The Fangirly Diary of a Geek Girl: Getting ready for the party!
MONDAY
Guy Pearce as Aldrich Killian in a poster for Iron Man 3. Man, he looks almost too tanned. Also here’s some marketing artwork!
Joss Whedon talks about S.H.I.E.L.D. and it’s cute:
I’m excited about the show because it’s a very hopeful show. It’s not about murder, and it’s not about crime, and it’s not people looking into their own belly buttons. It’s about people who are trying to help each other, and that’s one of the things I loved about comic books.
Also he wishes for Cobie Smulders to be in S.H.I.E.L.D. as much as she can with her busy schedule.
So, there are rumors that the Ultimate Universe might disappear from Marvel Comics. Brian Michael Bendis, the daddy of the Ultimate Universe, say it’s “not going away anytime soon” on his Tumblr and Twtter.
Weee! Star Trek Into Darkness stuff! We have a motion poster where Benedict Cumberbatch narrates and a small featurette with J. J. Abrams, Chris Pine, and Zachary Quinto~
TUESDAY
Eddie Redmayne will be in an epic six-part adaptation of War and Peace for the BBC. Damn, that’s gonna be epic! And I have faith in that team!
And Les Misérables comes back to Broadway in March next year! They are totally hoping to get into the movie buzz. Man, I wish I’d be able to go watch it~
Here are some deleted scenes from the second season of Game of Thrones that can be seen on the Blu-Ray. Yep, the Blu-ray is out today!
Bryan Singer talks about his recent projects and endorses Nicholas Hoult if he wants/gets to be young Han Solo in a possible Star Wars spin-off movie. Also, there’s no hard feelings towards Man of Steel, who will probably do better than poor Superman Returns.
Oh, very excited to see it. I love the trailer, and I think Zack Snyder is incredibly talented. It would have been strange for me if this was a few years ago; it would have been a little weird. But now there’s so much distance from that world that I’m actually pumped to see it, genuinely. So I’m just looking forward to it.
J.J.Abrams talks about Klingons and also Alice Eve as Carol Marcus, but the important part is Klingons! The poor fellas got cut out from Star Trek, but now they are definitely here for Star Trek Into Darkness and they will be adversaries!
We shot some stuff that had klingons in [Star Trek] and then we ended up cutting the scene so it’s a deleted scene on the dvd but they are back in this one. Their role in this is definitely adversarial and you’ll see how that plays out. But you don’t have to know about any preexisting stories to watch this film.
Okay… So I’ve been slack in my spazzing with you. I’m so sorry. Because NOW I’ve got some madness that I need to get off my chest.
MEGAN EFFING FOX AS APRIL O’NEIL?!?!?! You’ve GOT to be shitting me after eating 85 spicy burritos!!! Firstly, April is a sexy red-head with as much balls as Casey Jones. And, anyway, about the other “choices”… why are we using teenagers/women who could get away with looking 16 when April was ALLLLL woman and was a leading anchor at the city’s leading news station? C’mon, folks. This would be something I wouldn’t believe even if Fox WASN’T playing one of my favorite characters of all time (she may have been my first lady crush… definitely my first ginger snap).
On to happier things… IDRIS!!! Anytime I see him do ANYTHING I want to see it/hear it/be around it. So him playing Mandela (which when I found out about it I sorta squealed REALLY loudly at about 2 in the morning) is just something that makes my heart sing. I think I would’ve prefered someone like Djimon Honsou. I mean, he’s not South African, but neither is Idris… HaHa.
Alright, Sir Ben Kingsley. I see your badass self with your sit-down swag!
In all honesty, I’ll watch every single X-Men permuation because it’s X-Men. Plot holes and shoddy continuity notwithstanding, it’s a reliable franchise: superheroes, tight outfits, explosions, magic… everything the intelligent mind needs.
I need to do better with my spazzing, lady. I’m sorry I’ve been so absent lately! I shall do better this weekend!!!
@Camiele, Spaz away, my lady~ In fact, I welcome you too. Also, I basically agree with every single thing you say.
@Mirella, I just feel bad that I spazzed so late… HaHa. I shall be better about my cray and sharing it with you since you do so well to share with the rest of us ^^
