Library Of Congress Preserves PULP FICTION, GILDA And ROGER & ME For All Time!
While I do a lot of awards watching here, there’s one end of the year list that I look forward to more than any other: The Library of Congress’ list of National Film Registry additions. This year, Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, easily one of the greatest motion pictures ever made, finally makes the list, along with classics like Gilda, Mary Poppins and The Right Stuff. As always, lesser known arthouse fare like Decasia, the most recently released film ever added to the NFR, as well as cult faves like Forbidden Planet, will also be preserved alongside those immortal classics. Here’s the full list of this year’s selections: Bless Their Little Hearts (1984) Brandy in the Wilderness (1969) Cicero March (1966) Daughter of Dawn (1920) Decasia (2002) Ella Cinders (1926) Forbidden Planet (1956) Gilda (1946) The Hole (1962) Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) King of Jazz (1930) The Lunch Date...

ARROW Writers Talk Serums, Masks and The Flash
Who wasn’t absolutely blown away by Arrow‘s mid-season finale? Really, if you weren’t, you probably hate life. Fact. But for those of us who are madly, head-over-heels in love with the direction Arrow is headed under the creative team of Andrew Kreisberg, Greg Berlanti and Geoff Johns, well that episode was just pure wow. Of course, now we have to wait a month until the next episode of the CW’s super series hits the small screen. That isn’t stopping the team mentioned above from dropping a few hints at what we’ll see. Over at Comic Book Resources, the trio was interviewed about all things Arrow (and The Flash). For starters, the let us know exactly how (SPOILER ALERT) Roy and Slade Wilson survived the Mirakuru serum injections: What’s fun for us, as writers, is we see what Roy’s potential is to go down that...

That may be the case after this tweet from director Bryan Singer: #Xmen #Apocalypse 2016! — Bryan Singer (@BryanSinger) December 5, 2013 Singer’s Days of Future Past may already be the most expensive superhero movie so we know it isn’t a small scale project. But if that tweet has anything to say, it won’t be the most ambitious one. That would have to go to any story incorporating Apocalypse, an the Egyptian born first mutant who wields alien technology.
