Ben Stiller has returned to the director’s chair and he’s out to tackle something interesting: an artistic blockbuster that’s set to come out this Christmas. Will it end up being another film on the same level of Tropic Thunder’s quality or will it fall more in line with the likes of Little Fockers? Only time will tell, but let’s see if the trailer gives us any sign of the film’s fate.

The film, based on the 1939 short story by James Thurber, the film follows Walter Mitty (Stiller) a meek individual without much life experience that escapes into elaborate fantasies in order to make his life seem worthwhile. Walter works for Life Magazine, which is set to publish its final issue. The magazine has decided that its last cover will be a photo taken by famous Arctic explorer Sean O’Connell (Sean Penn). When said picture goes missing, Walter sets out to prove his condescending boss (Adam Scott) wrong and impress the woman in the office that he fancies (Kristen Wiig) by finding the image on an elaborate global journey that’ll put his wandering mind to the test. The latest trailer is available below:

Ben Stiller has always been a curious figure. Whenever he has some form of creative control or interest in a project, it tends to be a fascinating effort, whether it’s The Ben Stiller Show, Zoolander, Tropic Thunder or even The Cable Guy (an underrated dark comedy, in my humble opinion). Sure, he’s very guilty of selling out and not trying with projects like Night at the Museum or the Meet the Parents sequels, but I can at least praise him for interspersing those efforts with quality productions that he cares about.

So, with that previous track record, I’ve got a lot of confidence in what he’ll do with Walter Mitty. Based on this and the previous trailers, it seems as if Stiller is trying to combine his usual brand of humor with an indie spirit and a blockbuster budget, like a melding of Tropic Thunder and the Noah Baumbach film Greenberg. There is a possibility that it could lead to some tonal shifts, but as depicted in the trailers the mix oddly works. At the moment, I’m excited for what Stiller could potentially pull when this comes out on Christmas Day… though it’ll have to wait in line behind Wolf of Wall Street.

What are your thoughts about Ben Stiller’s approach to this film? Does his track record help or hinder Walter Mitty’s chances for success? Let us know down below!

Have you ever been in a great conversation about how great the Batmobile is, only to have it ruined by some dope who just had to point out that it wouldn’t stay on the road for long, for practical or legal reasons? Well, now’s your chance to chase that fool down the street in your very own completely-functional Keaton-style Batmobile! A fully street-legal replica of the 1989 version of the Dark Knight’s ride is heading to auction on Saturday, November 30th.

UK-based auctioneers Historics at Brooklands plan to auction the car off at Mercedes-Benz World this weekend. While the fan-made tribute car is missing a few of the Batmobile’s more dangerous gadgets, it does contain more of the movie version’s features that one might imagine. According to the car’s description on the auctioneers’ website, it includes the following specifications:

comes complete on a bespoke chassis and powered by a straight six, fuel injected modern Jaguar 3.2 litre engine with automatic transmission. Special crime fighting gadgets include a fully operational flame thrower at the rear, hydraulic suspension enabling the car to be lifted a further nine inches off the ground, a smoke release mechanism, remote full releasing electronic canopy, remote ignition and full LED running lights, dashboard display and front and rear camera’s complete the specification.

Though the previous owner was probably tempted to drive the car around and fight crime, the vehicle’s mileage is reportedly quite low. This is because it was mainly used as a display item at exhibitions and motor shows and was transported to venues rather than driven. Historics estimates the car’s value is between £70,000 – £90,000 (approximately $113,000 – $146,000), so it is likely the bidding will start somewhere around there. The timing could not be better, as this is the perfect holiday gift for the Bat-fan in your life. At such an affordable price, how could you say no? Check out the promotional video for the auction item below:

While most people were focused solely on The Day of the Doctor, the BBC in truth had two big specials for the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. An Adventure in Space and Time, written by Doctor Who alum Mark Gatiss, chronicles the early days of Doctor Who, from the problems getting it on the air to the departure of the First Doctor, William Hartnell.

