Non-Geek TV From The Geek Perspective: The Daily Show With Jon Stewart

There’s a lot of TV out there, and some of it basically ended last week while I was out of the country, but I decided to stay up to midnight in another country to see the conclusion anyway.

This week, I’m covering The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.

Pixels Sucks…and Why It Didn’t Have To Suck (Spoiler Free Review)

 

I won’t spoil Pixels in this review.  Adam Sandler did that for us.  The movie was not good, but oddly it was the kind of bad that leaves you frustrated because had it been done by a different creative team, it could have been a lot of fun.  Why is that, you say?

Disney Announces Star Wars Dates, Frozen 2

Disney’s annual shareholder meeting took place today in San Francisco and they took this opportunity to explode the Internet.  First, they announced that Star Wars Episode VIII: The One With Four Letters In Its Roman Numeral will be released on May 26, 2017.  Disney confirmed the second of the new trilogy will be written and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper, some of the best Breaking Bad episodes).  That release date puts it head-to-head with the Lego Batman Movie (assuming they don’t blink…but they will) and right in between Terminator: Genisys 2 (May 19) and Fantastic Four 2 (June 2) if either of those get made (they won’t).  And just a few weeks after Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (May 5).  Toy Story 4 is still set for June 16 of that year, making it a Disney dominated summer–much like every summer forever it seems.  More news after the break.
