"The Doll Life" Season Premiere Review

 "The Doll Life" Season Premiere Review

I have seen some shows that make Lolita look bad and while I am still skeptical about how this series will come together, it seems to show a bit of promise and positive light. Taking a behind the scenes approach, the show answers the curious question of most people on the outside of the J-fashion culture looking in- OMG! Did you make your clothes?!

Rumors: Marvel may get Fantastic 4 back in exchange for X-Men Tv Rights

Hey O&G fans, the rumor mill is a buzz that Marvel will get the Fantastic 4 back in exchange for giving fox two X-Men series (and Characters) TV rights that were announced yesterday.

Den of Geek does caution that they don’t have independent verification of what their source told them, but it’s hard to discount the possibility. Marvel’s through-2020 slate does have three untitled movies on their schedule, and one is supposedly Fantastic Four. The source says that the rights reverting back to Marvel include ancillary characters such as Doctor Doom, Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

Interestingly, the deals for Legion and Hellfire were announced as a partnership between 20th Century Fox and Marvel Television, as opposed to Marvel Studios. The Kevin Feige-controlled Marvel Studios reportedly recently left the control of the larger Marvel Entertainment unbrella, which still includes Marvel Television.

Until someone from Fox or Marvel comes forward to confirm this story, all we can do is wait and see what happens.

NYCC 2015 Ash vs Evil Dead Panel

Hey O&G Fans, New York Comic Con 2015 had some great panels this year. One of the most anticipated panels was Ash vs Evil Dead. Kevin Smith moderated the panel and kept the crowd entertained till the show stopper himself Bruce Campbell was ready.

Bruce Campbell came out to thunderous applauds and started to tell the fans a Joke when Sam Raimi interrupted him to give the fans what they want. Attendees were surprised with a premiere of the first episode of Ash vs Evil Dead. The episode was fantastic!  Fans of the Evil Dead series will love the nods to past events and moments, as Ash (Campbell) returns, older, but hardly wiser. His age is not only acknowledged but a big source of humor, as he’s not quite as fit as he once was.

The episode also had all the blood and gore. In classic Evil Dead style, there’s all sorts of body parts being torn off and apart and blood splattering in the faces of various characters. During the Q&A the question was asked whether the show would return to the iconic cabin from the films. Said Campbell, “We can’t answer that question.” Smith retorted with, “That’s a yes, isn’t it?” to which Campbell had to admit, it probably was. Fans asked what else could they expect in future episodes and if it would get even more gory, show runner DiGregorio said “There’s a really good deli slicer scene.”

The Panel was awesome and great for the fans of the franchise. Ash vs Evil Dead will air October 31st 2015 on Starz. Just what fans needed on Halloween.
