THE AVENGERS!! Linkspam!!1one!! (with commentary)
Okay, you guys... I AM OBSESSED with this movie (and it won't come out for another year OMG). I go online and look up news articles about it almost every day. Sometimes, I even hit refresh a few times to see if anything is different. IT'S THAT BAD.
This is not, by any stretch, ALL the links I have pertaining to this movie, but they ARE the most recent. I was sort of gathering them behind a locked entry because I didn't want to inflict madness on anyone else, but FUCK THAT NOISE. COME JOIN ME IN MY CRAZY.
Also: THERE ARE PROBABLY SPOILERS IN HERE FOR ALL THE MARVEL MOVIES AND, OF COURSE, THE AVENGERS. I can't remember any, specifically, but be forewarned.
Also II: Son of Also -- Likely swearing, abuse of capslock, and a liberal gloss of personal opinion (Such as: I don't DISLIKE Joss Whedon, but I'm terrified he'll disappoint me. I've been burned before! *shakes fist dramatically* If your opinion is that this makes me a horrible person, that's fine and I accept that, but you may not want to read the commentary). There are no naughty images, so as far as THAT goes, it's work safe...?
Hilarious "F*ck Yeah" Review Of Captain America: The First Avenger!
* Chris Evans! FUCK YEAH!
* Tommy Lee Jones! FUCK YEAH!
* Musical Number! WAIT, WHAT?
* Strangely Good! FUCK YEAH!
* Alan Menken! FUCK YEAH!
Six Awesome (Unofficial) "Minimalist" Posters For The Avengers!
* So, I totally WANT THESE. I would buy them and frame them and hang the on my wall.
Samuel L. Jackson Dishes On The Avengers Set Experience And Role Expansion!
* Samuel L. Jackson: "Someone stole my script and tried to sell it."
Polite British Reporter: "Really?"
Samuel GQMF L. Jackson: "Oh yeah, there was tons of trouble about it."
Polite British Reporter: "Where did you leave it?"
Samuel Baby Eater L. Jackson: "I didn't 'LEAVE. IT.' anywhere."
To which I can only guess the Polite British Reporter's response expression was something like O.O and then maybe ;_;
* Also, RDJ has been seen all over the place sporting his styling Tony Stark beard, but SLJ is clean shaven? O.o
Probably the most exciting/most nerve-wracking thing that has happened for the movie thus far is the announcement of Joss Whedon as director. Hijinks Ensue tells us why in: Avengers Get All Assembley!
* These are pretty much my fears, exactly.
* "You're fired. Forever."
* Now, I WANT to love the idea of Joss Whedon as director of The Avengers, I DO. It's just....when he sucks, he sucks hard. Come on, Joss Whedon! I know you can do it! Don't suck like you sometimes do!
Brian Bendis Praises The Avengers Script And Captain America: The First Avenger!
* I am sort of infant-baby-like into the comics!fandom, having only gained interest after watching the first Iron Man movie and then, like the good little slash fan I am, went looking for a hot guy to pair him with (starting with Rhodey and then moving to Bruce Wayne--mostly out of curiosity, because I think there'd be some really interesting interaction, there; then settling on Cap, of course.) so I am vaguely aware that there is some animosity toward Bendis for reasons that I am unsure of, but I've always enjoyed his writing--what I've read of it. Most importantly (to me), I usually like how he writes/characterizes Tony and Steve and Tony-and-Steve (and Thor!). So if HE says he thinks the script is amazing, then I feel hopeful.
* "I think it's the best thing Joss Whedon's ever written. I was in awe of it, and I still am." High praise! Better than Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog? Better than some episodes of Buffy and Firefly? If that's true then this will be AWESOME.
Joss Whedon Talks About The Future Of The Avengers; Teases Franchise Potential!
* "My main goal is: make a movie that's good. If possible, make a movie that's super-good. Don't try to make a movie that's great, because then it will be pretentious."
Joss Whedon Reveals The Avengers Comic Book Influences; Describes On Set Experiences!
* Blah, blah, Buffy season 9 comic book (which I am somewhat interested in, but that's not the point--although, crossovers, whee!!)
* Skip to 3:26 for The Avengers questions.
* I like this reporter. He seems geek enough to ask interesting questions.
* I like that Joss Whedon talks about geeking out on set, and even more squee-worthy (to me) is the idea of everyone geeking out over EACH OTHER.
* "'I'm hanging out with THOR.' 'I'm hanging out with IRON MAN.' 'I'm hanging out with CAPTAIN AMERICA.' 'You guys are GEEKS.'"
* "That guy has horns. I'm going with it!"
Joss Whedon on THE AVENGERS - "It's not just big... it's BIG!"
* This is the written version of one of the interviews already posted further up the list for people who cannot play the video.
* Most of note on this page, if you've already seen the interview, is the close up of Cap's new uniform. Gorgeous!
CAPTAIN AMERICA TO BE MODERNIZED FOR THE AVENGERS?
* Short little one-question interview, Chris Evans talks about Cap's main conflict in coming to the modern era. Not so much the technology, but the quieter, more human aspect.
* Although, I still want a few moments of Cap like, "What's EMAIL?"
Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant - Clip
"Agents Coulson and Sitwell face a problem in this clip from "Marvel One-Shot: The Consultant," available exclusively on the "Thor" Blu-ray on shelves September 13!"
* This. THIIIIIS. IT'S SO TOTALLY TONY STARK. I LOVE YOU, COULSON, AND I ALSO LOVE SITWELL, THOUGH I DON'T THINK HE'S BEEN IN ANY OF THE MOVIES, SO FAR.
* They are, apparently, planning at least two or three of these little movies featuring Agent Coulson which ties--or at least vaguely connects--all the movies together.
* That high-pitched sound you hear is my vocal chords attempting to put some kind of noise to my glee.
* EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
That is all.
