Now that the picture of Nic Cage as Superman has been released, how about we get a photo of the dozens of actors that tested for Superman: Flyby wearing this

I really don't hate this.

I know you all want to think that Marvel will actually throw a ton of marketing force behind Guardians, but I can't believe they'd use up one of RDJ's contractual appearances on it, toy or no toy.

Easy, he never opens the helmet and it's a voice only gig.

Didn't see this mentioned. I'm not a comic reader so I have no idea if she's "right" for the part...

Emily VanCamp is the new romantic interest for Captain America. This after considering Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and Alison Brie (of Alison Brie fame) among others. I haven't seen her in anything but Revenge, but it's my opinion that she is one of the most lifeless, bland, charisma-free actors I've ever seen. She's just there.

We could have had Alison Brie????

Alison Brie is still available to play Jessica Drew.

Seeing as her hero name is Spider-Woman I would bet that her rights are owned by Sony. So Brie can be Jessica Jones.

Miller wrote two new vignettes for the film that are not in the comics.

I never understood Boondock Saints' popularity. I watched it and thought it was pretty meh. I didn't hate it, but I still don't understand why so many people loved it.

At least it wasn't as offensively, gut-punchingly awful as the highly recommended Smokin' Aces, which I guess was Joe Carnahan attempting to make a Guy Ritchie movie or something.

Something about it appeals to guys who really just want to be badass tough guys. I worked in a bar for many years and I couldn't count the number of BS hand tattoos I saw. I also know at least three couples who named their kids after the brothers.

This is scary to me.

I know at least one local shop that advertised how good they were at them.

Edit: Here's a guy I used to friends with. He got them on his upper arms instead of his hands but it's still loving retarded. I mocked him endlessly about it so he deleted all his pictures showing them off but he missed this one!

The appeal is Robert Downey Jr.

Exactly. Had they cast anyone else (like the guy from the OC as was rumored) the film would have been a enormous flop.

I can't even picture a version with anyone other than him. Not to slight Jon Favreau or anyone else involved in that movie, I just feel like it would've been conceptually different almost from the ground up.

Favreau is 99% of the reason we got RDJ. I'm fairly certain Adam loving Brody was in the running before Downey was tapped.

Favreau actually wanted to cast an unknown for Tony until RDJ blew him away with an audition.

I know this, but the studio was against it because of his past.

She's certainly not the main thing wrong with Thor (what's up with all the dutch angles?) and she's okay in Defendor. And what does her bra size have to do with her acting?

She's the absolute worst thing in Thor. In a cast that good she's the weakest link.

Why, what's wrong with her? I found her very charming.

She was absolutely useless. What does she add to the film other than stupid one liners? You could replace her with a sign sitting in a bucket of sand.

Naw, I don't think so. She didn't get much to work with but she took her small thankless part and made it memorable and fun. Contributes to the general levity and slice-of-life quality that makes Thor the second best of all the Marvel films.

I agree with your ranking of the film but her stupid "meow meow" bullshit is incredibly grating. The film would have been every bit as good without her.

My opinion of Kat Dennings is clouded by that stupid sitcom she's on that I catch moments of whenever I forget to change the channel. 2 broke girls I think

I didn't care for her before the stupid show and it certainly hasn't helped it.

In the context of the cover of Entertainment Weekly, it makes more sense.

I hope there is a flashback scene where we have a bunch of fat cat white big wig execs chomping on cigars and champagne at the Planet office harassing the secretaries talking about them hiring a new guy over the phone for a managing editorial position for their paper. Then Perry White walks in for the first time and introduces himself as the room goes awkwardly silent and uncomfortable. One of the fat cats asks to confirm his last name is White and he says yes. And then Fat Cat says "Oh." and his superior a Fatter Cat looks at the Fat Cat sternly as he lights his cigar with a 100 dollar bill indicating the guy is going to get tossed later. And then we flash to present as Lawrence as Perry is recounting that tale to Clark and Lois and Jimmy...Jimelphina...Jane Olsen...and he says "10 years later I owned the place."

I haven't said this in a very long time but...

...Shut Up Gatts.

I spent most of the trailer wondering when Carrey's character was going to show up. I really wish he'd go outside his usual stuff more.

I used to love him back during the Truman Show era, it's so incredibly rare that he does something I actually want to watch these days.

Like Wanted, Kick-rear end is a movie that's substantially better than the source material but still not very good.

See I disagree on Wanted, the comics actually had some charm while other than the keyboard scene the film does absolutely nothing for me.

B) It doesn't count as a three-point landing if the fist is coming down for a seismic ground-pound.

edit) Look at that marvelous cape. Gaze upon it.
