Video: ‘THE AVENGERS’ alternate opening. I’m glad they didn’t use it.
In an effort to promote The Avengers Blu-Ray release by giving away for free everything that would make us want it, Marvel has dropped a alternate opening to the flick. Regardless of whether or not it is well done, it certainly butts heads with the tone of the rest of the flick.
‘AVENGERS 2’ gets official release date. Everyone squeal or whatever.
The sequel to this summer’s best comic book movie (heh) has gotten itself an official release date. You better maintain regular doctor visits and practice some calisthenics on the side. You’ve got some living to do until the movie drops. Don’t want to make it to like, six months out, and get rocked by a heart attack.
Video: Joss Whedon wants you to boycott Mike Birbiglia’s film ‘SLEEPWALK WITH ME’, because it is hurting ‘AVENGERS’ box office.
A humorous promo that Joss Whedon has cut condemning/promoting Mike Birbiglia’s upcoming flick Sleepwalk With Me. Jossy-Poo is worried, you see, that the film will cut into Avengers’ theater count. In actuality its a tongue-in-cheek endorsement of the indie flick, which if its trailer is any indication looks pretty fucking awesome. I caught it a couple of weeks ago and go immediately excited for it, and so I’m glad that someone like Whedon is drawing attention to the film.
Joss Whedon signs EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT with Marvel through 2015. Dude is their shepherd, praise be.
Joss Whedon didn’t just sign on to write and direct Avengers 2. Naw, son! Naw, daughter! The motherfucker has signed on to work exclusively with Marvel through the three years following the Mayan apocalypse. I couldn’t be happier about this if I was reading it while spraying whipped cream on my nipples and slapping myself on the ass with a spatula. And we all know how happy that makes me!
Andrew Garfield Spotted Carrying Spidey Comics Featuring Thanos. OMFGSPECULATE.
To be perfectly clear: I don’t expect this to mean anything, I just find the speculation fun.
Joss Whedon Would Like More Females In ‘AVENGERS 2’, Moi Aussi!
One of Joss Whedon’s calling cards is his ability to write some powerful ladies. However no matter the success of Avengers, its lovely husk was filled with only one female lead. This is an occurrence our Lord Whedon would want to address in the sequel.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige Spits About SEQUEL PLANS, Says Two Movies To Be Revealed.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has to be having a blast lighting money on fire and screaming to the people in the street, “It simply does not matter!, we have so much now!” whilst wearing only a smile. Pausing briefly from his euphoria, he’s laid out the upcoming plans for the Marvel Movie Money Making Machine.
Potential spoilers? after the jump.
The Avengers Receipts, or how much does it cost to destroy NYC? (Answer: $160 billion)
Remember that time Loki broke Manhattan? I do, because I watched his fine ass do it in glorious digital 2D (fuck 3D). But whether it be Loki, Doc Oc, the aliens from Independence Day, or whoever the villain was for the Fantastic Four movies (I’ve pretty much blocked them out, so it’s all very hazy), no one ever really thinks about the damages.
So, how much would it cost to beat the shit out of the Big Apple?
