The one redeeming quality of that poster is the David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury.
If only to remind us of the dark times, before Marvel got their shit together w/ regards to movie rights and the majestic arc they've constructed for us the last 5+ years.
David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury is amazing. I remember seeing that movie on Sci-Fi and loving it. I own that DVD and still enjoy it. I think I'm going to have to watch it again now.
people looking for whedon cameos in the avengers have mostly forgotten that jeremy renner had a guest spot on angel
also I'm not entirely sure how I know that given that I've only watched the first six episodes of angel and then the one where he gets turned into a muppet

That guy's claim to fame is definitely not fucking serenity.
Until they wise up and cast Chiwetel Ejiofor as T'Challa, Serenity is where a lot of people are going to know him from, especially the sort of people who'll be in this thread.

That's five Whedonites in the film.
Jeremy Renner for Hawkeye, Alexis Denisof for The Other, Ashley Johnson for the Waitress, Enver Gjokai for Young Cop & J. August Richards for uncredited bystander.
Children of Men just has way too many things that bug the shit out of me each time I watch it. It is shot beautifully like Angry said but that's about it.
Yeah, I like the idea that Loki just wanted to be the hero so, damn, bad in Thor and really show why he was better than his brother.
I mean, all the Ettins he killed were complete monsters themselves. They wanted nothing more than to get their power back and go on a rampage of murder and conquest.
So yeah, he was a schemer and liar and jealous of his brother...
And then he let go of his Brother on the Bifrost and his mind... just... broke.
Like one of those, "if I can't have her, NO ONE CAN" sort of people. He's so completely despicable in Avengers though I was rooting for someone to kill him.
It must've pleased the shit out of you, like me, when
Hulk just cuts him off from his villainous speech and wrecks his shit in a hurry.
Yes, but I actually liked two 'pwned Loki' moments better.
When
Steve, just an enhanced soldier, stood up to a ranting GOD in Germany and smashed his face in. It made punching out Hitler look small time.
And then when Loki got a face-full of repulsor beam from Tony to avenge Phil.
Those were both awesome, "shut the hell up you goddamn monster," moments.
smashed his face in? loki was pretty clearly in no danger at all from cap, while cap was getting thrown around like a child.
That's hyperbole and not really the point. The point is...
Captain America, an only slightly super human solider, was able to go toe-to-toe with a norse god and was not reduced to a messy stain on the ground. And he was not afraid.
And no, I don't think Loki was pulling his punches. Yes he wanted to be captured, but there was no reason for him to take more hits than he needed to.

loki was smashed in to a concrete floor over and over by the hulk and was fine.
if loki had wanted to kill captain america right then and there he easily could have.

Agreed. Cap's the only human who was strong enough not to get turned to paste in close quarters combat with Loki. Hawkeye & Black Widow are skilled enough to make him work for a win, but one or two hits from the Norse God and they'd be dead or severely injured.
Children of Men just has way too many things that bug the shit out of me each time I watch it. It is shot beautifully like Angry said but that's about it.
Yup.
I mean, throughout the movie I had moments where I went "Oh, yes. This is how it should be. Good work, movie!"
And then it smashed them into the ground and went with the cliche.
Read the book a little later. Everything the film disappointed me with the book did right.
I like the way he beats the crap out of the guy sent to contact him.
It's like, how he handshakes.
SLJ is great too, but maybe for the next Avengers film we can have two Nick Fury's.
Obviously, you can tell them apart because Hoff would have the patch over the *other* eye.

So, have we discussed this yet?
Iron Man 3 looks to be shaping up very nicely indeed. Not only has Ben Kingsley signed on to play one of the film's villains, but Variety is now reporting that Guy Pearce is set to join the cast as geneticist Aldrich Killian.
The new film will be loosely based upon Warren Ellis' Extremis series, in which the theme of nanotechnology is at the forefront of events. Ever on the lookout for ways to improve upon his famous suit, Tony Stark employs the technology on his latest version. However, his plans go awry when his customisations become threatened by a virus.
Pearce is in line to play the aforementioned Killian, a genetic scientist who helps to create the Extremis virus, a threat to nanobot technology. When he sells his research to a terrorist cell, things become tricky for the newly vulnerable Iron Man.
This all fits in with what Marvel's Kevin Feige recently told Collider about the plan to take Tony Stark out of his comfort zone for this third film.
"Iron Man 3 is very much inspired by the first half of Iron Man 1," said Feige. "We’re not going back to the cave, but he’s stripped of everything, he’s backed up against a wall, and he’s gotta use his intelligence to get out of it. He can’t call Thor, he can’t call Cap, he can’t call Nick Fury, and he can’t look for the Helicarrier in the sky."
I assume the book is "everyone dies of old age, the end?"
No.
Partially because so few people live to "die of old age" instead of signing up for the peaceful government suicide option. Where they drown you safely away from prying eyes because, well, it's cheap and come on, you signed up for this.
The pregnant mother comes along in the second half, but the set-up is completely different. No big resistance movement. Not many people give enough of a shit anymore to try that, and the bastard at the top has left things pretty nice, compared to everywhere else. Just a few crackpots with totally different hobbyhorses.

Scarlett Johansson: surprise, still pretty

Also that picture is from Serenity.
I don't see anything wrong with his hair.
He was quite obviously a fan of The Boz, back in the day:
Now, the flat-top/spike/mullet combo nowadays would be horrendous, but it was the late 80's, so I'll cut the guy some slack.

I yelled out HARRY DEAN STANTON when he showed up.
I am awesome.
I was so excited when I saw him.
But that is his character in Serenity and the discussion was about villains who have non-villainous intentions
Dear this thread:
Go watch children of men and dirty pretty things.
I'll wait.
Which is a film I was not particularly crazy about
Also I had to look up who Harry Dean Stanton was
beautifully shot.
no intention of ever watching it again.
Although I have seen it like three times I guess? So I don't know. It isn't really a movie you get a group of friends together and watch.
Mark Ruffalo looks like such a nerd.
That's five Whedonites in the film.

Why I fear the ocean.
The Hoff is pretty darn good as Fury I must say.

Just very different.

That justified Iron Man 2 right there.
this "armor hiding in my bones" business is just offputting

Well, hopefully they'll leave out that part of the story.
