Hammer Time!! Marvel Delays THOR And AVENGERS Another Year!! CAP & SPIDEY Get New Dates Too!!
I am – Hercules!!
We’re going to have to wait a little longer to find out who plays Odin's boy in “Thor.”
And “The Avengers” won’t find its way to big screens for another three years, until after Robert Downey Jr. enters his late forties.
“Thor’s” release date has been pushed back from July 16, 2010 to June 17, 2011.
“Avengers” has been pushed back from July 15, 2011 to May 4, 2012.
"Captain America" is getting a much smaller delay, shifting from May 6, 2011, to July 22, 2011.
And “Spider-Man 4” now has a date: May 6, 2011.
As always, it’s better to have things right than to have them fast.
Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.

No date set for Ghost Rider 2?

it's cool to think about but they will never get everyone together for this film and if they fill it up with replacement actors who gives a shit.

Wouldn't he speak Old Norse?
I guess if he's a god he can speak whatever he likes, but still. -
U are a liar

Too bad he died.

Because, like, it's so-o-o effective on Liev Schreiber...
-
RAWR! But really, he doesn't look that bad.

in before the movie gets canceled.

they could of been a little more creative with sabretooth. Im just wondering if there gonna tie him into Sabretooth in the first X-Men movie or just ignore it completely.
-
says Thor is gonna be in IM2. So maybe they should cast the fucker already

I knew that Herc wrote this before I even looked at it.
by derlanghaarige
Everytime he posts a new article, my RSS feed alert thingy, that program that tells me when there is something new on every site I subscribed to, gave me two or three alerts for the same article within a few minutes. This only happens when Herc posts something. Why? I don't know. Maybe he is always correcting something after he posted his stuff and whenever he saves the changes I get a new alert. Or maybe he wants people desperately to know that he posted a new article and does that on purpose. Maybe it's just a hardware glitch on his computer. I got no idea. All I know is whenever he posts a new article on here, I get more than one message about the same article. It never happens with somebody else's articles.
-
When that schedule was originally published, it was clear it was far too crowded. Shame this change comes too late to save Iron Man 2 from being rushed through.
-
doesnt bother me.
thor will never excite me and the the avengers needs more movies to be made to introduce the team, so 2012 seams fair.
now we sit back and watch as the next 2 summers are filled with marvel movies. -
Hulk smash fickle public!
-
i thought it was going to be first. i missed by 15 seconds
is this movie gonna be like the justice league movie or ender's game? they just keep pushing it back? -
Yup. Knew it would only be a matter of time before the Anointed One's b/s effected Hollywood.
-
But with the squid.
Pants across the nation will be splattered with man sauce. -
Unlike the justified abortion of the JLA movie, i think tis is getting pushed back to make sure its not rushed. I dont see them inking SLJ, Rourke and piece of ass Scarlet Johansen and then killing the movie. Sounds ike their geting all the ducks in a row.
-
you got odds on him croaking in the next couple of summers herc?

nobody else can spot a typo.

Don't care. Just give me PUNISHER: WAR ZONE 2
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
The best superhero movie of 2008 deserves a sequel!
-
I read this two days ago in my local paper, but they also reported that Marvel ALSO announced a release date for Spiderman 4 in 2011. Honestly, I think that is the bigger story. My guess is that in this economy, Marvel suddenly doesn't want to pony up the cash for active development on so many films at once. By spreading the movies out, they hedge their bets financially, and by getting another pay check on Spiderman 4, Marvel can afford for a movie like Thor or Captain America to tank.The other big story here is that they're moving forward with The Avengers, with no news on Hulk 2. Expect Edward Norton to get recast, unless he really likes The Avengers script, and has strong control over the story, which is a shame because I really like Ed Norton as an actor.

