Now that he’s had his story told in a real Hollywood movie, Tommy Wiseau is thinking of a galaxy far, far away. The writer, director, producer, and star of “The Room” is getting another moment in the spotlight following the release of James Franco’s “The Disaster Artist,” a making-of drama about Wiseau’s notoriously bad movie; that includes taking fan questions from Twitter, one of which was about whether he’d like to direct a “Star Wars” movie.

Wiseau was enthusiastic in his response: “Yes! Absolutely! but I am very busy, so I would prefer to act. #StarWars can contact me,” he told his nearly 38,000 followers. He helpfully included a link for the higher-ups to actually do so, which was just a link to the website for “The Room.”

Discovery delivers another great modern Star Trek episode in its fourth instalment. Spoilers and geeky spots ahead in our review...
This review contains spoilers.

1.4 The Butcher's Knife Cares Not For The Lamb's Cry
What a title this episode has. If Discovery has done nothing else, it’s brought back the spirit of the original series’ episode titles, which were essentially “how grandiose and Shakespearean can we be in fewer than 10 words”. Turns out: very.
Of course, it’s not completely without meaning. There are lots of butcher’s knives in this episode, and lots of lambs crying. Metaphorically, of course. The most Star Trek thing about this episode was Burnham’s insistence that science and compassion prevail over, like, randomly shooting stuff in the face.

The new Predator film sounds like it'll be the funniest one yet, and we find ourselves completely here for it...
Shane Black's The Predator is now firmly in the grips of its post-production bits and bobs, and a first trailer can't be too far away, as filming wrapped quite a few months back in Vancouver.

We unapologetically love the Predator franchise here at Den Of Geek. Yes, even that one....and that one....yes, even that one had its moments...okayyy, maybe not that one. But are we ready for a proper Predator horror comedy? We didn't think we were, but having roared with laughter through Black's last three films - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3 and The Nice Guys - mayhaps, just mayhaps, we are. Which is good,...

Paper Girls #4
Written by Brian K. Vaughan
Art and Cover by Cliff Chiang
Colors by Matt Wilson
Letters and Design by Jared K. Fletcher
Published by Image Comics on January 6, 2016
Paper Girls #4 continues to be mysterious, genre-mixed, and sometimes surprisingly dramatic in its weirdness; beautifully and evocatively illustrated and colored; and marvelously fun to try to decode the references to figure out. I remain completely enamored with it.
The routine of suburban middle-class life is an existential hell according to Paper Girls #4. It’s a repetitive game falsely pushing us to the next level, challenging us day to day, year to year, to tackle greater responsibilities, but not offering much true novelty. The looping soundtrack lulls us into a dream-like state of passivity. Life does to us rather than us doing life. We strive for the final boss in one prolonged sitting, no extra lives, our arrival meaning the realization...

Who doesn't love a good fan theory? Sometimes it's not enough to take movies at face value. Sometimes you have to read between the lines, employ a little out-of-the-box thinking and make connections between characters or events that no one ever expected. A lot of fan theories sound like utter nonsense, but sometimes they make so much sense you find yourself wishing they were true.
Between the various movies, TV shows, comics, novels and other media, the "Star Wars" franchise has attracted its fair share of fan theories over the years. As we wait these last few weeks for "The Force Awakens," we've selected seven Star Wars fan theories that are so convincing we can't help but wonder if they might be true.
1. Qui-Gon Jinn Is a Secret Sith

I’d been a Sega kid in my formative years as a gamer thanks to an ill-advised decision from my parents to buy me a Mega Drive (that’s a Genesis, for you in the colonies) rather than a Snes. Like any true Sega gamer, I used to convince myself that I had the best machine. Mario? Pfft. He was just a fat plumber fighting an angry turtle. Sonic was the man (figuratively). He was radical and gnarly and other embarrassing nineties words. He had kick ass shoes, and he was super fast, and he had to fight a crazy moustachio’d scientist to save the animals. And we were all about nature in the early nineties. That’s where Captain Planet and Earth Song came from. Sonic the Hedgehog rocked my socks.
Except Sonic the Hedgehog was, for lack of a better word, shit, and I’d been kidding myself the whole time.

