Beavis and Butt-Head

Yes! YES! A real reason to watch MTV!

Last summer, it was revealed that Mike Judge, original creator of the hit MTV show Beavis and Butt-Head that aired from 1993-1997, is working on 30 new episodes of the series. At the time, it was not confirmed that MTV (or any other network, for that matter) would pick it up. However, we now know straight from the horses mouth that MTV has officially confirmed the return of Beavis and Butt-Head – and it will start airing this summer!

No official air date has been set, but at least we know now that the show is happening, and soon! Click here to watch an episode of the show to remember what we’ve all been missing out on for all these years!

Pee-Wee on Broadway

I must confess, I grew up on a heavy dose of Pee-Wee Herman, played by Paul Reubens. I loved Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (directed by Tim Burton), and I tuned in to Pee-Wee’s Playhouse every Saturday morning on CBS back in the 80s. Needless to say, while I was bummed after Reubens’ “incident” in 1991, I long hoped that he’d make a triumphant return as the hilarious grown up kid that I remembered from my childhood.

Reubens has managed to maintain a fairly successful career playing other roles throughout the years, but recently he has actually resurrected the characer of Pee-Wee Herman by taking his comic sketches to Broadway as well as making various appearances on TV programs like The Tonight Show (Leno and O’Brien). Now, his Broadway show will be taking on the form of a TV special for HBO March 19th at 10 PM EST! Check out the trailer after the jump!

When Batman Begins was released, I really thought there would be no way to top it. It was the perfect Batman movie in my eyes. Then, director Christopher Nolan came back for a second time with The Dark Knight, achieving the impossible by making a movie that is somehow more perfect.

So what if someone who worked on both films, and who will be working on the third, came along and said that The Dark Knight Rises is even better? When asked on the Kevin and Josh Movie Show how Nolan can top The Dark Knight, cinematographer Wally Pfister said, “I read the script 2 weeks ago, and he’s done it. Plain and simple — he’s done it.” Read on for more!

Alien

It appears that just about everything we thought we knew about Ridley Scott‘s supposed Alien prequel(s) is now inaccurate. While Scott‘s project started out as a prequel to the film Alien (Scott directed the original film from 1979) – the story has evolved into something more original ever since Lost writer Damon Lindelof came on board. The project, now officially titled Prometheus, has virtually nothing to do with the Alien universe any longer, according to Deadline. Read on to find out more!