by somashine
-
wouldnt spit on your face if your nose was on fire. ...i like Edward Norton too. Damn you, Tyler Durden.
-
WATCHMEN was a great warm-up, Warner Bros. You know that Zack is the right man for JUSTICE LEAGUE. --Now get crackin'!!!
-
I'm not sure there will be an EARTH by them, let alone an Avengers flick.
-
in your "local paper"? The one that had this news Marvel just released today?
yeah, didn't think so. -
Getting that and Captain America out in the same summer season just seemed too ambitious...at least with a bit of a delay for Thor, possibly the hardest sell and Avengers, possibly their biggest undertaking, there's more of a chance we'll see two solid flicks
-
This is a NO-BRAINER, people.
-
Nailed it.
-
World aint ending till December 21st, 2012. So im sure we'll get the Avengers movie before we all die.
-
...there will be plenty of time for more reboots of existing properties. Hell, we might even see two remakes of Iron Man before the sequel to the original comes out.
-
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/AllThingsNerd/news/?a=6586
My God, this film is going to suck and suck hard. Everyone that hated WATCHMEN will love it.
-
Because he looks the part.
-
at the end of the new trailer you see him like this shooting the beams taken from cyclops. Ive always dreamt of a wolverine movie, never dreamt of it this way though.....too bad
-
...no way is Snyder ever gonna get another superhero gig. When you F up the greatest graphic novel ever written, that's it! No second chances.
-
On Sam Jackson, Mickey Roark, and Scarlett Johansen.
-
I'm just throwing this out there for discussion, but with the huge returns of Dark Knight and what many consider the "holy grail" of comic book movies (Watchmen) now out, is anyone else getting the feeling that comic book movies are a little played out?I know, I know, there's still Batman 3 to come out, but I don't think they'll really be able to top Dark Knight. Or even match it. Iron Man, too, was pretty good and will be hard to top. Besides and Avengers or Justice League movie, there's little left that a less "geeky" fanbase will get excited about.One reason I ask is because I wonder if there is more behind this shift in release dates than it would seem. Is Marvel getting cold feet about trying an Avengers movie? Sure, Iron Man worked, but Incredible Hulk flopped. Perhaps they're a bit worried that people won't like the characters, or maybe their marketing research is showing them something.I could very easily be wrong. Just wondering what others thought.
-
and every bone in my body says it will . All the elements are there for it to be one of the better comic movies. If they set it in the right time, it could transcend comic books and a be a good movie period. but they're going to fuck it up...i know it. and i'm not even a comic book nerd, i just think cap is a badass mother fucker . his wallet probably says so right on it.
-
Yeah, excitement for Wolverine seems completely overshadowed by Star Trek and Terminator. I'm wondering if the should have released Wolverine mid-july to early August. This movie just doesn't seem like a huge summer blockbuster to me.

yeah big time
-
fights wolverine in the end of the movie and logan slices his head clean off and kills him. LOL!
-
C'mon! Yes yes, better right than quick but still...at least we're getting Iron Man 2 next summer.
-
feel the need to finally make a Wolverine movie, but still be worried about him as a solo character not being able to carry the movie. This isnt a Wolverine movie its an ensamble mutant character movie. fucking unprofessional
-
deadpool can get his head cut off and live. wolverine cut it off in cable/deadpool #43 and bob put it back on in #43. wolverine said "with [deadpool's] healing factor, he's got about 12 minutes before oxygen deprivation rots his brain...will rots it even more--to the point he won't survive anyway"
-
bob put is back on in #44
-
Why are you using a pic of that shitty ultimate thor? If Branagh ends up making movie Thor look anything like that I'm going to hold you personally responsible. How about a pic from JMS and Copiel's awesome new Thor series (ok, I'm not reading it, but I hear it's effing epic)? And as for the delays-as much as I hate waiting, I hope this means we get some quality films out of this. And if you think an Avengers film won't work, you are dead wrong, imo. Once everybody's backstories are introduced in their respective movies, that frees up a ton of running time for badassery.
-
Spider-Man 4, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America (and possibly a Fantastic Four re-boot) already in the works.And DC is...um, thinking about maybe making a Green Lantern movie.
-
I thought their timeline was a little fast, glad to see they are taking their time with them. But it also means it better be f'ing good!
-
... will now be the Director of "The Avengers". This is more than likely ONE of the reasons of the delay, so that he can have 2 full years after the release of Iron Man 2 to do Avengers right.
You read it here first :) -
This isn't a Wolverine talkback, dammit. I'm too much of an Avengers fan to let that hairless giant hijack this talkback. So, someone mentioned the Infinity Gauntlet as a possible epic storyline, which I've always wanted to see on film. Anyone else have a favorite Avengers story that would make a kickass movie? I vote for Geoff Johns' "Red Zone" storyline from a few years back. It could even tie back in to Cap's movie, if you know who the surprise villain is...
-
Norton's grossed more than Bana's by 2 mil. Pretty good considering the loathing people have fro the Ang Lee film. Inc Hulk was the Batman Begins to Hulk's Batman & Robin. Okay, Lee's Hulk was nowhere near as atrocious as B&R, but you hopefully get the analogy. They had to wash the bad taste out of some people's mouths.
I like what I have seen so far of Wolverine, other than I liked the trailers for the last X-Men movie and that was a rushed piece of shit. Jean kills Scott and can only be saved by the hots she feels for a guy she's known for a few weeks? -
Hercules, you should know better than to use a Ult. Thor picture. After all, you and Thor are old pals, right? Um, Right? Zeus' Beard, I need to get a life!
-
A R-rated, almost 3-hour movie with no big-name stars made that much in just five days. Studios would love for Zack Snyder to "fuck up" a JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. THE AVENGERS movie for them.
-
But that's a pretty low bar.That being said, personally I liked the latest Hulk and would like to see another Hulk movie instead of say, Ant-Man.
-
this is exactly what he wanted time enough to do iron man 2 and the avengers.
-
It was horrible all the way around. Favs doing Avengers would be good IMO
-
Edit feature, please.
-
Unless Christopher Nolan is directing, I don't want to see another comic book movie ever again. Original screenwriting from original ideas is dead.
-
Let it die already. Especially if Toby and Raimi aren't on board. Are they?
The one cool thing about this is we have these actors age a bit more and get some mature heroes not youg punks in the role. Gravitas baby! -
As far as I know, they did sign Raimi and Maguire. It's cool to have an actor in the part for four movies, tying Wolverine/Jackman and Superman/Reeves, but by Marvel mentality, isn't Maguire, who is going to be 34 this year, too old now? Also, with Peter forgetting that he is married, does that open the movie up to more serious romances with Gwen Stacy, Betty Brandt, or the Black Cat?
-
Dunst the worst choice for MJ.
Like casting Jason Biggs for Wolverine. -
and what about some HULK 2 (3?) news...would Norton even wanna do it now?
but re Superman 2...sequel or reboot news should be imminant RIGHT? -
Mar 12, 2009 3:32:41 PM CDT
Enough with Spiderman. Go Avengers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by crackerfarmboy
Spiderman sucks and the last film was a disgrace to humanity. Focus on making awesome solo Avengers flicks and then one big super mash-up film!
-
GIVE HULK HIS MOVIE! HULK WANTS BOTH JENNIFER CONNELLY AND LIV TYLER TO COME BACK TO PLAY BETTY ROSS. HULK WANT TO SEE A BETTY ROSS CAT FIGHT! HULK WANTS A TO BE GREEN MEAT IN A BETTY ROSS SANDWICH! HULK SMASH!

