News From Around the Nerd
Doctor Who of the Rings?
As the story goes, Peter Jackson is seriously talking with Steven Moffat about directing an upcoming episode of Doctor Who. Jackson says he wouldn't even need to get paid to do it! All that being said there are 2 conditions for this to happen. First They would need to film the episode in New Zeland since Jackson is still working on the last installment of The Hobbit trilogy (and he may actually live there in the Shire now). This is no problem because it would just mean an on location episode which would be great. The Second condition is that he gets a Dalek. Now he isn't saying he wants to do a Dalek episode, although I am sure he would love that. He is saying he wants an Dalek to take home as his instead of being paid. To me, this is perfectly reasonable I mean who wouldn't want their very own Dalek if they think they could get one, right? Check out the story here for more
Batfleck and Bryan's crazy DC conspiracy theory!
By now everyone has heard that Ben Affleck has been cast as the Dark Knight. This announcement may have broke the internet last week. At the very least twitter wouldn't shut up about it. We debate the pros and cons of this in the episode, but really it comes down to 2 things: do you have faith in Nolan and Snyder and do you think Affleck is a good actor? It is a tough one, and only time will tell. Related to this was the announcement that Bryan Cranston has been cast in Man of Steel 2 as well as the iconic Lex Luthor. This is like a dream casting for lots of people especially after the epic work he has done on Breaking Bad. Again this goes to the first point, The same guys who cast Bryan Cranston also cast Ben Affleck. So the question remains, do you trust them?
But this is all moot, because it is a cover up! A ruse by DC to wash over their other two changes that they made. These changes are the relocating of the Justice League to Canada and changing the Main Man Lobo into a skinny Edward Cullen punk. DC knew this would cause such Nerd Rage that they put out the Ben Affleck casting announcement in order to distract everyone from this. WELL IT DIDN'T WORK DC! I AM ON TO YOU!
