Which is appropriate, since both Wheel of Fortune and rumored headliner Soundgarden haven’t mattered since the 1990s. Either way, Lolla’s website has a teaser of their line-up with all the letters removed except for O. Still, the Spoonmen seem to fit well in that first blank, while other rumored artists Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire and [...]

Bubble Watch: ABC Renews Castle
Though Castle isn’t a show we usually cover here at TUIW, we’re big fans of Nathan Fillion, thus making it great news to hear Michael Ausiello report that ABC has renewed the show for a 22-episode third season.

Oh No! It’s (Another) Godzilla!
Godzilla used to be awesome. The original films set the standard for monster disaster movies. Then they started sucking. Then Roland Emmerich made one. Needless to say, Godzilla has been absent for the last 12 years. But he’s back! Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, 300) has acquired the rights to make a new American Godzilla [...]
