Marvel’s Shot A Secret ‘Avengers’ Trailer, Featuring The Villain?
It’s almost too fucking bad that we live in a universe filled with eternal spoilers and the death of the reveal. I realize that I contribute to the perpetuation of this problem, but I can’t help it. I’m an addict. Word vomiting out of Ain’t It Cool News is that Marvel has already shot a secret trailer for The Avengers, which will be attached to either Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, or both. And oh yeah, the trailer drops the reveal on the villain behind the enormo-flick coming out next year. This would have been a total balls-draining geekgasm to experience without foreknowledge, but c’est la internet or whatever.

Diane Lane Cast As Martha Kent In Snyder’s Superman.
The Snyder Superman Reboot is really real!, and the proof continues rolling in. We’ve been spittin’ about Kevin Costner perhaps playing Pa Kent. Well, now we know definitely who will be holding it down as Ma Kent. The role shall be inhabited by none other than Diane Lane, and good Clark Joseph Kent’s mother is going to be a total MILF.
Blade Runner Is Getting A Prequel/Sequel. My Soul Dies.
In further proof that there is no God, Hollywood is a runaway Devil Machination, and everything sucks, there’s a fucking Blade Runner Prequel/Sequel in the works. I wish I could describe to you how much this crushes my soul and shits down my gullet. Why doesn’t the scar tissue ever form, why does this still burn? Star Wars prequels, Matrix sequels, the Watchmen movie. It still burns!
Hit the jump for details.
New Pic of Emma Frost And Sebastian Shaw From X-Men: First Class
Empire Magazine has a news article with a new picture of Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw from X-Men: First Class. Condemn all the fucking promotional materials surrounding this flick! Every time more promo shit leaks out of this movie’s guts, the more excited I get. I’ve gone from “Meh, this is probably going to blow” to “Holy shit, this could be tight.”
Hit the jump for the full picture.
American Revenge
Inspired by John Shelton Lawrence and Robert Jewett’s study, Myth of the American Superhero and my ever loving hard-on for Charles Bronson, the “American Revenge” mix features clips from some of my favorite vigilante movies. The beginning features footage from the videotaped confessions of Bernhard Goetz (aka the Subway Vigilante). With the mix, I leaned towards some lesser known films and excluded any rogue cops (sorry, Dirty Harry).
I’m not the best editor in the world, but I hope you like it and I hope you share it.
“Whereas the classical monomyth seemed to reflect rites of initiation, the American monomyth derives from tales of redemption…combining elements of the selfless servant who impassively gives his life for others and the zealous crusader who destroys evil.” – Myth of the American Superhero
Quentin Tarantino’s Next Flick Is A Spaghetti Western; Here’s The Details.
Oh shit! Quentin Tarantino is on the scene. News has began coming out that the motherfucker was bringing a Spaghetti Western into the world starring Christoph Waltz. Frankly, anything starring Waltz is something I’m interested in checking out. Since it first broke, intrepid sites have been throwing around details and rumors about the flick, which I have now collated for your convenience.
Sucker Punch Is A Musical! Boneheads’ Boners Shrink.
Everything about Zack Snyder’s forthcoming Sucker Punch has been marketed to the permanently adolescent juvenile boner brigade. Everything. This is a movie that is playing on dudes’ most basic desires to see chicks kick ass in skimpy skirts in environments and scenarios rendered from their comic book and video game infested brains. This marketing has worked on me. Worked well. What blew my mind today was something that the marketing has gone to great lengths to not mention. Sucker Punch has musical numbers. It looks like every dude with arrested development should buckle up, because this movie could very well be Glee for Dudes With Stained Undies.
Untitled Flick From Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman Near Financing; Praise The Gods.
Praise the fucking Lords, Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman are getting closer to being reunited for another film. The two motherfuckers behind two of my favorite cerebellum-fornicating flicks, Adaptation and Being John Malkovich are close to getting financing for their untitled new social satire. Rock the fuck on.
Sam Rockwell Dances Better Than You; I’m Full of Excuses
Hello lovelies. It’s me, Patrick. The other douche of Omega Level. I’ve been kind of MIA lately. In the immortal words of Han Solo, “It’s not my fault.” I’ve had bronchitis for a week and started a new writing gig that requires me to write my balls off for nine hours a day. It’s sadly hurting my extracurricular writing BUT I thought I’d pop in a say that I’m still here. I still love you all.
With that crap out of the way, I’d like to share with you this joyful video of Sam Rockwell dancing like a boss. Most the footage is from Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, but there’s some nice variety sprinkled throughout. Even Moon! Ya-yeah! The video helped perk me up for a long day of writing and watching the dog fart.
See you at tomorrow’s Cage Match.
Here’s Xavier and Magneto Character Posters for X-Men: First Class.
Marvel’s dropped some character posters for the upcoming X-Men: First Class. The posters are of Xavier and Magneto, and they follow the “Before he was a crippled bald dude, he was…” motif. Which, I must add, I’m totally digging. I didn’t realize that there would be such an emphasis on the friendship and ideological rift that erupts out of it between these two chaps. Good calls! It seems that often they’re left behind in lieu of giving greater focus to a hairy dude with blue fur dropping one-liners and optic blasts.
Which I’m cool with, but this is even cooler.
Hit the jump for the posters.
