A Spider-Man movie every year

And still no damned Wonder Woman movie.

Because it's too haaaaaaaard.

And Jaimie Alexander is contractually obligated to Marvel, so she couldn't be Wonder Woman, which blows.

Although allegedly Marvel is talking about a Black Widow movie (I assume after Avengers 2), so there's that.

I still think Adrianne Palicki would do a great job.

Man, the lighting of the beacons.

"Gondor calls for aid!"

"And Rohan will answer."

Gah. I should know better. I'm arguing with someone on Facebook who claims movie!Captain America is a self-righteous douche bag, when I don't see anything in the current movies to support it. After some back and forth it turns out his real issue is that Cap was created as propaganda and thus essentially represents everything hypocritical about our country and therfore is only worthy of scorn.

It's like, dude, I'm all for making political commentary on how our country behaves, but don't sandbag a character and all of his fans simply because of what he was 70 years ago, when he's evolved quite a bit since then.

A friend of mine took me to see the Robocop remake this week (not quite kicking and screaming but with some reluctance). The writing was terrible, but it had some star power -- Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Michael K. Williams, Jennifer Ehle (!) and Samuel L. Jackson doing this quintessential Sam Jackson bit. I guess they all needed a paycheck. I actually thought Joel Kinnaman (whom I remember from half the season 1 of The Killing I watched) did a surprisingly nuanced job as the lead. Shame about the script.

Shame about the script.

Although you didn't intend it I don't think, but I found the above line screamingly funny. It's like it should be on a Hallmark card or something.

Considering the commercials Sam Jackson's doing, the Marvel money may not be as good as hoped.

Hubby's white blood cell count is in the healthy range, so he wanted to go among the masses and see a movie. We went with "I, Frankenstein" with the idea of "it looks good and may be worth a heckle or three." It was standard high-budget-effects, comic book source, "look, really, don't worry about the plot, just enjoy the ride" fare. We played "That rose window is doomed" (it was) and "that's the only car on the street, someone's going to fall on it" (they did). It cost us a dollar each, but I may have been willing to spend a whole three dollars to see it.

This is a good point about a Justice League movie: [link]
