This poster was also in the same post as the True Blood one at Slashfilm today, but seriously, I had to dedicate an entire post to it. Scarlett Johansson has always been on my list of ridiculously amazing babes. Let’s ignore perhaps her little piggy nose, and focus on the fact that she’s got curves that could stop a lesser mortal’s heart.

You take those curves and stuff them black leather? Between her and Robert Downey Jr, My groin is seriously going to burst.

Yo, forget receiving the offer, Chris Evans is officially Captain America. I came across the news today over at Slashfilm.

Via Slashfilm:

The casting search for Steve Rogers aka the title role in The First Avenger: Captain America has finally come to the end. Marvel Studios and director Joe Johnston have hired Chris Evans for the role.

I’m not really sure how I feel about it. Since Saturday, I’ve come around on Evans. As countless dudes pointed out; including Pepsibones amongst others; Evans can act. Dude has chops in Sunshine, okay, agreed. Leave me alone about it. Don’t read this post and go WATCH SUNSHINE,

On the other hand, the dude just doesn’t…come across as Captain America? He’s more playboy than wholesome. He’s more sexy than commanding. Who knows. I could be completely, and I hope I am, wrong. I just can’t picture the dude playing an authoritative role.

Steve Rogers is capable of leading brosephs into battle against the Red Skull and Nazis. He’s supposed to give them hope and faith. At best, Chris Evans gives me a broner.

We’ll see.

Came across this over at Slashfilm. What a gorgeous construction. While I’ve always been interested and entertained by steampunk, I’ve always been more of a cyberpunk sort of guy. This shit is gorgeous though, and for a good cause.

The helmet was created for the TK Project, a charity event the 501st Stormtooper Legion is holding for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Most righteous.

If my hands weren’t tied by the unalterable fetters of the law, then I would invoke the tradition of our illustrious forebears, reach back to a purer, sterner justice, and have you BURNED AT THE STAKE!

Chris Evans as Captain America? Has the whole world gone crazy?! The dude who played Johnny Storm in those shitty Fantastic Four movies has been offered the helm of not only the Captain America but also the Avengers flick? And a thousand nerd-boys cried out at once.

If Chris Evans fancies adding another comic book character to his resume, then the coveted mantle of Captain America is reportedly his for the taking.Heat Vision warn that he’d have to free himself from an obligation to headline the rom-com What’s Your Number? with Anna Faris before he could take the role, but I’d imagine he’s already got Miles Massey types working on it.Evans was not part of Marvel’s original hit list for the role, but he’s apparently ridden in late in the day to win them over.

I actually dig Chris Evans. And I thought he was perfect as Johnny Storm. Unfortunately, ridiculous, quasi-brain-damaged-but-amusing isn’t exactly how I envision Steve Rogers. Oh well. Maybe they see something in him that I don’t. I mean, I dug his serious turn in Sunshine, so there’s that. I don’t know though, color me disappointed with a mild shade of inexplicable hopeful optimism. And uh, throw in some woeful resignation. And confusion. And a slight appreciation for Evans’ body, which is gorgeous.

Came across this today at Slashfilm. It’s one of a bunch of posters, all of which make my balls swell.

Joe Corroney has been providing Lucasfilm with official Star Wars artwork for books, games, trading cards, comic books, posters and magazines since 1997. He recently created a set of propaganda posters which he’s selling the original art for $250 a piece.

I can’t afford $2.50 for one of these, let alone $250. But if I had the money I would be totally fiscally irresponsible.

Snap! Hugo Weaving has been cast as The Red Skull in the Captain America movie. Let me blast your tits with an analogy. This casting decision is as awesome as casting Jim from The Office as Steve Rogers would have been fucking awful. Take that to your Miller’s Analogies test. I dig on Weaving, the dude has owned my soul as Agent Smith, V from V For Vendetta, and as that Elf Guy whose name I won’t attempt to type from Lord of the Rings.

I tried to discuss this with my friend Andrew, and he went into such a blind rage about this casting being typecasting that I wanted to massage his testicles through the interwebz. I love you Andrew, it’s going to be okay. I’m fine with the casting, since I want The Red Skull to be some creepy, booming-voiced Nazi motherfucker. He’s got the sort of mug that screams “I’m creepy”, and his aforementioned voice is perfectly down for epic proclamations and monologuing, which we know all good villains must do at some point.

This is a total +50 to anticipation for the movie, and the first time I’ve been like, oh shiznit, this flick could work.

I saw Tron when I was a little kid. And knowing how neurotic I was, it probably gave me nightmares. After I saw the second Terminator movie, I was convinced that every other child I interacted with was secretly a robot plotting my death. I’m not kidding.

Since it’s been so long, I really have no idea what the movie was about. That isn’t stopping me from being really stoked about the sequel. It’s got all the ingredients to make me excited for a movie. It’s got Hot Chicks In Latex. It’s got futuristic, maybe even retro-futuristic visuals. And it’s got The Dude. It’s a perfect storm. Watching the trailer is like snorting a line of Nerdboner Viagra. Check out the trailer below.

Holy sweet Jesus Christ, the new Iron Man 2 trailer makes me throw rope everywhere. It’s got everything to put a Tony Stark fanboy like myself into a state of rapture so powerful I want to explode with nerdgasm. Alright, so Mickey Rourke is either going to be cheeseball villain perfection to some, and unbearable goof to others. He’s commentary about God and blah blah and the crappy accent? I dig it, but I can see why you wouldn’t.

All I know is that the moment when Stark takes   Iron Man armor out of a suitcase and it binds onto him? Pure technogasm sex. No, seriously. As a gadget fiend, I was fapping furiously and unrepentantly. One of my favorite aspects of the first movie was all the toys and technology Stark employs. The clicking and clinking of armor in the first one was sex to me, and the suitcase armor in this trailer gives the same service to my nerd-nads.

Also euphoric? Scarlett Johansson as a righteous redhead, what looks like to be some derivative of the Crimson Dynamos, and fucking War Machine. I need this shit, now. Check out the trailer below.
