James Cameron talks "Avatar"

With Comic-Con starting tomorrow (previews begin tonight!) I figured I should post some old info on Avatar to keep myself distracted til Thursday's panel, where JC himself will be showing clips and talking about thefilm. And of course the subsequent barrage of nerdtastic anticipation and hypotheses that will develop.

It's Monday...

& in honor of Comic-Con starting this week I figured I'd give you a taste of Dr. Horrible, a 43 minute long musical extravaganza created by the amazing Joss Whedon and starring Emmy nominee Neil Patrick Harris, about a lovelorn would-be supervillain and the video blog he records in his home . You can watch the whole brilliant thing here or read hown it all came together care of Entertainment Weekly or through wikiwhatever.

bordering on obsessive

there is no one else (in terms of actors) on my radar right now that deserves the props i'm giving this guy. sadly he doesn't have a new movie out for another 6 months so you will all have to bear with me. "The Lookout" is on again and i felt compelled to post about him and share some interviews that give you an idea of who he is (which is clearly downright adorable.)

here is an interview with him for The New York Times Magazine, upon the release of "Brideshead Revisted."

and another at Comic-Con on " Watchmen"

When I grow up I want to go to Comic-Con

...because it's probably one of the coolest experiences a nerd like me could have. so i've posted about "Watchmen" and "RockNRolla,"so imagine my "surprise" when the casts of both were at Comic-Con this past weekend. now please enjoy some "celebrity portriats" (courtesy of EW) of what i'm super excited for below.

"Watchmen" cast Jackie Earle Haley; Malin Ackerman; Jeffrey Dean Morgan;(Director) Zack Snyder; Matthew Goode; Carla Gugino; Billy Crudup; Patrick Wilson

"Watchmen"Artist Allan Gibbons & (Director) Zack Snyder

Gerard Butler & (Director) Guy Ritchie (who were there to plug Rock N Rolla)

Emily Blunt & Benicio Del Toro

i've had a crush on Benicio since "The Usual Suspects," though i've been endearingly referring to him as "Benicio the Dog Faced Boy" since he got all fat and hairy around the time "The Way of The Gun" (yeah i just mentioned THAT movie.) lo and behold he's playing "The Wolf Man."

Some guy named Hugh Jackman & One of the Gods of comics himself Mr. Stan Lee!

"Wolverine" (looking like he's about to go bezerker?)

Samuel L. Jackson isn't just in "Afro Samurai" he is a[n honorary] Samurai

"The Punisher" Ray Stevenson

you may recognize this handsome and talented man from the HBO series "Rome." well he's also the new "Punisher" & about to kick the dust of the series after Thomas Jane (who i do like) got suckered into making that POS with John Travolta.
