NETFLIX GET: Aziz Ansari premiering next stand-up special on the service.
Netflix has landed a big, beefy comedic debut from a small, wiry beloved little man. Aziz Ansari is dropping his next stand-up special on the service first, in a snag for the streaming original content Leviathan. I don’t particularly give a shit about Ansari, but the kids are absolutely mad for the guy. Maybe the adults too.

‘EPISODE VII’ Rumor: EWAN MCGREGOR returning AS OBI-WAN KENOBI
The whole gang is back! The whole fucking gang! It appears that Ewan McGregor (I’m going to choose to believe this report) will be returning as a Force Ghost in Episode VII. Me? I’m fine with this. Rendar? Definitely sporting a bulge in his skinny fit jeans. He’s been talking about wanting for for a while.
RUMOR: GOSLING, BROLIN up for BATMAN in ‘BATMAN VS SUPERMAN’ or whatever
Looks like 50% of the fucking Gangster Squad is becoming considered to don the cowl for Batman vs Superman vs Batman: The Dark Guy Strikes Things or whatever. And if they can’t get them, Warner Bros is only considering like 3,000 other people.
FIRST LOOK: ELLEN PAGE in ‘X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST.’ Aiight.
Yeahokaymaybe I’m a little excited about the idea of Ellen Page being in the new X-Folk movie. I know it’s totally incongruent with my general vitriol towards the movie but I never signed up to be consistent.
Amazon rolls out KINDLE COMIC CREATOR. Make them funnies into Kindle books.
Another avenue has opened up for independent funny book mind-makers. (What?) Kindle has rolled out their Comic Creator, which allows people to convert their comic books into Kindle-format electronic somethings. Like all things given to us by The Man, you have to share a bit of the profit. But it’s got to be good for getting your name out there, I assume?
Spielberg developing STANLEY KUBRICK’S NAPOLEON as a TV miniseries. Uh. Okay.
Apparently Stanley Kubrick’s dream project was one centered around Napoleon. Displaying my ignorance, I will cop to having had no goddamn idea about this. Well, Uncle Steve knew about this project. And armed with this knowledge, the Gracious Alien (c’mon, we all know he is an alien) has taken about developing the project.
Report: PLAYSTATION 4 will totally be able to stream PS3 games. Oh, neat.
The PlayStation 4 is going to capable of something I find to be a rather interesting technological feat. It’ll be capable of streaming PS3 games from the internet. Hey! Wow! Now, you know what would be even more neat? If the system just fucking allowed me to play my own PS3 games on it. (A luxury that no next-gen system is going to offer, apparently.) Anyone have a slushy groin over this news?
Rumor: Frank Grillo to play Crossbones in ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER’
Do you know who Frank Grillo is? I don’t. He was in The Grey? I liked that flick. Can’t place him, though. Regardless of whether or not I have any previous knowledge on the square-jawed lad, apparently he may be playing Crossbones in Captain America 2: Dethawed but not Deflowered.
LARRY FLYNT offering $1 MILLI bounty for Romney tax info.
Info warriors! To arms. Larry Flynt is willing to give you a pretty penny if you can scavenge out Mitty Romney’s tax information.
‘SMASHED’ Theatrical Trailer: Ramona Flowers and Jesse Pinkman go Breaking Hearts.
Terrible puns aside, I’m really looking forward to this flick. It’s all like, indie emotional and it has pretty actors and actresses that I enjoy looking at and rooting for and such.
