Favreau Reveals 'Avengers' Line-Up {Cinematical}
Jun 24th 2008 3:44PM I like the choices; but I also think they should put Wasp in there in an effort to be as true to the original lineup as possible. I'll concede that there probably isn't a way to make an effective Avengers movie without Captain America, even if he wasn't technically part of the group until issue 3 or so.
Also, I really don't see the need for Ant Man or Wasp, if they included her, to have their own movies. Frankly, these are secondary characters at best, and don't necessitate their own film in my opinion.
The Geek Beat: The Touchiness of Geek Cred {Cinematical}
Jun 17th 2008 4:43PM "It really is ridiculous."
And that about sums up this topic nicely.
Also, I disagree that you cannot be a 'casual geek'. In fact, I would argue that I am one. The reason you perceive someone being able to be a 'casual sports fan' but not a 'casual geek' has much to do with where you are when you make this observation. Try going to a baseball card show, for example, and I would imagine the 'casual sports fan' would feel much the same way you did at your first Star Trek convention. At work, colleges can strike up the superficial 'they're going all the way' conversations to the cows come home.
The 'online community' has been, up to this point, one giant baseball card convention for the 'geek'. Fortunately, as Jason aptly noted, there is so much product aimed at geeks now no one can reasonably be expected to have been exposed to it all. And thank God for that because the whole Geek Cred concept, much like this Cowboys and Aliens comic you 'made' me flip through is lame. :)
Lexi Alexander Discusses 'Punisher: War Zone' Teaser {Cinematical}
Jun 16th 2008 11:38AM I'm quite keen to hear some line readings from Ray Stevenson that aren't more wooden than Pinocchio. I'd trade that for 'exploding heads' any day.

The Smurfs Are Headed for the Big Screen {Cinematical}
Jun 10th 2008 1:17PM You're crazy, clearly this should be all live action, except Gargamel, who should CGI. ;)
Monday Morning Poll: 'The Happening' or 'The Hulk'? {Cinematical}
Jun 9th 2008 2:16PM Knowing what The Happening is about, I have no desire to see it. Without spoiling it for anyone, let's just say that sometime a concept has never been tried before because it because it is too ridiculous to work. As a result, I'd rather Hulk-out this weekend.
Eva Mendes is a Bad Girl -- New Poster From 'The Spirit' {Cinematical}
Jun 9th 2008 10:35AM Posters like this one and virtually every other piece of promotional material for this movie give me the sneaking suspicion that it is shaping up to be a disaster The Phantom/The Shadow-proportions.

'He-Man' Script Gets an A+ {Cinematical}
Jun 3rd 2008 12:50PM Didn't the G.I. Joe script get an A+ or something close to it from Latino Review as well? All you have to do is look at how that production is shaping up to never underestimate the ability of Hollywood to $%&* up a 'good' script.
