Most of you know that I’m a big mark for Nightwing (Dick Grayson). As you can imagine, I loved John Fiorella’s Grayson. The trailer for Grayson went up before I “met” most of you. It’s super cool (except for the Green Lantern costume) and I hope you check it out. Share your thoughts when you have a chance (please).

Entertainment Weekly nabbed an exlusive pic of Chris Evans as Captain America from Captain America: The First Avenger. Similar to seeing Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, I keep seeing Evans as characters from his other movies. A lot of you know him as The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) from The Fantastic Four movies. Some of you will remember him as Lucas Lee in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I will sadly admit that I remember him from Not Another Teen Movie.

Now that I’m embarrassed from admitting that I enjoy stupid parody movies, help me get over it by letting me know what you think of the costume (please). It was pretty cool in the renders and I’m digging how it looks in real life. Wucha think?

Sony Pictures has sent out an image of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man in the upcoming series reboot. It’s a pretty cool pic…but I keep seeing Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. Perhaps Spidey will fight the Winkelvoss twins in the movie. That would be cool.

I’m psyched that an image of Garfield as Spider-Man has been released. Until now, fanboys were spending too much time discussing Emma Stone’s (Gwen Stacy) hair. This should help them move on.

Anyway, enjoy the pic and share your thoughts (please)!

A group or racists that call themselves the Council of Conservative Citizens are planning a boycott of the upcoming Thor movie over its use of a black actor portraying the Norse god Heimdall. These idiots believe that Marvel Comics has a left-wing agenda and is furthering its goals by using Idris Elba, a British actor of African descent, to play a mythical god. Uh…okay. The best part is that the group can’t take criticism for its moronic crusade and responds to attacks with lines like:

The left-wing knows that there is no reasonable way to defend re-writing black people into Norse mythology. So they just viciously hurl insults.

Do these people know what fiction is? I’m guessing that these people have a reasonable way to defend rewriting Jesus Christ into a deity with dazzling white skin and sparkling blue eyes.

For the record, I’m happy to viciously hurl insults at stupid people that are receiving PayPal donations to generate hate.

Thanks to my friend Paul for notifying me about these people. Please be careful. You’re Jewish and the Council of Conservative Citizens might lynch you.

I finally got around to seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I loved the comics and really liked the movie. Obviously loads of details were cut and left out in the transition to film, but I was surprised by how I reacted to Scott’s love interests in the different mediums. In the comics, Ramona Flowers is way more likable and her relationship with Scott is more developed. In the movie, I was completely charmed by Ellen Wong’s portrayal of Knives Chau. In fact, I preferred the alternate ending (posted above) where Scott ends up with Knives.

Anyway, if you’ve seen the movie and/or read the books, please let me know who you think is best for Scott.

I’m LTTP on this one, but I wanted to see what you guys and dolls think of the latest Thor trailer (posted above). A lot of my friends are hating on the costumes, but they don’t really bother me. The Destroyer looks pretty dope and I totally marked out when Thor used his mystical uru hammer. I’m still not convinced that mainstream moviegoers give a crap about Thor, but I’m totally down for some hammer time. And you?

It sounds completely lame that Wolverine injured himself on Oprah, but Hugh Jackman did it in the coolest possible way. This isn’t Tom Cruise jumping up and down on a couch like an idiot. This is Jackman slicing his face as he flies through the air! Here’s the story according to Fox NY:

X-Men star Jackman injured himself as he flew on a zip line from the top of the Opera House to the stage — where Winfrey hosted both shows Tuesday — outside the iconic building.

He cut his right eye on the way down to the stage when his leg struck a studio light, forcing Winfrey to call for a break in filming so he could be treated for his injury. The actor, however, made light of the incident, saying, “That was so much fun — let’s do it again.”

I don’t care that he got his big break in Oklahoma the musical. Jackman is a stud!

Here’s a picture of Emma Stone with what’s clearly a Gwen Stacy haircut. Ha! As you know, she’s slated to play Gwen in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Did you know that she’s a natural blonde and has been dying her hair for various roles since she was a young teen? I think she’s sexy with red hair and equally delightful as a blonde. What say you?
