Well, if you read one of my previous posts, you’ll know my take on this whole Ice Bucket Challenge thingy. But I do like some of the videos. So now I guess it’s time for “The Simpsons” to get involved. And you know if Homer is doing it, it’s got to be a worthy cause (that must have donuts included somehow).

A new 21 minute behind the scenes preview for Fox’s upcoming Batman prequel “Gotham” has surfaced. It premieres Monday, September 22.
I’m not a big fan of prequels, especially ones based on characters that will never actually appear. Bruce Wayne is a kid in the series. So unless they flash forward at some point, we will never see Batman. Though I have a feeling he’ll actually show up in the final moments of the series finale before they cut to black (and then cue the Joker laugh).

In the current issue of Radio Times, the UK weekly television and radio program listings magazine, showrunner Steven Moffat provides a listing for all of the upcoming episodes of “Doctor Who” Season 8. I’ve added the listings below.

So I’m doing a little bit of a follow-up to my autograph gripe from a week and a half back. Though this one’s not a gripe. I just wanted to make mention that John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy’s creator) was also at the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention on August 17, 2014, not only signing autographs but also doing caricatures and original Ren & Stimpy artwork for the fans. Prices could reach up to $150 but since this man is an actual working artist (yes, I realize that actors are artists too) and he wasn’t just simply signing his name and smiling for the camera, I think his prices were very justified.

Have you ever wondered what “Futurama” would look like if rendered in photo-realistic 3D? Well Russian artist Alexey Zakharov did. Using the programs After Effects, Nuke, 3ds Max, and Photoshop, Zakharov recreated part of the Intro to the show.
I posted one recently, but here are two more VFX Reels for Season 4 of “Game of Thrones.” If author George R. R. Martin doesn’t crank the next book out before the series catches up to him, maybe Rodeo FX can use some of their magic and create a CG version of Martin who can do it quicker. Snarkish, I know. It’s that kind of day.

Henry Cavill (Superman) and Amy Adams (Lois Lane) decided to jump on board the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge while in full costume on the set of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Though I think it’s an incredible cause to donate to, one for which everyone should, I believe that in 10 years time people will look back at this ice bucket fad and hang their heads in shame. There has to be something better and less idiotic. How about making everyone do 100 jumping jacks (promoting health and fitness) instead of giving them hypothermia? Though I will admit, the hypocrite in me does enjoy some of these videos. So here’s this one!
