The Simpsons season 26 episode 16, Waiting for Duffman, is a sobering tale. The SimpsonsWaiting for Duffman episode is barbarous. Brewing beer is as old as civilization itself. It is the first sign that civilization is about to get civilizized. Ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians made beer brewers into the first gods. But the first true god of suds was Duffman. Sure, Spuds Mackenzie came before him, but he was a dog....
Its just too good. We have a new narrator, and her name is Abigale. Her memoir is another way the show takes good care to give us the exposition we need. Mirandas reflections continue the service. Im definitely on Team Vane in this matter. Its just that the money to do so was often years late in coming).

A tough brawler with attitude, Taito’s Renegade appeared on home computers in 1987. Ryan takes a look back. So youre on a train platform, when all of a sudden this gang surrounds you. He just stands there, totally stunned. But then this other bloke comes up behind you, and hes got a baseball bat. You back kick him, and this stuns him, too. Im paraphrasing, but this was me, boring a classmate half to death, circa 1989....
Frozen crossed $1 billion and won two Oscars within a 24-hour timespan. Now a sequel is on its way. This is great news. I have lovedFrozensince I first saw it inearly November 2013. This has all paved the way forthe announcement ofFrozen2(not to mention this weekends ensuing Frozen Fever). And believe it or not, this is a great thing for cinema. There has been intriguing criticism aboutFrozenshattering this lovely fairy tale image foryounger audiences....
Archer, Lana, and the series enter TVs most prominent Danger Zone: the romance between two leads. Six seasons in andArcheris in a damned if you do, damned if you dont situation. I joked aboutArcherMad Libsearlier in the season but theres some real truth to it. The show has made it to six seasons throughArcherMad Libs and could likely see several more through that alone. Pairing off Archer and Lana in an honest-to-goodness relationship is an undeniable step forward but its risky....
Director Kenneth Branaghs live-action Cinderella is a straightforward retelling of the classic Disney fairy tale. James brings real spunk, sensitivity and charisma to the role. The most cartoonish performance is by Helena Bonham Carter as the Fairy Godmother. Carter also provides a constant narration that could have been used more judiciously. Cinderellais in theaters now. Rating: 3.5 out of 5
The gaming world has gone remaster crazy, it seems. Gone was the white-haired protagonist, Dante, replaced with a more youthful, edgier incarnation. We have full 1080p resolution, and a solid, if not constant 60fps. The key here is refinement, and Capcoms efforts to address various concerns fans had with the original release. A clear example of this is the new combo system found in Hardcore mode. This was different to previous releases, where it was much harder to build up a good combo rating....

Star Wars: Rogue One is officially the first live-action standalone film in the franchise. Here’s what to expect! Filming begins this summer in London with a Dec. 16, 2016 release date. Felicity Jones will star and…thats all we know. This title seems to be an obvious nod to the films story. But it would certainly be a step in the right direction. It would be a correct step in terms of women and minorities in the galaxy far, far away....
Kids change everything, and not only in ways youd expect. you’re free to always guess at the obvious ones. Then theres the unexpected. In season three, however, Martha hasnt had much to do other than pine for children with Clark. But thats unfairly reductive to Martha. Still, it matters to Martha. Adopting or birthing a child is a little apocalypse unto itself. Everything ends and then starts anew. The aforementioned scene where Gaad, Aderholt and Beeman find the bug is fantastic in its placement....
Ad content continues below Heres thatThe Big Mouthdeath scene… Takeis early roles were quite low profile. Things were on the up, then, it would seem. It would take until 1989 and 1990 for Takei to return to non-Star Trekcinema. However, the 1990s offered more. It was a flash of fun, self-aware comedy, which must have given Mr. Takei some ideas. He returned in 1996 for the sequelBacklash: Oblivion 2. Its the 2000s though where Mr Takeis non-Star Trekwork really began to take flight....
In House Of Cards season 3 has Frank Underwood lost his devilish USP? Michael takes a spoiler-filled look at a show in transition… The analogy is imperfect, I admit, but its all academic now anyway. As soon as Frank rapped his knuckles on the desk in the Oval Office, he entered uncharted territory. Or perhaps there isnt. Like its protagonists rise, this development takes a little while to complete, perhaps even thirteen entire episodes....
