We've all got friends (presumably). We all know deeply uninteresting people we've found ourselves in the unfortunate situation of being friends with. You've probably met someone at some form of social function who is so totally devoid of a personality and you’d really like to just turn 360 degrees and moonwalk away from that conversation, but social laws say that’s rude and you’re forced to endure painful second after painful second of their sanity shattering voice. That’s how I feel about the trailer for the Fantastic Four reboot that landed yesterday. I know that it will be the big story this week and therefore I have to comment on it, but Jesus Christ, I really don’t want to.
I love comic book movies, they’re my life blood at the box office and have been since the early 2000’s. But I’ve never had to drag myself through one. So, why am I deeply worried that I’ll be dragging myself through Fox’s latest effort? To find out, and watch the new trailer, read on.
Since my delve into the terrible world of online dating, I’ve seen more pictures of dicks than any male of my sexual orientation should ever have to. I’ve personally never understood why this phenomenon has caught on, because it takes the idea of mating and reduces it to its lowest form, like a lion who sits in a mound of shit with its ass in the air. It cuts out all of the foreplay involved in getting to know someone and immediately wants to get down to business. It reduces us to our most primal form. It’s a common fact that humans are one of the very few species on earth who have sex purely for enjoyment, which alone makes us both unique and stupid.
"But my girlfriend wants to see it!" Yeah, okay.
Now, before you read ahead, please be aware that this article is nasty. It’s a little different to my last two because I’m using the people who’ve messaged me as examples rather than messing with them directly. There’s talk of anal sex, childhood traumas, putting foreign objects in your ass, and Elvis. If this isn’t your thing, there’s some other things on this site that will take your fancy, but for now I’m dealing with important issues. So, read on if you're down for the ride into the peculiar world of perversion.
This week on Foul Entertainment is a dark week. That means that you're unlikely to see any new content until Monday 26th January rolls around in a few days time. We're sorry that we weren't able to bring you all the features you (presumably) love this week; our reasons are shitty, but they are reasons nonetheless.  Here's why we're dark this week.
This week, Mike, Darren and Joe take to their podiums to argue their cases for the best and worst things about: Wrestling Quentin Tarantino The Music Industry The UK Shoes Shopping Stand Up Comedians and Vampires As always, for more of this nonsense, you can visit out SoundCloud or subscribe to us via iTunes! Pop Culture Club - Ten Things You May Have Missed in the new Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer14/1/2015
Our second big look at Avengers: Age of Ultron dropped the other night and whilst we didn’t get a look at a whole lot of new stuff (Vision, I’m looking at you), there was a number of cool little things that stuck out to me as a film and comic book fanatic.
No criticism here. This looks amazing.
Follow me after the jump to watch the new trailer and for ten things that you may have overlooked in the new trailer.
A friend of mine once told me; "it’s not cheating if you don’t cum". I’ll let you be the judge as to whether this statement is the poetic ideology of a sexual genius, or the abhorrent justifications of a cheating asshole. We can all agree that cheating is universally regarded as a bad thing, although some statistics might have you believe the otherwise. Not to mention that defining cheating is probably more hassle than actually doing it. However, my philanderous friend raises a good question in where does the line between monogamy and cheating end? What about the annual kiss I have to give my Mom at Christmas? What about the weekly kiss I give your mom on her FUPA? What I'm asking is; is there a clear, distinct moment when it becomes clear, like in Bridget Jones? Or is it interpretive and blurry, like in Terminator 2?

To answer this question with some degree of authority, I consulted with some of my new friends over at Plenty of Fish. Hit the 'Read more' button to find out what they have to say about cheating.

Ant-Man is the next Marvel superhero to get his own Cinematic Universe solo outing. Last night, a trailer for the movie, which drops in July, came out during the premiere of Agent Carter. The decision to release Ant-Man in July is another bold move from Marvel; giving one of their premier summer movie slots to a hero who has thus far been absent from the MCU. The last time that happened, I had faith in Marvel and was proven right to have done so. I had loud confidence in Guardians of the Galaxy in the years before its release, nobody thought would work, but in the end, it did. Ant-Man, however, has me worried and there are many reasons for this. At this point, anything Marvel Studios makes should be a shoe-in success, but Ant-Man is giving me serious concerns, even following the release of the trailer.
Starring blank space as Ant-Man! Oh, wait...
The first big trailer and the reasons that Ant-Man could face trouble at the box office can be found after the jump.
It's our first podcast on the new year and on our new site! And first up on PopScorn in 2015 is Disney and Marvel's first foray into animated superheroes, Big Hero 6!
