50 Joss Whedon Quotes For His 50th Birthday

by 7 mins ago

On June 23, 1964 — 50 years ago today — Joss Whedon came into this world. That date also kicked off a half-century of badass characters and wisdom dropping from the creator of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” and “Firefly” and the assembler of the Avengers.

We love Joss Whedon, and we can think of no better way of celebrating his 50 years on this planet than by taking a look back at some of his own words that capture his intelligence and wit.

“I think there’s a lot of people out there who say we must not have horror in any form, we must not say scary things to children because it will make them evil and disturbed… That offends me deeply, because the world is a scary and horrifying place, and everyone’s going to get old and die, if they’re that lucky. To set children up to think that everything is sunshine and roses is doing them a great disservice.” Source

“You can either watch TV or you can make TV.” Source

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by and they CANCELLED MY FRIKKIN’ SHOW. I totally shoulda took the road that had all those people on it. Damn.” Source

“My visions of the future are always pretty much standard issue. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer… and there are flying cars.” Source: “Fray” foreword

“Very occasionally, if you really pay attention, life doesn’t suck.” ...

New ‘The Purge: Anarchy’ Trailer Will Freak You Out

by 27 mins ago

We can’t imagine anything much more anarchic than “The Purge,” a movie in which the laws are suspended for 24 hours and Ethan Hawke tries desperately to survive the night. Like, we thought that was the actual definition of anarchy — lawlessness — but now that we’ve seen the new trailer for sequel “The Purge: Anarchy,” we know what anarchy really means.

It means Frank Grillo, Kiele Sanchez and Zach Gilford running (literally) for their garsh darn lives while (literal) anarchy reigns. They’re somehow kidnapped, along with several other friends, and their lives are sold to the highest bidder as a bougie crowd watches them try to survive the night on the street.

Um, hello nightmares. Welcome. Stay a while. Don’t mind us while we sleep with the lights on and the windows tightly closed.

“The Purge: Anarchy” hits theaters July 18.

5 Things That Most Commonly Kill A ‘Teen Wolf’ Fan’s Buzz

by 22 mins ago

The “Teen Wolf” Season 4 premiere is almost upon us, and we’re feeling alllllll the feels right now. The show is a drug, and we’re jonesing for our fix! Sadly, though, there are people, places and things that threaten to kill our natural high, and it’s up to us to guard against them. Here’s a list of the biggest offenders — avoid them at all costs from the hours of 10/9c-11/10c tonight.

1. When a family member suddenly decides that they’d like to “see what this Teen Wolf show is all about,” then proceeds to bombard you with questions throughout the entire hour.

2. That person who tells you it’s “just a show.” They need to back the eff up:

3. That nagging feeling your favorite character could get murdered any minute.

How ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ Made One Of Its Top-Secret Cameos Possible

by 53 mins ago

With Reporting by Josh Horowitz

Warning: Major spoilers for “X-Men: Days of Future Past” lie ahead.

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” is without peer in the superhero movie genre, in terms of the sheer size and scope of its cast. Mutants from two different generations collide in a battle-for-it-all against the Sentinels, mutant-hunting machines that ravage our heroes in both the distant past and the not-too-distant future.

But walking out of the theater, fans were surprised to see a trio of unexpected X-Men resurface: Famke Janssen as Jean Grey, James Marsden as Scott “Cyclops” Summers, and Kelsey Grammer as Hank “Beast” McCoy. With Cyclops and Jean dead, and Grammer’s Beast not seen since Brett Ratner’s “X-Men: The Last Stand,” it was surprising to see these characters in the bright-and-happy future created by Wolverine and young Charles Xavier.

We know how these characters returned from beyond the grave in the context of the movie. But how did the characters come back without fans noticing?

