The Avengers - Sighting of Joss Whedon directing Chris Evans

Am I the only one who is excited to see Joss Whedon on the set of The Avengers directing Chris Evans (aka Capt America)?

I still think Jensen Ackles should've been Capt America.

Captain America -- A review from a new fan

Long time visitors of the Impala's Trunk know that I am not a comic book fan. I don't read them, I don't know how to read them. Everything I know about a comic story or a hero is through movies and TV shows.

I was really looking forward to Captain America. I didn't know too much about the story and the characters, so I actually borrowed my friend's The Avengers the animation movie and see what's the fuss is about. I got the feel about what The Avengers is like as a team and it helps me to see how everyone fits into the story.  

Captain America has always been about the journey of Steve Rogers, a physically weak young man with a pure good heart, who wanted to save lives and serve his country. Steve Rogers volunteered for a research project and was chosen as the first human test subject for the super-soldier serum developed by the scientist Dr Abraham Erskine. The serum worked. But Captain America was like a poster boy for the army, an icon for hope. Some soldiers didn't see him as a real solider, but when it was his time to shine, he shined. Captain America was lost to the world after WWII when he hurled into the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. His body was recovered from the ice 70 years later (aka present time). Now he is a member of The Avengers with Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Haweye, Hulk and Nick Fury.

The movie, Captain America did not disappoint. If you don't know the story of Steve Rogers and The Avengers, it's ok but you will miss details you don't even know they are awesome. Having watched the animation to get myself up to speed for the backstory, the first time viewing of the movie was still a bit too much. But I really really enjoyed it. The thing about this movie is that it had such great material (the story and the characters), it was packed with information and they tried to tell you everything about Steve Rogers. The downside is some scenes happened too quickly (and therefore perhaps forgettable), I had to watch it again. The movie made more sense the second time I watched it.

Contain spoilers

I guess what I am trying to say is that the pace of the story could be better and the story could be a bit more tighten. Like some scenes deserve a better explanation, if you know what I mean? Two scenes came to mind and I thought they were supposed to be significant -- the choosing of the shield and the ending.

I assume the shield of Captain America is very significant yes? So in that scene, when Howard Stark was introducing different types of shields for Steve Rogers to choose from, it was too convenient for Steve Rogers to catch the shield that was dumped on the floor and went "oh look what's that... humm.. that's the shield I am destined to wield."

The other scene that could've been explained better is the ending. Not everyone knew Captain America survived the fall and the ice, I feel that the writers kinda assumed everyone knew that or perhaps it was their intention. I don't know for sure. For the ending, I would've connected it back to the first scene of the movie, revealed the frozen shield and Captain America and leave it there. Nick Fury (aka Samuel L Jackson) could be in the teaser and the trailer after credit. It was almost too spoilery to see Steve Rogers waking up in bed, ran out to Broadway and stopped by Nick Fury where he told Rogers he had been asleep for 70 years.

Captain America was not as perfect of Thor. I was totally satisfied after Thor, there was not a single thing I would change. But with Captain America, I actually expected much more, because it was the first avenger, and there were a few scenes I could see changing. But again, I really enjoyed it. I would seriously watch it again.

Characters

I am impressed with the cast. I thought each character were well written. Chris Evans exceeded my expectation, he did a really really good job. Although I am sure Jensen Ackles would've been so much more awesome! Anyway.. I thought Chris Evans was really good at playing a pure heart innocent 'won't even kill a fly' soldier. I thought his intention was good, he never gives up even when he was tinier than me. In fact, that was one of my favorite parts of the movie, seeing Steve Rogers got bullied but he never ever gave up. There is almost nothing special about Steve Rogers, he was just a young man with a good heart. He was selfless. Steve Rogers was nothing like Tony Stark who was show-y and he was nothing like Thor who was a bad-tempted god. The team of Avengers has different personalities and egos, I guess that's why it will be so important for Steve Rogers to lead.

