This is an extended version of what we’ve been seeing in the trailers. It’s not much, but if you’re like me, you will eagerly eat up anything from an upcoming film that you are greatly anticipating. I really like where this is going and I continue to predict that Loki will see some amount of redemption from his evil ways and will then be killed.

Still, despite any redemption that may come, I don’t think I’ll cry too much when the guy who almost completely destroyed New York, and is responsible for the deaths of untold numbers of people, comes to meet his end…

Thor: The Dark World comes to…

Last year, I traveled to London to visit the set of the Marvel sequel Thor 2: The Dark World. The photo above is me holding Mjölnir, Thor’s iconic hammer – it’s actually heavier than it looks — in the massive weapon room of the film’s production offices. After the jump you can read about the many things that I learned while on set, and watch a video blog reaction I recorded after the visit. Later this week we’ll be publishing some of the interviews we conducted on set with the talent and crew, so be on the look out for them as well.

I had a lot of fun reading this and I highly recommend it…

If I had a complaint about Agents of SHIELD‘s first episode, it was the very end where they went all Back to the Future with Coulson’s car. That seemed cheesy and silly and uncalled for. But they did it, and I think this video adds a new height of hilarity to the situation.

Watch it and see what I mean.

I love the stories Joss Whedon tells. The man walks on water… he’s perfect, he can do no wrong. Okay, maybe that’s taking it too far, but the fact is he is among the best show runners, filmmakers, and story tellers of our day as far as I’m concerned. That’s why I have been looking forward to his upcoming show Agents of SHIELD since I first heard about it. And having now had the privilege of watching it, I wasn’t disappointed. Of course the hype machine has been in full production mode so it’s hard for a show to live up to that much promotion. But it did.

The pilot episode was, first and…

Are you guys excited? I am! I’ll be anxiously waiting to not see this tonight because I don’t have cable. Maybe I’ll go hang out with someone who does…

Well whatever, it’s just a TV show… ARGH, who am I kidding? I’m going to die until it comes to Hulu. And as always, this trailer looks great. Yeah, I know at this point the show is pretty much over-hyped, but I’m still expecting it to be great because, duh! Joss Whedon!

Clark did not have a great time in The Avengers, I don’t know if you noticed but things went kind of south for him.

Good to hear that Colson really was dead though. A lot of fans and people who think they know have told me that they thought the intension was always to bring him back and they new he wasn’t really dead and blah, blah blah. Well Joss himseslf says that was not the intention until they started talking about the Agents of SHIELD TV show.

Anyway, this if fun. Enjoy.

…but were too afraid to ask.

That’s right, in this video from IGN, we get the speed version of Ultron’s history, which is helpful for people like me who are fans of the movies but not of the comic books.

Obviously, the Ultron we’re going to see in the upcoming Avengers film will not be the Ultron of the comic books, but know a little bit about the history of the character seems like a good thing. Plus, I live the editing and sassy cuts in this video. Check it out:

“This time, it has Brad Pitt…

Bwaas!”

Man I love these trailers. World War Z wasn’t a bad film, but it did have its problems, as highlighted here.

I have to admit, a little bit of humor can go a long way to diffuse a situation, and he handles the situation with grace and humor here.

Warner Bros. apparently advised Affleck to stay away from the net for a few days after the casting announcement in order that he might avoid the disparaging fan comments he would receive. Says he, “Well, I’m tough, I can handle it.” After reading one comment he temporarily reverted to the stone age of the pre-internet era. Fun stuff.
