• With a realistic CG bear, Paddington is kind of a freaky looking adaptation of the children’s book series.

• Did you guys know Robert Downey Jr. does movies OTHER than Iron Man? Look for him as a lawyer defending his father in a murder case in this October’s The Judge.

• That’s some high quality E3 reporting, Los Angeles Times!

Comics

• It’s wise cracks versus trick arrows, as Hawkeye vs. Deadpool kicks off this October.

TV

• Hope you aren’t too attached to True Detective. Creator Nic Pizzolatto says he can only see the anthology series going for three seasons.

• Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever hits Lifetime this Christmas. Airing at 14:59, I assume.

Tech

• OK, so Apple has the coolest cafeteria ever.

Toys

• Mattel has extended their agreement with DC Comics to be their primary toy licensee. Expect toys for the comics, movies such as Batman v Superman, and even the Arrow and Flash TV shows in the near future.

Music

• Weezer’s new album - which I will continue to hope will be the next Pinkerton, even though no album since has even touched it - will be titled Everything Will Be Alright In The End.

So ends another Daily Blast! See you back here on Monday!
