The New York City Fringe Festival gives us hundreds of artsy new plays every year. But this year, it’s also giving us boobs. Boobs attached to women dressed like characters from Star Trek and Star Wars. You can see these naked space women in a Burlesque/ Comedy show called The Star Debate: Trek VS Wars.
The Hurt Locker star and Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner will star in Mission: Impossible 4, playing an operative alongside Tom Cruise. The film is current set with Brad Bird (The Incredibles) directed and Cruise and J.J. Abrams producing.
Well, it didn’t take long for our first bit of news to come out of Comic Con. On the floor during Preview Night last night, MTV got a chance to speak with World War Z creator Max Brooks who said that the film version of his apocalyptic zombie war graphic novel is not only moving forward with Plan B Entertainment, but Plan B’s very own, Mr. Brad Pitt, is currently attached to star.
Two new names have been added to the shortlist for Sony/Columbia’s high-school focused reboot of the Spider-Man franchise: Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin
Season One, Episode 17
In this latest episode of Stargate Universe we are pulled back into the inner workings of the relationships on the ship and the interaction of the crew. The action begins with a number of key personnel beginning to have some very strange experiences. These seem to get worse and worse until they become a threat to the whole crew and possibly Destiny herself. Lieutenant Tamara Johansen (TJ) played by Alaina Huffman who is the medic who plays doctor for this crew of misfits comes front and center as she must figure out what is happening and stop it from spreading into a catastrophic outbreak.
The episode begins as a group from the Destiny is coming through a Stargate onto a humid jungle type world. Shortly afterwords crew members start getting sick and the team quarantines itself on the planet. Then the real problems start up!
OK, a review of this episode is a little difficult. This is not a two part episode so…? It looks like next weeks show is based on the Ancient Comm stones and communication with Earth by various team members.
Let me say without giving too much away, I hate temporal worm holes, time warps, black hole time anomalies, or whatever excuse you want for manipulating a story because you just can’t come up with a good script. I always have believed time travel or anomalies are an excellent device when you have written yourself a story and have shot forty minutes of footage and realize you have painted yourself in a corner with no good conclusion. Other than that only 1 out of 10 or so stories using this plot device works. For example, it never worked in any of the Star Trek series or movies until it finally worked in the newest film.
This episode reminds me of ST:TNG Cause and Effect without the conclusion. It looks like the writers took license to create some crisis and strife, and we are left to try to figure out who or what is real.
The acting was excellent and the special effects really good. I especially like the little creatures as they remind you of another space story. 🙂 Well I must admit the story created anxiety. If that was the point? Well done! Thanks for reading…

After technical difficulties delayed us yesterday, we’re back with day three! Deadpools (Deadspool?), a Star Trek captain, a Doctor, a parrot, AND MORE! Also I get a little buzzed off booze.
A few weeks ago we at Entertainment Fuse reported the writing pair Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz were in talks to write the third Star Trek movie. Now The Hollywood Reporter have had an exclusive that Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are in talks with Paramount to write the anticipated sequel.
It is a big week for Star Trek fans as 6 movies are being re-released on Blu-ray whilst a Oscar-winning dramedy is Entertainment Fuse’s Recommendation of the Week.
Although The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is still a week away, that doesn’t stop us from analyzing the phenomenon that is Middle Earth. We also weigh in on new trailers for Star Trek Into Darkness, After Earth and Oblivion and review Silver Linings Playbook.