Other characters I like:

Surprise #1: Peggy Carter (played by Hayley Atwell). I thought her character was very well written. I really like the chemistry between her and Captain America. She was a strong female character and she looked really classy. One thing I am very impressed with female characters in comic books are their strong presence. They kick ass and they don't need a hero to rescue them, in fact, it's often the other way around. Although Peggy wasn't a superhero but her character was strong and at times, she reminded me of Smallville's Lois Lane.

Surprise #2: Dr. Abraham Erskine (played by Stanley Tucci). Stanley Tucci was fantastic at fixing people! LOL.... From The Devil Wears Prada to Captain America. He was perfect for the role. I love his mentoring role and I love the compassion he brought to the role.

Surprise #3: Col. Chester Phillips (played by Tommy Lee Jones). Who doesn't love this guy? I mean, it's probably the first and only time I declare my love for Tommy Lee Jones. I love him in this movie! Col Phillips was awesome! He was almost too cute to be a Colonial!

Surprise #4: Howard Stark (played by Dominic Cooper). I didn't expect Howard Stark (Tony Stark's father) to be heavily featured in this film. I mean, Howard Stark was quite a prominent figure in Captain America. He was a contributing engineer for the super-soldier serum project, he went to the war with them, he invented the shield and uniform for Captain America, he flew the jet to the enemy line, he was helpful, he went looking for the body of Captain America after the war... The guy was everywhere!

Easter Eggs

- Cosmic cube -- That's the glowing blue thing in Thor, right?

- Bucky -- Is he dead? He didn't die in the animation.

- Howard Stark & The Stark Expo -- I love the Stark Expo reference and Howard Stark was involved since WWII.

- This is probably nothing.. but Redskull asked Captain America: "Tell me, why are you so special?" If Jensen Ackles played Captain America, I swear he could've replied, "Because of my perky nipples."

The Avengers

So, I stuck around and watch the stuff after the trailer, it was worth it. If you haven't watched the leaked Avengers trailer, you must watch until the curtain draws.

To wrap up, I really really like Captain America, I can't wait for the DVD... And I can't wait to watch The Avengers. It is an ambitious movie and it is Joss Whedon's first major motion picture. I am just dying to see more Joss's stuff!!

Did you like Captain America? What do you think?

Random Wednesday Edition - Capt America; Harry Potter; Joss Whedon

So, I've had a very busy week.. I haven't stopped eating and drinking since Friday, not in a bad way, but it was a bit of a sibling catch up. As you can imagine, I am super tired!

I have watched Captain America, I really enjoyed it. I am planning to watch it again this weekend and then will write a review. The film is jam-packed with information, the story could have been a bit more tighten. Everything happened so fast! It's a great film and Steve Rogers has a great story, so I want to make sure I don't miss any details. Watch this space.

I am also planning to watch Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows again for good time sake. I have a very hectic August, but it will happen. Again, I will definitely write a review. I was so tired after the movie because I cried through out the movie! I cannot believe this is IT!

This year's hellatus hasn't been as painful as I expected. Getting the Capt & HP review done is pretty much the to-do list for August. And Supernatural season seven premier will be here before we know it! LOL... Did you know? Castiel has met the Ghost Facers before!? Well.. it was shot during the Ghost Facers con a few years ago.The video seems to have been taken off, but you can read about it at Hypable.

I have been watching a few Joss Whedon's old speeches. This man really inspires me!! Check this out, Joss gave a speech at Equality Now back in 2006. 

"Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity, we need it to stand on this earth as men and women – and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who’s confronted with it." -- Joss Whedon, Equality Now, 2006

And here is another one, Joss Whedon received the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award in Cultural Humanism at Harvard University's Memorial Church on10 April 2009.

