Behind The Scenes Trailer for Game of Thrones Season 3


With what still seems like an eternity for the third season of Game of Thrones to get here, we've been treated to a little behind the scenes action to help tide us over until late March.

The above video gives a little bit of a preview into what's been going on with production and offers a little preview of some of the newer characters we'll be getting in the third season.

I'm sure until the air data, we can expect a many number of previews to come.

Game of Thrones Season 3 will premier March 31st, at 9PM on HBO.

STAR WARS: The Empire Strikes Back Has a Hidden Mickey


In what one can only assume was either an honest mistake, a playful Easter Egg or insanely accurate foresight, there's a hidden Mickey smack-dab in the middle of Empire Strikes Back.  

During the scene in which Luke confronts Vader for the first time on Bespin, a monitor in the background clearly displays what can hardly be mistaken for the silhouette of the famous mouse.

Whether intentional or not, it's certainly one hell of an Easter Egg given Disney's recent buyout of LucasFilm and the Star Wars franchise.

You can see a couple more screenshots below after the break.

Stay nerdy my friends.

How The Hobbit Should Have Ended


The folks at HISHE have just released their latest "How It Should Have Ended", this time taking on The Hobbit.

Seriously, why does Gandalf always insist on traveling by foot when they can all just fly on giant eagles?!  These epic adventures would be a lot easier...

TRON: Uprising Close to Being Cancelled


Somewhat disturbing news right now programs.  It looks like the Disney XD series, TRON: Uprising, is dangerously close to be cancelled.  Earlier this week, one of the show's storyboard artists - Eric Canete - tweeted that the show was "sadly ending", which spread like wildfire with numerous sites reporting that the show has been cancelled.  Canete has since responded to these reports, stating that his tweet was of his own opinion and not actually what was happening.

IGN's Eric Goldman was able to catch up with the show's producers, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, at the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour while promoting their other hit show, Once Upon a Time.  While there, Goldman was able to ask get some clarity around the show's current status from Kitsis:
"I don’t know what the future [of Tron: Uprising] is now.  I know at the present, I can say we need more viewers.  I’m so proud of that show and I love that show and anyone who watches it loves that show.  The problem is, not enough people are watching it.  And so I would love to sound the alarm, because I love the characters and the world and it’s really…It’s a shame that more people aren’t watching it, because I think they’re missing out."
The fact that the show isn't hitting a high number of viewers, isn't much of a surprise.  I honestly feel like Disney XD hasn't given the show a fair shot, as they've constantly moved the show's time slot.  Currently, the show is airing Sunday nights at 11PM CST...not to sure how any show is expected to survive with a slot like that, let along a cartoon series.

When asked to respond to the rumors of the show's cancellation, Kitsis stated, "At this point, I don’t believe its fate has been decided.  So if people keep watching, then there’s still a chance.  Please watch.  Tell your friends!"

I personally love the series and hope that more people can start watching.  Not only only is the show visually pleasing, but the storyline thus far has been incredibly engrossing for any fan of the TRON franchise.  Set within the time period before the events of TRON: Legacy, Uprising tells the story of a young program named Beck, who has been personally chosen by Tron himself to become the next Tron and help spark a revolution against Clu and his forces.  The show has just started to explore Tron's slow corruption into becoming the evil Rinzler (seen in TRON: Legacy), so it would really be unfortunate if the show was cancelled before being able to fully develop that storyline.

So to any fan of the TRON universe, I beg you to start watching the series.  I promise that you will not be disappointed.  Hopefully together we can all ensure that Tron Lives.
