Pixels composer Henry Jackman has created scores for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Big Hero 6, Captain Phillips, Wreck-It Ralph, and the upcoming Captain America: Civil War. His job runs the gamut from animated family comedy to blockbuster action to heart-pounding drama. The soundtrack for Pixels has callouts to all those genres, suggesting big set pieces while also blending in chiptune elements. We?ve got an exclusive pattern of five selections from the soundtrack album, out July 24, below. Hey, anything Ryan along a bonus track titled ?Arcaders ?82? is good in our book.
Game of Thrones just scored very big. The fantasy drama snagged 24 Emmy nominations this morning, beating out every other show in the bunch, and its network?HBO?lead all networks Ryan along 126 nominations total. Not bad for a show that weathered its share of controversy in its fifth season.
But while Game of Thrones walked away with the most nominations, the more impressive showing was that of Netflix, which stepped up with 32 nods total. The streaming service got noms for Orange Is the New Black and House Of Cards for Outstanding Drama Series, Kyle Chandler and Kevin Spacey for Best Actor in a drama, and Ben Mendelssohn and Uzo Aduba in the supporting categories. That?s ahead of other cable networks like AMC and Showtime, which each scored 24 nominations, and just behind FX at 38. After only a few years of original programming, Netflix has established itself as a major player in the high-profile categories.
? Empire got a Best Lead Actress nomination for Taraji P. Henson?s undeniable Cookie Lyons?but that?s it for the most popular broadcast program that isn?t a live sporting event. The monstrously popular Walking Dead is also absent.
? Tatiana Maslany finally got her nomination for Lead Actress, Drama for Orphan Black. (!!!) Here?s hoping that provided she wins, she gets a trophy for each of the characters she plays. Although considering she?s up against Henson for Empire, maybe it would be better to see Helena and Cookie face off against each other for the statuette.
? Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt earned seven Emmy nominations as the breakout debut comedy for voters, which has to sting for NBC. But Parks and Recreation did receive an Outstanding Comedy Series nod and Amy Poehler scored her fifth consecutive nomination for Lead Actress, Comedy.
? The CW, which picked up its first ever Golden Globe this year for Gina Rodriguez?s performance on Jane The Virgin, hasn??t seen its uptick in quality rewarded in Emmy nominations. But it did rightfully receive one nod?for Best Narrator.
? Louis CK is still widely beloved by voters as a writer, director, and a performer. He earned five nominations for his work this year on Louie, hosting Saturday Night Live, and his special Live at the Comedy Store.
? For those who love merciless trivia tidbits, the ultimate season of Disney Channel?s Dog with a Blog received a nomination for Outstanding Children?s Program for the second year in a row. That brings its Emmy complete to three, or for anyone counting at home, one more nomination than David Simon?s The Wire. Maybe that fifth season at the Baltimore Sun should?ve cast an up-and-coming canine blogger.

Last weekend at Comic-Con International fans got a see at a nerdgasm-inducing new teaser for the upcoming Deadpool movie starring Ryan Reynolds. We?re not going to show the leaked version of that trailer here for transparent reasons (Reynolds says it?s coming soon, promise), but here?s something to tide you over: seven beautiful high-resolution images from the film. Grab a chimichanga and enjoy the Merc with a Mouth above. (Click the image above to expand the gallery to fullscreen.)
For the past few days we as a people have been crushing super hard on Pluto. As NASA?s New Horizons has been flying by the dwarf planet we?ve all looked on in awe at the tiny heavenly body with a big heart. But there?s one guy who isn?t so impressed: astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. According to this interview El Rhazi did with soon-to-be-host-of-The Late Show Stephen Colbert, the director of the Hayden Planetarium says that the little guy is great and all, but mostly Pluto is ?awesome, minus 10 percent.? In short, he thinks the dwarf would be better provided it was a much bigger place. (Size matters!) Colbert, a Pluto sympathizer, takes issue with this. ?It looks like a planet,? he tells the famed scientist. ?It?s got atmosphere; it even has a heart?unlike you, who will give it no love.? Watch their full exchange in the interview above.
