Joystiq.com posted a youtube video that is just long, painful and something that at some point hits too close to home. I had to fast forward through it because it made me far too uncomfortable and on the verge of tears. I cannot stress how depressing the video is and how much sorrow it makes me feel, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
Gladly changing gears, it looks as if Joss Whedon is back up and working on another show that is going to be cancelled before anyone gets to watch it. I would figure after the track record that Fox network has established would make even the most desperate of creative run screaming for the hills.
Speaking of running for the hills. I am a huge fan of honesty from casting directors.
No seriously, go get hit with the ugly stick a few times. Maybe marry a cousin or two, then we'll talk.
To follow up an article about ugly, let's talk about sexy. I'm not a huge fan of Devil May Cry. I think it's a very entertaining series to play once or twice and then put down when you get sick of doing the same thing over and over again. If they were to have Vikki Blows as the main character, I think I'd be more inclined to play. Not that I'm being chauvenist or anything. It's not that there'd be a beautiful, half naked woman as the main character... entirely. It's that DMC gets so damn boring I need some kind of incentive to keep playing.
Speaking of keeping our interest, but correct me if I'm wrong. Six Flags Great America already has one of These. I believe it's called "Batman the ride". Sure it's a different ride and a different idea, but seriously, two Batman themed rides?
Abruptly interupting myself:
If only more celebrities had the instability of Gary Busey.
You tell that little girl Gary. "Speak up!"
I debated on putting a moratorium of New Line Cinema in this time around, but decided against because quite frankly, who cares.
However, moving onto things that I really, really care about. I don't think you understand just how much I want Comic Book movies to succeed and defeats like The Fantastic Four and Spiderman 3 just can no longer be afforded. Another one that had me extremely worried has, in recent months, gotten me excited.
Although, I'm not sure I can condone making the Mandarin come from the Middle East. I mean, it'd just become a misnomer, nevermind the fact that they'd have to find a new myth for him to come from. But at least we have Marks I, II, III, Hulkbuster and War Machine.
Continuing on that thread of thought, the new Wolverine Origins project is quickly becoming cluttered with casting deliciousness.
Let's go down the list of [semi] confirmed casting decisions.
With thanks to Comicbookmovie.com for the first two pics which are the most exciting casting choices for me.
I don't know much about Taylor Kitsch because I don't waste my time on shows like Friday Night Lights. However, he certainly looks the part.
Ryan Reynolds is just the natural choice for this role. After all Deadpool has been spotted on more than one occasion comparing himself to the former Two Guys and a Girl.
Other casting decisions include:
Leiv Schreiber = Sabertooth/Victor Creed
This is perfect for attitude, but I'm just wondering how much Leiv can bulk up for the monster.
Dominic Monaghan = Beak/Barnell Bohusk
Excellent, however, not much can really be said for the character. He wasn't particularly important to anyone, especially not Wolverine. Maybe Juggernaut, but not Logan.
Lynn Collins = Silver Fox
If you'll excuse me I just want to put this up.
Model Daniel Henney is to play Agent Zero, being as he doesn't have a lot of English acting experience it might pose a problem, but then again, Agent Zero isn't one of the most verbose of the Weapon X projects.
Finally, the most recent casting decision was to have Kevin Durand be Blob.
Somewhere, a graphic designer is getting fired.
That's really all I have to say now. I leave you with the most exciting thing I came across in the past week or so.
There are no words to describe my excitment.