In the case of Grammer’s Beast, the “Transformers: Age of Extinction” star told MTV that he was sworn to secrecy about his cameo, and was tasked with flying on “the tiniest jet you had ever seen” leaving John F. Kennedy airport in New York to arrive on the Canada set of “Days of Future Past” without drawing attention. Even then, rumors floated around that Grammer was filming a secret “X-Men” cameo.

Logistics aside, what was it that convinced Grammer to return as Beast? Apparently, it ...

Demi Lovato’s ‘Really Don’t Care’ Teaser: Just In Time For Pride

by 12 mins ago

There’s a whole lot of mystery packed into this teaser for Demi Lovato’s “Really Don’t Care” video featuring Cher Lloyd. What I can reveal to you for certain, though, is that the clip was filmed during Ms. Demetria Devonne’s performance during Los Angeles’ Gay Pride Parade on June 8 — she served as Grand Marshal, FYI — and that the video will drop in full on Thursday.

Beyond those two indisputable truths, Lovatics? You can go ahead and set those imaginations to “running wild.” Try not to hurt yourselves!

More Unreleased 2Pac Greatness: Check Out This Letter He Sent Chuck D

by 12 mins ago

June has been an amazing month for previously unearthed Tupac material.

A few weeks back, a 22-minute phone call from 1995 between the late rapper and Sanyika Shakur, a gang member turned author, waas posted on YouTube. The two discussed registering voters, trying to ignite social change and plenty more.

The call was recorded just days after ‘Pac was released from jail in late 1995. Not long before that, he wrote Chuck D a letter, which the Public Enemy front man decided to share on Twitter over the weekend.

It seems that this is ‘Pac returning a letter that Chuck had written to him, and says he was “touched” by the “show of support.”

He also wrote that he had a part for the Public Enemy rapper in a movie, and wanted to work with him on a “program” that he was putting together, and asked if he’d appear on a song for his upcoming album.

‘Pac ended his letter powerfully. “I do believe we can make a difference and I have every intention of doing just that,” he wrote.

I'm serious about these snacks. Catch me @adamfleischer

Helena Bonham Carter Reveals The Secret of ‘Harry Potter’ Villain Bellatrix Lestrange

by 16 mins ago

Helena Bonham Carter is at the opening of Universal Orlando’s The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley to talk about being bad. But for her upcoming role as The Fairy Godmother in Disney’s live-action reimagining of “Cinderella,” she’s channeling something completely different than the “Harry Potter” movie’s evil second-in-command, Bellatrix Lestrange.

“Yeah, she’s good!” Carter said, laughing, as she told MTV News about the “Cinderella” role. “She has a wand, she has teeth, but they’re perfect.”

Carter is well known for her out there — and in recent years, evil — characters like Lestrange, which she played over four “Harry Potter” movies, as well for scenes filmed for the new ride “Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts,” which opens on July 8. But when she graces screens in 2015, it’s for a part about as far from Lestrange as you can get.

The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter Diagon Alley At Universal Orlando Resort - Day 3

Still, according to Carter, being pure good doesn’t mean there aren’t challenges.

“It’s an icon, it’s a tricky one because a fairy godmother, everyone has an idea of a fairy godmother,” Carter continued, as she sat right outside a replica of the “Harry Potter” films’ evil Knockturn Alley. “And also it’s kind of difficult to believe yourself as a fairy godmother, because it’s like a myth. You try and reinvent it, try ...

Ed Sheeran’s X: An Album Cheat Sheet

by 20 mins ago

Ed Sheeran’s x is out today. Rejoice! I’m feeling confident that you Sheerios have already purchased the album (Harry Styles has), but here are a few facts about the album you can take in while listening.

The Name
The album’s title is x, as in the mathematical function, not the alphabetical letter. So when you write it, type “x,” but when you say it (proudly, of course), it’s pronounced “multiply.” Just like Sheeran’s debut album +, which was pronounced “plus.” x, multiply, x, multiply, x, multiply. Got it?

The Release Date
It’s today, you bonehead!