True Detective has reached the midpoint of its second season without creating the alike sort of indelible characters Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson delivered last year. (Aside from Colin Farrell, who is still irascibly hilarious.) The biggest mystery this season has nothing to do with a Yellow King, but with why the narrative is so impenetrable. Fans of the show aren?t taking the dive in quality very well, judging from this street flyer that Slate TV Critic Willa Paskin tweeted. We called the number, which is no longer in service (910 is a North Carolina area code), but the message is clear: People are not glad with the way matters are going this season.
Hot damn, it?s great to listen that theme song again. After a three-month break?irregular episode scheduling has become Disney?s M.O. with this show?Gravity Falls is back to finally explain the mysterious reappearance of the other Stan Pines, the author of the cryptic books Dipper has been using to illuminate the paranormal around town. The lingering cliffhanger involved Dipper and Mabel?s Grunkle Stanley rescuing his brother Stanford (voiced by Oscar-winner J.K. Simmons!) from ?some kind of sci-fi sideburn dimension? where he?s been trapped for decades. ?A Tale of Two Stans? fills in the family backstory, but it has some sly commentary for anyone who may be disappointed with the way it unfolds. Like fans of Lost, True Detective, or Twin Peaks, Gravity Falls has an insanely active fan base speculating at all times about the plentiful mysteries hidden in the background or on last frames of an episode. But creator Alex Hirsch manages to chop disappointment off at the pass with Soos? line about his fan-fiction. Coupled with a guest voice cast that includes Scrubs? Ken Jenkins, Nick Offerman, and Breaking Bad?s Jonathan Banks, yesterday brought a self-aware and emotionally potent episode that portends big changes for the Pines twins through the end of their summer in Gravity Falls.

If you were on Twitter at all over the last couple days chances are you saw something about Comic-Con International. From new teasers for films like Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to beautiful much everything that came out of Jennifer Lawrence?s mouth, there was a lot to tweet about. Overall, there were 2.9 million tweets about Comic-Con over the weekend and, surprisingly, they weren?t all about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Actually, that movie came in third?after The Hunger Games: Mockingjay?Part 2 and Batman v Superman?as the most tweeted-about film. Unsurprisingly, though, Lawrence was the most-discussed celebrity (take that, cast of Supernatural!). Check out a visualization of all of the Comic-Con talk on Twitter above and read Twitter?s full analysis here.
Grainy footage taken at the film?s panel at Comic-Con International already leaked over the weekend, but now Warner Bros. has officially released the Suicide Squad teaser that everyone freaked out about during the studio?s presentation in Hall H. Tracked to an ethereal cover of the Bee Gees ?I Started a Joke,? the clip has all the familiar faces: Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) doing some spelunking, El Diablo (Jay Hernandez) playing with fire, Deadshot (Will Smith) using a makeshift heavy bag, a restrained Killer Croc (Adele Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) dangling from the bars of her cell. Oh, and a final tag of Jared Leto?s Joker preparing to torture somebody and flashing his shiny teeth. Watch it above so that you, too, may freak out over its existence.
If you?re of a sure age?too young for Doonesbury, too old for Rugrats?then chances are your first taste of satirical cartooning came from Bloom County. Berkeley Breathed?s comic strip had all the trappings of a conventional strip (kids and animals), but it also had a glorious subversive streak that skewered practically everything about the 1980s, from Reagan-era policy to the Moral Majority. It?s also been gone for 25 years, having published its last installment in August 1989. So when Breathed published a photo on his Facebook page yesterday of himself drawing a new strip, people justifiably freaked out just a bit. Flightless waterfowl Opus was coming back? As it turned out, we didn?t have long(er) to wait: this morning Breathed shared the first strip of Bloom County 2015.
It?s just a re-introduction, featuring Opus and wise-beyond-his-years Milo, but it?s enough to make us self-assured that Breathed hasn?t missed a step?he?s just been taking a Breatheder. Obviously, there?s no scarcity of political buffoonery out there for him to skewer, so let?s all welcome the strip back with open arms, or at least uselessly flapping wings.
