Ridley Scott Links PROMETHEUS To BLADE RUNNER
And now Ridley Scott's Prometheus is not just a quasi-prequel to Alien but also a quasi-sequel to Blade Runner. Or, at the very least, the director has made it clear that both films take place in the same universe while establishing a direct link between key players.
Allow me to explain.
Human replacement technology factors large into both franchises - androids in Alien, replicants in Blade Runner - and now an Easter Egg included in the UK steelbook release of Prometheus has made it clear that not only were these two rival systems developed in the same world but that their respective creators - Peter Weyland in Alien, Eldon Tyrell in Blade Runner - were not only alive and working in the same world but that the duo had a mentor-student relationship. How so? Check the image below, a supposed email from Peter Weyland detailing the relationship.
The obvious question now is with Scott developing sequels to both Prometheus and Blade Runner, will this relationship become more explicit or is this just a one off to get fans talking?
Review: BLOOD-C THE LAST DARK Brings Mixed Closure To The Franchise
"Blood-C: The Last Dark is the film that serves as closure to the 2011 anime series. I have to say that I haven't seen the series, so I watched the film without previous knowledge of the Blood-C universe."
The Thieves (2012) Movie Review
Like other great directors, Choi smartly brought back his collaborators from his previous projects. The result is a very taut and stylish while not being overly stylized, and an extremely tight paced movie that, despite its 135 minute running time, is never dull. The action set pieces are adrenaline fueled and precisely executed. Hollywood should come calling on Choi and get him to bring his team along for the ride.
Looking forward to this one, Woochi was fun. 
I watched The Adventures of Tintin, and I'm not ashamed to say I enjoyed it. It really fell apart when they stopped following the plot of the first book it was adapting, but the animation was awesome (despite being really inconsistent; if you're going to have a dog as a main character, then mo-cap it properly just as you did for the human characters) and it basically played out like fan fiction. That probably sounds like the worst thing you could say about an adaptation, but that's exactly what made it good: you got the sense of love that Spielberg had for the source material and due to how genuine it was you couldn't but delight in it too, no matter how crazy or removed from Tintin things got.
All the little references were to other books were cool too, though if they plan to make more, some were probably a bit redundant. Oh, and why was Castafiore so slim? She had the upper body of a male opera singer FFS. It really was fan fiction though: copy the source material, go off on completely random tangents, include swathes of fan service from obscure to obvious references and throw in a silly non-ending as you try and go back to copying the source material, while also setting up the next online installment of fan fic through. Oops.
Obviously Tintin and Captain Haddock didn't have sex, but otherwise it was 100% fan fiction.
I preferred the 2D animated version. And the sequel.

My favourite adaptation is The Golden Fleece.
WTF?
gamingeek said:WTF?
Any Tintin manass to go with that?

I wish. 
But sadly The Golden Fleece isn't fanfic.

Yahoo said:Does Disney really own The Avengers?
Stan Lee's former company wants $5.5 billion from the Marvel ownerThe ownership of 'The Avengers' and various other Marvel Comics superheroes is at the centre of a billion dollar lawsuit.
Stan Lee's former company Stan Lee Media Inc wants profits of $5.5 billion (£3.5 billion) that Walt Disney has made from the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Avengers and The X-Men.
The suit claims that Disney does not legally own the rights to the comic book characters, and SLMI wants the 'maximum statutory damages allowable' handed over.
“Defendant The Walt Disney Company has represented to the public that it, in fact, owns the copyright to these characters as well as to hundreds of other characters created by Stan Lee,” the suit reads.
“Those representations made to the public by The Walt Disney Company are false.”
It says that when Stan Lee signed over the rights of his characters to Disney in 1998, they actually didn't belong to him, but to the company SLMI which was decimated when the dotcom bubble burst in the late 90s.
SLMI wants a jury to decide whether various legal wranglings in the late 90s and early 2000s mean that Disney - who bought Marvel for $4 billion (£2.4 billion) in 2009 - aren't entitled to the vast profits it's made with Lee and his creations since he signed over those rights.
But SLMI has failed in previous attempts to claw back money it claims belongs to it, in what it calls a 'tortured history of litigation'.
OH GOD THE PAIN: MORE ROBOCOP PICS
Trailer for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 Battles Online
If you’ve never read the Frank Miller comics from the ’80s that the two-part “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” animated movies are based on, you probably have no idea that this trailer gives away a LOT of the good stuff. Really, come on, guys, you’re throwing in the Superman-Batman fight already? Sheesh. But hey, I guess that’s what they think will sell. The Joker, by comparison, barely shows up in the trailer at all, and he has an even bigger role than Supes does in the story. In any case, check out the first trailer for “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2″. By the way, did Peter Weller (voicing Batman) sounded super weak at the beginning of the trailer or was it just me? When Batman shouts “I am the law!”, I just didn’t buy it…
Picking up where “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1″ left off, Batman has fully returned from his 10-year retirement with a new sidekick/Robin, but his return has also brought out some old foes, like the Joker. Meanwhile, the Gotham City authorities have launched a crusade to stop the Caped Crusader, and a former friend with a big “S” on his chest is being pressured by the Government to put an end to Batman’s vigilante activities. It all leads to an epic showdown that had comic book readers talking for decades to come.
Peter Weller provides the voice of Batman, Michael Emerson does the honor for Joker, and Mark Valley is Clark Kent, aka Superman.
Whoa, I thought that this 2 part thing was Dark knight returns for the first movie, Dark Knight Strikes agains for part 2. It's actually two movies just for the DKR.
Nice. Wonder if they will do the sequel. I just finished re-reading DKR, great stuff.
Ahhhh Stan Lee you confused old man.... Stan usually tries to sue Marvel once every few years. He got a few million bucks the first time, but for some reason he keeps trying for more. I think the guy has a money problem. Aside from the constant lawsuits he's been showing up at comic conventions left and right over the past few years. Stan used to be a rare treat and he'd show up at maybe one or two cons a years. Now he'll show up at the opening of envelope and charges $80 for a picture.

