The LEGO Movie – Official Teaser Trailer via Rickey.org Here’s the official teaser trailer of The LEGO Movie which comes out in 2014. Omigosh, I love LEGO! 2014 is so far away! Assembling in 2014! “The LEGO® Movie,” the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, opens in theaters February 7, 2014. It stars the vocal talents of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman. The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

The peacock network is continuing to air Dateline, their venerable news-magazine, into Summer. Will the ratings be weak or perhaps even stronger than in the regular season? Cancelled or renewed?...

Once Upon A Time producers Adam Horowizt and Edward Kitsis have created a completely captivating world of fairytale awesome. As season 3 approaches fans have a lot to look forward to as Once kicks it up a notch with our heroes separated and a dangerous new enemy in Neverland. Kitsis and Horowitz promises a prominent Storybrooke story line, romance and danger. In addition, season 3 will be divided equally, with 11 episodes in the Fall and 11 in the Spring, which will be approached as 2 seasons. Each 11 episode block will ideally run back to back with no break, or reruns “Fear not, the characters left behind in Storybrooke are not forgotten and what’s happening to them is important,” executive producer Adam Horowitz promises. “Hopefully all the story lines will coalesce in a way the audience will enjoy.” Among them is the fate of Neal, who landed back in fairy-tale land. Unfortunately, though, “Emma is on that ship believing Neal is dead and then there’s Neal, who just said, ‘I love you,’” “I think you can say it’s pretty much a direct pickup,” said Horowitz of where Once Upon a Time Season 3 will start. “I think that what you saw at the end of the finale is the jumping off point.” Watch for our good and bad characters to have to work together to get Henry back in Neverland. For the Captain Swan fans out there: is there hope for romance to blossom? “The thing I like about Captain Hook in the finale is he started to look back on his life and he was like, ‘maybe I’ve wasted it.” So here you’ve got a guy who wants a new chance,” Kitsis said, reminding us that – at least at the start of the season – Emma believes that Neal is dead. Back in Once Upon a Time Season 1, it was established that Gold “is a difficult man to love and that is his character,” said Kitsis. “I think for all these characters, I know it was supposed to break the curse and return their happy endings [but] they’re still in search of their happy endings.” Gold will still be torn between good and evil in the new season, Kitsis and Horowitz said, and that includes, perhaps, having to decide to do with his grandson, Henry, who he knows has been said to be his ultimate undoing. “It’s going to be another challenge in their relationship,” Horowitz said of Gold being on the ship on its way to Neverland and Belle being left behind. Are all the magic beans gone now? Horowitz and Kitsis took a moment before answering with a simple “Yes.” Will we see more of Emma’s magic? Horowitz joked that she’ll be getting a show in Vegas but “She’s going to ask the question, why do I have magical capabilities, what does it really mean to be the savior and we’re going to dive a lot deeper into Emma’s character and we’re going to see a lot more of her past like we did this year.” Source: TV Fanatic, TV Guide

How many times do we have to go through this with Charlie Sheen before someone, ANYONE, decides to look beyond their checkbook, stand up to Charlie Sheen, and take a goddamn stand for decency and integrity?. Here’s a guy that made me feel sorry for Farrah Abraham, and I don’t even know who Farrah Abraham is. Also, apparently the twerpy little miscreant has lost his touch when it comes to insult hurling. After calling Abraham a “desperate guzzler of stagnant douche agua,” Sheen has resorted to using the Donald Trump of Charlie Sheen words, the C-word, as in the word that precedes “punt.” Charlie Sheen used the word in a text no less, in firing Selma Blair, who somehow managed to work with Sheen for roughly 50 of the 100 guaranteed episodes FX ordered of Anger Management. From what we understand from Deadline, Sheen has been Sheen, of late, showing up for work hours late and making everyone wait around for him on a set that I’m sure is already difficult to work on since they’re making 50 EPISODES A YEAR. Selma Blair finally had it, called Sheen on it, and Charlie went off on her like a fat guy at a Wendy’s drive thru after his order was messed up. So, Selma Blair — the co-star of the show — is out, and now they’re trying to fill the space, though the therapist role that Blair had will not be recast. They’ll just get a new actress desperate enough for the money and relevancy to work on Anger Management until Sheen drives her away, or until somebody finally figures out that no amount of money is worth the hassle of working with comedy’s bottom feeder. That said, they’d be wise to grab Lindsay Lohan — who already has a guest appearance on the show under her belt — if only because she has a similar work habit, and the combination of tardiness may halt production on the show once and for all. After all, I’m sure that Lionsgate and FX are looking for any excuse at all to get out of the deal, since the show debuted with 5.7 million viewers, and has fallen to 600,000 viewers.
