Avengers Age of Ultron

This years Comic-Con has revealed even more cool stuff as we now have an official title for The Avengers 2, which is The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Writer/director Joss Whedon took the stage during Marvel’s Panel and gave the audience a teaser of the new movie. Marvel offered an additional sneak-peek at Thor: The Dark World , Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy as well. Unfortunately,  we haven’t found any footage of the trailer yet as Marvel has decided not to release any of it online. Hopefully something comes along, and when it does we promise to share. The Avengers: Age of Ultron is expected to be in theaters by May 2015.

How Does Superman Shave? Bill Nye Chimes In

by Leave a Comment

Gillette is running some interesting ads about how Superman shaves and they are asking many famous faces to come up with their best answer. The ads are part of a promotion for the upcoming film Superman: Man of Steel. I’m actually enjoying a lot of the responses in each video, even though I know it’s most likely going to be all about a Gillette razor. The videos are no less interesting though, especially when we get to hear Bill Nye offer up his best theory.

How To Make Homemade Ninja Turtle Ooze

Who wouldn’t want to have a little glowing ooze around the house? I came across this awesome video that shows how you can make your own Ninja Turtle glowing ooze.

Interesting Fact:
Did you know that the UK version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was named Teenage Mutant “Hero” Turtles? The name was altered due to strict guidelines that were in place that deemed the word “ninja” to be too violent.