Seriously, I liked the Incredible Hulk more than Iron Man last year. I know I am in the minority, but it was fucking great. Most people I talked to thought it was a direct sequel, and therefore were not interested. Had this been the first Hulk movie released, it's numbers would have been much better. Thanks again to the Ang Lee shitfest I may not get to see the Hulk until the re-reboot in 10 years (ok, they'll probably do it in 5).
-
What the hell is that from. For some reason I think it was Mancow, but I can't remember.
-
All these moves are obviously in order to give Marvel more time to make them, but the Captain America move in particular is a preemptive move against Batman 3. I think most people assume that Batman 3 was due for release around that weekend (even though Batman Begins was a June release), and now Marvel has taken it away from DC. However, at the rate they're moving on Batman 3 (i.e. slowly), we may not see that until 2012, or perhaps a fall 2011 release, which might be pretty cool. WB won't have Harry Potter to help them out anymore at that point, as Pt. 2 of Deathly Hollows is due summer 2011.
-
does that make me a racist?
-
No, because both statements are true. Hulk is green. And he can be a bastard at times. If you said Hulk is a bastard BECAUSE he is green, then that would have been a racist statement.
-
then yeah i could see it doing about 400m ww instead they both did about 260m right?
i dont like Lees Hulk much - i know some love it as it tries to be an arthouse flick with hulk staring meaningfully at plants but i thought it were a bit crap and the majority of the mainstream also thought so -
I hope they dropped that "first avenger" crap. It's bad news to focus on a spin off rather then the actual movie.
-
am i a racist now?...FUCK YOU HULK YOU GREEN FUCK!
-
so i can see all these superhero movies.
-
That is worse than what they did to Galactus. Hulk doesn't fight a goddamn idea.
And yes, you are now a racist prick. You probably hate kermit the frog and Yoda too for that matter. -
anyone but me getting tired of them? Hell, I love comics, I read comics, and even do a bit of collecting from time to time, but as a cinephile, I've got to say that I'm getting burnt out on these films.
-
honestly... i loved spider-man, ive read it for years, and i loved the first 2 movies, but spidey 3 killed all interest i have in the character, and i hate it for that. i never thought a movie would be able to do that, but raimi pulled it off.
-
zzzzzZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz
-
I don't know what it was about them, but I never connected with them.
-
Come on. We've been waiting since 1976 for this, but it gets delayed again and again! Bring on the "Dazzler" so we can finally get down and boogie!
-
Mar 12, 2009 4:02:52 PM CDT
yeah Spidey 3 killed it for me, too. and comics are played out
by bmacsmith
bring back epic scifi space movies or Road Warrior type movies. time for some heroes that dont wear suits or a little while.
-
Yup. Knew it would only be a matter of time before the Anointed One's b/s effected Hollywood.
-
that the world is supposed to end in 2012??? We will never see an Avengers movie now...sheesh...thank you Bible code...

