Bendis Ending His ‘Avengers’ Run Next Year, Comparing It To ‘Breaking Bad’. Words. Bold.
When Brian Marvel Bendis began his run on Avengers, he was the Apple of my Comics Eye. These days I’ve cast aside his nineteen Avengers titles, convinced that he’s spread too thin. Too many witty quips to pen. Too many cute repartees. Bendis may be sensing the same thing, and he’s going to wrap-up his eight fucking year run next year. Jesus I feel old. He’s ending it, and man he’s making claims.

The New Yorker Breaking ‘Girl With Dragon Stuff’ Review Embargo. Sony’s Cheesed.
Sony let some lucky swanky motherfuckers in to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo early. The caveat was that they had to hold their responses in their gullets until Sony’s proscribed embargo date. Seems pretty easy to me. Let me in Sony, fuck. It seems that despite initial acquiescence to the request, shit fecal matter is about to splatter the fan. The New Yorker reviewer David Denby is intentionally breaking the embargo tomorrow. This doesn’t sit well with producer Scott Rudin.

Trailer: ‘Lockout’ Or ‘Taken In Space’. But More Awesomer!
I was sold back a ways when it was announced that Luc Besson’s Lockout was essentially Taken in space. Sold like woah. Taken being one of the greatest movies ever starring Liam Neeson kicking ass. Of which there is a considerable library now. After seeing the International Trailer? Doubly stoked.
