Weekend Wrap-Up… February 16, 2014

The Toy Fair 2014 is happening this weekend in NYC.  Unfortunately, we aren’t there, but have already decided to blow all of our money on the cool stuff displayed.  Good-bye future paychecks.  See what made us drool here, there and everywhere.

Arrow was renewed for a season 3.  Duh.

Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy join acting forces in the BBC show Peaky Binders, a gangster drama set just after WWI.  Peaky Binders is often compared to Boardwalk Empire.  Should viewers wonder if the water supply will be poisoned?

The Assassin’s Creed franchise is going to release a strategic board game.  It seems like a board game version of the online play as players race over each other to get kills.  It sounds exhilarating.

Ellen Page came out.  And grown men wept.  But we say, good for her!

Jed Whedon finally spoke up about the sequel to Dr. Horrible.  He was incredibly specific, too.

Attention Litchfield inmates: Orange is the New Black season 2 has an official premiere date and teaser.  It’s safe to say that fans of the dramedy should take June 6th off, because let’s face it, you will veg on your couch and watch all the episodes in one sitting.

Nike is releasing the power laces from Back to the Future next year.  2015 happens to be the year the shoes are from, so how cool is that?!

Kickstarter was hacked.  Perhaps the hacker had an account to fund his hacking?  Too soon?

The animated series Star Wars: Rebels will introduce a new character named Kanan.  Check out the cowboy Jedi here.

Alyson Hannigan and Tom Papa are going to star in a comedy written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.  We don’t really know what else to say.  It just seemed important to report.

UDON is releasing an impressive-looking Street Fighter comic book for Free Comic Book Day this year.

Goosebumps is gonna be a movie.  Starring Jack Black, this film should be insta-nostalgic for all mid-20 somethings.

Coming soon to Mac: Marvel Heroes.  Being a Mac has never been cooler.

In Forever Evil, the demise of Power Ring sent his… power ring… in search of a new owner. Well, thanks to Geoff Johns’ interview with IGN, we know who is filling those shoes.

Give an emotional and adolescent Kryptonian a Red Lantern ring, and you are looking for trouble. Check out issue #28 of Supergirl to find out more.

The Walking Dead is on right now.  Check out our review later tonight!
