Frozen vegetables are a staple in many diets, so a huge recall of them has us peering at the packages in our freezers.

On Tuesday evening, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced an outbreak of the deadly Listeria monocytogenes bacteria — and frozen vegetables and fruits are believed to be the cause.

More than 350 products like green beans, broccoli, peas and blueberries sold under 42 brands at grocers including Safeway, Costco and Trader Joe’s in the U.S. and Canada have now been recalled.

The Sneak Peek of Wonder Woman Movie Will Give You Chills

Wonder Woman will be on the big screen for the first time in two months in Batman v Superman. And that’s great but what fans have waited a loooong time for is a Wonder Woman movie. That will be out next year but last night we got our first glimpse at live footage and it looks very promising. Hell it’s a Wonder Woman movie - I was shaking when I saw it. IT’S A WONDER WOMAN MOVIE.

The movie is set in the early part of the 20th century in WW I, a generation earlier than when the character debuted in comics. It will be interesting to see what the plot is there but I hope it at least touches on the suffragette movement and doesn’t use the time frame to avoid diversity in casting.

But let’s take a look at some of the footage first before we discuss any further.

Can I tell you how am happy the words “Feminist Cultural Icon” is stated in reference to the character given 1) the mealy mouth bullshit the current creative team used and 2) Given the perceived demographic for superhero movies I was actually surprised they went there. 

The costumes look good, the action looks exciting (racing horses?!!) and while we have still yet to hear Gal Gadot say anything as Diana (beyond some yips and growls) so I still don’t know what kind of acting chops she brings but I thought the scene where she tries on the glasses was promising. It does seem that they are going toward the same dark color palette as the MOS and B v S, but it actually did seemed to work give the time period.

We won’t see the final version until June 23 of next year but right now I would say I am very optimistic. Thoughts?

I had a dream I lived in a crystal palace and David Bowie was a prince that came to visit me. He left me a magical crystal CD with his music and a  holographic message on it that I needed to decipher to complete my quest.

We’ve got movie sign, MSTies: Joel Hodgson, a.k.a. “Joel,” has officially launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring back Mystery Science Theater 3000 after 16 years. (It was canceled in 1999.) The campaign quietly appeared on the MST3K official website earlier this morning, confirming suspicions raised by vague promises of “big news coming soon” on the Rifftrax and MST3K social-media channels. The campaign has the rather lofty goal of $2 million, which Hodgson says will enable him to make three full-length episodes of MST3K. With three additional episodes per $1.1 million raised over the original goal, that’s $5.5 million for a full 12-episode season. But if Zach Braff can do it, so can Joel and the bots.
