New Trailers for Things We Love!

This is going to be a week of movie trailers, and the world kicks things off with new, exciting trailers for Amazing Spider-Man 2Game of Thrones and Godzilla! Seriously, these are three pretty wicked trailers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

First up, the last trailer for Amazing Spider-Man 2, with a bigger focus on the Green Goblin and Rhino.

With each new trailer, this movie just looks better and better.

Now a quick trailer for season 4 of Game of Thrones with some new footage, a new song and a whole bunch of excitement!

Then we have the international trailer for Godzilla, with again, some new footage and a whole bunch of excitement. I’m not so sure about the song in this one though. Can we get someone in maintenance to take a look at it?

So which are you guys and gals more excited for? New Spider-Man, new Game of Thrones or new Godzilla? I’m torn.

First Looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron!

Last night, ABC aired a special on upcoming Marvel movies, but I didn’t actually watch it because I had better things to do – namely finally catching up on that short-lived Green Lantern Animated Series. But the Internet is awash in all of the big news items revealed in that special, including the first looks at Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch from Avengers: Age of Ultron!

Otherwise known as Avengers 2: Superhero Boogaloo

I’ll save the pictures until after the jump in case you don’t want to get SPOILED. I think they look OK. I think they definitely look better than what FOX has planned for them in X-Men: Days of Future Past. So join me after the jump to check out the concept art for Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!

The Top 6 Fatty Fat Fat Comic Book Characters

Not all superheroes are hunky, athletic, Chris Hemsworth-types, you know. Some of them actually reflect the average American body type, which is the nice way of saying that there are fat superheroes out there. They may not get any shirtless scenes in the movies, but they are just as heroic (or villainous) as the Captain Americas or the Jokers of the world. Just because they’re packing on the poundage does not make them any less cool – or maybe that’s just what I keep telling myself while I’m eating a tube of raw cookie dough and watching Fat Albert reruns.

Not the weirdest thing to ever happen to Superman

It’s true, Internet. Your favorite comic book geek/Internet blogger is on the chunky side. But rather than be ashamed of it, today we’re going to celebrate it! Here are the 6 best overweight characters in comics. And when I finally start that diet, maybe I’ll do a list of the 6 best svelte characters in comics.

Why Did No One Tell Me They Were Making a Charlie Brown Movie?

I think it looks kind of adorable, quite frankly. It looks like a fun, stylized, modernly animated take on Charlie Brown and Snoopy. And that music is the music of life. Here’s hoping that whoever is behind this movie makes it a good one. I long ago gave up all hope that any classic cartoon or comic was sacred, and that Hollywood would actually try to preserve something. So I’m cool with the Peanuts being turned into a film. Why not? No point in fighting the inevitable. But man, this is Charlie Brown! Don’t we all owe a little part of our souls to Charlie Brown?

I hope my favorite Peanuts character, 5, is in the movie

Superman with a GoPro Rocks the Internet

I’m not one to shy away from Internet phenomenons, so check out this video of what it might be like if Superman wore a GoPro camera!

What the heck though?! Superman didn’t even go back to put out that fire! Still, awesome little video for this awesome day of Internetting. Go work, you fine folks at Corridor Digital.
