  • OMg..the Suidide Girls Fight Club pics are hot. Sweaty topless chicks fighting? Count me in
  • actually it's Pam cooking spray...it's a trick photographers use to make models' tattoos look more intense along with the skin sweaty/glossy look....
  • That and some understanding of the Levels and Curves features in Photoshop. Oh, how I adore 'real' photography.
  • Palmer
    A second season for a show that hasn't even been seen by the general public? Fox puts too much confidence in Seth MacFarlane.

    Pandorum's poster seems a little like a Crank 2 poster.

    I hope the guy with the real Wolverine claws doesn't decide to become a real life "superhero."
  • jdslater
    Seeing how much money Seth has made Fox, why are you surprised?
  • Brian
    Despite his efforts, Seth will never be a Matt Groening or a Mike Judge. The idea of a "Cleveland Show" adding onto the fact that FOX canceled King of the Hill...one of the last intelligent and REAL humored shows on television to fit it in adds to the anger.
    I'm getting sick and tired of this new generation of ridiculously stupid "humor" that isn't even funny. It's all just random crap that means nothing and it just gets me steamed.
    People like Seth McFarlane have turned this generation of teens into moronic fools...and that's putting it lightly.
  • tom.
    I never found king of the hill funny. It always just seemed like a bunch of stories that were vaguely interesting.
  • The Wolverine claws is a little too redneck for me. I'm sorry... I just can't handle his seriousness.

    Time to buy TS tickets!
  • haha he is so redneck it scares me. and he def was way to serious hahaha
  • Next thing you know, he ends up killing someone with them.



    I'm going to pre-order my tickets for Terminator next week. I still have my doubts about the film since it's PG13.
  • Star Trek video was awesome.

    Lol@ Halle Berry desperate to become relevant again

    That guy with wolverine claws is without a doubt a closet serial killer
  • hahaha all of this made me LOLLLLLLLLL
  • I know she's all over those tabloid shows and what has she done since X3? she hasn't had any sort of hit in years...granted she still looks great at 40plus but I think most people aren't going to a movie with her solo....I'd say recast Storm with Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek)

    I'll watching out on the news for that Wolverine guy, those things are destined to take a life
  • love love love Fringe. second season= thumbs up. Hopefully there are many more. Also, Fringe is a lot more of a JJ Abrams win than Star Trek.
  • I really want to say something cleaver about the Suicide Girls shoot but... I don't know... I'm just going to say that it's pretttty, preeetty, pretty good.
  • Hells yes! A storm spinoff, that's exactly what we need! I just hope it can beat Wolverine, that was a top flick.





    </sarcasm>
  • "Storm deserves her own movie"

    You shut your GOD DAMN mouth, Halle Berry.
  • Agreed, the x-men were cool not because of individual characters, but rather a whole bunch of people with special/cool powers.
    Screw Wolverine 2 and gimme X-Men 4!
  • "Storm deserves her own movie" = I need work, I deserve it
  • Red Frenzy
    This coming form the actress how thought making "Catwoman" was a good idea. Halle Berry can suck it, she in no way contributed anything to the X-men movies and her portrayal of Storm was disrespectful to the character. Enjoy the stacks of money you made on the first three films, you selfish moron and shut your mouth.
  • Really? People are planning to watch the Cleveland show?
  • well hello.
    one of the neighbors of Cleveland is apparently a family of bears.
    how can you NOT want to watch that?
  • BEARS? I'm sold
  • Infrafan
    Well, the homemade claws were neat, but the Mars Volta music still outshines it.
  • NICE A** !
  • Thrillhouse
    Yet again the Suicide Girls both delight and disturb my penis. Confusing.
  • malars
    Did anybody else notice that he never shows the claws retracting?
  • nick
    im very upset at mad men being delayed
  • ineedahermida
    Halle Berry totally deserve a Storm movie, especially after how awesome Catwoman was haha!
  • Looking forward to Wanted 2.
  • I am too, but for all the wrong reasons...
  • starscream9289
    JJ Abrams: "To infinity and beyond!"

    And THANK YOU for the Suicide Girl's post....thank you!
  • I think it's a safe bet that The Cleveland Show will be gone after the first two seasons. Hoping for it to be gone by the middle of the first, so KoTH Can come back, or Futrama.

    Fringe if you ask me, is an Awesome Show and i'm glad it will be back. Walter is the great Character on TV.
  • Did anyone else think Wanted was absolutely terrible? I could barely get through it.
  • "X-Men star Halle Berry tells WENN that she would like to see an X-Men spin-off featuring Storm: “I think that would be great,” says Berry. “Storm deserves her own movie — if I can still fit into the suit.”

    I would watch it if it was done right. By "right" I mean actually make since and show how she came about according to the comics and what not.