HARRY POTTER SCREENING: "DISAPPOINTING"
by christian_bale_trashed_my_lights
According to the reports flooding Yahoo, a preview screening of the new HP movie has confirmed that Half Blood Prince is about to break a few fans' hearts and make some people very angry!
-
So they work with the formula until the trend wears off. If Iron Man and Dark Knight are any judge, the formula seems to be working... Watchmen is rated R, meaning less dollars at the box office, which was expected. It still works. Peace.
-
Shut the fuck up. Nobody wants to hear your talking points you got from Rush this morning. The GOP had 8 fucking years to do something good for this country and all they did was run it into the fucking ground, and give more money to rich bankers. If you are a rich banker, then yeah, Obamanomics are gonna suck for you. Eat my ass with a spoon.
-
Don't worry, the world isn't supposed to end until December 21, 2012. We will get our Avengers in just before the Apocolypse.
-
For Spiderman 4. Wasn't part 3 punishment enough??
-
I also really worry about how much time Raimi and Mcguire are going to have to come up with an even worse dance routine for SM4..
-
She had the face makeup, the long hair, the silver jumpsuit (think 7 of 9), the mirrorball skates. The real Dazzler. LOL
-
before the end. At least the green guy would probably survive it unlike the rest of the puny "superheroes". They can't even survive the Apocolypse, LOL
-
Wow, a lot to say for someone who doesn't know what their talking about. In case you haven't noticed, the economy isn't getting any better and it's effecting everything. EVERYTHING. Your movies are going to be hit, too. That's my whole point. Think before you post. I didn't even go anywhere near the ballpark you're hitting from. Settle down, Beavis.
-
you mean we don't even get to x-mas??? I guess we'll have to count Avengers as an early celebration....
-
Can anyone confirm?
-
Did you expect the economy to get better overnight. Every economist worth anyting said it would get worse before it got better. So Obama gets in and the economy is supposed to turn around overnight. And don't tell me you weren't going there...the whole Obamanomics crap is straight from the Gay Old Party. They want his policies to fail. Why, because they have some high moral ground that what he is doing is wrong? No, they are betting against it for total political posturing for reelections. That is all. They want the economy to totally go in the shitter to win elections. That is about as unamerican as anything I can think of. I hated GWB, but I never hoped the country would take a major dump to win an election.
-
Obviously, you're a die-hard liberal who embraces Socialism and wants to see this great country sink like the UK and Canada. But let's not get personal. All I was trying to say was that Hollywood is going to get hit by the recession/depression. Now settle the fuck down.
-
Yeah, but the Maya only said that it would be the end of this age and the beginning of a new one. Maybe that means something else will happen. Like talkbackers getting along and singing Kum Bay Yah. I don't want to live in that world.
-
It was okay, right? Equal time motherfucker. Equal fucking time.
-
I'm for it. I really liked the old cast and crew but I think it's time for a refresher. Just don't have any mention of the Osbournes and just go on like its a whole new universe. Keep MJ, just no engagement please. As for a villain I'd be wondering if they have the rights to Kingpin back yet. New names, new tone, you would definitely have my attention.
-
I appologize if I got worked up, but I tend to get so when discussing politics. But then you had to go and bring up socialism. You know what if socialism is ensuring that every American has the same access to health care as the rich, and that everyone has the same opportunity to a strong education, then call me a socialist. No one was complaining about Socialism when GWB was giving money to banks? How come we are now? Oh I know, because it is only socialism when the democrats do it, and it benefits normal people and not the super rich.
-
how about when his own vice-president called it voodoo economics? Trickle down theory doesn't work, because too much gets stuck at the top. You can't just increase supply and expect demand to catch up. It has to start on the demand side, then supply will increase to meet the increased demand. Economics 101
-
That's what Conservatives love. I may disagree with you, but I "will defend with my life your right to say it." Peace.
-
Interesting rumor at Latino Review about an actor named Alexander Skaarsgard (Peter's son apparently) talking with Branaugh. He certainly looks the part, 6'4", huge, blonde, marine, and from what I hear not a bad actor. If he's charismatic enough he would be a good choice.
-
How is RDJ's age relevant? He looks great and it's not like late 40's is nursing home age, is it? Besides, the suit does all the work for the character - he could be in his 70's and it would still be plausible...
