Here is the new X-Files: I Want to Believe trailer and finally this is starting to look like it will be something half decent. Do I want to pay the price of a movie for something that would just have been an extended episode? That I don’t know just yet but likely I will go see it.
Yes I am buying time to finish my Emerald Comic Con post…

So I have mentioned this for a while now but now I will make a blog post about it. I am now in Seattle and going to the Emerald City Comic Con this weekend. I will try my best to do some blogging on Sat night / Sunday about the Con with some photos I can take or remember to take (likely cellphone pics as I don’t plan to stumble around w/ my camera — then again, I just might). I do plan on attending the DC Nation and Mondo Marvel panels along with going to various other panels and whatever else is going on.

Wolverine & The X-Men trailer looks kinda okay. Lots of characters from Gambit to Mojo to the Hulk(?). Interesting but I really hope its not too fricken Emo. I do like how Cyclops and Emma don’t get along and Wolvie is in charge.
Geez I hope WB doesn’t send me an email about putting up this content, it’s not like I am linking to a photo like this?

UPDATED: To all those that saw the photos of two-face and thought they were fake — Warner Bros has asked that the photo of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face be removed.
Over on For The Love of Comics blog, Crackerbob has the link to the new The Dark Knight trailer (seen before Iron Man) but over on Lying in the Gutters latest article post has the leaked teaser of Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent aka Two-Face.
Check out the new Batman trailer:

Posted in Comic Books, Iron Man movie, Marvel Comics, Television / Movies

So I went to see Iron Man before I became a gimp this weekend and I loved it. As many have said, “best comic book to movie” that Marvel Comics has done since the Spider-Man movie. Robert Downey Jr. was Tony Stark / Iron Man to a tee. Sure he is not the current Tony Stark but neither was Tobey Maguire the current Peter Parker / Spider-Man but a good one none the less. If you have the money and time, go check it out as you will not be disappointed. Jon Favreau and the entire cast did a great job in this movie!
I am glad to hear that the studio is already talking about a sequel and the big surprise extra after the credits (hi-lite for spoilers) Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury talking The Avengers Initiative just fueled and will spark more conversations for the next while which is just perfect. I think that Iron Man will hold strong against the big summer blockbusters including The Dark Knight and the newest Indy movie.

Hey don’t just take my two bits on the film, it looks like even Zen Lego Iron Man enjoyed it. Panels of Awesome also did a great review (more in-depth than mine) here:

Also big news that hit the ‘net today is that the extra special scene after the credits was written by Brian Bendis, you can read more about it here on Rich Johnston’s Lying in the Gutters on CBR:

Oh and did anyone catch that the “hot rod” that Stark was working on looked so much like Johnny Storm (the Human Torch from The Fantastic Four) old Hot Rod he had way back when in the comics? Snagged from the Marvel Directory on Human Torch / Johnny Storm (http://www.marveldirectory.com/individuals/h/humantorchii.htm):
Storm developed an interest in automobiles at an early age. Storm passed much of his leisure time in the company of automobile mechanics and enthusiasts, and learned to totally overhaul a car’s transmission before he was fifteen years old. For his sixteenth birthday, his father bought him his first “hot rod.”

I love watching The Hartley Show vids (shot here in Vancouver outta POW Comics) as they always make me smile, laugh and giggle. I am pissed though that I missed Avengers: Init this week and given my Two-Face looking left foot, I didn’t do my FCBD tour this yr so I couldn’t pick it up. I hope to maybe pick it up at Emerald Con this weekend!
Enjoy the show:
