The Network Roundup: Monkey business

Look at that face!

I once again have hope for the world. It turns out a new species of monkey has been discovered in the jungle of Congo. What makes me so giddy is not the fact that there is still undiscovered life on this planet, but that a creature could exist with a bright blue butt and extremely pleasant face!

I’ve always had a soft spot for monkeys, but the newly discovered Lesula takes the cake. I feel like it’s true love. From Wii U details to Akira remake tidbits, we kept it all business and no monkey around the network. We were however not above looking at bright blue monkey butt pictures online.

• Storyboards from Albert Hughes’s live-action Akira remake. As vague as can be.
• Review: Resident Evil: Retribution 3D. How will Alice fare in her new outing?
• No extended/director’s cut for The Dark Knight Rises. I don’t believe there isn’t days worth of amazing IMAX celluloid on a cutting room floor.
