Slated to hit theaters two and a half weeks from now, the next film in Marvel’s “Stage 2” is prime to be a summer blockbuster.  But recently, one of the actors described the difficulty in studying their particular character… that person is Evangeline Lilly (Hope Van Dyne). Evangeline Lilly admits she was not familiar with Ant-Man of her role as Hope Van Dyne (the daughter of Dr. Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne).  She had been given some Ant-Man comics to read/study but her response was not very enthusiastic, “I am still trying to figure out how to get my hands

Ben Layton (Cosplayer/Actor) and his brothers, Stephen Layton (Writer) and Jonathan Layton (Director/Editor), have just released a hilarious take on what it might be like surviving with the infamous Daryl Dixon. In AMC’s The Walking Dead, we see many instances where Daryl catches animals and bugs then has his own special way of preparing them for a good ol’ apocalyptic meal.  Ben, who frequently cosplays as Daryl Dixon, shows viewers just what it might be like to cook with the crossbow wielding, walker slayer.  His take is practically on point from the gestures to the voice. If you’d like to see more

Jason David Frank Video Response vs CM Punk! Plus PopCultHQ’s Interview with JDF!

Jason David Frank’s response to CM Punk’s C2E2 comments: Now I have actually interviewed Jason David Frank twice and I tried to interview CM Punk at the very same C2E2 in which he made the inflammatory comments seen in the video above. I did not know about all the questions CM Punk was asked during C2E2 and I can fully understand his stance and reply to me on the final hours on the very last day of C2E2. CM Punk – “I am all interviewed out dude, but thanks for asking.”  But this battle of words is what I wanted

If you go onto YouTube you will find thousands of Doctor Who tributes in almost any form you can think of (and a few that defy imagination.)

Composer and Pianist Sonya Belousova and her Director Tom Grey run through all the doctors while playing a beautiful rendition of the Doctor Who Theme. Player Piano is a YouTube Channel where classic musicians create visually stunning renditions

Artist Spotlight – Alex Ross The Master Comic Book Painter! #AlexRoss

I would like to take this opportunity and spotlight an artist (as well as a writer, penciller, inkist, and colorist) in the comic book world whose work stands out due to its uniqueness.  Alex Ross has commissioned pieces for Marvel, DC, and a number of independent publishers.