"The enemy of humanism is not faith. The enemy of humanism is hate, is fear, is ignorance, is the darker part of man that is in every humanist, every person in the world. That is what we have to fight. Faith is something we have to embrace. Faith in god means believing absolutely in something with no proof whatsoever. Faith in humanity means believing absolutely in something with a huge amount of proof to the contrary. We are the true believers." -- Joss Whedon, Harvard University's Memorial Church, April 2009

And I'll leave you with one more of my favorite quotes: "People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours."

Live your dream!

Let the World's Biggest Nerd-Fest Begin

The world is never ready for a nerd's raw magnetism. The time has come again for nerds to gather and play. There is nothing more sad than not being able to attend. I am a new SDCC follower, I have only been following them for 3 years top, mainly due to Supernatural, Smallville etc.

Scream for us, boys and girls. We are going to bring the roof of Hall H down!

 
Last year, around 6,000 fans packed Hall H for Smallville and The Avengers. This year is Supernatural's turn. Today, a full SPN panel line up is revealed -- Jensen Ackles and Jarad Padalecki, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Mark Sheppard with Sera Gamble (Executive Producer/ Showrunner) and Ben Edlund (Consulting Producer... interesting title) Source: Gather

It's like LACon all over again, except it's bigger and it's an official engagement! :)

I was talking to a friend on Twitter about the line up. Having Misha on the panel means Castiel is still an integral character to the show (I've never doubt that!). But 'upgrading' Mark to the SDCC panel could mean that Crowley is more than just a guest star punk-ass crossroad demon -- being on the SDCC panel reflects the importance of Crowley on the show. How? I don't know. I guess we'll know on Sunday.

And, it's weird that Eric Kripke is not part of the line up *pouty face*. Kripke is only going to be a Producer in season seven. I have no doubt Kripke is still acting like a consultant, Sera and Ben can always call him. Kripke is also working on his feature movie Haunted, which I am giving my 666% support! With Ben Edlund's new job title as the Consulting Producer, I think Sera will explain everything we need to know on Sunday.

In other news, Captain America will have a screening at SDCC on Thursday 21 July. Chris Evans will be there to introduce the film. It's been reported that The Avengers cast will be at the Marvel Booth at SDCC including Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Robert Downey, Jr., (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner / The Hulk). Source: SF Chronicle

Speaking of Captain America, the premier happened last night in LA. Wow.. Chris Evans sure looks smart! RDJ and Hemsworth were also at the red carpet. Read the full report and more photos at Daily Mail.

You know I can't help it! I still think Jensen Ackles could've been Captain America, walking the red carpet *another pouty face*

One more thing, Zachary Levi (Chuck) has invited Jarpad to be on some sort of panel after the SPN panel on Sunday. I don't have much info and apparently all tickets have been sold out. Sources said Zachary is setting up a private conversation with stars from Firefly (I believe Adam, Alan and Jewel will be there!), Battlestar Gallatica, Stoopid Monkey and friends of Zac Levi (including Jarpad). I also think (don't quote me) Zachary Quinto and Scott Bakula will also be there. Not sure if there will be some sort of highlight reel or whatever, but follow Zac and his Nerd Machine for real-time details. You can also check out the Nerd Machine website for details.

Want more SDCC goodies? Here is a good summary on the 'top five can't miss events' at this year's SDCC. Zac's panel mentioned.

PS.. I have watched Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows. I will definitely watch it again and I will blog about it soon. I have quite a busy schedule in the next few weeks, but I'll sort my shit out and get those back-lot blog posts up.

Happy Wednesday everyone! :)

Captain America! First full trailer

I am excited. I know Jensen couldn't be Captain America, I'll just suck it up and deal with it.. I am dealing with it.. Though, Chris Evens looks great as the Cap. Captain America: First Avenger opens 29 July.

Captain America! Superbowl trailer and new poster

This is something I have been waiting for since the casting of Captain America, thanks to Jensen, who didn't get cast obviously. I stayed up for a few nights to catch the casting development, I so wanted him to get the role. But I understand! I still prefer Jensen over Chris Evens. But it's still better than anyone from Gossip Girl and The Office. Chris Evens is growing on me. Have you seen him in Scott Pilgrim? LOL!

Here is the trailer from Superbowl and also a new poster.

PS* I am NOT liking any casting news regarding the new Superman. This movie is dead on arrival!

Comic Con 2010 - Best of Day 3 (OH MY!)

Between Inception, zombies dream, Xmas in July and just because it's Sunday here, I hope I am not dreaming. Comic Con this year just gets bigger with guests, news and major announcement.

Call me whatever, but I actually wasn't expecting Chris Evans to be on-site at this year's ComicCon. I was half-expecting a satellite interview or something. G4TV did an on-site interview with Captain America's director Joe Johnson, Chris Evans and Hugo Weaving.


Screen Rent has posted a summary of the Captain America panel. The Chris Evans Blog has posted some amazing photos from Chris' appearance at Comic Con. Go check it out!


I am sure I'll watch Thor because I want to see Natalie Portman, who confirmed that she won't appear in The Avengers. USAToday has a report on the panel.

Onto The Avengers. Some big announcements were made about the casting of Hawkeye and Hulk. Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner. Someone was saying Ruffalo's mum was in the VIP line to the panel or something.. That confirmed it alright! Seriously, this is official.

The Avengers teaser site is now live!

There's more! Here comes the main course for me! Did anyone actually expect to see the cast of The Avengers on stage at Comic Con this year? I certainly wasn't!! Kevin Feige, Marvel's President showed the fans an Avengers video of the logo narrated by Nick Fury (aka Samuel L Jackon). And then Samuel L Jackson were on stage introducing the cast of The Avengers to stage - Agent Coulson, followed by Scarlett Johansson, then Chris Hemsworth, then Chris Evans then Robert Downey jr.! oh my!

When Joss was on stage, he said, "I have had a dream all my life and it was not this good. This cast is more than I could have ever hoped for. And I am going to blow it. So I need your love; I need your support." The crowd went nuts!

[Update: I found a better HD quality video] This is nuts! Samuel L Jackson introducing the cast from the beginning. Followed by RDJ introducing new cast members.


Seriously, who could handle a big cast and handle their relationships and the story well, and who's loved by fans for years? Joss Whedon is certainly the man!

Read it all at io9. USAToday also has a great summary including Thor, Captain America and The Avengers. If you want the minute by minute report, definitely check out the MTV Splash Page!!

Now that it's official, director of The Avengers, Joss Whedon is comfortably talking about it. io9 has an awesome video interview with Joss.


The question is: Where is hell is DC? Marvel certainly went all out with the Avengers!

OK so, don't forget!!! Sunday 25 July, the Super-Best-One-Two-Punch on TV, Smallville and Supernatural will have their panel on stage. Geoff Johns will moderate Smallville, Brian Truitt will moderate the Supernatural panel.

Superhero blog; Captain America it is!

Once I got over the fact Jensen Ackles is not Captain America, I am slowing warming up to Chris Evans. I've seen him in Crapastic Four, Street King, The Nanny Diaries and that movie about the cell phone. I haven't seen the Losers nor have I the desire to, but I may watch even Scott Pilgrim vs the World. He is good, but I guess this is his moment. Before Batman, Bale wasn't a household name. So this is it for Evans!

Jensen started it! So I am going to finish it! I will be blogging about Captain America and the Avengers. How much do I know about them? ZERO! I don't know absolutely nothing about them!! So this will be my journey of discovery. It'd better be good!

The first thing I notice when it comes to Captain America is the costume. It's iconic, just like most superhero costume i.e Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, the list is endless. When I first saw the Captain America outfit, I was like, how are they going to make this look cool and modern even though the story took place in WWII? When I saw the concept arts, I was impressed. Chris Evens talked about his costume with Empire.