Fittingly, the man that runs away with the show is David Bradley, who brilliantly plays Hartnell. Bradley doesn’t play Hartnell, he inhabits Hartnell, both in his bigger than life persona as the Doctor and the real life man full of fear and doubt trying to hold on despite a mind that is continuing to fail him. Bradley is so damn good in this that even when he isn’t doing anything in the shot he somehow manages to steal the scene.

Other noteworthy performances include Brian Cox as Sydney Newman and Jessica Raine as Verity Lambert. A clever fan might also notice that it is Nicholas Briggs playing the original voice of the Daleks and Cybermen, Peter Hawkins

One thing that bothered me immensely was the Matt Smith cameo. The entire special up to this point had been about the period and had stayed very grounded. This break from reality to see Hartnell looking off and seeing Smith as the Doctor felt cheesy, unnecessary, and depending on how you want to look at it, possibly offensive given Hartnell’s real life medical problems. It doesn’t need to be there, Hartnell would never had any clue at that moment that the show would last as long as it has in that moment. It is a huge disconnect from the rest of the piece and the idea should have found its way not onto our screens, but into the trash.

What really should have happened here is instead of a special, they should have done a mini-series. Almost none of the characters are given any chance to develop, and thus, even under a pen as skilled as Gatiss’, the people feel more like cutouts than actual people, save for Bradley’s Hartnell. This is a story with people coming and going all the time, the only character that is in it from start to finish is Cox’s Sydney Newman, and even with him, we barely get to see past the surface. Trying to fit in so much history and information makes the special more about what they did then who they were, which is unfortunate. A mini-series would have allowed a better balance of character work and historical information. Doctor Who broke as much cultural ground behind the camera as it in front of it, and some of the weight of that gets lost because the story has to rush so they can squeeze all of the story in. A mini-series would’ve allowed things to slow down and give the audience time to appreciate all the hard work and interesting people that went into getting this titan of the small screen on the air and making it what it is today.

At the end of the day, the special is well made and is something that both Whovians and Non-Whovians can enjoy for different reasons. While I can’t help but pine for what could have been, what is there is enjoyable and full of charm.

So what did you folks think of An Adventure in Space and Time? Sound off in the comments below!

Doctor Who‘s 50th Anniversary has come and in its wake we have a brand new special that delves into the important questions of its universe. What happened during The Great Time War? What is the true meaning behind the Time Lord’s “Doctor” title? How much squeeing can fangirls possibly spout when Matt Smith and David Tennant are onscreen together?

Our current 11th Doctor (Matt Smith) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) are off on another adventure as they’re called by UNIT agent Kate Stewart (Jema Redgrave) to investigate something mysterious at London’s National Gallery. Said mystery ends up involving two three-dimensional paintings that depict The Doctor’s home planet of Galifrey in the middle of The Great Time War, which infamously forced The Doctor to destroy the planet and all remaining Time Lords during a previous incarnation. Before he has too much time to question anything, a fissure in space and time opens, which pulls the 11th Doctor into contact with the 10th Doctor (David Tennant), who is in the middle of a debacle with Queen Elizabeth I and Zygons. As the two old incarnations become familiar, The War Doctor (John Hurt) who fought during the Time War, also pops through the fissure as he’s about to make the crucial decision to destroy Galifrey. Now with three Doctors in one place, the fabric of space and time hangs in the balance as old and new faces come to light and The Doctors have to face the ghosts of their past… or future, depending on the Doctor.

I’ll start this review proper by admitting my handicap; I’m not that familiar with Classic Doctor Who. I started with Christopher Eccleston’s 9th Doctor and pressed forward, so I don’t have the best knowledge of Doctors 1-8. That being said, a big plus about this 50th Anniversary special is that knowledge of that past isn’t a necessity. Most of the special’s main plot deals with elements that were introduced during the revival of Who, though there are still elements that reference the classics, including the Zygons, a few fleeting visual gags and one big cameo that I dare not spoil.

