First Image from Thor

Features Chris Hemsworth in full Thor attire.



I like what I see, but seeing as the movie will not be released for over a year, I'll reserve judgment until I see more images and at least a teaser trailer.

Batman 3

First post in quite some time, but it comes with good news.

Batman 3 (not the official title) will be released on July 20th, 2012. What makes this date interesting is that the Spiderman reboot will be released the first weekend of the same month. Should be an interesting head to head matchup for the biggest comic book companies (DC and Marvel) as well as two of Hollywood's largest studios (Warner Brothers and Disney - which recently acquired Marvel).

My New TV addiction...

is Californication.

I watched the first 3 seasons online. I initially didn't think I would like it all that much but I figured hey, this guy is just bedding a bunch of hot young broads, so why not watch it? After watching the pilot episode, I knew that I was going to follow Hank Moody (David Duchovny) through all of his shenanigans. This pilot was literally the most enticing pilot I have ever watched and basically seduces you into continuing to watch the show no matter how moral you believe you are or how snobby your entertainment choices are.

I'll probably comment more on the show later, but as intriguing as the pilot episode was, the season 3 finale leaves you on a cliffhanger that rivals looking over the other side of Mt. Everest.

The New Captain America is...

Chris Evans.

I personally am satisfied by this choice. He has experience in action movies (The Losers, Cellular) as well as comic book movies (Fantastic Four), so this won't be new territory for him. My only drawback is that I will also remember him from the Banana Split scene from Not Another Teen Movie.

Hugo Weaving is slated to play the primary villian Red Skull  (love the choice)  and Alice Eve (The Ten from She's Out of My League) and Emily Blunt (Female lead from The Wolfman) are supposedly the first choices for Steve's love interest in the movie and I'd approve of either choice, but I feel that Alice Eve could pull off that 40's look easier than Emily Blunt.

The movie's title has been said to be "Captain America: The First Avenger" and then "The First Avenger: Captain America". I have a good feeling that only one of these two halves will be included in the final movie title and since this is suppose to be the story of Steve's origins, I hope they drop the The First Avenger from it and just go with Captain America. Let him have his own lime like Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk did. Whenever they do a second Captain America (which is inevitable given the 9 picture deal that Evans had to agree to in order to be Cap), I think the studio can channel their inner Christopher Nolan and go with the The First Avenger title.
