You think Edward Scissorhands and Captain Jack are the same character?

He is a good actor. Unfortunately he hasn't been stretching his acting muscles recently.

Naysayers, District 13 was awesome. The live action short for Halo was entertaining, but I just wanted there to be less cuts back and forth between the ship peering down on the soldiers and the behind the shoulder shots.

Pretty much since the first Pirates.
Maybe he hates working for Disney?
From what I've heard he just really likes playing these kinds of crazy characters. He's gotten big enough that he can just do that over and over.

Weekend reports have come in and The Avengers has already pulled about 180 Million at the Foreign box office, and hasn't even been released in the US yet.
Looking to be a billion dollar summer blockbuster. I doubt it'll top The Dark Knight, but it'll be a close race. I'm guessing a 250 Million opening weekend in the US this weekend coupled with another 80 million foreign for the week to bring it to around 500+ million worldwide next Monday.
Woo!

Avengers is the best movie you guys.
Anyone else shocked by:
Loki's "You Mewling Quim" line?
Also
Hulk throwing around Loki like a broken toy
brought cheers from my fellow audience members.
I got this Tumblr and I don't know how to use it.

The musings of this lonely rube.
In the latest Entertainment Weekly, they have an interview with Joss and all seven Avengers. It's a great read, especially when they asked Sam Jackson what he did to prepare. He said he watched what David Hasslehoff did with the role, and that he wouldn't do any of that.
Spoken with an English accent too. And it's not as if it's only used as slang, the actual definition is an old Victorian word for vagina as far as I know.
But goddamn the entire film is fantastic.
I know the Hulk kind of stole the comedy show but some of Stark's one liners when he first comes aboard the airship are fantastic. Don't know if it's because I saw it on Saturday morning so it was a lot of parents and kids in there, but refrencing Point Break when talking to Thor was hilarious.
Holy shit. Didn't expect that. Don't know if it's the best direction for a sequel (too similar a threat?), but I'm definitely intrigued.
Loved the film. Sure, the opening third dragged just a little but, boy, did things pick up. And, wow, Penn and Whedon deserve huge praise for managing to give every character their due. Nobody was shortchanged. My only real disappointment was with Cap's mask/cowl - I only hope they replace it with something akin to the helmet Cap wears in the second series of The Ultimates or his own film. (Funny, I prefer the skin-tight cowl look in the comics but on film it really does look cheap 'n' nasty.)
Can't believe you yanks need to wait the best part of a week for this goodness.
Is there a reason why america have to wait that long? Where they afraid it wouldn't do well or is it a to build up hype so it will be packed opening day in america?

From what I heard, they released this and Battleship early in order to steer clear of soccer season. Really.
Meanwhile, concerning that other Marvel movie most people are having a hard time giving a shit about:
Sony is looking at The Amazing Spider-Man as an investment. I've heard some really mixed things about the movie - much of which originates from INSIDE Sony - but no matter how the film does (unless the film is an unmitigated disaster, and that won't happen with a property like this), they're coming back for a sequel. Sony is so sure of the sequel that they've hired Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman to write it.
Note that hiring writers to work on sequels before a movie is released is common, and not always a guarantee of that sequel going anywhere. But Kurtzman and Orci are Big Deal Writers, since their movies - despite rarely being any good - have made a lot of money. I imagine their quote is pretty high, so Sony went ahead and dumped a bunch of cash on Spider-Man 2 because they fully intend to get that movie made. And they're hiring Orci and Kurtzman because they want Spider-Man 2 to be as straight down the center as possible - you're not hiring these guys to bring you a nuanced look at anything.
We'll see if The Amazing Spider-Man is as troubled as I've heard (the stories that come to me are that the execs hate it, and you can never tell when the execs are right or when they're stupid, stupid suits). This hiring could be the sign of a major change in direction for the franchise. If you follow Orci's twitter you'll wonder if Spidey will finally investigate 9/11 as an inside job.

It's more why do the oversees people get it early.
First weekend in May is the start of the summer blockbuster season in America, so that date makes perfect sense. I'm assuming that the early releases in other countries, though unusual, is due to something similar.
Let's be real here. Sony's entire reasoning behind starting a sequel right now is to show intent that there is no way in hell they are letting the license go back to Marvel.

That's also the reason we got this flick to begin with. Which means the chances of it sucking are depressingly high.
I read that after the performance of ruffalow and the way that hulk was written for avengers that they may do a u turn on the no more hulk movies and we could see a hulk film in 2015.
Marvel executives have been “pleasantly surprised by the phenomenal response” to this green superhero, and expect this fan affinity to further strengthen once the movie opens. “His sales are up in a major way. We repositioned him from where he was always misunderstood to now depicting him in a more heroic and aspirational manner,” says Gitter.
If Hulk’s successful turnaround continues, Gitter says Marvel “will spin him off to a stand-alone program next year,” supported by a big budget franchise movie in 2015. The entertainment studio is also exploring ways to promote Hulk as a “corporate icon,” similar to MetLife’s usage of Peanuts’ Snoopy, where The Hulk’s image conveys a message about channeling strength to overcome workplace challenges.
How many times are they going to reboot Hulk before I die?
Not before the one where Hulk is originally a giant green alien wrestler whose exposure to gamma radiation turns him into a human when he calms down, I hope.

There was a bit during Peter David's epic run on Hulk where Hulk was smart and calm, but when he got angry, he turned into Banner. "The angrier he gets, the weaker he gets?"
That scene also has the classic line (while angry Banner's getting manhandled) "Hulk's butt hurts!"
There's a pilot in development for a Hulk TV show (to be paired with AKA Jessica Jones) that WILL be canon in the marvel movie universe from what I hear. Its pretty much a done deal, but no ruffalo.
I've also heard red hulk and she hulk are in it.

Any idea whose the showrunner? I know AKA Jessica Jones is run by a former Birds of Prey (tv series) writer and Bionic Woman showrunner (or just exec producer).
I'm curious, anyone else ditching work to go to the AMC marathon on Thursday? (And by "ditching work" I mean "using vacation or other managerially approved PTO")

I considered it, but I don't know if I could watch 10+ hours worth of movies in a row.
Also, I'm super disappointed in my brother-in-law:
The Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin is doing a similar marathon. It'd be great to go, since I could drink beer and eat food the entire time. However like others have said, I don't know if I could handle 10 hours of movies before I could even watch the Avengers.
Instead I'm working from home Thursday. I'll have the movies playing on my desktop while I work.

Nope, me and some friends did our own marathon last Saturday. It worked out pretty great, as we had comfy couches and recliners as seating rather than movie theater chairs. Plus, we could make all the jokes we wanted without getting kicked out.
You know, it's weird. I really dug the introspection and character examination of Ang Lee's Hulk, even though it needed more smashing and the ending was a mess. Incredible Hulk had plenty of smashing and arguably the most satisfying final battle of the Avengers bunch (except for maybe Iron Man vs. Iron Monger), but Banner's personal struggles and, to a large extent, personality was lost.
Ah well. From what I've heard many critics and attendees say is that the Hulk is handled fantastically in Avengers with the best of both the worlds I described, so maybe I shouldn't complain.
Word is the U.S. release of Avengers has TWO secret scenes in the credits. The one in the middle of them that was in the international release, and a brand new one at the end. Looks like Robert Downey Jr. wasn't lying about filming new stuff.
Here's the link, but keep in mind these are MASSIVE SPOILERS.

They won't reboot Hulk for the next film. It'll still be in the MCU.

To be fair it came out the same year as Iron Man, and most films will look bad by comparison.