Anyway, I think it's a good idea to stagger the releases a bit more. I was worried when they were first announced that it was just too much, too soon and we'd all be fed up with it. Better to take their time and treat each movie with respect, rather than just as a means to an end. -
Not appologizing for them, just appologizing for the voracity at which I went off. More than willing to have a good debate now and then.
One thing we can agree on is that it is great to live in a country where we can voice our beliefs, ideologies, etc, without the fear of retribution. 1st amendment is there for a reason. But yeah, even my wife thinks I am a way out on the left at times. But I'll give you this....I am pro gun and pro death penalty, so I do not totally toe the party line. -
Mar 12, 2009 4:49:51 PM CDT
im starting to think you two are two sides of the same person.
by obscura
its an interesting read while i sit here, enjoying my NHS medication and watching the Dark Knight for the millionth time. and ill throw this into the mix too... Double Negative (a vfx company who worked on TDK) came to our uni recently and said "while all other industries are struggling, we're doing better than ever, people always need to entertain themselves."
-
3 had massive plot holes galore, and was pretty flawed. Yet it had a few fun moments. I think they can do better. He didn't want to touch Venom, and I think the whole black suit and Venom plotline was forced.All 3 movies, including the turd that was part 3, made boatloads of money. Let them have one more shot to get it right. 1 was pretty good, and I really liked 2.
-
You ignorant dumb bastard, if you'd take a moment and do a little history lesson, ya dumb cunt, you'd know this shit's already been tried in the 30's. And guess fucking what shit for brains? It doesn't fucking work asshole! Barry-O can't spend his stupid cunty ass out of a recession like he promised you and every other dumb fuck who voted for him. Now he's telling you ignorant shit sniffing cock-ups that we need socialized medicine on top of it. In fact he's using that sausage casing stuffed with chicken shit you try to call a spine to ram rod it up America's already bleeding asshole by telling you the economy won't get better if you don't. He's also pissing and moaning about Bush's deficit when this goat fucking ass hat's already wrung up 7 times that amount in TWO god damn months. So fuck all you wretchedly ignorant Barrywhipped cock munching twats. You wanted this fucker for Prez, you god damn got him. And now we're all paying the price. By the way, who's playing Thor?
-
Im glad my fellow geeks aboce in this talkback have given love to nortons hulk, which was treut to the story of the hulk as opposed to ang lees shitfest. i caught ang lees shitfest on tv the other day and had to turn the channel becusae it was so atrocious. I watched nortons hulk on the big screen and was amazed at its fucking awesomeness. you cannot mess with the hulk clap. NOrtons hulk movie would have grossed a hell of a lot more if it haddn't been for ang less shitfest. and i'm glad that people realise the truth that nortons hulk did outperform ang lees shitfest and would have done better box office if ang lees shitfest wasn't first. I cannot fathom why anyone would consider ang lees shitfest superior.
-
Wow dude. Way to elegantly get your point across. The lie about the New Deal is hillarious. Unemployment went from 25% to 15% in seven years. It only went up in 1937 because he backed off to satisfy deficit hawks. That was a mistake.
And what the hell is wrong with single payer health care. You like a pencil pusher at an FOR PROFIT insurance company deciding the type of care you get. How come we pay the most of any industrialized country for health care, and get the worst results. Single payer would leave the decisions on your health care to your doctor. And you could go see any doctor, not only those in your network.
Keep listening to Hannity, Coulter, and Rush for your information. Sorry if taking care of Americans scares the crap out of you, but I am ready for this. It is why he was elected. Sorry that more Americans voted for him to do this than voted for McCain to keep the status quo.
I'll be back in a couple of hours to read what I am sure will be a hillarious reply about my me being a socialist/communist. -
How can Thor even considered?
I can see this being pushed out on a burning funeral pyre much like at the end of Branaghs Frankenstein...
Just can't see ANY potential.....
Make a fuckin spider-ham film if you need another comic book movie!!
-
because by doing so, it makes them feel superior. In other words it all boils down to being a cunt or not being a cunt. It's really rather simple, and I can't believe Norton isn't getting a sequel to his Hulk. I guess they want the money for another remake.