The main attraction here is obviously the collision of three Doctors, particularly of Matt Smith and David Tennant. The two have such fun chemistry, playing off the similarities and differences in their approaches to The Doctor. Whether their delivering comedic banter or having dramatic confrontations about each other’s actions, the two feel very much like the same man at two different periods in his life. The real question preceding the special was how John Hurt’s War Doctor would fit in, given that this was a previously unheard of incarnation that occurred between the 8th and 9th Doctors. Yet, despite all odds, he managed to fit in quite well. Hurt obviously brings his A-game to the part, giving the role of a bitter jaded Time War-era Doctor his all. He has this sadness and regret that shines through while at the same time still managing to embody the jovial spirit that makes The Doctor such an enjoyable character. His much older demeanor really does benefit from his scenes with Smith and Tennant though, particularly whenever he comments on how childish they act in comparison to him.

There are obviously other characters and elements that are featured throughout the special, but they never distract from the main point of story; a character driven exploration of The Doctor as a character. Whether it’s the appearance of Billie Piper as kinda-sort-a Rose Tyler, some solid support from Jenna Coleman as Clara, the spectacle of the Time War or the aliens beasts like the Daleks or Zygons, all of them are mainly there to help build up the internal struggle The Doctor has with who he is as an immortal being that has to shelter the weight of the universe on his shoulders. That’s ultimately what I loved about Doctor Who as a show; it’s not really about the fantastical space adventures or the sexy companions or the goofy creatures. It’s about a man who protects the universe above all other things, including his own life. The fact that a show that on it’s surface seems really damn silly can evoke so much emotion through so much goofy shit really is a testament to the power of writers like Steven Moffat and the rest of the staff.

Well, there’s not much else to say. The Day of the Doctor earns its place as a 50th anniversary extravaganza by getting to the core of what has made the series endure for as long as it has; The Doctor himself, through all the goofy laughs and serious emotional turmoils. It manages to accomplish fan service without ever drawing too far away from the story at hand, making it a special that’ll probably age quite well. Plus, it’s got enough fezzes and giant scarves to please fans new and old.

Peter Parker may be an A-list hero in the Marvel Universe, but when it comes to Broadway, he is one of the biggest losers of all time. According to the New York Times, the bizarrely-titled Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, the musical starring your friendly neighborhood webslinger, will be closing on January 4, 2014. The show’s demise at the end of four years is a result of many calamities which contributed to a severe decline in ticket sales and an enormous $60 million loss to investors.

The announcement detailing the show’s failure apparently shocked investors. It has been reported that some of the people who put money into Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark have not been paid anything at all during the show’s entire run. This is likely because the musical’s losses are several times larger than those of a typical Broadway production. According to the New York Times,

While Broadway flops usually lose $5 million to $15 million, “Spider-Man” will lose far more, given the show’s record-setting $75 million capitalization; the enormous weekly costs of running this special effects-laden production; and its operating losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars a week this fall, as the box office faltered.

The rightfully-disgruntled investors blamed several factors for Spider-Man’s poor performance. The program’s budget was unrestrained and reached astronomical levels. In addition, the show’s second selling point, music written by U2’s Bono and the Edge, failed to impress critics and attract audiences. One of the backers is quoted as saying,

“A lot of us feel that it’s an extraordinary show with lousy music, but the main problem is that the budget numbers were a disaster — just a disaster.”

Turn Off The Dark will find new life in Las Vegas, but there is not much anticipation for better reception. One of the show’s producers adequately summed up how most people feel about the show’s relocation.

“I don’t know if it will work in Vegas, either, or if I’d want to be a part of it there…I don’t want to be stupid again.”

Disaster is the most accurate term that could be used to describe this show and the mayhem surrounding it. Turn Off The Dark is one of those god-awful ideas that should never, ever, work and then doesn’t. As a person who has been following its trials and tribulations from its inception, I had that oft-cited Old Yeller feeling about Turn Off The Dark early on in its life. The moment I knew the show was absolutely doomed was when I read about one of its first shows, when the actor playing Spider-Man found himself helplessly stuck in the air above the audience, delaying the performance for several hours.

