Iron Man 3...Weekend #3...

...well, while Star Trek Into Darkness took the top spot, IM3 was in second place - taking in over $35 million in the U.S. over the weekend.

This puts the worldwide total over the $1 billion mark, and places IM3 in the top ten highest worldwide gross films of all time.

That's darn cool.

Now, will Thor: The Dark World or Man of Steel come even close to this? Probably not.

But that's not the point.

The point is that this film...along with The Avengers (also in the worldwide gross top ten)...prove(s) that "super-hero" films, when done well, make money.

And as long as the production companies make a profit, they'll keep making these films.

What I'm wondering is - where is the line?

At what point would Fox, WB, Sony, Lionsgate or even Disney say: "These types of films aren't making (enough) money anymore, so all current projects are going on 'hiatus'."?

And we all know what "hiatus" means...

So - the new Star Trek 2 trailer...

...yeah, there's a reference to Empire Strikes Back in there...

...but did anyone catch the one to Lethal Weapon 2?

Didn't think so. Check again...

The best thing about the Super Bowl...Part Three

I've talked about J. J. Abrams before, but he's done a good job with the Star Trek reboot.

Here's proof...

WTF? Friday...9/14/2012

There's another attempt to bring Wonder Woman to television.

W...T...F?

Look DC/WB, stop it.

You've got this Arrow thing in the works, and I hear it's not bad, but you can't grow a television universe while trying to get a movie universe going.

To be fair, going the other way is just as dicey...unless you bring back Coulson...but we're not going there.

Plus...what's not to love about this picture?

Star Trek Into Darkness is the current title of the sequel to J. J. Abrams' well done reboot.

Not sure I like the title, but this pic hurts my head. I'll give Uhura trumping Bones' rightful place a pass...and Spock looks like he sat on something...but is that's supposed to be Scotty on the far left? It doesn't look like Simon Pegg, it doesn't look like Scotty...and I think my soul is burning.

New Characters...

New Characters?

New Characters!

Uh, Joss?

BRING BACK THE OLD ONE!!!
