So with less than 72 hours under it’s belt ‘Captain America: Civil War’ is dominating the box office with $75 million on Friday alone. It’s another triumph for Marvel Studios and let’s the Marvel Cinematic Universe grow stronger with many films planned in the next few years all with interwoven stories. Yet one of character who has shined for Marvel in the Avengers series and other related stories, the Black Widow has never gotten the solo treatment like her Avenger team mates Thor, Iron Man, and the Hulk. The trained assassin and SHEILD butt-kicker played by Scarlett Johansen in these films has the legs to carry her own movie, and it appears Marvel is going in that direction based of recent news.
“We’ve announced the next nine movies, 10 counting Civil War, through the end of 2019. Where we go beyond that are ongoing discussions that we’ll focus on in the next few years because we have a lot to do before then. Of the characters that you’ve just mentioned I would say certainly the one creatively and emotionally that we are most committing to doing is Black Widow.” said Marvel Studio head Kevin Feige in an interview with Deadline this week.
It’s a Morther’s Day gift from one of the biggest bands in alternative music: Radiohead is finally releasing their new album in a surprise digital drop today at 2pm EST. The UK icons have been stirring the pot lately with vague flyers mailed out to fans,mailing 35mm film of videos to movie theaters, and taking down all of their social media presence to simply put it back up again. Oh and if that was not enough they dropped not 1 but two different creepy fun music videos this week with “Burn the Witch” and “Daydreaming”.The two new tracks have drawn nearly 13 million views on YouTube, so RH fans must have a fever waiting for this new music. No, the cure for that fever is not more cowbell.
This uncontrollable anxious feeling has overtaken many fans online like the unfortunate souls who made online bets that this anticipated album would come out on Friday, it did not so they had to eat a printed photo of Thom Yorke. Yeah, another reminder the internet is weird.
“Burn the Witch” was released online this week with this animated video which appears to be a fun animated tale with Playmobil like figures, but it can’t stay happy long and veers off into Tim Burton demented fairy tale direction.
The “Daydreaming” video which dropped on Friday, was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson the same man who behind movie classics ‘Boogie Nights’ and ‘Magnolia’. It sees Thom lost and walking from a fairly civilized world to a rural setting still looking for something or someone. Also check out the weird voice near the end of the track around the 6 minute mark, if your not scared by that you are braver than me. I should hold your hand when we go through a haunted house.
They have been toiling away on and off on this album for a few years now, so the anticipation is quite large for this release among their loyal worldwide following. And from what’s been uploaded already, we can gather that Thom Yorke and company will take their sound to new cinematic and emotional heights.
UPDATE: A Moon Shaped Pool is the title of the new RH album which will be available through digital music outlets this afternoon.
Tracklist:
01. Burn The Witch
02. Daydreaming
03. Decks Dark
04. Desert Island Disk
05. Ful Stop
06. Glass Eyes
07. Identikit
08. The Numbers
09. Present Tense
10. Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Thief
11. True Love Waits
Jon Snow’s Top-Secret Code Name On ‘Game Of Thrones’ Set
For quite some time now, Jon’s revival was a very heavily guarded secret, with a hefty number of fan theories dominating the internet. And now that everything is out in the open, and actor Kit Harrington had publicly apologized for lying to audiences, he has spoken about the great lengths that the cast and crew went to in order to avoid spoiler slippage.

This season has been great so far. Last Sunday was the end of our long international nightmare and I’m not going to say more because then I can’t be blamed for any spoilers. I just thought this story was funny. I’m totally calling my next pet that. – @marconibologna

New costumes for the upcoming Power Rangers movie in 2017
The Power Rangers are getting a big screen reboot with a 2017 movie, and today costumes for the monster-fighting teens was revealed by Entertainment Weekly along with an outfit for the villainous Rita Repulsa being played by ’30 Rock’ star Elizabeth Banks. They immediately remind me of Iron Man’s glowing arch reactor chest on metallic bodies out of an 80’s anime. The Rangers certainly look tougher here than did with the spandex they wore in their 90’s televised heyday.
