-Iron Man is the first movie of 2008 to make it to $300M domestically. So, no matter how huge the take for the first weekend of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...well, SUCK IT STUPID MOVIE. (Sorry, this is directed at my dad, who liked the latter and said the former was "stupid." And who...doesn't read my LJ. MY RAGE! IT IS MISDIRECTED!)

-Is it a poster for the live action G.I. Joe movie or the movie version of Mass Effect? Duke or Commander Shepard? I swear that the scar on "Duke's" face is one you can select in the damn game. (The facial hair definitely is.) I don't love the old character design, or anything, but sheesh. Who is this guy?

-Pixar is awesome, and Wall-E is going to be awesome, and shut it anyone who says otherwise. I wish I had any talent in the areas in which Pixar excels. Then I could work there.

-Spider-Man 4 release date!?!! Right on top of the proposed Avengers movie and the second of two movie installments of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Most notable is the fact that although absolutely no one has been hired to do anything for the movie, Sony has decided the release date. I smell success, don't you?

Wait. Maggie Gyllenhaal is playing the Katie Holmes role in the new Batman movie? I did not realize that. I assumed she was the new girl of the week, since none of the Batman films have ever kept the same woman around.

In this case, they created this character out of nowhere to give insight into younger Bruce Wayne and she was useful, so she's been kept. Katie Holmes declined to come back, they didn't want to just throw the childhood friend character away after they went through the trouble of fitting her into the universe, so they hired someone else to play her. And we all wish they'd hired her from the beginning because Maggie Gyllenhaal is about thirty billion times better an actress than Katie Holmes.
