Weekly Weblinks: Moonrise and Marvels

It’s Friday morning (at least if I actually schedule this correctly this week!) and so it’s time once again for the Weekly Weblinks. Every week I select a handful of blog posts that I’ve enjoyed reading, and feature them here to spread the word and help build the community. This week’s selection of blog posts includes a couple reviews of newly-released movies, an in-depth look at Alfred Hitchcock’s cinematography, and more.

Also included are a few tidbits of news, which this week mostly consists of superhero movie rumors, as well as the latest from our favorite corporate nutcases at Hasbro, so read on!

News: Hasbro plans 4th Transformers film, other assorted nonsense

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hasbro is in talks with Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg to produce a fourth entry in the live-action Transformers franchise. Additionally, they are revamping the script for a movie based on the Ouija board “game” after Universal dropped the project, and plans are going forth with movies based on Micronauts, Candyland, Risk, Stretch Armstrong, Clue and Monopoly. Plus, of course, they have Battleship coming out next year.

I have a headache. I think it’s from slamming my head into the keyboard at the sheer absurdity of it all.
