Don’t usually vomit up two cosplay posts in one day, but I had to post this. I had to post this.

Listen, this ain’t Before Watchmen. This is a creator diving back into a world he created. At least that’s the delineation I see.

Have you gotten over the reports that The Hobbit looks like a tunnel of dog dick in 48fps? If so, mow on some of these new pictures from Peter “No serious I can do something good besides LOTR okay maybe not” Jackson’s return to Middle Erf.

Looks like the gooey wet dream of many a fan is coming true. Edgar Wright has just finished directing an Ant-Man test reel, ostensibly proving to the Overlords That Be that the look can be achieved on the screen.

SDCC is the Valhalla that I have yet to arrive at. Every year I want to go, and for a variety of reasons I never do. Money (the most important one), access (it’s getting harder and harder to get tickets), someone to go with (I beg Rendar hard) and so on. Watching this trailer gets that drive going again, but in the end it’ll probably just serve as an awesome double-feature at Rancho Omega-o with Indie Game: The Movie.

Season four of Dexter ended me with saying two things a) holy fucking shit, 1) this would be a perfect ending to the show, b) holy fucking shit, and 2) what the fuck are they going to do now? It was a pants-filling moment of bliss. Today at SDCC the trailer for the fifth season was released, and its got my excitement thrusting – into guts of glory! No, I don’t know.

As an aside, look at Quinn in the trailer! Cheekbones like wut! He spent his first two seasons being a puffy mess. I’m impressed. But when you’re going to be the douchebag analog for Doakes sent to hunt Dexter, I suppose you have to be in deec shape.

Shazam! And a thousand nerds orgasmed simultaneously across the internets. Behold them all! Including Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Boom.

io9:

It was a great way to end an exciting day at Comic-Con: The full cast of Avengers, on stage, with newly-anointed director Joss Whedon. So who is in this picture?

The full roll call (via Cinematical):

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson
Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Chris Evans as Captain America
Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Incredible Hulk

Robert Downey Jr. invited director Joss Whedon to the stage, saying, “We knew we had to find a director you’d love.” And being his usual self-depreciating self, Whedon said:

I have had a dream all my life and it was not this good . . . This cast is more than I could have ever hoped for. And I am going to blow it. So I need your love; I need your support.

When the crowd went nuts, he said, “Oh thank you.”

I’m beyond excited for this shit.

I love Grant Morrison a god damn lot. He might be my favorite comic book writer, I’m not sure. Every time I try and say that, my subconscious projection of Warren Ellis rises up, and they get into an arm wrestling match. They eventually hug, and never deciding the debate, go to the pub for a drink.

Nonetheless, the fact that Grant Morrison is writing a movie is probably the best news I’ve heard coming out of San Diego Comic Con. The premise? Amazing.

Bleeding Cool:

Sinatoro, a man with no past and no memories; the sole survivor of a car crash in the middle of a desolate American desert road. When he encounters the beautiful daughter of a cult leader, she convinces him to help defeat the forces of evil, which have overrun her town. His journey pits him against the world’s most dangerous gangster and allies him with a deranged astronaut, a drunken cowboy, and an army of hobos. As Sinatoro travels through an American landscape made of pop culture nightmares, he struggles to understand who he is and why everyone is out to get him.

I need this movie. Yesterday.

In time for the Tron Legacy panel at San Diego Comic Con, this new trailer for the movie dropped. And then I dropped my pants. Rimshot! Groans! Guilty muted applause. If this movie is even half as cool as it seems, I’ll be satisfied. At the most basic level, the visuals alone are enough to cajole my nerd loins in a titillated slushy mess.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and visually imbibe nerdporn.