Is there anything that isnt a cartoon that you prefer? You seem so anti live action.
Wait Michael Emerson, as in Benjamin Linus is Joker?! Must watch.

I'm not anti-live action at all. Avengers was plain boring. I prefer the old Tintin cartoons because I grew up with it, nostalgia FTW. Also the Speilburg Tintin film went off on a tangent at the end with silly stuff. I put my impressions in the video thread. I had known the story for a long time too, so there was nothing suprising for me.
The Spielberg Tintin film is animation. 
TV Review: Arrow – Pilot Episode
“Arrow’s” pilot is excellent, and the show looks like a good watch. Plus, it’ll be interesting to see just how far and for how long the producers can push the superhero angle without eventually introducing powers into the equation. Already, characters from the comic books like Deadshot, The Huntress, and China White are lining up to be introduced in future episodes. How much longer until people start dressing up in colorful costumes and running around doing silly “supervillain” stuff? One thing’s for sure: it looks like it’ll be fun to find out.

You know what does bug me though?
Let me put it this way, there are some people out there (and I'm not saying you're one of them) who will see live action Spiderman be like OMG! Dat was maaaaazing etc and be fans of the movies.
For the sake of argument let us say each Spiderman movie is 2 hours, so they have seen 8 hours of on screen Spiderman.
I have seen 6 hours of those movies.
Plus 65 episodes of Spiderman 1994
Plus 13 episodes of 90s Ultimate Spiderman
Plus 23 episodes of Ultimate Spiderman 2012
Plus read over 150 issues of Spiderman from the first issue and I have more to read.
People who only watch the one bid budget Spiderman film will be OMG Spidermaaaan! But I have a much, much larger pool of Spiderman related material to compare it to. Instead of one movie story I can pool my Spiderman experience from potentially hundreds of Spiderman stories. And there will be a better story told in a better way than the live action movie.
That doesn't mean that there isn't anything that isnt a cartoon that I prefer and it doesn't mean I am anti-live action.
While people who only watch live action movies may see the Avengers and be like whoaaaaaa totally new. 
I am well, well past the formation of the Avengers and the movie was like the 4th time I have seen that, bearing in mind the original comics, Ultimate Avengers animated movie, Earths Mightiest Heroes tv series. While the movies cost a zillion dollars and take years to make, animation is pumping out 13-26 episodes a year and is so far beyond the formation of the Avengers you can see that story back in the annals of history. If you wait for these movies you will take ages to get to the good stuff and not only that, the animated form of comic books is a much more true representation than a live action movie is. Especially when it comes to this material.
They can even do stuff which comes across as naff in live action, like Doctor Strange for instance.
The Bullet Vanishes lovehkfilm review
"While shamelessly derivative at one or two points, The Bullet Vanishes is a terrific commercial film with excellent performances, dynamite pacing and a strong production. Director Law Chi-Leung earns his parole from movie jail."
Caught in the Web lovehkfilm review
"Chen Kaige's latest is a riveting, complex and well-woven ensemble piece about media manipulation. Caught in the Web doesn't possess enough insight into its subject matter to leave a memorable impact, but it continues a fine return to form for the Chinese Fifth Generation director."
