Samuel L. Jackson announces 'Avengers' cast

[anarky]

Someone just discovered the Google, eh?

[vynsane]

wow, i haven't been that skinny in years...

[anarky]

Old picture, then?

[RoIIo Tomassi]

You haven't been that tan in years, either.

I'm just going to quote Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction:

God damn! I say, god damn!!

[anarky]

Jesus, my raging nerd boner is still poking out people's eyeballs.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

Does this mean we can dispense with all the Purple and just gush about the film?

My kids' favorite line was "Doth mother know thou wearest her drapes?"
They're still quoting it a week later.

I'm getting more of a kick out of "THAT man is playing Galaga. Thought we wouldn't notice."

And then the same guy looking over his shoulder and cuing it back up!

The bit with Coulson's trading cards was pretty amusing, too. It takes balls to turn something poignant into a joke, and talent to succeed with it.

I say the following with full disclosure that I think no big-screen Hulk actor has been bad. I thought Eric Bana was untouchable, and Edward Norton would've been perfect if not for Bana. But Ruffalo left them both in the dust. I was kinda wondering how they'd make Hulk "controllable" by the end of the film, but Banner's confession and self-initiated change explained it well enough.

Not sure which Hulk moment was the best: Cap's "Hulk--smash," his random suckerpunching of Thor after they beat a shit-ton of Chitauri, or the whole "Puny god" bit.

[RoIIo Tomassi]

I kinda think the Galaga thing was Bob Downey improv, and then Whedon went back and added the visual gag after. But whatev, it totally works.

I also enjoyed Harry Dean Stanton's "Well, son, then you've got a condition."

Frandral (one of the Warriors Three) has been recast for Thor 2. Zachary "Chuck" Levi is taking over. He was originally cast in Thor but had to drop out when Chuck got picked up again. The guy that played him in Thor is now on a Tv show and unable to reprise his role.

Also, avoiding spoilers (just in case) the recent new suit from Iron Man 3 is not who people thought it might be. It sounds like that is War Machine in the Iron Patriot armor.

Whedon let slip recently that "a brother/sister act" are in Avengers Deuce. So Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. That's cool. One of the producers stated both Fox and Marvel Studios can use Pietro and Wanda if they want, since their both "X-Men" and "Avengers" properties.

Unless there's a more obscure brother/sister team I'm forgetting. Maybe it's a couple of the Power Pack kids.

[anarky]

So, if one studio uses them, does that make them off-limits for the other?

Do we even count "Quicksilver" in X3? Was he named? I ain't watching that shit again to find out.

As far as I know, no.

Do we even count "Quicksilver" in X3? Was he named? I ain't watching that shit again to find out.

I don't remember Quicksilver in X3. He might've been in Wolverine:Origins though. But I can see how you'd confuse those two.

Also, Ten Demerits for mentioning X3.

[anarky]

Can't mention there was a fucktard (I think unnamed) who ran really fast in that shithole of a movie without actually mentioning that shithole of a movie.

[Tom Foolery]

Hey, I sympathize. But rules is rules.

At least you're not being punished by actually having to rewatch the film and answer your own question.
We're not that cruel.
