Gotham: “The Blind Fortune Teller” Photo Preview

The daily activities of Gotham apparently aren't enough of a circus for Jim Gordon. In "The Blind Fortune Teller," he takes Dr. Leslie Thompkins on a date to the circus but things go awry when the performers -- including the Flying Graysons - come under attack. It's been strongly hinted that The Joker will either appear in this episode or be given some strong set up, and you can spot a photo of the person who could be the iconic villain as played by Cameron Monaghan (Shameless) in the below gallery.

Outside the events of the circus, Bruce Wayne gets industrious and schedules a meeting with the board of Wayne Enterprises. Penguin still holds the night club, and Falcone recruits Fish Mooney's right-hand man Butch Gilzean to assist him.

Fifty Shades of Grey: So … How Big Was It?

There was no safe word rival movies could use to stop Fifty Shades of Grey from whipping their butts this weekend, both at home and abroad.

The highly-anticipated adaptation of the erotic bestseller dominated the domestic box office with an estimated $81.7 million, and grossed a staggering $158 million overseas, the biggest international opening of 2015 so far and the biggest R-rated opening ever internationally.

The Universal-Focus movie, reportedly budgeted at $40 million, currently has a worldwide cume of $239.7 million.

Fifty Shades' domestic haul makes it the biggest Valentine's Day weekend opening ever, and the second highest-grossing February release behind The Passion of the Christ ($83.8 million).

Emma Thompson May Join Live-Action Beauty and the Beast

Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks, Nanny McPhee) could be headed to Disney's live-action remake of their 1991 animated film Beauty and the Beast.

According to Daily Mail, Thompson is currently in negotiations to play Mrs. Potts, the motherly housekeeper-turned teapot who helps Belle adjust to life in the Beast's castle. Murder She Wrote's Angela Lansbury voiced the character in the original film.

Simpsons Exec Producer Shoots Down Fan Theory

A Simpsons fan theory that Homer has actually been in a coma since the 1993 episode "So It's Come to This: A Simpson's Clip Show" has been debunked by executive producer Al Jean.

The theory was proposed by a user on Reddit, saying that after being blown up by Bart's April Fool's Day prank, Homer went into a coma and never recovered. Thus, the show has just been all in his head. The claimed is backed up with evidence such as the characters staying the same age and that the plots "following the April Fools show are far zanier than beforehand."

However, Jean sets the record straight, telling TMZ, "It would mean back in 1993 we would presume the show was going on for years and years more and right before we left, threw this hidden monkey wrench in for all our successors."

Neverwinter Feels Great on Xbox One

Last weekend's Xbox One beta for Neverwinter convinced me that the game probably should have been on consoles all along. Cryptic's free-to-play MMORPG left a poor impression in comparison to its peers when I reviewed its PC release back in 2013, but there were signs of console promise even then, lurking in its heavy instancing and its unwillingness to bury players under piles of bloated abilities. Here, a simple shift in perspective allows some wrongs to become rights (and, alas, some rights to become wrongs). True, the opening 21 levels I played through haven't changed much since I first passed sentence on Neverwinter, but they felt much more enjoyable while plopped in a recliner in front of my TV with a gamepad in my hand.

The Walking Dead: “Them” Photo Preview

Rick Grimes's group of survivors has attracted nothing but bad luck lately. They recently lost Beth and Tyreese, and tonight's episode - titled "Them" - doesn't see things taking a turn for the better. The survivors are understandably worn down and depressed, and their current situation makes it worse. They desperately need water and food, and it looks like they're stuck in the open without their car.

Will they be able to keep trudging forward? See a couple of photos from the episode in the below gallery and judge for yourself.

Changes Made to Call of Duty’s Classic Multiplayer Modes

Team Deathmatch, Search & Destroy, and a number of other traditional multiplayer modes in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare have been condensed into one single playlist.

They have been made into Mosh Pit -- like the Mosh Pit modes found in other playlists --  which combines the Classic modes into one randomized set.

The Classic modes in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare are similar to the Standard, taking place on the same maps without the double jump and dash abilities typically granted by the new Exo Suits.

This change appears to be a recent one, possibly implemented in the same recent playlist update adding Gun Game and One Shot Mosh Pit.
