee Sackhoff is back on Star Wars: The Clone Wars! Plus…