The second thing I notice is the story. Every superhero has a story. Christophe Nolan's Batman movies took a different direction from the Tim Burton's, they were more character driven, which I like. What turned them into who they are? I've never been a Superman fan, I can't explain it. But when I started watching Smallville, I started to appreciate the life of Clark Kent and realised what makes Superman is Clark Kent. I really like the first Spiderman movie (Tobey as Spiderman/ Peter Parker), I like Peter Parker because he is not rich like Bruce Wayne, and he delivered pizza and made his own costume. So I wonder what is the story of Steve Rogers? He was a soldier, human, with no superpower. With an experimental serum, he turned gi-normal and went to war. Am I close?

The last thing I want to mention about Captain America is his shield. Surprisingly I got excited when the shield appeared in Iron Man II. I knew that Easter Egg!! Yay me! I added that shield on my Twitter homepage for Jensen. For some reason, I really like the symbol. Has anyone got the latest SFX? It has an amazing cover!

I can't say I have the same desire for Thor. I saw Natalie Portman's interview last week with our Aussie guy. I guess I'll watch it for Natalie, I've loved her since Leon, Star Wars and Garden State. So why not this one! She is one my favorite female actresses next to Scarlett Johannson and Kate Winslet.





Speaking of Scarlett, OMG! I love her as the Black Widow! I would love to watch a Black Widow spin-off! She and Chris Evans were in The Nanny Diaries together, where Evans was Harvard Hottie and she was Annie and Nanny. It was a cute film. Natalie Portman and Scarlett were in The Other Boleyn Girl together. I don't know if their characters will cross-path in the Marvel universe.

Speaking of The Other Boleyn Girl and Spiderman, I just wanted to say, Jim Sturgess, who also played the lead in Across the Universe, should be the new Spiderman.

Before I go, more news about the Smallville panel at this month's ComicCon have surfaced! OMG! Geoff Johns will be moderating the Smallville panel, with special appearance by Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Cassidy Freeman and Justin Hartley. Interesting to see Cassidy there, I wonder what will happen to Tess in season 10. Details here.

Enough superhero talk tonight! I am going to watch the Glee season finale now.

Saturday Edition - Scan Baby Scan; Spain Con; Chris Evans

This week's edition of Scan Baby Scan features the Ghostfacers, Misha Collins and Chris Evans.

Empire (Aussie edition) has a delay on publishing this interview with Chris Evans. This was featured in the previous international edition.


I saw Captain America at Borders last week.

Jensen started it! Although he isn't Captain America, I am too deep into the rabbit hole to not blog about it. So, it's official, I will be blogging about Captain America etc in moderation.

The Spain SPN Con is on this weekend. Go to SuperWiki for a list of reports, videos and photos. According to some of the tweets, J2 are heading back to Vancouver for shooting in 2 weeks. Jensen has confirmed he is directing. According to the tweets, he will make his directorial debut in episode 3. Note: episode order may change... as you know the CW does has a habit of switching episode order.. but you'll know when it's confirmed.

Follow tweets on Twitter by searching #risingcon.

Thursday News Digest

In this edition, we have some pretty juicy stuff for you. Check it out!

If you don't know already, Jensen Ackles will direct the 4th episode of Supernatural in the new season. More details to come.

The CW is doing their first ever Emmy Awards campaign this year. The CW has designed the OMFG FYC campaign.

The program or insert whatever you want to call it, will be inserted into the latest Emmy Magazine, it also contains a DVD with key episodes for nomination consideration. I think the DVD showreel includes Changing Channels and The End. I want the CW to push Jensen for the Best Actor category with The End. Seriously!

Read more on Vlada's blog, DVR Playground and Deadline Hollywood.

The WinchesterBrothers has posted something I am truly excited about! A possible Supernatural animation series. You must check out the Japanese WB site!!!!

The Human Torch is Captain America

Jensen Ackles was the only reason I Googled about Captain America. Jensen Ackles was the only reason I would pay to watch that movie. Just saying it...

