New Thor Official Images And Hilariously Dumb Character Photos!
Marvel has released a couple of new official images from the Thor movie, and goodness me am I gooey over this flick. I can’t tell who I find sexier, Natalie Portman or Chris Hemsworth. My girlfriend and I release simultaneous sighs of appreciation whenever we catch a Thor trailer, and she said during the Super Bowl debut that she would be okay if I left her for him.
I’m in the clear!
Also in here are a bunch of hilariously awful character photos. Completely out of context bullshit shots with awful photoshop in the background. These photos are destined to adorn shitty posters in Hot Topic and school folders.

Mr. Brainwash Spits About Banksy And Exit Through The Gift Shop.
In a daring move, I’m pretty sure that Exit Through The Gift Shop was my favorite movies of all the bullshit I caught last year. See that qualifier? Good. I enjoyed its dissection of what happens when the underground is embraced, and then commodified by mainstream culture. Street art went from a subversive means of getting across ideas, or just drawing shit, and became a popculture staple. What the fuck is the response to your own success? At the epicenter of this conversation was the documentary’s star, Thierry Guetta or Mr. Brainwash. He was the point made literal; the bastard who bastardized Banksy’s motives and shoved it down the gullible masses’ throat.
But the question’s always been, is Brainwash even fucking real?
Dude to talked this week The Envelope, and Slashfilm has wrestled out some interesting nuggets.

D.J. Caruso Confirms In A Tweet That He’s Directing ‘Preacher’
It was rumored, now it’s confirmed. D.J. Caruso is going to direct Preacher. The magical blathering mind behind Disturbia and Eagle Eye is now going to handle one of my top ten favorite comic book series of all time. Well fuck. First Baz Luhrmann does the inexplicable in announcing that he’s taking Gatsby to the world of Goofy Glasses and Gimmicky Bullshit. Now this.
Caruso announced it in a tweet today.
Tom Hardy Talks About Playing Bane In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
When it was announced that Tom Hardy was going to be in The Dark Knight Rises, I was fucking pumped. Dude has crazy acting chops, and he’s studly like woah. When it was announced that he was playing Bane, I was like, okay cool. There’s no consternation emanating from me regarding any choice that Nolan has for his final Batman. No sir. He’s earned the pass. Others wondered how he’d incorporate a muscle-bound 1990’s reject character into his mythos. They worried. They fretted.
I didn’t, I knew it would be his own unique spin on it. Tom Hardy confirmed such a sentiment today during an interview.
Kevin Costner To Be In Zack Snyder’s Superman? Let’s Do This!
UPDATE: Slashfilm posted the following:
Latino Review reports that Kevin Costner would play Jonathan ‘Pa’ Kent. That was one of the few roles for which Kevin Costner seemed like a logical choice. Seeing him play a villain could have been a lot of fun, but Pa Kent will play solidly to his strengths and image.
Well, guess we know who he’ll play.
Original article follows.

Faster than a speeding douchebag, I’ve become a bit intrigued in Frat Boy Rock’s Superman. Word out of the Hollywood Hype Machine is that Kevin Costner of all people is up for a role in Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot. If Snyder is just going to go bananas with this movie, then I can get behind it. He wanted Lohan in the flick, and now he wants Costner.
“Black Widow Gone Wild” Is Stop Motion Violent Sexiness.
Patrick Boivin, the same dude behind Iron Baby and AT-AT Afternoon has returned to the interwebs with more geek porn. This time it’s Black Widow Gone Wild, which features the Widow tooling on a variety of pathetic dummies, from Rocky to Michael Jackson to Batman. Doing it all while looking sexy as hell in her Johansson likeness, clad in leather.

The Great Gatsby Is Being Filmed In 3D. Baz Luhrmann Sucks.
I love The Great Gatsby more than I love Watchmen, and the trainwreck that was that adaptation devastated me. This is only going to crush me worse. Not only does Baz Luhrmann suck, but he just upped his fucking blowitude to the next level. He’s filming The Great Gatsby in 3D.
Fuck.
Fucking.
Fucking shit.
Shane Black To Direct Iron Man 3; Praise A Deity.
Shit’s gone gold, Shane Black 3 is going to be the director of Iron Man 3. There isn’t anymore ruminating, you can bite this news without worry of Fool’s Gold. According to Deadline, the Obviously Hooded Cabal at Marvel is in final negotiations with Black to direct the final flick in the trilogy, though it isn’t certain if he is going to write it or not.
RDJ teaming up with the dude who essentially relaunched his career, the same dude who wrote The Last Boyscout makes me a bit more excited about this movie. Hopefully it’s more memorable than the cute but ultimately forgettable second installment.
Thor Trailer #2! My Chainmail Fetish Heightens.
I’m really excited for Thor. Like, really excited. Everything I’ve seen from the movie, excluding a few out-of-context shots, has me thinking this has the makings of a dope comic book flick. This new trailer brings some of the Thor Is A Stupid Bastard Misunderstanding American Cultural Norms humor that has come to pass in Thor stories, and it’s all a bit amusing. I’ll admit, I laughed like an asshole at the Facebook comment.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer, and I’m interested to see what you think.
