Doctor Who girl Amy Pond axed in ‘heartbreaking’ exit:

Sidekick search starts as companion couple leave next series

Doctor Who is in the market for a brand new sidekick, as current companions Amy and Rory Pond will leave the show during the next series in a “heartbreaking” fashion.

The show’s head honcho Steven Moffatt broke the news after a screening at BBC TV Centre last night of the Christmas special.

“The final days of the Ponds are coming,” he said. “I’m not telling you when or how, but that story is going to come to a heartbreaking end.”

He also said that the Doctor was going to make a “new friend”, but as far as anyone knows, the part has not been cast yet.

Study Finds Getting Smacked Right In The Mouth With A Goddamn Tree Branch Really Sucks:

BOSTON—According to a study published Monday in The New England Journal Of Medicine, getting smacked right across the mouth with a goddamn tree branch really fucking sucks, but after a minute or so, you’re pretty much fine.

The study, in which researchers at Boston University documented the reactions of more than 400 unsuspecting volunteers getting smacked right in the mouth with tree branches, found that regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, or socioeconomic background, a full-on, unexpected smack to the mouth with a stupid goddamn tree branch initially really blows, though the subject is more or less okay once a few minutes have passed.

Hugh Jackman’s The Wolverine Faces More Delays, May Shoot Next Year:

The planned sequel, which is supposed to reboot the wayward Marvel franchise, has faced far too many obstacles in the preproduction stage, from original director Darren Aronofsky’s abrupt departure to delays caused by the tsunami that rocked Japan (where The Wolverine hoped to film). James Mangold’s on board to direct, and Christopher McQuarrie reportedly turned in a stellar script. But we’re hearing the film might be delayed. Again.

We reported back in August that Fox likely wouldn’t start production on The Wolverine until next year at this point, even though it had set up shop in Vancouver for potential shoots. But Moviehole.net, in an “Ask Clint” column, reiterates that sources close to the production say they have been delayed and that “they’ll resume talks again next year.”

Resume talks? That doesn’t sound like they’re ready to shoot, at all.