This incident would serve as a prelude to the series of unfortunate events that plagued the show throughout its run. What follows is an accurate but not at all comprehensive list of the show’s various mishaps, just off the top of my head:

– The original script (which included six villains, an ancient spider spirit, and basically made no sense) was so poorly received, it was almost completely re-written months after the show’s debut

– Audience members regularly booed and heckled the performers, cackled loudly, and walked out of shows

– Several actors in lead roles, including Spider-Man, simply quit the production

– Many actors were severely injured while performing the show’s complex stunts…

-…which led New York City officials to suspend the show until it was rewritten yet again to be less dangerous

– The Green Goblin also got stuck above the audience once

– Glenn Beck said it was a fantastic musical

With all these factors (and MANY more) against it, there was no possible way this show could have succeeded. This is one of those catastrophe’s that demands an in-depth documentary and I am tempted to make it myself. It’s just such an incredible story of how everything can keep going wrong when no one is smart enough to pull the plug.

My only regret is that I never got to see Turn Off The Dark fall apart in person. Alas, perhaps I can catch it in Vegas.

Godzilla is a mammoth. Not just in size, but in terms of franchises. The films are iconic and celebrated all over the world. Untold millions of film-goers have watched the numerous adventures of the legendary creature for decades. When it was announced a brand new iteration of the big beast would be hitting cinemas, we were anxious. And rightfully so, especially after the Rolland Emmerich lizard version in the 1998 film. In the original Japanese films, Godzilla was more upright. It was clear that he was a guy in a rubber suit and they celebrated that. Well, as this promotional image found by Godzilla-Movies shows, this new movie goes for a more classic approach to Godzilla.

‘Godzilla’ features Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Bryan Cranston and Elizabeth Olsen and will stomp into cinemas next May. Source: Godzilla-Movies Are you excited for the return of Godzilla? What are your thoughts about the proposed look? Comment below.

Let’s start the week off with something a bit unconventional and do something fun with one of our recent stories!

For those who haven’t kept up with the latest sizzling entries of our fabulous INTERN-Net news team, fellow OOU contributor Thomas Mariani reported on the rumored titles that Warner Bros. is toying around with for the Man of Steel sequel, which is still tenatively titled Batman vs. Superman. As Tom put so eloquently, one would think that this placeholder is enough to get butts in seats, but apparently WB wants to keep “Man of Steel” in the title, with various subtitles pertaining to BatAffleck’s presence in the film. And, as Tom also stated quite well, they all suck. I’m sure most people with a decent eye for catchy titles would agree with Tom and I, but as someone who really liked Man of Steel, I’d imagine that I’m even more peeved at the unoriginality and forced nature of these titles than most people.

So where should we vent this disappointment? Well, dear readers, looks like we’re both in luck. With this editorial platform, I will throw out my own suggestions for the official title of the next Man of Steel film, with snarkiness turned up to 11. By the way, if you’ve been keeping up with all the news surrounding the film’s production, chances are you’ll enjoy this even more. Here goes:

Batman vs. Superman: DC’s Only Hope

Batman vs. Superman: For the Last Time, No Christian Bale

Batman vs. Superman: Trust Us, Ben Affleck’s Gonna Be Good

Batman vs. Superman: Forget Daredevil

Batman vs. Superman: Geek Tested, Kevin Smith-Approved

Batman vs. Superman… and maybe Wonder Woman

Batman vs. Superman vs. Wonder Woman… and maybe the Flash

Batman vs. Superman vs. Wonder Woman vs. The Flash… and maybe that guy from Girls

Batman vs. Superman: Never Mind About that guy from Girls

Batman vs. Superman: We’ll Worry About Green Lantern Later

Batman vs. Superman: We Have No Villains Yet

Man of Steel and the Cramming-In of the DC Universe

Man of Steel: The Dark(Knight)ness Within

Man of Steel: Dark Knight 2.0

Man of Steel: Curb Your Mxyzptlk

Man of Steel 2: The Search for More Money

Man of Steel: Remember that time Superman killed Michael Shannon?