Now that Star Wars and Disney are in the same family, it was only a matter of time before someone made a brilliant mashup like this. After all, Disney runs the Happiest Place on Earth and Star Wars covers the Coolest Places in the Galaxy. When they combine you get "Star Wars: Where Dreams Come True," a truly magical mix of the upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens," and Disney characters from "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King," "Frozen," "Snow White," "Dumbo," "Aladdin," "Peter Pan" and many more. It fits. (The Millennium Falcon always was kind of like a magic carpet, no?)
The video comes from PistolShrimps, with a few Belle crossovers, a nice shot of Maleficent as a dragon, a genius cameo for hyenas, one really sad (but kinda hilarious) scene for poor Olaf, and -- of course -- the inevitable use of James Earl Jones,...

House heads rejoice! Berlin house favorite Claptone has announced his highly anticipated debut album, Charmer, releasing one of its singles a couple months early. The man behind the golden mask has served up “Puppet Theatre,” offering a taste of the soul-tinged house that’s become synonymous with his eccentric stage persona.
The track begins with a dissonant piano melody before the delicate harmonies of vocalists Peter, Bjorn and John kick in, setting a dark ambience. Between contemplative lyrics, rich instrumental samples and minimal synth work, the single maintains a promising degree of crossover potential without being a complete bastardization of proper house music.
What’s more, it makes for a perfect means of promoting Claptone’s first album. With its official release slated for October 16th, Charmer will feature a much broader range of collaborators such as Nathan Nicholson of The Boxer Rebellion, Jimi Tenor, Young Galaxy, Jay-Jay Johanson and...

If you've only ever seen the films, you've never really seen "Star Trek" at its height. While the movies are the true home for "Star Wars," television is where "Star Trek" has birthed its greatest moments over the years and numerous different TV series.
Many fans would argue episodes like "City on the Edge of Forever," "Balance of Terror," "The Best of Both Worlds," "Yesterday's Enterprise," "In the Pale Moonlight," "The Measure of a Man" and many more outshine practically all the movies in terms of storytelling and characterisation.
Even with the franchise reinvigorated with J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot, many fans are still clamoring for a return of Trek to TV screens and there have often been rumors of that return, rumors that never seemed to pan out. However, one report today indicates that one possible idea is in the works and involves a major fan.

One of the most frequent complaints that has been lobbed against the PlayStation 4 in the past year or so has been the lack of games, especially exclusives. Last fall in particular it was a visible problem as the rival Xbox One had several well-regarded exclusives hit such as "Sunset Overdrive," "Halo: The Master Chief Collection" and "Forza Horizon 2" on top of the cross-platform Aaa titles that both consoles share.
In early 2015 though the tables have turned to some degree with the imminent release of Ps exclusive titles like "The Order 1886" and "Bloodborne". With Sony now seemingly fighting back, they've done something unexpected - publishing a complete list of all their upcoming 2015 game releases.
Many still don't have specific dates yet, dates which aren't expected to be announced until around the time of the big conventions closer to mid-year, but here's the list as it stands now.

The honeymoon period is typically defined as a time in the beginning of a longterm relationship where everything just seems to fall into place — a time when love blossoms and hearts sing, when poems are written and happy-tears are shed. It is, in essence, a symbiotic connection between two parties, an opportune period that brings out the best in everyone.
And generally speaking, the same can be said about the innate alliance between video game developers and console hardware (it’s a shaky analogy, but stick with me). When a new system hits the market, it’s often paired with lacklustre software — Nintendo’s N64 notwithstanding. In fact, through time, it’s become a trend that the available catalogue of games at launch leaves much to be desired and realistically, it’s a necessary evil. Be they first-party or third-party, studios often don’t get their hands on early builds...

Repeat. as that is the new branding this Tom Cruise sci-fi actioner is going by on DVD and Blu-ray shelves. Otherwise, not only do I consider this to be one of the best blockbusters of the year, I'd say it's one of the best movies of 2014 as well. Top tenc Eh, not so sure, but definitely worth your time.

Niall rounds up all of the major announcements from all the major games companies at this year's E3, in case you missed it
Feature
So E3 is over for another year. Breathe. After a frenzied four days which saw the major hitters in the gaming industry showcase their future releases, now is a good time to take stock of the major news released during the press conferences at the beginning of the expo. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, EA and Ubisoft all had their chance on the main stage to wow fans with exciting announcements and brand new footage of the year's upcoming releases.
While this year's set of conferences could arguably be described as solid rather than spectacular, gaming's biggest companies still demonstrated that they had some treats in store for us over the coming year. Without further ado, here is a breakdown of all the biggest gaming news that happened at E3 this year.

