Jumping in Headfirst

Well....THIS was nice to wake up to... That "If we can't protect the Earth" line feels like it's on the serious side of an incoming joke, but other than that? I like.

Harry Potter 7 part 2 (or HP8) broke the previous record set by The Dark Knight. I'm kinda hoping that the finale to the better Batman trilogy comes back and out does HP. I'm predicting Batman and Bruce (both lives) being pushed to their absolute limit in this film. The question being, how ballsy is Christopher Nolan. Will this movie end with Batman dying? Or will he quit? Or will he forever be the city's Dark Knight Detective?

So the bootlegged trailer of Amazing Spider-Man has hit the web. Feels like a different movie from these two minutes alone. People are saying it's like Batman, but I don't get that. Not yet at least. A big theme behind a Batman film is that he's dealing with common criminals, besides the Joker and Ra's. Even when he's against rogues, he's still facing people that are robbing banks, starting gangs. Spider-Man's villains have different mindsets. They want to take over the world. They have genuine delusions of grandeur in some form or another. I'm guessing the Lizard won't be all that different either. But I like what I see right now. They're involving Peter's parents into his origins, which in the main universe you almost never hear about. Also love seeing the web shooters, and that they went out of their way to show us. Didn't care for the first person view of the city, as it seemed kinda fake, but I imagine in HD I'd be muc...

I haven't seen much about this movie since the Super Bowl commercial, but here's the full trailer, promoting the film adaptation of the origin of Captain America. I think they put a little too much sauce on the transformation process (...It was, like, a shot.) but I'm not really judging it on accuracy to the comics. This movie's it's own thing. I love the fact that it's a period piece, but they're not holding anything back in regards to costumes and villains. I'm going to guess that this film will capture most people's attentions, since it's a more "grounded" movie than every superhero flick out there that's not Batman. (I could speculate as to why that is, but it would only sound like an insult.) Love the little nods to Iron Man films, and I'm excited to see how this and Thor grow the universe Marvel's attempting to create. So, what about everyone else? Who's going to see this opening weekend? (It's July 22nd...
