Adventure Time Time: The Movie
Update: Here's a good example of a post on the film just arguing if it's too late for a film to be popular when it's release,
The "Adventure Time" Film May Be Too Little, Too Late
It has no new information, just speculation from the writer based on Cartoon Network's very shoddy history of releases an overall crappy handling of everything it does.
Will of course update you with more info comes in.

Murder LA 000069
Unfortunately, Murder LA is going on hiatus. Some life events converged and I just don't have time any more. We're not a sentimental column here so I'll just say it's been a fun couple of years and hopefully we can share stories again in the future.
Here's one for the road:
Chen Chao Ming was arraigned Wednesday, February 25th for murder with a special circumstance of torture and animal cruelty. He pleaded not guilty.
The murder in question was the asphyxiation of his mother, Yi Tung Weng, who was visiting from Taiwan. Reportedly the torture element involved a hammer and a nail.
According to The China Post, Ming called 911 to report his mother's death as a suicide but investigators didn't buy it.
LA Times reports that police investigators were "traumatized" by the scene at the 22-year-old international student's apartment, in the 1300 block of Figueroa, downtown. That seems to place it across the street from the LA Convention Center.
The animal cruelty charge is because supposedly at some point Ming threw his own cat out of a window. No word on whether it survived.
Usually by now TV news would have found the suspect's school and interviewed random students about how they feel, but details are surprisingly scarce at this point.

Everly and Maps To The Stars Out Friday Don't See Them
Everly is just predictable.
Maps To The Stars does make fun of Hollywood for how fake it is, which has been over and over that it is redundant to see at this point. The film is made as though it was still the 90's, not the setting just at how it looks and it's written.
Level 257, An Arcade Bar Well Outside of LA
Put together an arcade, diner, bar, ping pong club, board game house and bowling alley all with a theme loving Pac-Man and you'll have a sense of this newly opened entertainment center in Chicago. Like previous barcades it has theme drinks and a few past titles to plat.
What sets it apart is it's style. Unlike America, Japan has arcades still going. Namco has a huge history and infrastructure from Japan to make an almost Pac-Man themed barcade stay busy. One of the ideas made real to have you gobbling up the food like Pac-Man is a special arcade unit. Level 255 is a special arcade unit that puts you in the Pac-Man game all the way towards the end. Fan might know that the game only had so much memory when it came out. If you got far enough in the game it would start being corrupted. You'd get the maze and strange messed up version of Pac-Man to play. You can now get to that screen much faster. For the barcade they've added a special level that looks a Pac-Man themed diner. You have to get to Level 257 to reach it.

Robin Thicke Terrible Role Model
Robin Thicke is currently being sued for allegedly stealing from Marvin Gaye's "Gotta Give It Up" for his song "Blurred Lines." In the trial so far there have been many great moments of Robin Thicke being a terrible role model for children. We take them for the LA Times article on it.
"Thicke told the federal jury that he was drunk and high on drugs during those interviews, and that he was trying to take credit for some part of the song that had become the biggest hit of his career even though Williams wrote it on his own."
"Thicke said statements he filed in court papers about having written some of the verses were incorrect, and that he'd lied to Oprah when he told her half of his music was inspired by Gaye."

Pearl Necklace Oscar Dress Stolen
How the Hell you would fence the dress when it's so well known makes it possibly the dumbest heists in years, unless we are dealing with real super criminals.