-
Is like watching children fight over a toy in pre-school. "I had it first!" "No, I did!", "You're stupid!" "No, YOU'RE stupid!" "Well you're a bed wetter!" "Suck my dick!" Yeah, I went to a pretty tough pre-school.
-
But the new one is much closer to the source material.
-
"You like a pencil pusher at an FOR PROFIT insurance company deciding the type of care you get."
At least that pencil pusher will lose his job if he's rude of screws up. Working for the government means never having to say you're sorry. Next time you're in line at the DMV waiting for a highschool drop out to get off their cell phone long enough to decide if you get your license renewed or not, reconsider. Can anything be worse than an HMO? Yeh, a LOT LOT worse. -
Look no further then the post above this one.
-
Best casting ever. The Hollywood types can work out a tie in with a muscial or something.
-
I was really enjoying your takes on movies and Hulk racism until you started with the "everything conservative is evil, 8 years of hell" blah blah blah.
Please don't fall into the category of most posters here which seems to be extreme right or left political talking points. I have very few friends.
*tear rolls down cheek. -
" How come we pay the most of any industrialized country for health care, and get the worst results" Dude, it may not be the cheapest, or free, or what ever the fuck, but the doctors and the hospitals are by far the best. That why people who manage to get rich in other countries fly here for health care went the shit really hits the fan for them health wise. And you cannot improve the system until there is some kind of control on waste of time and money law suites, and illegals using the emergency room as an HMO. My sister is doctor and was just telling me about the 14 year illegal she had to do a c-section on to deliver her twins. She told her translator her dad made her get pregnant so they could start get social benefits. So there is a about 24k right there on the tax payer's backs. Multiple by 10,000,000 and I think you would admit there are some problems in that area to be addressed. I have plenty examples of bullshit law suites ( I used to videotape depositions) if you want examples of those. We need to talk to people who WORK in the medical field about the problems they face, not base policy on an op-ed in the Huffington Post.
-
Sorry! I agree about the political stuff on marvel movie talkback. can I take my post back?
In the plus column, the CGI effects will be really really good by the time they make the avengers movie. -
You colossally dumb shit stain, maybe instead of sucking that big black dildo you've got taped to that life-sized standee of Barry-O in your bedroom you should spend more time reading. The Wagner act is what caused the slump in the economy not that he "backed off" on spending to appease "deficit hawks". For fucks sake you're either a liar or a fucking retard. And JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST, you call going from 25% to 15% unemployment with runaway spending by the government over a course of 7 god damn years a fucking success????? By the way fuck nut Henry Morgenthau even said it didn't work. But hey some half educated cunt such as yourself can't be bothered with actually learning that now can you?
-
I'm jus sayin'
-
Except for Batman, but then let us give it a rest for a few years. The nerds of the world should focus on great SciFi
-
I'd see that.
-
Rock on, guy!! FDR lives on in BHO! Investment in America is where it's at and let's hope it continues on as such. Screw Rush and his little "i hope America fails" rant. Sounds a little traitorous to me.
On a more serious note- to answer a previous talkbacker- I don't think I could ever get tired of comic book movies. If done right, where else do you find a treasure trove of escapist fiction to bring to the big screen? -
...not that any of this matters, but I'm bored: Raimi and Tobey are returning to Spidey 4, which is why it jumped ahead. Thor can speak English because in the Marvel incarnation he was forced to share bodies with an American doctor. Don't get the Liv/Sabretooth hate. That's pretty much how Sabre has been depicted throughout the character's history. In particular the time frame of this movie, as most flashbacks between Wolvie/Sabre throughout the 80's and 90's depicted Sabre as looking exactly the same except for shorter sideburns and hair. The fur/hair that people seem to associate with him came from his ridiculous costume. Without the costume, he looks like a larger (not giant) version of Logan, just with shorter hair and sideburns (shaped like Logan's), real fingernail claws, and small fangs. They are supposed to closely resemble each other, because until they copped out with the 'false memory implant' crap, Sabre was Wolvie's birth father. It's actually the Sabretooth in X-Men that's a messed up representation. Again, not that any of it matters.

