How to Prepare for Amazon Prime Day 2019
Tim Allen Answers the Buzz Lightyear Question You’ve Always Had
Tim Allen has answered a question that has long eluded fans: what does Buzz Lightyear’s hair look like under that purple Snoopy cap?
At the press junket for Toy Story 4, an audience member asked what kind of haircut Buzz Lightyear has. “He has alopecia is the problem. He has pattern baldness a little. That balaclava that he wears – it’s for fireproofing,” Allen joked. “No, actually, he’s got a beautiful head of hair underneath there. It’s rather curly. And he’s got a man bun under all that.”
Of course (and Buzz knows this well): he’s just a toy, so all that’s really under that balaclava is just more plastic. Still, some fans have wondered exactly what kind of hair he’s got going on under his helmet, and now you can imagine beautiful, flowing locks that he keeps hidden in a bun to focus on saving the galaxy.
A New Ape Escape Game May be on the Way
While the world waits for King Kong to eventually get around to fighting Godzilla, another brand of apes are quietly waiting for their moment to shine once again. A new Ape Escape game may be in the works, if some suspicious tweets are to be believed.
A relatively new Twitter account by the name of @piposaru20th tweeted out this image, along with the translated caption: “Piposar (20 years since then. I’ve been running around, but i wonder if there’s anyone chasing me anymore.” The image shows a titular ape from the Ape Escape franchise peeking around a tree.
WWE Stomping Grounds: Live Results And Review Of The 2019 PPV
It’s time for another WWE PPV. Stomping Grounds, the latest event, takes place at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. The card is stacked, with nine matches taking place over the evening, seven of which are championship bouts, including one of in a steel cage.
There are some standout fights on the card, even if the show as a whole feels a tad lackluster. Kofi Kingston will defend his WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler, and Kingston told GameSpot recently that he compares this rivalry, in a sense, to Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels. Additionally, we spoke to the champ about his work on the video gaming channel UpUpDownDown. This bout will take place in a steel cage, so it should be exciting. Additionally, Baron Corbin challenges Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship, and hopefully, Brock Lesnar doesn’t cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase.
For the women’s division, there are two high-profile championship matches. First, Becky Lynch takes on Lacey Evans again, and Lynch will have to defend her Raw Women’s Championship in the bout. Per usual, we’re predicting Lynch to retain her title. On Smackdown, champion Bayley faces Alexa Bliss, who will have Nikki Cross in her corner. How will Cross come into play and will she realize she’s on the wrong side of this war? We’ll find out tonight.
Below, you’ll find the full card for Stomping Grounds.
Stomping Grounds Match Card:
- Seth Rollins (c) vs. Baron Corbin (Universal Championship)
- Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler (Steel Cage Match for the WWE Championship)
- Becky Lynch (c) vs. Lacey Evans (Raw Women’s Championship)
- Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss (Smackdown Women’s Championship)
- Daniel Bryan & Rowan (c) vs. Heavy Machinery (Smackdown Tag Team Championships)
- Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre
- Samoa Joe (c) vs. Ricochet (United States Championship)
- Big E & Xavier Woods vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
- Tony Nese (c) vs. Akira Tozawa vs. Drew Gulak (Cruiserweight Championship)
Adult Swim’s Final Space Will Fill the Rick and Morty Void in Your Life
Final Space was a bit of an oddity when it premiered on TBS last year. The network is not known for their original animated offerings, and its candy-coated visuals may have kept the door closed on older viewers who didn’t want to spend time with a show that looked like it was for kids.
Why then was late-night legend Conan O’Brien championing the show, attaching himself to it as executive producer? Why were science-fiction and comedy mainstays like David Tennant, Fred Armisen, and Ron Perlman lending their voices to its characters? (Alan Tudyk, Christopher Judge, Claudia Black, and Jane Lynch are all joining the voice cast in the second season.) Just like its mascot Mooncake, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye, and series creator Olan Rogers is focusing on making that clear in Season 2.
NBA 2K19 Community Angered by Seemingly Unskippable Ads
NBA 2K19 players are complaining that unskippable ads are surfacing in the basketball sim game across multiple platforms.

2K.”
Every Pixar Movie’s Opening Weekend Box Office
(This is an update to a Pixar box office article originally published in 2017.)
Toy Story 4 opened to an estimated $118 million at the North American box office, easily debuting at No. 1. While that amount is well below industry expectations for the film — which had been widely pegged as opening with as much as $140 million — it’s still the biggest opening weekend ever in the Toy Story franchise. It’s also the third biggest opening weekend (domestically) for a Pixar release.
Last year’s Incredibles 2 remains the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Pixar movie, earning $182.7 million when it bowed in June 2018. That’s followed by 2016’s Finding Dory with $135.1 million.
Jeff Goldblum Admits He’s Never Played a Video Game in His Life
Mega-star and internet darling Jeff Goldblum has admitted he’s never played a video game in his entire life.
Page Six reports it was during a Cannes Lions talk on Thursday when Goldblum stated to the crowd that he’s never actually played a video game despite being in them.
“I know nothing about gaming even though I’ve been the voices for, what was it called? ‘Call of Duty.’ ‘Black Ops,’ I think,” said Goldblum to the crowd.
“We were killing zombies, I think. ‘Jurassic Park,’ I did that thing where I play my character Ian Malcolm … so I’m involved in that, but I’ve never in fact played a video game in my life.”
Netflix’s Dark Season 2 Review
This is a (mostly) spoiler-free review for Dark Season 2. All 8 episodes are now available to binge on Netflix worldwide. For every upcoming show and movie headed to Netflix in July, click here.
Simply put, Netflix’s Dark is a damn intimidating series to watch, with its dense time-travel narrative and a lengthy list of characters to remember – especially considering Season 1 premiered back in 2017. (Thankfully, if you need a refresher, Netflix provides a helpful 3-minute Season 1 recap before you start your binge.)
The decades-long saga surrounding the mysterious German town of Winden needs your full attention in order to comprehend just what the hell is happening from moment to moment; Dark isn’t a look at your phone while you watch kind of show… And that’s OK. Season 2 has a rich world full of complex characters and fascinating apocalyptic paradoxes to unpack.
