New Year, Old Stuff
Hey gang! I’ve been lazing about for the past week, what with the holidays and all. There’s also the fact that it’s been kind of a quiet week, geek news wise. So how about we start the new year with something classic?
I can always count on the good people at Cinema Sins to provide quality blog fodder. They’re the meat and potatoes of this business!

6 Pop Culture Resolutions for 2015
Welp, 2015 is here and I’m still fat and broke. Guess my resolutions for 2014 didn’t pan out…again! I did a little bit better with my pop culture resolutions last year, some of which actually came true. So I thought I’d go ahead and make this a new, annual tradition!
Plus this is definitely the year I get in shape and get rich!
I swear by all that is honest and true!
There’s a lot in store for us in 2015, one of the biggest pop culture years in a long time. Not only is Avengers 2 hitting the big screen in the spring, but the year’s going to end with the Star Wars relaunch. How cool is that? We’ve got great TV shows, great video games, great comics, and great everything else. But how great can they be? What do I hope to see in 2015? Join me after the jump to find out!
First Semi-Official Look at the Ant-Man Villain!
The first trailer for Marvel’s Ant-Man is due to hit the web any day now (hopefully!), so Marvel is ready to ramp up the marketing on the film. Yes, Avengers: Age of Ultron comes first, but everybody in the world is already going to see that. Marketing will consist of Marvel simply telling everybody when to go to the theaters. Ant-Man is going to need to be sold, and with that we have a new banner image leaked online today.
Not only do we get another great look at the movie Ant-Man costume, but here is the first semi-official look at the villain, Yellow Jacket! Some blurry images leaked online weeks ago, but this picture is clear, bright and awesome!
You can check out a bigger version here.
I think Yellow Jacket looks pretty awesome, and he definitely fits as a high-tech, insectoid villain. But man, he’s going to be a hard sell. Hopefully Ant-Man will focus mostly on Ant-Man himself, and the villain won’t be that big of a deal. Most Marvel movies have lame villains anyway.

Honest Trailers: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I still mostly enjoyed the new Ninja Turtle reboot. I went in with an open mind and liked this new take on my favorite Turtles. The simple thing to remember is that there are so many different versions of the Ninja Turtles out there. One shouldn’t get their panties in a twist just because Michael Bay gets to make his version. Give it another 10 years and we’ll have a new cartoon, new comics and new movies. You’ll see!

One Last Bit of Holiday Cheer!
Enjoy some Marvel funsies!
The New Year begins this week, and we’ll worry about that later. For now, I wanted to wish everybody a final Happy Holidays as we say goodbye to Christmas. Lucky for me, there was no shortage of awesome Christmas videos on the Internet this year. Those things are a life saver! And the Marvel What The…?! videos are always a hoot.
As for me, I had a pretty great Christmas. Saw family, had some laughs, played some video games; all in good fun! As for presents, I had a geeky haul this year. I got Spider-Man pot-holders, a Batman decorative towel, Axe Cop action figures, a nifty Star Wars LEGO set and more! Definitely a good time was had by all. I hope you and yours had an equally enjoyable holiday!