Dude, I have real hope that this is the year that Sci Fi makes its comeback. WIth "Star Trek" and "Terminator" coming out, there is hope that sci fi once again becomes the prominent genre of the big budget movies.

Take it from an MD who is paid a straight salary, no matter how busy he is, or how many patients he sees. The system is broken, agreed, but putting big brother in charge is a HUGE fucking mistake. Talk to ANY doctor from the UK. Our national 'stats' are low re: infant mortality etc... b/c we are being compared to western EU nations that are largely homogenized. There ARE NO crack babies in Sweden for instance. So the comparisons are all rendered moot. Anytime a foreign dignitary or Saudi prince gets lymphoma...they get on the the fastest private jet to Mayo Clinic. And lick my salty lobster claws if you argue otherwise because I am the one treating them. Not Michael Fucking Moore. Don't believe the hype you monkeys. The US in still #1 for top quality health care. We should just make it available for all without submarining what makes us great.

Jax, I am with you my brother. Plus Avatar is coming..

God I miss Kubrick
-
Of course if you are an MD your salary is probably 10 times more than 99% of the people on here and you'd have the most to lose if the government dictated how much you made. Just sayin...
-
I keep forgetting about Avatar. I guess I'm not sure what it is so I'm not sure what to think.
-
do you take issue with federal funding for law enforcement, armed forces, roads/infrastructure? didn't think so. think these things through. you'll let the government provide protection for your private property but not your health?
-
and the 9 film deal the tards at MARVEL just made. I have higher hopes for future DC properties now. Perhaps they'll stick to continuity.
-
I despise Raimi and that uncharismatic S.O.B Tobey Mcguire. Reboot this franchise already.
-
It is one of the most successful film franchises of all time. While Spider-Man 3 wasn't perfect, I believe people ride it a little too hard on these boards. And if rumor is to be believed, it wasn't Raimie who screwed it up. I was Sony swooping in late in development telling them to replace Vulture with Venom.

Gotta show love for neck-bitin' vamps in this time of Twilight. AMIRITE?

There's no way corporate America can compete with overseas companies when they're burdened with the increasing costs of healthcare, while those overseas companies are not.

Hey, what about the time the Masters of Evil invaded the Avengers Mansion and fuckin trashed it? That was pretty bad ass, huh? Of course, that'd be a few movies down the line. And I don't think they'd go around calling themselves "Masters of Evil". Maybe just the Masters, or they could use the Lethal Legion monniker. That sounds cool and toyetic. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT? GO TO ECONOMIST DOT COM IF YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THIS BULLSHIT! I would like to discuss the possibilites of a bad ass Avengers franchise! Anyone? Anyone? Is this thing on?

Get thee back to Thor talk.

But I agree with DoctorWho?. I am going to lay off the political stuff, because honestly there is no changing my mind, and there is no changing the other sides. I am glad others piped up, but lets just lay down the arms and rip into each other for our likes and dislikes of movies, tv, and such. I am not a left wing nut, and can see the points of the other side, as long as they are laid out with thought and facts. Many here have done that, and thanks. Anyway......
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY INCREDIBLE HULK 2? -
We can still be friends. I promise that I won't forcibly take half your income either!
-
Give it to me! Don't care how - i want it NOW! Sigh - I guess if the Watchmen Motion Comic is that much better than the movie, I might as well settle for the Ultimates Digital Comic. At least I can watch it now (and it's better than Ultimate Avengers, so what does that tell you?).
-
don't hold up to repeated viewings
Once the excitment of actually having the movies wears off
you start to realize just how bad rami is at casting
and that just ruins the whole experience -
I love comic books. I love comic book movies. It's a great time to be a geek, I tells ya'.
-
I was going to lay off the political stuff, but when say "if you are an MD your salary is probably 10 times more than 99%" I gotta jump in. Know any doctors personally? You got to go thru 8 years of medical school, and then go thru 4 years of making next to nothing working 20 hour shifts under more stress than you can imagine. If they screw up, someone could die. If you screw up, someone has to reorder their white chocolate mocca. Plus you can't take only "machine shop" classes in high school and expect to get into medical school, so you need to bust your ass before you are even admitted to college. Factor in the cost of the college, now a days about 100k when you are done, plus 150k a year in malpractice insurance, and you don't have any easy path. Even if someone worked hard enough, doesn't mean they would be smart enough or could handle the stress of being and intern at a busy ER. That are tons of ways to make a lot of money that are easier and quicker than being a doctor. Only about 1% of the people can make the cut. So pay them accordlinly. You want to go after someone who makes a ton of money for no fucking good reason, go after lawyers, or Kanye West.
Now, will the Vision be in the Avengers movie? Can be the Perez Avengers without him and the Scarlet Witch! -
I just don't understand it, its not just you a lot of people seem to think there is no potential in a THOR movie, its fricken LORD OF THE RINGS WITH GODS!!!! done right it could be one of the most epic and badass fantasy films of all time.
-
Look. Any simple person could conclude that we cannot resolve a $1 trillion deficit by borrowing/printing another $2 trillion dollars of debt.Any simple person could conclude that there was plenty of pork in the porkless bill that was recently signed into law.Any simple person could conclude that there would be another inevitable pork laden stimulus bill, given talk about TARP II.Any simple person could conclude that Bwarmy Fwank was wrong all along.Any simple person could conclude that we shouldn't put the people responsible for Katrina and the DMV in charge of national health care (or corporal punishment for that matter).And any simple person could conclude that politics has no place in any discussion of a Thor movie.
-
In the commics, who were the giants dudes that came to earth and stood in a circle, deciding if Earth should live? The fucked up the Destroy, who had Odin and everyone's from Aasgard's energy in it.
-
I think your thinking of the celestials http://tinyurl.com/7dqbad

