Also from Cracked: The Hoverboard Lie: How Back to the Future Ruined Childhood.

Marvel is streaming X-Men: TAS on their site.

A couple of the endings of the Wolverine movie are revealed at Io9.

Because of the news of someone remaking Adventures in Babysitting, (which I’ve never seen) Joe Dante believes there could be a Gremlins 3 someday.

A new 10 second trailer for the Torchwood Children of Earth special can be found at Io9, over here.

I've been hearing about the Adventures in Babysitting remake for the last few years. The first I heard about it was that it would star Raven-Symoné. On the IMDB, the title for it is now listed as Further Adventures in Babysitting. So who knows if it will be a remake, a re-imagaing, using different characters, the same characters...oh well. It doesn't matter what they do; the original is very close to my heart so I won't be seeing this.

Adventures in Babysitting was fun. Gremlins 3? I don't know. It's been so long since I saw Gremlins, I can't remember, other than remembering I didn't like Gremlins 2 as much as the first.
