  1. So Vin Diesel revealed in a Maria Menounos interview that he's talking about playing another Marvel character for a 2016 movie on top of playing Groot.  The Groot thing came about because he wanted to please fans who wanted to see him in something soon.

     

    He talked about "merging of brands" which I'm not sure if that means a crossover with Guardians or I dunno maybe the return of Fantastic Four?  The Fantastic Four reboot at Fox looks like it is still moving slowly.  Maybe Diesel wants to play Silver Surfer.

  2.  

     

    TUF from last night pulled the worst ratings in the show's history (both for individual shows and debuts).  

     

    Not their worst individually:

    Damn, I stand corrected.  Is it crazy I barely remember TUF 16?

     

     

    TUF 16 was pretty forgettable so its understandable.  Colton Smith doesn't look like he will be amounting to much as it is.

     

    Honestly I like the Overeem/Mir fight a lot.  There's a good chance we will see a fun knockout.  Either guy can arguably be cut with a loss and be main eventing the next Bellator PPV lickety split.

  3. Love the slow introduction for Arkham City and getting to play through that first fight sequence as Bruce Wayne.  I also wouldn't mind something like

     

    Catwoman's false ending.

     

    But what's great about the Arkham City one is that you can actually spot Azreal if you look at one of the building roofs and Black Mask who sort of figures into the rest of the game in the background and Robin's DLC maps.  But the subtle stuff with Black Mask is what I love about the second game.

     

    I mean, I'm not that enthusiastic about this game being a prequel, but it looks like it will be good enough and they've been able to copy the Rocksteady style and gameplay.  Captain America tried to basically copy Arkham Asylum but it just wasn't as smooth.  

  4. Bellator's attempt at damage control of this situation has been an epic failure.  They released a medical document to "prove" Vegh is injured, yet the document is dated April 15, 2013.  Also it stays he should get 6-8 weeks of treatment.  Meaning he would've been fine to start training in the middle of June.  And they just announced this Mo/Newton rematch.

     

    If Bellator just said they wanted to settle the grudge match to see who gets the shot, I think fans would've gone with it more than this ridiculousness.

  5. Anthony Pettis’ request to fight featherweight champion Jose Aldo just moments after winning the UFC lightweight title might have been a tad premature.

     

    Jesus Christ, Pettis, stay in your division and stop screwing shit up.

     

    BTW I hear "Real American" any time I see that Rothwell GIF online.

     

     

    What if Aldo moves up to fight Pettis?  He's been talking about a move up to lightweight before, and he wanted to fight Edgar when he was champion.

  6. I think some people got excited when Mir came out looking all fit and he was the underdog and Barnett hadn't fought in the UFC in over 10 years.  

     

    I wouldn't call it a rough show really.  A lot of surprising finishes at least.  

     

    Bellator has their opening round match-up for their heavyweight tournament:

     

    Brandon Vera vs. Cheick Kongo

     

    And for lightweight:

     

    Ryan Couture vs. David Rickels

  7. With the completion of the Riddick trilogy where does Vin go for his non F&F films to work on?  F&F 7 is getting fast tracked to be out next year but you have to think that part 8 won't be out till at least 2016 so that leaves a lot of down time in his work schedule.

     

    Kind of hope he does some more smaller budget movies and even some supporting roles.  I thought he was good in Boiler Room and Knockaround Guys.

     

    Well he's doing Guardians or something with Marvel next.