If these teenagers riding around in giant robots don’t fill your superhero fix, read my review of Captain America: Civil War.
The Wrecks and Holy White Hounds set up for a brilliant Queued Up Artist Showcase at Thalia Hall last night! Nothing But Thieves were nothing short of incredible live. Conor Mason’s voice is other wordly.
The first track off the upcoming Red Hot Chili Peppers album is out. Give “Dark Necessities” a listen below. Pre-order the album at RHCP.com to gert an instant dowlaoad of the track.
A teacher at Texas school fell for this note that a 7-year-old wrote to get out of an after school program. I couldn’t pull off faking my mom’s signature if I failed a test in high school, but somehow this worked!
Drummer down! George Daniel, drummer for The 1975 is going to be out of commission for a while. Apparently he slipped getting off the tour bus and broke his shoulder and you need a shoulder to drum. Good news is they are not canceling any shows. They are still playing their sold-out show in Milwaukee on the 24th and they’ll be here for Lollapalooza. You can score your way into that HERE. They explained on Twitter that a friend will help them out until George is good to go.
BAD NEWS: George has broken his shoulder BAD NEWS: He can’t play shows for a bit GOOD NEWS: We’re not gonna cancel shows — matty (@Truman_Black) May 4, 2016
Our friend will play drums but you prob won’t be able to see him like a ghost in the back I will do DOUBLE dancing then George will be back
Finally! KFC has developed an edible nail polish. Because, you know, “it’s finger lickin’ good.” So, far it comes in Original Recipe or Hot and Spicey. The only bad news is it’s only available in Hong Kong…For now! #sarcasm
Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues could ride again as an animated show according to Billboard, which would see the criminal blues-singing soul-dancing brothers in new stories based in Chicago. Blues Brothers co-creator Dan Akroyd, Judy Belushi (widow of John Belushi) and ‘Saturday Night Live’ writer Anne Beatts will serve as executive producers, for the potential prime-time series being developed by Bento Box, the same group behind the FOX dysfunctional fast food family ‘Bob’s Burgers’. “The show will be the Blues Brothers living in America and utilizing all new technology to make and promote their own records, seek out and record new artists and avoid law enforcement — and all while fighting for truth, justice and a better breakfast sandwich.” says Akroyd.
The ‘Blues Brothers’ movie is as much a part of Chicago lore as anything served on a bun at Portillo’s. The 1980 movie which played off characters that first appeared on SNL in 1975, was directed by the great John Landis and grossed an outstanding $100 million at the box office. That’s a hundo mill in 1980! It’s arguably one of the best musical films of all time with performances by James Ray Charles, Arethra Franklin, and a tremendous backing band. Plus it has hilarity just for us with wild over-the-top chase scenes around local sites and through the honorable Richard J. Daley Plaza….that’s where they got that Picasso, Yep. If this show has an once of what the movie had, provides an irreverent take on these characters with good tunes, let’s sit back and enjoy an orange whip. – @kevkellam
Is the only thing standing between Chicago and its overdue status as the world’s most worthy travel destination a bunch of aerial gondolas? We’re a little skeptical, but some local businessmen are determined put the theory to the test. (READ MORE HERE)
Instead of using aerial gondolas for tourism what about making this the new L?? They could call it ‘The Bubble’ for maybe a little more than CTA costs a month you could ‘float’ to your destination in a public transpiration pod with comfy seats that wouldn’t smell anything like urine!! Ahhh dreams!! – @marconibologna
Adding to a long list of pop culture collaborations, which has yielded fare likeStar Wars– and Disney-themed kicks, Vans is now working with Nintendo on a new line of branded sneakers featuring characters and power-ups from classic 8-bit NES games, including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, and even Duck Hunt. (READ MORE HERE)
Having just created a pair of purple Chuck’s on the converse site and having done so on the Vans site before as well I first thought this was a customizable Nintendo Vans feature. I was excited to create my next pair of Nintendo Vans. Summer wouldn’t be summer without a new pair am I right?
Either way these ready made designs look pretty awesome. I want them all!! – @marconibologna