Before it made Bravely Default, out now on the Nintendo 3Ds, Silicon Studio made the fabulous 3D Dot Game Heroes. Ryan takes a look back...
Think back to the games of 2010, and you may immediately come up with deservedly acclaimed titles like Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 2 or Alan Wake. If you're a Nintendo fan, you may fondly recall the magnificent Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's also just possible that you have happy memories of Silicon Studios' joy-filled action adventure, 3D Dot Game Heroes.
A relatively low-key success when compared to 2010's bigger releases, PS3-exclusive 3D Dot Game Heroes was nevertheless one of the most charming little games of the year - a retro-themed fantasy romp which freely heaped elements from classic adventure titles into its basket, while coming up with more than a few ideas of its own.

In the history of Doctor Who there are many names in the end credits that always seem to stand out. For some reason, I always look out for Alec Wheal in Eighties Who credits or, since 2005, the Script Editor. Over the years there have been hundreds of unsung contributors behind the scenes, and this article seeks to celebrate a handful of those who put in one helluva slog for our benefit.
Oh, and in researching this article I discovered that Dorka Nieradzik – who worked on Logopolis, Revelation of the Daleks and Silver Nemesis to name but a few – now appears to be Clive Owen's personal Hair and Make Up Artist.

The 2013 Polaris Prize long list was announced today, June 13, in Montreal, revealing the forty Canadian albums that made it through the first round of the $30,000 critic-voted best Canadian album award.
“This year's Long List is all over the map, but in the best possible way,” said Polaris Music Prize founder Steve Jordan in a press release. “A lot of our jury expressed that this was the most difficult Polaris ballot they’ve ever submitted. The results of this careful and passionate deliberation will make for some truly engaging listening for music."
Indeed the music prize long list is incredibly eclectic, a testament to the diversity of Canadian music, and ranges from the popular electro-rock of Metric and noise-rock of Metz to electric powwow crew A Tribe Called Red and turntablist Kid Koala to the art-pop of The Luyas and the pop-pop of Tegan and Sara. While not entirely unexpected, the...

Video Gaming began in 1972 with the introduction of the instant classic Pong. Since then, the popularity and quality of video games has sky-rocketed. 40 years on and we can all but create reality. Gameplay, graphics and the entire production of games is better than ever. This is why the question stands - is this the Golden Age of video games?
Most people have their own opinion on what this age was and really it comes down to what age you are. A gamer’s age depicts which generations they have played through, and subsequently the games. Almost every gamer would believe it is the generation they played the most, be that 80’s, 90’s, 00’s or whenever, that is the best. The 80’s was a very distinct age for gaming.

The Spice Girls first hit the music scene in 1994 and iconized the Union Jack dress, platform shoes and "Girl Power," but 12 years after unofficially breaking up, the British girl group reunited to perform at the Olympic closing ceremony in London. And Mel "Scary Spice" Brown says the reunion brought back that "girl-power feeling."
"We didn't realize it was such a big, you know, worst-kept rumor," the Spice Girl told MTV News on Tuesday. "And now that we've known that we all kind of find it funny. And, at the same time feel kind of very lucky and happy that people were so excited about it."
The Girls had not been together on stage since a reunion tour in 2007. Since then, each has gone her separate way. Victoria Beckham, most notably, is a blossoming fashion star and wife of Los Angeles Galaxy heartthrob David Beckham.

Do you remember those old sticker albums that you used to have when you were a kid? There you are, stuck plonk in the middle of a 1983 school playground, clutching a tattered copy of the Return Of The Jedi sticker album, wondering how to fill in those missing gaps. They're frustrating things, those sticker albums – what would happen would be that you would spend your hard-earned pocket money on packs of stickers, only to find that tucked away inside are stickers that you already had. So your next option is to trudge wearily around the school playground asking if you can swap your duplicate sticker for one that you don't have. Of course, it never worked out that way, since the missing stickers were as rare as a sighting of the sun in Britain in June 2012.

Movies; Games; Entertainment. Between crushing originality with repetitive sequels and milking the consumer for all they’re worth…and then some more with constantly inflating prices, these two genres of entertainment take their time to crossover.
Either with lacklustre movie adaptations of games, such as Max Payne, Hitman, Resident Evil and Silent Hill or top quality movie adaptations of games like… Or hastily forced game versions of the movies like Transformers, Avatar, and Harry Potter. These genres enjoy their intertwining, yet we here at WhatCulture! towers we can’t help but notice there are some top quality (and not so top quality) films they have missed which would be ripe for a game adaptation.
Therefore, to save the already pressed for imagination gaming industry the trouble of doing this themselves so they can focus on more sequels to Cod, Battlefield and other games no-one wants to see on the shelves again.

