Well, That Happened I finally took the plunge and ordered Hot Toy’s Black Widow figure. I got ahold of Captain America in February, and then Black Widow was delayed because they were having issues getting her hair perfect before shipping the final product. Thor is already starting to hit, Loki is out any day, and June will see the release of Iron Man and Agent Coulson. Hot Toys is going to take all my disposable income this year.

RIP Gabe.

Being a zombie for Starburst pays better then Dunder Mifflin HR.

So very true.

What about Boom Mic Brian? I bet the writers of ‘The Office’ were kicking themselves for even introducing Boom-Mic-Brian to the mix. There was a building unhappiness  between Jim & Pam that was magically wrapped up in the series finale. The reveal that the Boom Mic Operator, Brian had been around since season one, and was in love with Pam was one of the biggest reveals ‘The Office’ ever delivered to it’s viewers. It was an interesting plot device that didn’t go end up going anywhere. Brian was last seen separated from his wife, jobless and a mess. My guess is that the writers mights have thought it was too much for the audience to grasp that Brian swooping-in out of no-where to be Pam’s Knight-In-Shinning-Armor, and that he had been there, unseen for nine seasons took a leap-of-faith to accept. This unseen force coming in to destabilize the Jim & Pam relationship when it was in crisis was a plot device some loved and some hated (I personally loved). This was a very substantial plot that got dropped quickly. It almost seemed like the writers were too afraid tackle the idea that Jim and Pam might not actually be a great fit for each other. Jim had been nothing but a selfish asshole for the majority of the last season and made up for it with an iMovie DVD project he put together at the last minute. Yeah, it’s a nice gesture but it was just a trip down memory lane where you only show the good things and not the bad. There was a genuine undercurrent that Jim & Pam were not happy with each other that was lightly explored multiple times in the last couple of seasons, and when it was those were the best Jim & Pam moments since they got married. They had settled into routines that didn’t make them happy. I’m not saying that Brian is the magical answer to Pam’s happiness or that another woman would make Jim’s life magical again. There is something about the routine of marriage that needed to be explored, and that it takes work to keep things interesting and fun. Those more realistic, even darker undertones were dropped in favor of a clean-cut happy ending  the two characters that didn’t feel earned, but felt necessary for the audience’s satisfaction.

It’s weird to say that I’m anticipating the new Katie Aselton/Mark Duplass joint dropping today more then I am ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’.

Rumor: Hawkeye Is Not Part Of Marvel Studios' Phase 2 & Jeremy Renner Could Be Recast

Sounds like Jeremy Renner’s recent negative comments could have gotten him booted from any future Marvel projects. So don’t be surprised if Jeremy Renner goes the route of Terence Howard and is recast.

Marvel went to such trouble to make Hawkeye a mainstream character in preparation for the movie. Even making is comic costume match his movie costume. I cant imagine them completely ditching the character but Marvel does have a history of recasting mouthy actors instantly. Hawkeye wasn’t the deepest character in ‘The Avenger’s but a serious actor like Jeremy Renner really sign-on to a franchise like ‘The Avengers’ thinking that it was some deep piece of fiction and not a popcorn movie?

I really enjoyed Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye even if the film version is more militaristic then the comic version. It’s a creative decision that worked. Most of the big ‘Avengers’ actors will get new contracts for the sequel any with there being contract disputes since ‘Avengers’ made serious bank last summer. Not being onboard for a franchise that prints money seems like a bad financial decision as an actor, especially someone like Jeremy Renner who was very obscure until a few years ago.  If Renner’s negative comments did ruffle some feathers I really wouldn’t be surprised to see someone like Josh Holloway stepping in to fill the role of Hawkeye. Jeremy Renner should really be asking himself “Where is Terence Howard now?”

Fun fact: Having worked all through high school and college as a projectionist I acquired a sizable collection of 35mm trailers. Back when theaters used 35mm film before the digital conversion. #vscocam #movies #film #trailers

Confirmed: Jimmy Olsen Is Now Jenny Olsen In some new promotional materials for Wal-Mart’s early screening of ‘Man of Steel’ campaign, a new still has confirmed the earlier rumored gender-swapping of Jimmy Olsen for Jenny Olsen. I don’t have a problem with the gender swapping of Jimmy Olsen for  Jenny Olsen (Rebecca Buller). If anything it does make it a little bit more complicated for Lois if Clark Kent’s best pal at the Daily Planet is a very cute photographer. I would bet it’s a licensing or Rights problem (much like the rumored major change to Superman’s origin that might appear in ‘Man of Steel). I do wonder what other changes or updates DC has done to the classic Superman mythos in ‘Man of Steel’?
