FIRST LOOK at Hugh Jackman in ‘THE WOLVERINE’ is generic as poop.
How do you continue to underwhelm me about the upcoming Wolverine flick? Drop this generic as hell poster. Yeah, he’s got claws. He’s jacked. We get it. We get it.

‘THE MASTER’ Farts In Xenu’s Face
There are few films with more buzz surrounding them this year than Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master – his first film since 2007’s cynical masterpiece There Will Be Blood. The rumors boiling online that it’s a fictionalized look at the origins of Scientology have fueled controversy – peaking when word spread that the church’s shit-eating poster boy Tom Cruise “has issues” with the film.
But the film is not an expose on Scientology and certainly not an attack on its sci-fi theology. Although nearly everyone in the film is a member of a blooming, controversial cult, PTA only uses Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard as a loose framework to stage his perplexing and brilliant character study set in post-World War II America. At this point, PTA’s grasp of cinematic expression is ridiculous. Every shot, every camera movement is sharp and profound. As with There Will Be Blood, The Master grips you by the balls before a single line of dialogue is spoken, which doesn’t happen until several minutes in. Once Joaquin Phoenix opens his mouth…game over, man.
New ‘HULK’ standalone flick wouldn’t be until after ‘AVENGERS 2′, plus ‘AVENGERS 3′ teaser?
Look at Kevin Feige dropping No Duh! Bombs! Dude is all like saying that a standalone Hulk flick with Ruffalo wouldn’t come until after Avengers 2. No doi! All of us geeks have spent hours scouring Marvel’s Phase 2. This doesn’t surprise me. At all.

JOSS WHEDON on why he almost didn’t do ‘AVENGERS 2’, dude makes sense. Lots of it. ILU, Joss.
When Joss Whedon crushed it with Avengers, it seemed natural homeboy would take the reins for the second one. Not so! Not so at all. There was consternation a-plenty from geeks like me when he wavered, and wobbled. Oh glorious being! Please guide us into a second flick! Think more Dark Knight, and less Bruce Wayne Climbs. The Whedon answered our clarion cry, and now he is explaining why he almost didn’t.
THANOS’ CREATOR says he’ll be in ‘AVENGERS 2’, and ‘GUARDIANS.’ We’re all like, no shit.
Here is some non-news upside your head. Jim Starlin is the creator of Thanos, and he has let fly that the Death Loving son of a bitch is going to be in Avengers 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy. This comes as a shock to approximately nine people, recently emerged from an underground hovel where they had been trying to conjure Cthulhu.