Like most people, I am sick of hearing rumors when names like Chace Crawford and Jim Krasinski kept popping up. If any of the earlier casting rumors were true (how ironic!), then I was truly disappointed with the audition line-up. Gossip Boy and Jimbo may be good at what they do in Gossip Girl and The Office, but seriously, a hero who could stand next to Iron Man and other Marvel characters? NO FUDGING WAY! I'd be happier to see someone's goldfish or my mum to be Captain America.

Before I go on, let me just say that I HATE it when actors told the press about going for audition before the audition and then updated the press they did the audition but kinda didn't want to talk more coz they didn't want to jinx it. And then they didn't get the role anyway. This first rule about Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club. The second rule about Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club! Four words of wisdom for you! SHUT THE FUDGE UP!

Anyway, so.... Then came rumors about Chris Pine, Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum and Chris Evans.. Blah blah blah.. Ok here is the thing.. When I saw the news about Chris Evans was in the running. I said to myself and also on Twitter that: It's not ideal, but it's a choice I can live with and I'll watch this movie. He looks good as the Cap!

And then this morning the internet exploded with news about Chris Evans is confirmed as Captain America. I was like.. OK.. SO how reliable is this? It's not official, until Marvel says so!

But this, this is pretty official..! Unless Jon Favreau is as confused as the fans.

Here is Jon Favreau's Tweet:


I've seen a few movies Chris Evans was in. Fantastic Four, The Nanny Diary and Street King. He was in well-known movies, but with Captain America, his stardom could gone off the roof, just like Christian Bale (who I've loved since he was in Empire of the Son) or Chris Pine. This is IT for Chris Evans. I support this decision. And I look forward to watching Captain America.

But having said that, I still hope Jensen Ackles was the Captain. OH GOD YES! I hope better roles will come to Jensen.

Oh..and can I say, Ryan Reynolds looks crap as anything. Like Green Lantern and everything else he is in. Just saying. He always has the same expression on his face. It's the morning after. Let this be the first and last time I mention his name. The end!

Captain America - Team Jensen Ackles

I don't know who did this, but you are awesome!

I totally don't want to do this, but I just want to get something out of my mind.

Whoever they cast to play Captain American, he will also be in future films with Ironman, Hulk and others. We are talking about an actor who can nail the role as Captain America, a hero and a leader, and someone who has to look right when he stands next to Robert Downey Jr and Ed Norton and Samuel L Jackson etc.. These are heavy-weight actors! That's why I can't stand behind the actors who were named today. Read more here.

I am really hoping Jensen Ackles will get the role. I know I know! Shut up! But seriously, out of the list of actors mentioned today, can you actually see The Office Jim and the Gosspi Girl dude playing a LEADER? A HERO? Can their acting ability level with high calibre of actors who have already signed up? You can be unknown or a TV actor but at the end of the day, your acting will do the talking! Can any of these actors do it? I don't see it! Jensen is the only actor on this list who could do it!

With Jensen, I know there is a scheduling issue because he is also filming Supernatural, but I am sure if he is the one, they can work something out. I am bias. Shameless! But Jensen has the look and his acting ability is awesome! And it's rare for an actor in his generation. Jensen is an awesome actor who has the voice, leadership quality and the mannerism to play the Cap!

Season 3 of Supernatural was aired early October a few years go, so potentially, Jensen could still film Captain America in June to August. Then he can fly back to Vancouver to shoot Supernatural season 6. I think they usually film at least 3-4 (or less) episodes in advanced, so I don't see why they can't work out the schedule.

At the end of the day, it's about getting it right. If they can't get the right guy to play the Cap, they are stuck with him for the next 9 films! We don't want to get to the point where they have to change cast or whatever. They need someone who could stand side by side with Robert Downey Jr and Ed Norton and Samuel L Jackson.

Update: You should read this too. All are rumors until it's officially announced. May be Marvel is auditioning actors for other parts in the movie. Who knows?!
