A Starship Troopers Remake Is in the Works
Sony Pictures Über-producer Neal Moritz has decided that the time has come to reboot Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 fascist classic Starship Troopers. He has assigned the script to screenwriters Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz, who, among other things, wrote Thor and X-Men: First Class, as well as many episodes of the TV shows Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe.

The Best Movie and TV Posters of 2011
I’ve been picking what I think are the best movie posters of the year each year since 2006. And while I’ve always been able to find many interesting movie posters, it wasn’t until recently that posters for TV series started catching my attention. So, this year, I’ve decided to include TV posters in this “best of” list. Goodbye “The Best Movie Posters of the Year” and hello to “The Best Movie and TV Posters of the Year.”
The best poster of the year is actually a series of posters for the movie Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

In Defense of The Walking Dead
I completely agree with this critic’s assertion that this season of The Walking Dead is as good, if not better than the first:
Fans of AMC’s hit zombie series are frothing mad about the show’s slower, milder second season. Too much talk! Not enough blown-off undead heads! Now for a dissenting opinion from GQ’s culture critic: The Walking Dead has never been better

People complaining about The Walking Dead not having enough thrills this season reminds me a lot of the people who’d complain that The Sopranos didn’t have enough mob bosses getting wacked each season. It’s like people have a preconceived notion as to how a series should play out, but when it doesn’t they get upset.
It seems like if people got their way and The Walking Dead were only about zombies shambling and people running away from them would that be a show anyone would want to watch week after week after week? I think not.
