The Avengers Movie

Target sold out like everywhere... so I did Best Buy, also picked up Dark Knight Returns Part 1

I never read/appreciated the comic book for DKR, so I thought the animated movie was kind of underwhelming.

Target should be receiving some more copies from FedEx today, normally delivered around 11am-noon.

The top comment for that video is amazing.

Husband brought back the Blu-Ray/DVD combo for me, and got free popcorn and a Hawkeye plastic cup (I feel like I'm the only person on planet earth who loves Hawkeye) with his purchase, lol. Would have liked to have a digital copy as well, but eh. *shrug*

[Lexa]

Oh, and can I say how ridiculously happy I am that the commentary track has subtitles/CC? Every commentary track ever should have that.

After watching it again with commentary it seems Joss didn't like the idea of the Chitauri dying via the mother ship. But time and such required it.

Fuck that, Hawkeye is awesome!

Also in same boat, girlfriend picked me up the blu-ray/DVD combo with a graphic novel. I'll have to grab a digital copy via other means.

I think he said he only did it to avoid the 17 hours of "cleanup" (ie, fighting and defeating the Chitauri already on earth) afterwards.

so they went with the black sclera and orange iris to white sclera and blue iris for the final version? At least the former was closer to the awesome way he appears in comics

[kuronosan]

Would have rather seen it done that way.

[Serra]

In the movie, Thor just tries to bring the hammer down on Cap't and that ended the fight, right?

[Lexa]

Yeah, Cap doesn't show off his agility until the final battle (which is a damn shame; I love his parkour abilities).

[Cream Soda]

The Target in my area has a bunch of the Blue Ray-DVD combo. Saw someone buying it last night when I was getting some sports drinks lol

casting rumor for Avengers 2

Spoiler: show

Typically, film news from The Daily Mail comes via their showbiz schmoozer, Baz Bamigboye. And typically, he’s right about things.

Today, though, they’ve got something from the anonymous Mail on Sunday Reporter. I can’t guess what this does to the level of credibility.

But, in short, they believe that Marvel and Joss Whedon are looking at actresses for the role of Ms. Marvel in the upcoming Avengers sequel.

There are two candidates for the role named, said to be “head to head.”

On the one hand, there’s the original Black Widow, Emily Blunt; on the other, there’s Luther‘s Ruth Wilson who has the female lead in The Lone Ranger. Here they are, in ascending size of head.
If you don’t recall, Blunt was the original actress cast as Black Widow for Iron Man. It didn’t happen as Fox exercised an option they had made with her around The Devil Wears Prada and tied her into Gulliver’s Travels.

The second Avengers film is set for release in May 2015. According to this new report, it will start production next year – this would give Whedon and co. considerably more time than last time around. Perhaps this is a minor red flag against the Daily Mail’s claim, perhaps it’s cause for a little toast.

She better have a good ass because that's all I see of Ms Marvel.

[Delirium]

Spoiler: show

if the comic continues well, I'd fully expect to see her as Captain Marvel and the costume

FYI, the Phase 1 collection is now $200 lol.
