Spider-Man, Walking Dead, Fringe and more

Fringe 101
As I've mentioned, I like Fringe. It's a solid show with a solid cast who play solid characters. Other reasons include: my nerdy love of the occult and "fringe" science, it's smart science fiction and, also, see picture above. I was really happy to hear that Fox gave the show an early confirmation of a third season pick-up. Fox is also upping its support ante (surprisingly) by setting up this Fringe 101 site in advance of the show's return from break on Thursday (April 1). The site features any and all info that viewers new to the show or those thinking of finally checking it out should know --  including what the creators consider the four episodes of the series that you need to see. Seriously, guys, it's a good show. Check it out.

Walking Dead
Zombie movies? Played. Zombie adaptations of classic literature? Ugh. AMC's adaptation of zombie comic Walking Dead? Fuck yeah.

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions
Spider-Man video games haven't been the greatest. Shoot, even Activision's CEO admits it. That doesn't mean they're just going to throw in their web-shooters and give up, though. Enter, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, the latest gaming incarnation of the Wall Crawler. Looks, uh, interesting?

Lazy Teenage Superheroes
This kid made this video for, like, $300. It's sort of a parody of Heroes. Main differences: 1) it's good and 2) I actually want to watch this on a weekly basis.

Knight and Day
This action-comedy thing starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is strange. Like, strange as in kinda off, like the smell of fried liver. It sort of feels like it should be a movie within a movie or something like that. I don't know, is it just me?

And finally…
Instant CSI. That is all.

"Good... Bad... I'm the guy with the gun."

Oddworld
Did you ever play the series of Oddworld games (primarily on the PS1 and (eventually) Xbox, but also Gameboy and for PCs as well)? If not, you could again -- well, if you have access to the Playstation Network, that is. On Thursday, you'll be able to download a couple of the games (Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus) on PSN. Sweet!

Bronson Pinchot?
Yes, Bronson Pinchot. He gives a (really) candid interview to the AV Club. Going off about Tom Cruise's (alleged) homophobia and Denzel Washington's (alleged) ass-clownery among other Hollywood tidbits.

Bruce Campbell
Sam Raimi has been talking about Spider-Man 4 quite a bit lately. Sam Raimi has been talking about Spider-Man 4 quite a bit to MTV lately, to be exact. The director has been understandably cagey with details, basically saying he'd like to keep things simple, get back to basics and probably just do one villain this time around. High fives! Also, he revealed that he'll have a meatier role for longtime pal Bruce Campbell. Most people are going to assume that means Campbell will be the villain (popular rumor: Mysterio), but I'm thinking no.

Sucky heroes
Cracked brings you six movie heroes (who sucked at their jobs) -- and they're right.

The Box
I don't know what to feel about upcoming thriller The Box. First off, the title makes me giggle. Then there's the whole Cameron Diaz being in it thing (i..e. I am so not a fan. But I like this.) And then there's Cyclops, who I can take or leave. But the movie is directed by Richard Kelly of Donnie Darko fame. That makes me kinda want to see it. He talks a bit about the movie here. And you can watch a trailer here, if you'd like.

And finally…
I had no idea this was an outtake they kept in the movie. That's some funny shit.
