My thoughts and stuff…
THE AVENGERS is only a couple days away, so all of us at Gordon and the Whale want to make sure that you are in the know.
We’d like to present a new column: The Cheat Sheet.
This is your place to go if you got behind on the media frenzy, or even if you just want a reminder about the film. Below you will find a compilation of trailers, posters, clips, and some stuff you can buy about the movie at hand.
Get out your notebooks, kids.
It’s heading towards summer, which means that the cineplexes get filled with explosion-packed goodness, and all the big action blockbusters get released. Although we all have our favorites that we’re most excited about, there is no question that THE AVENGERS is the film I’m anticipating the most. This film is like a dream come true.
What I’ve been calling the AVENGERS media onslaught is in full-force, and we’ve been getting a ton of content directly from the Mouse-House. Today, we have got a ton of new images (a photopalooza if you will) showing off the look of the film.
2012 is here, finally! That means that Marvel’s biggest movie yet, THE AVENGERS, is only a hop, skip, and an excruciating but short wait away. Subsequently, the onslaught of AVENGERS media has begun, and is welcomed with green gamma-radiated arms wide open. So, in the wake of the next theatrical trailer hitting tomorrow, Mouse-eared Marvel has put out a new poster for us to feast our eyes on.

Stanley Tucci is an actor who is usually known for bringing incredible performances to any film he is a part of. Most recently, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in THE LOVELY BONES.

Everyone is really happy and excited that THE AVENGERS is finally coming to fruition, especially comic lovers like myself. Unfortunately for us, we know very little about film, aside from casting and Joss Whedon’s direction. We’ve been patiently waiting for any little hint about the film, and we finally have some facts thanks to Whedon himself.

In the past year, road movies have hit the mainstream once again, and public interest has never been higher. This resurgence of interest has ultimately led to Russell Brand reprising his role of Aldous Snow from FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL in the international road movie GET HIM TO THE GREEK. To celebrate the film and genre, we have a talk about our favorite road movies.

Back in March, we started hearing rumblings that go-to bad guy, Hugo Weaving, was very likely to play The Red Skull in FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA. Just like Chris Evans for the role of CAPTAIN AMERICA, Marvel let the news make the rounds on the Internet before making any official announcement. Now we know with complete certainty that Weaving will be taking up the role. Continue reading “Hugo Weaving will play Red Skull in CAPTAIN AMERICA after all”
IRON MAN 2 is practically here, and we figured there would be no better way to reign in one of the biggest summer blockbusters than to dedicate an entire episode to Marvel. The future of Marvel is so bright these days (and dare we say ambitiously so) that it’s gonna need shades.

Now that Cap has been cast, the role of Peggy Carter in FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA is getting all the attention. The other day, the big news was that Emily Blunt was offered the role but declined. Although Blunt doesn’t want it, there are plenty of young actresses out there that do. Two of them are currently screen-testing for a second time, which means we’ll probably have our leading lady soon enough. Continue reading “Alice Eve top choice for CAPTAIN AMERICA female lead”
