News Round-Up 27 June 2015

I think summer has finally arrived in the UK, but I will have to have that confirmed somehow. 

In the news:

• As always, bad news first: Patrick Mcnee has died. I had a real fondness for the Avengers, possibly because it was fantastic, possibly because it was one of the first series I could watch with subtitles, and not dubbed. And you know how I feel about dubbing.
  
• My lovely Kenneth in an interview
• Cinema mix up might have caused some kids to be scarred for life…
• New Oxford English Dictionary entries!
• Made me giggle: films that should not be shown in school.
• Channing Tatum sure didn’t like making G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. For reference, I did not think the film was any good. The sequel was not any better.
• A new Spider-Man has been named! It’s not Andrew Garfield :(
• Park ChanWook will adapt Fingersmith in South Korea. Obviously I can’t wait to see what it’s like. I am still unsure if I liked Stoker, but it definitely was worth a watch, if only for Matthew Goode.
• Indiana Jones is, apparently, the greatest film character of all times.  
• The Blind Side ruined its inspiration’s career. I have to admit I still haven’t seen this. Yawn.
• A second Maleficent film? That could work!
• Ghostbusters 3! I am getting rather excited about this :)
• The trailer for the new South Park game is, unsurprisingly, wonderful. As I currently am watching all 18 seasons again, this fills me with joy.

Have a good week end, everyone!
