‘THE AVENGERS’ (Hulk) SMASHES All-Time Domestic Box Office Opening Weekend Gross. Hell Yeah.
Hellllllllll yeah. Avengers has broken the all-time domestic box office opening, farting on all those that dared come before it. Big, green Hulkian farts, flinging witty quips of disparagement as it does so.
The Avengers: You’re Going to See It. Now You’re Here to Understand Why You’re Going to See It.
The Avengers should be as necessary to you this weekend as breathing, if:
– You saw and enjoyed the Marvel Universe films of the past five years — like Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.
– You read and enjoy superhero comic books.
– You have a fucking pulse.
If two of these things apply, you’ve probably already seen it. If all three do, you saw it last night at midnight like the rest of us.
Solo ‘HULK’ Movie Being Considered For 2015 Release; GREEN BACKS PREVAIL.
I’m getting a bit of the old motion sickness from whipping my head around following the conflicting Hulky reports. I had just assumed a movie was in the works. Kevin Feige said no. Now some other dude who runs a part of the Marvel Entertainment Kraken is all like “Yeah, prolly”. Someone give me a goddamn answer!
INFOGRAPHIC: Marvel Movie Universe Timeline. SH*T IS INTENSE.
This shit is intense right hurr. How about the entire Marvel Movie Universe done up in an annotated timeline? Who has the time to make this shit? Wait, who has the time to blog all day about nonsense? Touche, good friend. Touche.
SAMUEL JACKSON and AGENT COULSON Come to MAINSTREAM MARVEL. Groancore.
Marvel foresees a problem. Their little indie flick coming out called Avengers has a character in it named Nick Fury who looks exactly like Samuel L. Jackson. When the aforementioned passion project drops, the three or four people who go from the theater to the comic shop looking for the old Nick Fury funny books (it isn’t going to happen) may get really, really confused when the mainstream character looks nothing like Deep Blue Sea shark-bait. Marvel’s got an answer for that conundrum. It’s just confusing. And stupid.
Video: ‘AVENGERS ON A BUDGET’ Is EPIC Gone Pudgy Shoestring
These shoestring recreations of the whiz-bang multimillion dollar Avengers trailers are pretty choice. It’s like we’re all totally stoked for the movie because its noodling our inner child, and then this movie is our inner child hood noodling the movie. I don’t know what the fuck that means.
Hit the jump to check it out.
‘HAWKEYE’ By FRACTION and AJA To Launch In August. Frak Yeah.
Everyone in the Avengers fucking party! I know, I know. Spreading thin, et cetera. I don’t care. Hawkeye by Fraction and Aja is coming, bringing with it a groin swell from my corner of the room.
Covers and deets post-jump.
Matt Fraction and David Aja Reteaming for new MARVEL SERIES. Oh Hell Yes.
I first really began to take notice of Matt Fraction during his stint on Iron Fist with Ed Brubaker and David Aja, many moons ago. A lifetime of funny books since. Now the Fraction-Man and Aja are going to be reteaming it seems, and this has my balls aflutter.
Rumor: Disney Planning A Marvel Animated Movie. Maybe. Whispers Say. Walls Talks.
Man! Sometimes corporations eating one another and defecating cross-platform synergy lessons can be awesome. That is, provided this rumor is true.
