i see nothing...EDIT: nevermind, there it is

So many awesome bits of news and release dates in this round-up, but this one has me the most excited: 07) Jim Byrkit and Alex Manugian (Rango) will write Fraggle Rock. The idea of Fraggle Rock + Rango is phenomenal.

any word on if the Fraggle Rock movie will be CGI or puppets?

i'm guessing CGI...

So not only does Clarice have to stop a serial killer, she has to protect herself from an abusive ex-husband that she can't seem to escape?

Otherwise known as Superhero Entertainment roundup.


Can't wait for Django Unchained.

Looks like I need to buy a blu-ray player before that huge ass 10 disc blu-ray set comes out.
That is fucking insane.

hahaha, usually I post too much about "indie" stuff. Rest_easy did 95% of this round up and it wasn't that busy of a news week!

Holy cow. I think I have to see Spider Man now. I suppose Marvel is moving forward with some Civil War plotline .

Also, did the girl in the Umbrella recruitment vid look like Rebecca Black, or was that just me?

[EDIT] I should have read the article. I don't get why Marvel doesn't have the rights to use Norman Osborne though.

Why Mockingbird Lane? Why aren't they just calling it The Munsters?

Really upset that Sony are douches and won't even let Norman Osborne be in Iron Man 3 as the iron patriot. Such bullshit.

Breaking Bad is what my life needs right now, basically.

I'm kinda bummed it's split so the series finale won't actually be until over a year from now. Oh well.
