Hey guys. Hope you all had a great week. The newest page of Deadmen and Poodleskirts is up. Click here to check it out.
Interesting week for comic movies. It looks like Joss Whedon is going to direct The Avengers film and possibly do the script doctor thing to the Captain America film. First off, Joss made his name doing the script thing (fixing scripts for films like like Toy Story) so that can only be a good thing for the Cap film right? As far as the Avengers… Well he’s never done anything on this scale before, so this will be his big chance to become one of those blockbuster directors that his fans have always thought he should be. I think the movie itself is gonna be flop proof… no matter how good or bad it is it will do monster business.
They are saying that Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern costume will be CGI. I kinda think this could be a good thing. They’ve never really gotten comic book film costumes right due to the actual physical limitations of real fabric. So maybe cgi is the way to go. But only if it’s good Avatar type cgi and not creepy polar express cgi.
Kick Ass opens this weekend and it looks great. I was a big fan of the comics and it looks like its pretty faithful to the source material. Unfortunately we’ll be seeing Diary of a Wimpy Kid… the joy of having kids.
Anyways here are your links for the week:
the Ricky Gervais Show “monkey News” – I really like Ricky Gervais, and I think the idea of animating his radio program is genius. Add in Monkey news… and well you can’t go wrong can you? (Youtube)
The 7 most horrifying things ever discovered in human body – Strangely enough Madonna wasn’t involved in this list… (Cracked)
Pacman Ghosts Discuss TV – Ever wonder what those ghost’s talk about while they’re waiting to get Pacman… apparently Jack Bauer. (College Humor)
9 Actors who almost played superheroes and villains – I think Bill Murray would have been an awesome Batman… But only if he got to do it with the Caddyshack voice. (Topless Robot)
The Ballad of G.I. Joe – This is a little old… but I still love it. And not just because Olivia Wilde is the Baroness. (Funny Or Die)
Have a great weekend and if you have a cool link for me let me know in the message boards.
