Bullshit. There was photographic proof. Unless Hogan is a jew?

Finally saw this today, Robin Sparkles is pretty hot. Too bad they killed off the guy from Old Christine but at least Robin was a suitable replacement.

Don't worry, Joss will kill her off in the next one.

I felt that you could come into the movie with no prior knowledge of the heroes and have a general idea of what's going on and who they are. Their personalities were very clearly represented. They definitely took advantage of not having to be mired down by telling everyone's origins, since they had done so in the previous films, and I found that to be an advantage rather then a detriment. Whoever wrote that review was totally an ahole.

Here it is.

This is my favorite part:

It’s telling that one of the biggest laugh lines in the film — and one of the highlights I keep hearing people mention — is when the Hulk gets his arms on Loki and whips him back and forth into the concrete like a rag doll. It’s funny and unexpected, a character-related surprise that is complimented by a surreal visual. More than that, it’s something physical and tangible — a tactile refuge from the endless sea of CGI bad guys that flood the screen. It was moments like this that let a little bit of soul back into the computer software.

So the "tactile refuge from the endless sea of CGI" is a scente totally dependent on a CGI character? Awesome.

Sept 25th is the BluRay/DVD combo release.

It also includes the scenes that would have made the movie 3 hours long. An alternative ending and opening, commentary, and various other extras.

Some of you might remember that a few weeks back, one interview with Joss Whedongave up some details on his first cut of The Avengers, mentioning the amount that was trimmed from the film, with promises for an eventual DVD release. His first rough cut ran almost three hours — and don’t get delusions of some ideal director’s cut here, as it was likely never intended to be screened at that length — with a good half hour trimmed before the film was pounded into final shape.Now, as the film breaks and re-sets more box office records, Disney is keeping The Avengers afloat and already talking about the DVD/Blu-ray release. The discs will hit on September 25, and for the Blu-ray release there will be a solid suite of extras on board.Those are the various edition covers, above. DVD buyers get only a commentary from Whedon as a real special feature. But the Blu has quite a lot, including bookending alternate opening and ending scenes featuring Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill.Here’s the feature list, via JoBlo:

And for those who are just now getting on the Marvel train and don’t yet have disc copies of the other films, there’s rumor of a ten-disc set featuring The Avengers along with Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, and Captain America: The First Avenger. Given the fact of different distributors for the theatrical versions of those films (Paramount, Disney, and Universal) don’t take that too seriously just yet.

And Iron Patriot is caught on the IM3 set ...

Let the rumours begin.

http://screenrant.com/iron-man-3-vil...t-kofi-175599/

I literally just finished writing a story detailing all the recent villain rumors for Iron Man 3, and another big rumor has dropped. While we are still waiting to see if Ben Kingsley is in fact playing iconic Iron Man villain The Mandarin (and all the debate that has already created), we now get word that Iron Man’s star-spangled counterpart, The Iron Patriot, will also be part of Iron Man 3.

If you hear the name “Iron Patriot” and find yourself scratching your head in confusion, simply scroll down to get details on who the character is.

Now… if you haven’t read our breakdown of which movie studios own which Marvel characters, here’s the short version: Everything related to Spider-Man is owned by Sony, while everything related to Iron Man is owned by Disney/Marvel Studios. This means there will be NO Spider-Man-related elements in any Marvel movies, unless some new deal is worked out between both studios. I say that to say: The Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3 CANNOT (legally) be Norman Osborn, and Spider-Man is NOT being brought into the Avengers movie universe – no matter how hard some fans wish otherwise.

Coming Soon broke this Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3 story, but has no explanation as to how the character fits into the plot, or who will be wearing the armor. Since Iron Patriot debuted in an Avengers comic book, the character can be used in IM3- but again, the origin and details will have to be drastically changed.

UPDATE: It is reportedly actor James Badge Dale (Rubicon) - previously thought to be playing obscure cybernetic villain “Coldblood-7″ in the Iron Patriot armor – and here are the set photos to prove it (by way of Superficial):

Now, before we all geekgasm too much: Dale (if that’s indeed him) could indeed be wearing the Iron Patriot armor for PART of the movie, while still becoming the Extremis-infected cyborg villain we’ve heard tell about. Without knowing where the set photos above fit into the film, we could be very well looking at a little Easter egg nod – much in the same vein as Captain America’s classic costume beingfactored into The First Avenger as a gag. We’ll have to wait and see just how seriously (or not) Iron Patriot is meant to be taken.
Iron Man 3 hits theaters on May 3, 2013.