Sorry about that. x is out Monday, June 23. Ed announced the date back on April 4, but had been contemplating it for a long while.

“I’m basically going to be promoting this ["Hobbit"] song up until awards season, and then as soon as awards season is done, the next album begins,” Sheeran told us in December, referring to his chance at a 2014 Academy Awards nomination. He didn’t get one, but we sure are glad he’s focusing on his sophomore album. Have you heard it? It sounds like audible foot rubs and crackling fires and maybe, like, a taste of champagne at a discotheque.

The Track List
“One”
“I’m a Mess”
“Sing”
“Don’t”
“Nina”
“Photograph”
“Bloodstream”
“Tenerife Sea”
“Runaway”
“The Man”
“Thinking Out Loud”
“Afire Love”
“Take It Back” (Bonus track)
“Shirtsleeves” (Bonus track)
“Even My Dad Does Sometimes” (Bonus track)
“I See Fire” (Bonus track)

The Video
If you love Muppets getting drunk, loading ladies into a Hummer limo, and puking glitter into a urinal, the “Sing” video is going to work ...

Ansel Elgort’s Next Role Couldn’t Be More Different From ‘Fault In Our Stars’

by 25 mins ago

And for his next trick, “The Fault In Our Stars” actor Ansel Elgort will take on the role of… a 1950s piano player who is credited with bridging the Cold War gap?

Okay, so it’s a far cry from Augustus Waters, but Elgort seems to be the perfect candidate for the lead in the “Van Cliburn” biopic, which is based on Howard Reich’s book. Per Deadline, Elgort will be bringing Harvey Lavan “Van” Cliburn, Jr.’s 20-something years — the years in which he won the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow, with Nikita Kruschev’s approval — to life, which is perfect given their physical similarities (Van Cliburn was tall, Elgort is an actual giant), as well as the fact that Elgort can actually play the piano.

Van Cliburn — who was also a quietly gay Baptist — definitely has a big screen-worthy story, and it will be great to see Elgort stretching his acting chops for this decidedly more adult (than “TFIOS” and “Divergent,” anyway) role. When the 23-year-old Julliard-trained pianist won the competition in 1958, it was during a time when Kruschev used the contest as a tool to highlight Soviet superiority over the United States. However, after an eight-minute standing ovation, Kruschev agreed with the judges that the Texas native was most deserving and gave him the prize.

From then on, Van Cliburn was a favorite in both Russia and the States, until he abruptly stopped playing 20 years later. It will be interesting to find out ...

’24: Live Another Day’: Is [SPOILER] Really Dead?

by 11 mins ago

Warning: Major spoilers for last week’s “24: Live Another Day” are ahead.

During the most recent hour of “24: Live Another Day,” the legendary real-time thriller did the unthinkable and killed off…

No, not Jack Bauer. He’s invincible. Instead, the show killed off…

No, not Audrey, either. She’s been through enough — including the apparent demise of…

…her father, President James Heller.

Last week’s hour, set between 6 and 7PM, saw Heller make the ultimate sacrifice: In order to prevent further drone strikes on London, he offered himself up to terrorist Margot Al-Harazi, a move intended to stop the bloodshed. Margot (played by Michelle Fairley, best known to “Game of Thrones” fans as Catelyn Stark) swore she would honor the agreement if Heller arrived at Wembley Stadium alone, ready to die. Heller held up his end of the deal (albeit with Jack in tow, unknown to Margot), Margot locked onto Heller’s position from a miles-high drone, and dropped a bomb right on his head.

Or did she?

The viewing public at large believes Heller is gone. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time “24″ killed off a main character. Heck, it wouldn’t be the first time “24″ killed off the President of the United States. (Pour one out for the Palmer brothers and John Keeler.) But there are enough reasons to believe that Heller’s still alive:

There Was No Silent Clock: Always the tell-tale sign. If a major “24″ character dies at the end of an episode or ...
