Stephen Arnell wouldn’t mind being Green Arrow in a Justice League movie.

I think that Green Arrow has an opportunity to mature in much the same way Iron Man did in the Marvel universe. He wasn’t necessarily a top level character, but because they made an Iron Man movie and it was successful, it vaulted him up and now he anchors The Avengers.

Boy sure wants to sell the idea!

Let’s explain DC Comic’s Trinity Wars, where someone dies and things get a turn to the worse!

Talking about things turning to the worse, remember that not-so-good League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie? Turns out that wasn’t the last time that graphic novel was going to be on the screen. Yup, Fox ordered a TV pilot! Bet Alan Moore ain’t too happy about that!

Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow talks about Hit-Girl~

When we start at the beginning of this film, emotionally, she’s right where she was at the end of the first film. She’s Hit-Girl and she’s going to high school and pretending to be Mindy McCready, but she believes she really is a superhero, and in our film she’s confronted with the harsh reality. At some point she’s going to have to figure out who she is or she’s never going to have a normal life.

OK, I’m liking this Entertainment Weekly cover! And it’s our first official look at Jamie Foxx as Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

BTW, Andrew Garfield talks about the possibility of having a bisexual Spider-Man with a male MJ included! He even has an actor in mind!

And I was like, ‘What if MJ is a dude?’ Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality?  It’s hardly even groundbreaking!…So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys? […] I’ve been obsessed with Michael B. Jordan since The Wire. He’s so charismatic and talented. It’d be even better—we’d have interracial bisexuality!

And here’s the cover art of LEGO Marvel Super Heroes! It looks so precious~

George Lucas admits how Star Wars was possible thanks to Star Trek on the documentary Trek Nation:

Star Trek softened up the entertainment arena so that Star Wars could come along and stand on its shoulders. There was an effective group of people in the beginning who accepted it… that it wasn’t that far out. For the studios it was way far out, [they said] ‘what is this?’, but there was a fanbase out there — primarily the Star Trek fanbase — who understood sci-fi, understood visual sci-fi, and was ready for something like this (Star Wars) to be in the feature arena.

    I was talking about this- do you think Mads’ votes are gonna get split with Dancy’s? Both are really leads, and it does get that bromance thing. If Will had been a woman, he would get Lead Actress and there’d be no conflict.

    And YES! to Jackman’s three-way studio combo split.

      @amy, Yes to both things. Hugh Jackman talks to my heart. And I am worried about Hannibal, I mean, I love both leads and I wished both got nominated. Mads gets the titular character but Dancy’s doing a lot of work!