Phew, that was fun. Hope it was as much fun reading as it was for me playing around with it.

So what say you, OOU followers? Do any of these titles strike your fancy? Think you can come up with a better one? Sound off in the comments below!

Hello friends and welcome back to Big Finishing Move, and boy do I have the 50th Anniversary fever! As I type this it is the 50th Anniversary of the first broadcast of Doctor Who, and seeing as Doctor Who is my business here it’d be a shame not have have a review to go with this momentous occasion. This brings us to the audio drama in question today, Doctor Who: Storm Warning.

TARDIS Team:

Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard

The hype for this story was intense, Paul McGann, who only had at this point played the Doctor only once in the 1996 TV movie (the movie was a backdoor pilot for a series that never materialized) was getting a chance to come back to the role. Eighth Doctor books, comics, and other media had existed, but this was a chance to see what that show that never was would feel like, and what more McGann could do with the role. Everything past the TV movie was up in the air, Big Finish could go anywhere and do most anything they wanted with this incarnation of the Doctor, so the thrill and the potential of this story had people excited.

The story of Storm Warning is framed around the real life tragedy of the R101, a British airship that crashed in France in 1930 killing almost all its passengers. The story here takes some liberties with the names (probably for legal reasons, as well as general respect) and a detail or two in terms of the actual tragedy, but much of the real life account is left in.

We are introduced to the Doctor rambling to himself inside the TARDIS as it zips through the vortex, when he comes across a crashing ship stuck in a time loop and being pecked away at by vortisaurs, creatures that inhabit the time vortex. Considering it the only humane thing to do the Doctor decides to ram the ship to free the ship from the loop and let the passengers finally die in peace. This act leaves the TARDIS vulnerable and he materializes the ship at that exact point in the timestream to prevent further damage. This point just happens to be inside one of the ballasts on the R101. While the Doctor is doing a quick reconnaissance of just where the hell he is, the crew jettison the contents of the ballast, stranding the Doctor on the ship.

The Doctor soon runs into Charlotte (Charley) Pollard, a fellow stowaway and they uncover that there is more to the this flight than meets the eye. The R101 is on a secret mission to make contact with an alien ship to return a member of that species to their people and hopefully get some tech or other advancements in return. Things as always start to go south, and the Doctor and Charley are soon trying to stop an interplanetary war before it starts.

The first thing you’ll notice is there is a very good reason that the Doctor has companions, not only because they are cool and interesting, but so the Doctor has somebody to bounce off of. The Doctor is babbling so much to himself, expositing and narrating everything that he does that even the script has him call attention to it! You’ll be jumping for joy when the Doctor has to start talking to other people because all his yapping is just about to cross the threshold between quirky and irritating. This isn’t to say that what the Doctor is saying while he’s alone isn’t interesting, in fact the first few minutes are loaded with information and hints of trips that it would take the fans years to see (well, I suppose in this case the word “hear” would be more apropos), it just lacks something to balance it out.

India Fisher as Charley Pollard is always a treat to hear. She is just so energetic and enthusiastic about life and travel that it is impossible for most people not to like her. In fact, Charley is one of the most popular characters Big Finish ever created and for many is the companion most associated with the Eighth Doctor.

The main problem here is that while most of the seeds this story plants lead to wonderful and intriguing stories down the line, but this one, it is kind of dumb. Who is known for stretching the bounds of believability all the time, but they offset this with a clever enough plot and supporting characters so that the audience goes along with the story, and this is where Storm Warning falls flat. The supporting characters are silly, the aliens are sillier still, and how they beat the aliens is one of the silliest things I ever heard. The whole piece is too light in tone considering the real life tragedy that was the crashing of the R101. The Tenth Doctor story The Fires of Pompeii, which has many of the same ideas as Storm Warning and dealt with a real life disaster was also a very silly, but they knew how to stop and give the real life event the gravitas it deserved.

