Answers:
1. Do you like animated shows canceled by Fox? Sure, we all do. The only one that hasn't been, The Simpsons, has announced a crossover with this other cartoon.
Family Guy
Futurama
King of the Hill
Family Guy *and* Futurama
By way of explanation.....
Yup, The Simpsons will hang out with The Griffins at some point next season then meet the Planet Express crew in the season finale.
 
2. Do you enjoy schadenfreude? Sure, we all do. Well, a couple of actors experienced not one but two box office disappointments last weekend. Who were the unfortunate stars whose movies (RIPD, Turbo and Red 2) struggled?
Jeff Bridges and Mary Louise Parker
Mary Louise Parker and Bruce Willis
Mary Louise Parker and Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds and Bruce Willis
By way of explanation.....
Parker stars in Red 2 and RIPD while Reynolds stars in RIPD and is the featured voice in Turbo. Stating the obvious, they need new agents.
 
3. You may have known that Ryan Reynolds was part of the last answer but which of these statements is NOT true about his pair of box office bombs?
The animated Turbo finished in third but was the top earning 'toon of the weekend.
Turbo only banked $21 million for the weekend.
R.I.P.D. embarrassed itself with a seventh place finish.
R.I.P.D. took in only $12 million against a ridiculous $130 million budget.
By way of explanation.....
Oopsie...Turbo couldn't even finish ahead of a three-week old Despicable Me 2.
 
4. Comic-Con isn't just a shameless exercise in corporate marketing. Some good stuff happens as well...and I'm not just talking about cosplay. What was the exciting news at the show?

The royal baby was delivered during an interview with the cast of The Walking Dead
Stuntmen saved a drunken woman from committing suicide.
Superman fought Doomsday to a draw in a cleverly staged event
By way of explanation.....

5. Speaking of Comic-Con, there were two announcements that dwarfed the others. What was the one involving Batman?
Batman will be starring in a Justice League movie.
Batman will be starring in a movie with Superman.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the new Batman.
The Lone Ranger star Armie Hammer will be Batman despite the recent unpleasantness.
By way of explanation.....
Yes, a Batman/Superman movie is in the offing.
 
6. And the other huge Comic Con announcement brought the house down with the world's largest nerd-gasm from the news of the Avengers sequel getting a nifty subtitle. The film is officially called "Avengers: The Age of _____."
Voltron
Ultron
Neutron
Aquarius
By way of explanation.....
The news is particularly surprising in that Age of Ultron the 10 issue comic book event only ended three weeks ago.
