How did the long-lived RPG series help the flagging fortunes of developer Squaresoft in the late 80's? Documentary filmmaker Joshua Drew pieces together the history of the franchise from interviews and articles, assembling a portrait of a company teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and saved by one beloved franchise.

The video is the second installment of Drew's "All Your Complaints: History of Squaresoft" series, revealing some of the behind-the-scenes events surrounding the origins of the "Final Fantasy" franchise, including why series mastermind and head of development Hironobu Sakaguchi was once ready to leave games entirely.
"Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy Xiii" will be out next year, and the troubled Mmo "Final Fantasy Xiv" recently relaunched with "A Realm Reborn" to a lot of positive word of mouth.

On June 14, 2013, audiences around the world will get to see if the wait for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel was worth it. While many fans seem torn about whether or not the film holds any promise (it has to be better than Superman Returns), actor Henry Cavill seems to at least look the part. But there’s more to playing The Last Son of Krypton than just appearances, and not every actor gets it right. There are the subtle nuances that go with selling the character, not only as Superman himself, but also as his alter ego, reporter Clark Kent. In preparation for the upcoming film, I want to take a look at the actors who have played this iconic character over the years, and see how well each one has done in the role. For ease, we’ll stick with just the live-action versions.

The figures are in from Sunday night, revealing that the Mad Men Season 5 finale, “The Phantom”, is the highest rated finale of the series. The excellent episode had 2.7 million views on Sunday night, not accounting for repeat viewings or online viewers. This boost in viewings towards the end pushes up the season average viewers to 2.6 million, which means that Season 5 is the most watched season of Mad Men‘s entire run.
As AMC president Charlie Collier pointed out:
As in each season prior, season five is now Mad Men‘s most-watched season, an uncommon television growth record and a testament to the ongoing quality and uniqueness of this rare property.
It is strange for a show to gain viewers after such a long run, but the critical word of mouth on AMC’s awards darling has been positive enough to make more people tune in each year, which is bizarre...

Not since the announcement of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace has a film genuinely fitted the description of an ‘event’ movie. Even without Warner Brothers’ incessant use of the words ‘phenomenon’, ‘global’ and ‘event’, it’s almost impossible not to feel something when you’re gearing up for the end of a franchise as big as this.
When Warner said they were going to ‘beef up’ the ending, they weren’t kidding. This is everything – literally everything – that you could ever ask for from a finale. Essentially, it’s going to be two hours of things going boom.

The good news for Shemp-o-holics is that Sony has released, as part of their ongoing Three Stooges project, their first all-Shemp set. Last March's release, Volume Five, was Shemp-heavy, but kicked off with the final ten, quite depressing shorts with a badly debilitated Curly as the Third Stooge. Now we've got Shemp from start to finish, and the set includes (and why we note it here) a number of comical fantasy and horror yarns.
Right off the bat, in fact, we're in horror territory with "The Ghost Talks;" that's the good news. The bad news is that it's one of the weaker shorts in this collection--a precursor of the coming Joe Besser/Curly-Joe DeRita "Dark Ages" with a whimsical, kid-friendly "menace" and the Stooges acting like whiny, weepy kids. The storm-swept setting is Smorgasbord Castle where furniture movers Shemp, Larry and Moe encounter a talking suit of armor--the ghost of Peeping Tom,...
