Shmee Casts The Suicide Squad!

With news that Jared Leto is going to be the Joker and Margot Robbie will be Harley Quinn in the new Suicide Squad movie, no doubt as the villains, and Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor somehow attached, I thought I would do DC a favor and cast the rest of Task Force X for them. It is a big crew, so it was hard to find good people, but I think I did pretty well.

Deadshot:

I figure they will need a big name to head this group, and it took me awhile to come up with someone, but I think he will be perfect: Ryan Gosling. He is young and strong, and he looks good when he is not talking. All good things for Deadshot. In case you have been living under a rock here is what he looks like:

Vixen:

This one was very easy. Since they didn’t take my advice on Wonder Woman, I got to use her again: Gina Torres. She is tough enough to hang with the boys, and you would take her seriously as a hero.

Captain Boomerang:

I figure this a good spot to introduce some humor, and why not give someone from TV a chance to get in to the spotlight, so I picked Jensen Ackles. He is my favorite part of Supernatural, and I am sure he would be a great addition to the Squad.

Blockbuster:

Blockbuster is pretty much a villainous Hulk ripoff, but you know what? A guy with super-strength is always a good addition to the team. Since you need someone huge for this role if you don’t want to use CG, I went with Randy Couture. He has been in several movies, and he doesn’t need to bulk-up any more.

Multiplex:

I decided that they should pick someone that is already in the DC family, so I went with Cillian Murphy. He was great as Scarecrow, so why not let him loose as another DC villain, but this time with a bomb in his head and forced to be good!

Jaculi:

I wasn’t really sure on who to use with this one, but I dug deep and came up with Adam Beach. I know he was in Walker Texas Ranger, but we are going to have to get past that. He has been pretty good in everything else he as been in, so why not the Suicide Squad.

Mindboggler:

Last one! Mindboggler. She is a super minor character, but I thought since she is the only other female member this time around, that I would give her some star power, so my choice is Keira Knightley. She has done action in the past, and I think she would have a lot of fun in this movie.

Well that is my Suicide Squad movie team! What do you think? Or what choices would you have made? Or what members would you rather see? Let me know!

The Evil Dead TV Show Is Official!

The Raimi brothers said they were working on an Evil Dead TV show at the San Diego Comic Con this year, but they are always working on something for Evil Dead it just never comes out, but it looks like they followed through this time with Starz picking up the show. The best news of all is that Bruce Campbell will be returning as Ash. I am not sure how the series will transfer over to the small screen, but I am sure they will figure it out.

I guess Sam Raimi is helping get the show started, but his brothers will take over after that. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get a free Starz subscription. Something tells me I may have to wait for Netflix for this one, but still this is exciting news for all us Evil Dead fans out there!

The Simpsons Finally Meet The Planet Express Crew!

It was only a matter of time before the Simpsons and Futurama had a crossover, but I am surprised that it took this long. I love Futurama, and I was worried that the crew of the Planet Express Ship would merely have a cameo. Instead this episode started like a Simpsons episode, but then became a Futurama episode, and since Futurama ended at the top of its game while the Simpsons are clearly not at the top of theirs, it was for the best.

The plot was simply that Bender had to go back in time to stop the Simpsons from unleashing a horrible mutant plague on New New York. Of course since he is Bender he screws up, and it will take the Simpsons working with the rest of the Futurama gang to fix everything.

It was cool to see both of Matt Groening’s beloved franchises on air together, but this episode would have almost been better without the Simpsons in it. While the Bender and his pals were making me laugh the Simpsons continued to feel stale. I hope this is the Simpsons last season. It is hard to see them limp along like this, and it makes me feel better about Futurama going off the air after nine pretty good to excellent seasons.

After this episode, the Family Guy crossover, the Lego Episode, and all the other “event” shows the Simpsons have lined up, it is clear the Simpsons writers are out of ideas. It is amazing that the Simpsons have lasted this long, but it is time to let them ride off in to syndication. Where they can live on for generations to come.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens, What Is In A Title?

So the new Star Wars movie has a title: The Force Awakens. I guess we are being lead to believe that the Force has been asleep. It was really tired after all Force Lightning the Emperor used in the end of Return of the Jedi. I kid, The Force Awakens is a fine title. It is not great, but it isn’t bad, and it lets us know that magical laser sword ninjas still exist which is nice.

We only have about a year left until this movie hits theaters, and I can’t wait. A new Star Wars movie by the guy that turned Star Trek into Star Wars should be great. He can’t do any worse than the prequel trilogy, so he will have my $15 come Christmas 2015.

Fallout 4: If Not Boston Then Where?

So Forbes ran a story about the name ‘Fallout: Shadow of Boston’ being registered in Germany, and people got really excited. Rightfully so. A new Fallout game on the new consoles and updated computer hardware would be amazing! The thing people weren’t excited about was the location. Boston is pretty close to Washington D.C. in setting, so it wouldn’t have been that big of a change for the series, but it ended up not mattering because the registration was a hoax.

Still if Boston is not a good location then where should the next Fallout game be located? A lot of people gave suggestions like Miami, San Francisco, or Seattle. I was even thinking Denver might be fun since it would be the first game to take place in the mountains, but the more I thought about it the more I thought this would be a great time to make a big change in the series.

According to Vault-Tec (the evil corporation behind the Fallout vaults) lore, all their vaults are in the good old US of A, so why not choose a new company that is like Vault-Tec’s European rival. Then you could have a game that takes place in England. London would be an amazing place to explore after the apocalypse, and since it would be a different company they could introduce new technology, and a different take on what happened to the world. It would still have the fun future of the 50’s vibe, but just a different spin on it. Plus you might be able to find out even more about Vault-Tec by uncovering what their rival was working on to counter them.

England is also a great place for the game because since it is an island it has natural boundaries. Boundaries you can break in the plethora of DLC content that will no doubt come out for this game. Small purchasable trips to Ireland and France would be so much fun, or just great locations for Fallout 5 and 6.

I was disappointed to hear that Bethesda was not ready to announce their new game yet, but I am excited that there is still a chance that there could be some big and fun changes coming to the Fallout universe. The thought of Fallout: London makes me salivate. I am going to have to find one of Lil’ Shmee’s burp-cloths and wipe my chin.