But still: Skarsgard for Asgard!
-
Definitely
-
and Spam Jackson is mutherfuckin Odin
They had to push the dates back because of Smiffs and Spams full schedules -
So why the fuck is your simple ass still bringing it up after things had gotten quiet? Is it because you can't help yourself or you're just a fucking retard like that other simpleton?
-
going to be busy doing Barry-O: The Rise of Che Guevera Jr., so doing his turn as Thor is right out. That's unfortunate because this movie could get silly rather quickly if they aren't careful.
-
Just them them right is all I ask. Please.
-
hek why not?

If you don't know him look him up. He's right age, right size, right looks, and can act.....and I don't give a fuck that he's British.

I realize Marvel is trying to get its ducks lined up for an AVENGERS movie...and, sure, die-hard comic geeks will love seeing some onscreen sense of continuity played out on the big screen...but look at that schedule. You're talking about 2011 being Spider-Man (May), Thor (June), Captain America (July). Boom-Boom-Boom, three characters, three months, in your face.I think diehard comic geeks will love it, I'm sure Marvel is pumping it's fist saying "Yeah, you're all going to be our financial bitches that summer! We'll own you all!", but I'm guessing the average movie goer will say "What the fuck? ANOTHER superhero movie? Didn't we JUST see one? What ELSE is playing at the multiplex?" -- at which point the movie with strong counter-programming (a space opera, a straight-up RAIDERS like action movie) is going to clean up. At which point Marvel will be saying "Hey, where are all our fans???"
-
I'm not investing in this
-
Sink like the UK? bite me. The reason we're in the shitter (and by the way, we're not socialist) is because of America. Our toadying government slavishly noshing off GWB and the rest of the republican pricks while disastrously copying their policies for the financial sector and allowing our banks free rein to get involved in your greedy-assed sub-prime fiasco. And before you call me a liberal, I voted conservative last time. Just because I'm not a wife beating evangelical incestuous gun toting death penalty approving fundamentalist tool doesn't mean I'm a socialist. cunt.
-
Shut the fuck up.Now, what is it we're talking about in this space, again ? Oh, yeah, that's right. The Avengers. Who wants to shoot him in the head for ruining a nice, ongoing discussion? Any takers ?
-
That would teach him. Fucking moron.
-
A great documentary which show people's ignorance in regards to a level of socialism.
Lots of people were against it but simply didn't understand it.
What was funny and also disturbing is how ordinary people were worried about wealth distribution, and Obama's tax increases. The filmmaker tried to point out that it applied to those earning over $250k only, but the message didn't get through.
The US needs to find a better balance in regards to economic policy, companies shouldn't be made more uncompetitive in the world by having to provide healthcare to their employees. -
Clearly Marvel wants to make tons of cash. But I think are planning to put out way too much product.
How about seeing whether Cap and Thor are succeses before putting out Avengers or vice versa.
-
SM3 fucking LOST! Give the rights back to Marvel and give us a REAL Spider-Man flick. One with at least ONE thing that makes SM such a great character. Maybe instead of making Peter a sobbing sad sack 30 year old, you have him crack a joke from time to time.
-
Yep. Like a round of Candyland or Operator. You play it once 'cause Grandma bought you the game for Christmas, and it looks like fun. You come back once or twice 'cause the annoying buzzer sound annoys your mom, and that's cool. But it goes to the bottom of the pile quicker than your old checkers board. There are far too many superhero movies.
-
That is all.

douche.
