The Contenders: Matthew McConaughey Starrer DALLAS BUYERS CLUB Moves To November
If Matthew McConaughey doesn’t win an Oscar this year, it will be a travesty of epic proportions. Between his spectacular performance in Mud, his role in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street and what looks to be the role of his career in Dallas Buyers Club, the often underappreciated actor has more routes to an Academy Award this year than even a Weinstein movie. Well, Focus Features much see Oscar gold in McConaughey’s future, too. The distributor is moving up the release date of the AIDS drama Dallas Buyers Club from Dec. 6 to Nov. 1, putting it in prime Academy Awards territory. Dallas Buyers Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, tells the real-life story of Texas electrician Ron Woodroof who took on the US medical establishment by smuggling antiviral meds in to the US at the height of the AIDS crisis.

Superman. Well, over at Cosmic Book Resources, they’re saying that it’s a done deal… Bryan Cranston is Lex Luthor. The article goes on to say some pretty wild things about the number of appearances in DC Cinematic Universe movies, including at least six but up to ten movies for Cranston’s Luthor. It also mentions that Ben Affleck has been signed for 13 appearances as Batman. Those rather ridiculous numbers aside, the Affleck announcement gives credence to a Cranston Luthor rumor. Cranston played a major role in Ben Affleck’s Argo. Plus, Craston starring in the Warner Bros./Legendary Pictures production of Godzilla due...

Finally! Val Kilmer and Adam West On #Batfleck
The #Batfleck controversy seems to be dying down a bit, and cooler heads have prevailed with numerous online columns suggesting that Ben Affleck as Batman might not suck and the king of all Geekdom giving his blessing to Ben. Now, two former Batmen are lending their support, and giving a bit of advice, to the newest Caped Crusader. The man who always carried shark repellent in his utility belt had this to say to the latest Batman: Remember Ben, with the cape and cowl comes great responsibility (and lots of heat). Bring deodorant. #batman @BenAffleck — Adam West (@therealadamwest) August 23, 2013 And then there’s poor Kilmer. He arguably played the most boring Batman of them all and has taken his own knocks for it, so he had a little “Leave Britney Alone!” moment for Mr. Affleck: Give Ben...