Storm Warning is one of those entries that is essential to a fascinating overall arc while not being very strong by itself. The Doctor and Charley are one of my favorite parings in all of Who, the chemistry McGann and Fisher have together is undeniable, but that alone does not a good story make. There isn’t anything offensively bad here, it is just fluffy and insubstantial. Pick it up so you can appreciate the greater arc, which is worth your time, but temper your expectations for this one.

As always, let me remind you that we have our own audio drama called Infinite Variations that you should give a listen to. So many cool people come together to make that show happen, so please do check it out if you haven’t already.

For next time, we’re going to get a little messy with:

Hello and welcome to One of Us’ brand new weekend feature, That’s Web-tastic! Starting with this inaugural edition, Mr. Chris Harrison and I will compete to find something we believe makes this whole internet thing worth it. We want to demonstrate why, after all the YouTube comment sections, echo-chamber news reporting, and anonymous ad hominem attacks on various social media sites, this little thing called the internet is still the one of the best things ever to happen in human history. A lofty goal no doubt, but we’re pretty good at this stuff.

Is it a real competition? Who can say? Is anyone keeping score? Probably not! Will there be prizes? Don’t count on it!

My entry this week is a brilliant Gravity parody video that beautifully depicts a situation I find myself suffering through often. As a twenty-something with little money and even less aesthetic taste, I rely on IKEA for many of my home furnishing needs. The problem is that unless I go alone or handcuff myself to whoever I’m with, inevitably someone is going to get lost. If you’re anything like me, you fruitlessly call your companion even though you know IKEA is the world’s most profitable dead zone. Hell, even if you do get an answer, how are you going to find your way to the Snguelfeld entertainment centers when you’re all the way with the Hah0dgh7m!o$h kitchen tables?!

Note: Swedish is a beautiful language and I encourage everyone to learn it.

People like me wring their hands and curse the rotten name of any deity they can recall. People like Daniel Hubbard write, direct, and star in excellently produced parody videos to vent their frustrations. Check out Hubbard’s IKEA below:

You gotta hand it to me Chris, that is quite web-tastic. Whaddaya got for me?

So often Dimitry, we recall horror stories using the Internet and yes, this is certainly spot on. However, my choice this week highlights that there is still hope for the human race and that the internet can still be used to bring some joy (well, that’s how it makes me feel anyway)

I’ve got a bit of an obsession for ‘Call me Maybe’ parodies. I can’t quite explain why, but I guess it’s that kind of catchy tune that is easily applied to other subjects. However, my choice this week is this fantastic chat Roulette video featuring internet user Steve Kardynal. Chat Roulette has this reputation of being purely for sex pests but this parodies that mentality and I love how people begin to join in and have an innocent laugh. Perhaps humanity isn’t lost after all?

It’s the closest to real life we’ve come to a musical and it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. admit it. ADMIT IT! It’s totally Web-Tastic, Dimitry.

Well, we’ll leave the decision to the fans out there. Which of these two videos deserves the honorific label of web-tastic? Let us know in the comments!

Fifty years ago today a little show aired over here in the UK. Hundreds of Episodes, countless enemies and Eleven (canon) faces later Doctor Who is now celebrating its fiftieth anniversary and is stronger than ever reaching an audience of millions not only in the UK, but all over the world.

We’ve had lots of content this week, including the spectacular ‘An Adventure in Space and Time’ featuring the trials and tribulations of the shows rough start and features David Bradley in a spectacular performance of First Doctor actor William Hartnell.

But, in mere hours the entire world will unite in front of TV’s and in Cinema’s all over in a live simulcast of the fiftieth anniversary episode ‘The Day of the Doctor’. You can expect plenty of Who content here on One Of Us in the coming week, including a Who centred episode of the INTERN-net Show (with special credits), Day of the Doctor reviews and even continuing reviews of Big Finish adventures from fellow Whovian John Eckes.

Right now, I want to extend a massive Happy Birthday to Doctor Who and here’s to the next fifty years!

I also want to extend my sympathies to my American Friends, many right here on One Of Us, who lost their President John F. Kennedy the day before on November 22nd.
