Game of Thrones Characters as Magic: The Gathering Cards

People all across the Tumblrverse have been mocking up their own MTG cards based on Game of Thrones characters and the results are pretty epic. Check out some more here and here.

Oooh! I have one! 

Daenerys Targaryen 2RRWW
Whenever Daenerys Targaryen enters the battlefield or attacks, you may search your library for up to one Dragon and/or one Soldier creature and put them onto the battlefield. They have haste in addition to their other abilities and attack each turn if able.
3/5

Okay, if LEGO can cross over with Harry Potter and DC Comics, then Magic HAS to be able to cross over with Game of Thrones. Make this happen, people!

Daredevil Film Rights Back with Marvel Studios Great news for fans of Marvel Studios and their Cinematic Universe. Daredevil, of which Fox had the rights for, is now back in the hands of Marvel Studios, meaning that we could see Daredevil enter the Cinematic Universe. The news, confirmed by Kevin Feige at the Iron Man 3 press event, is great news. Back in 1990, before Marvel Studios was an active production company, they sold off the rights to multiple projects which included X-Men, Spiderman and Daredevil. This explains the reboots of X-Men and Spiderman so soon. If Fox and Sony don’t actively produce films based on those IPs, the rights revert back to Marvel. This was the case with Daredevil. The hope is for Marvel to acquire all of the film rights back to their franchises. Through doing so, they could introduce the regular Avengers team members like Wolverine and Spider-man. The best part? A possible Civil War film. This is the first step in getting some of those IPs back. My guess? They get the Fantastic 4 and Blade franchises back next. As for what to do with Daredevil? If it were up to me, I would have kept this a secret and then debuted him on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show. That would have got people talking.

Here’s a New Trailer for ‘Only God Forgives’

Gorgeous cinematography, heaps of violence, and groovy retrolicious synth tunes. Oh, and Ryan Gosling. Yeah, this should be good.

Here’s the first trailer for those who missed it.

Comic Writer Ed Brubaker Calls ‘Captain America: Winter Soldier’ The Best Marvel Movie Ever Bro, did you ever see this movie called Avengers, though? The only logical conclusion my brain can come up with is that the Hulk is in the new Captain America movie, which probably isn’t true, but would be pretty awesome.

HBO’s Unaired ‘Game of Thrones’ Pilot Was Pretty Different Less focus on the Starks? An earlier introduction to Daenerys who is played by a different actress? Why the hell hasn’t this pilot leaked online yet like that terrible American pilot for The IT Crowd?

The Odd and Awkward ABC Family Promo of Batman Begins

I thought this was a joke. It still may be a joke, but I can’t tell. Everyone is reporting on this video being real, so I guess it must be…? ABC Family has succeeded in the ultimate troll and this is how the company really thought it could promote Batman Begins.

The Daenerys Targaryen Rap Video You’ve Always Wanted: “Whur Muh Boats At? Whur My Dragons At?”

This adequately sums up the Khaleesi’s plot from the majority of Game of Thrones season 2. It’s also my new ringtone.

The New Trailer For That ‘Carrie’ Remake Pretty Much Gives Away The Whole Movie

This theatrical trailer for the new Carrie flick starring Chloe Grace Moretz is basically a CliffsNotes version of the actual movie itself. Spoiler alert: her mom is crazy over-protective, mean kids pour blood on her, supernatural shit happens.

In Movies-That-Don’t-Need-Sequels News: ‘SLC Punk 2’ is in the Works The original was a classic and a re-watched staple in my misguided, rebellious, angsty years. Definitely not the sort of movie that needs a sequel, but I guess they could explore how the main character has adjusted to adulthood or whatever, but I don’t think anyone really cares. Oh, and the working title is Punk’s Dead. Ugh. If you dig movies and punk rock and never saw SLC punk, you should go remedy that shit ASAP just in case the sequel ruins the original’s good name. Here’s a trailer. Man. I haven’t seen this movie since Jason Segel got all mainstream, so I kind of lost my shit seeing him in this trailer. Kind of like when I re-watched Donnie Darko years later and realized Seth Rogen was in it.

R.I.P. Roger Ebert Damn. I remember watching Siskel and Ebert when I was like 5. I’d play this game where I’d try and guess what they’d give a movie before they started their review. I think it’s a big part of how I view movies as an adult. I didn’t always agree with all of his thoughts about particular movies or video games as art, the dude was one hell of a writer and paved the way for reviewers and critics of all mediums. Ebert, 70, who reviewed movies for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 years and on TV for 31 years, and who was without question the nation’s most prominent and influential film critic, died Thursday in Chicago. He had been in poor health over the past decade, battling cancers of the thyroid and salivary gland. He lost part of his lower jaw in 2006, and with it the ability to speak or eat, a calamity that would have driven other men from the public eye. But Ebert refused to hide, instead forging what became a new chapter in his career, an extraordinary chronicle of his devastating illness that won him a new generation of admirers. “No point in denying it,” he wrote, analyzing his medical struggles with characteristic courage, candor and wit, a view that was never tinged with bitterness or self-pity. Always technically savvy — he was an early investor in Google — Ebert let the Internet be his voice. His rogerebert.com had millions of fans, and he received a special achievement award as the 2010 “Person of the Year” from the Webby Awards, which noted that “his online journal has raised the bar for the level of poignancy, thoughtfulness and critique one can achieve on the Web.” His Twitter feeds had 827,000 followers. Ebert was both widely popular and professionally respected. He not only won a Pulitzer Prize — the first film critic to do so — but his name was added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005, among the movie stars he wrote about so well for so long. His reviews were syndicated in hundreds of newspapers worldwide.

The Cultural Impact Of ‘The Sandlot’ On Its 20th Anniversary “Michael Squints Palledorous walked a little taller that day. And we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn’t beat the *crap* out of him. We wouldn’t have blamed her. What he’d done was sneaky, rotten, and low… and cool. Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the move on the lifeguard. He did. He had kissed a woman. And he had kissed her long and good. We got banned from the pool forever that day. But every time we walked by after that, the lifeguard looked down from her tower, right over at Squints, and smiled.”

The Importance of Food In Quentin Tarantino Films

Whether it’s a five dollar milkshake, some pie, or a tasty burger, this video essay by Daniel Goodbaum combines a conversation between Tarantino and Elvis Mitchel on The Treatment with some of the more appetizing scenes from the director’s films that showcases how the ritualistic nature of sharing a meal can both advance plot and establish power roles between characters.
