If Ghostbusters 3 ever actually happens, it will be because Dan Aykroyd literally willed it into existence. Here's the actor-writer's latest public comments on the long-gestating project, where he dished some plot details to Larry King during a recent interview:
The great pixel density war continues, unabated. Sure, the hardware industry is reaching a point where the human eye can barely detect the difference, but outdoing the competition is just the way the game is played. Samsung has announced a new high-res laptop display for exhibition during Display Week in Vancouver, reports SlashGear. Incredibly, the new screen even beats out Apple's Retina displays and Google's Chromebook Pixel.
Silver Reel and Lotus Entertainment are now teaming with di Bonaventura Pictures to make an English language remake of South Korea's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, the first part in the Vengeance Trilogy.

Did you love Patton Oswalt's Star Wars filibuster on Parks and Recreation? So did we. Someone loved it enough to take the time to animate it using various stills and images.

It looks like David Fincher's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is coming up for air yet again. Disney's Jules Verne adaptation has officially been delayed, with the studio halting production until next year.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald (via The Film Stage and /Film), this latest snag stems from casting issues. For some time, Fincher had been courting Brad Pitt to star as the film's master harpooner Ned Land, but the actor ultimately turned down the role. Channing Tatum was in talks to replace him, but apparently that didn't work out either.

Note: Full spoilers for Supernatural: Season 8 follow.
While the previous season of Supernatural was a disappointment, they at least had the good grace a year ago to leave things in an interesting spot, which gave Season 8 a good chance of starting things off well. And the show did not drop the ball. What we got was a solid season-long mythology storyline, some great supporting characters, and of course, a lot of the always reliable backbone of the show – Sam and Dean Winchester.
Beginning a year after the events of the previous season, things kicked off with Dean’s return from Purgatory. While Dean was gone, Sam had given up hunting, fallen in love and was living a normal life. During the first half of the season the separation between the brothers in terms of what they wanted out of life was reminiscent of the first year of the show, with Dean fully committed to the hunting lifestyle and Sam yearning for what he had with Amelia.