I’m going to admit something here. I really don’t like Star Wars. Here’s the thing: There are certain stories that work well as videogames, just as there are stories that work well as movies or films. Space operas, with their seemingly infinite room for expansion, endless idiosyncratic planets and funny-looking aliens, and waves of lore and technobabble, make more sense to me as games.

We're all pretty excited about attending this year, as we've heard it's a much smaller more intimate version of San Diego Comic Con.
WonderCon is set to open on Friday, March 16th and run through Sunday, March 18th at the Anaheim Convention Center. If you plan on attending let us know, and maybe we can meet up and hang out for a bit!
I've put stars next to the panels we are interested in attending. Check out the schedule, and let us know what you are looking forward to seeing most!
Friday March 16th
12:30-1:30 Idw Presents: The Idw Panel!— Chief creative officer Chris Ryall and sergeant of marketing Dirk Wood, give out prizes, make announcements, and evade questions!

Game Art!
Hey arty people, video games are coming to a gallery near you (If you live in or are visiting the Us anytime soon)! It’s true, the art-form that is gaming is about to make it into a real gallery space thanks to the forward thinking people at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The last Art Perspective focused on the subtle inclusion of Apple’s iPads in David Hockney’s work, but this week we see gaming fully embraced by the gallery world with the forthcoming exhibition The Art of Video Games.
The exhibition title might suggest that there is a focus on cutting edge arty games or the obscure indy market, but this is not the case. The games are all fairly mainstream and popular titles, showing that the whole gaming medium is worthy of praise, whether it is a modern Fps or a classic 8-bit adventure.

I know some people have already made this argument and I don’t normally go with the consensus but I have to say that this is most likely the best year ever in the history of gaming. I honestly can’t remember a year in which there were so many games that were so good coming out at the same time. Usually what would happen is you would get a list of ten of the most anticipated games of the year and only five of them live up to the hype. Well this year I would say 9 out of the 10 games on my most anticipated list lived up to or exceeded my expectations.
In all my years of gaming I can’t remember a year where it was so difficult to pick just one game for game of the year. Last year it was easy there were basically only three...

Chicago – Nintendo has arguably received more negative press than at any other time in their existence regarding the lack of must-own titles for their newest product, the Nintendo 3Ds. Why upgrade to 3D if there are no games that demand it? Every single console has been driven by the software available for it. You got an Xbox because you Had to play “Gears of War.” Your friends who played “Uncharted” guilted you into a PS3. Will “Super Mario 3D Land” finally be The title for the Nintendo 3Ds? Yes and no.
The first thing one notices about it is that “Super Mario 3D Land” is a surprisingly nostalgic title, something that will play most effectively to those of us who have been loyal to the legend of Mario saving the Princess from Bowser for decades. It reminded me of those early days of the original “Super Mario Bros.” much more than I expected.

Since the 70s computer games and consoles have evolved at an astonishing rate. The trend in the industry is to categorise the history of gaming into eras defined by what we call console generations. Throughout the different console generations there have always been market leaders such as Nintendo, Sega and Sony. There have been times when one particular console has out performed the competition by such a margin that it has gained a majority market share but there has never been a console monopoly.
The current generation is an interesting one as there has been a constant battle between three major players, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. What this means for us gamers (well most of us) is that we have to make a choice between one of these companies’ offerings. As each console costs in excess of £100 there are very few who are willing to stretch their budgets and invest...

With the "unanimous" approval of both boards, Google has agreed to hand over $40 per share to acquire Motorola Mobility--the spun-off phone-making wing of the original Motorola, separate from its government and enterprise business. The price is a big premium on Motorola's last closing share price, and amounts to some $12.5 billion. That's about a third of Google's cash reserves, as per the most recent figures, which demonstrates exactly how gigantic a move this is. But exactly why is Google pulling this trick off?
Hardware-software synergy
The most obvious interpretation of the deal is that Motorola is already an internationally renowned expert in something Google is painfully naive about: manufacturing hardware in massive numbers. Motorola brought the world many of its important mobile phones over the last several decades, and the famous Razr device was so unusual and radical in design that it sold over 130 million units. While Motorola's fortunes then took a dive,...
