‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Video Game Trailer

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming “Amazing Spider-Man” video game that’s based upon Marc Webb’s upcoming feature.  I like the Iguana character, though I am not sure that’s he’s actually a part of Spider-Man’s mythology (according to Wikipedia, there is indeed a character called the Iguana, and he’s linked to the Lizard). That being said […]

‘Iron Man 3’ Casting

According to Collider, Shane Black’s “Iron Man 3″ is casting soon, so if you’ve never been an extra before, it’s worth considering.  The last time I did it was on “The Dark Knight Rises” and that was a lot of fun (when you factor out that it was really cold, there was LOTS of running […]

Facebook-phobic

I don’t own a cellphone.  This is partially because I don’t see the need to be reachable by anyone, virtually any time.  I have a landline, so if you’re                           calling me because your house is on fire, don’t! Hang up and call the […]

Japanese ‘Avengers’ Trailer

What did we Americans do to be treated with such disdain?  Sure, the United States trailer for “The Avengers” delivers some cool superhero goodness, but compared to the Japanese trailer, it’s a tease. By way of example, here are two shots of the fraggin’ S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier (for those not quite into comics, the helicarrier is […]

The Avengers Russian Trailer

It strikes me as odd because I would think that more Americans […]

Strange(r) Things Have Happened

More evidence of a circumstantial nature that Marvel (buttressed by the fairly deep pockets of The Walt Disney Co.) is preparing a feature film based on Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts.  On May 19 I wrote that various sources believed that Tom Welling was being courted for the role by Marvel, despite being […]

A Bunch Of Superheroes Meet In A Bar…

That sounds like the opening for a joke, though think about it for a moment:  Superheroes probably want a drink sometimes (though not Tony Stark.  He  has problems knowing when to say “when”, if you know what I mean), so where would they go? This clip, couresy of Frog Island, answers that burning question.  By the way, […]

More Dr. Strange Rumors

Now take this with a HUGE mound of salt, but according to ComicBookMovie.com, Shockya.com, and numerous other sites, Tom Welling, who just completed playing Superman in Smallville, is being courted by Marvel Studios. Various writers then make a leap that would do the Hulk proud, and assume that the character that Marvel expects him to play […]
