So studios have now decided to pretty much show us every plot point, entirely too much dialogue, and everything in between for the most part. We saw it with The Avenger, Prometheus is continuing to whore itself out, and now The Amazing Spiderman has jumped on board with this 4 MIN CLIP! I would be perfectly fine with two total trailers. But hey they’re making it easy to post content! Enjoy I guess.
Yea it was pretty exciting news until I saw it was going to be made by the CW…so therefore it was a TV show…and then I read the synopsis…and then I vomited in my mouth a little. So besides starting my morning off having to rid my taste buds of this mornings semi-digested potatoes and coffee (must be a daily taste for the Irish) I must say this is going to be almost as fun as watching The Cape implode. Here’s the synopsis which I highly recommend to all those with bulimia who just ate.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.
Check out a few of these posters created by Matthew Saxon. Pretty big fan of most of these. I will say though if the name of the character is actually included on the bottom I wouldn’t want them. I mean if you’re getting one of these posters I would have to believe a name tag wouldn’t be necessary. Oh well though, very cool none the less. Via Comicbookmovie.com

Phoenix Jones (a ‘superhero’ in Seattle) now has a villain named Rex Velvet and he’s much cooler than Jones in every shape and form. Monocle, awesome mustache (would be much better if real), bowler hat, and charisma. Oh and the production value. This guy clearly knows how to work a crowd. Yep got to say I’m jumping on Rex Velvet’s side. I hope there’s actually a showdown at some point.
Update:
This new Rex Velvet video has just come out and, as Topless Robot has pointed out, now has a mustache ring that needs to be sold everywhere. Also is driving around a DeLorean calling out Phoenix Jones. This guy just rocks.
Then just watch this trailer for Expendables 2. Yes we knew it was coming out. Yes we knew Arnold, Chuck, and Van Damme were added. It doesn’t mean it still should have been made though. Yet I’m still drawn to this film because my testosterone levels are through the roof at the moment. GET SOME!!! Yep just hopped up on a chair and screamed that at a child and mom walking by my window. I think I’m level now. Enjoy.
Was forced to watch this trailer in 3D last night before The Avengers and I couldn’t tell what the hell was going on. So I continued to watch it today and low and behold it’s actually a pretty good trailer. Give it a looksy.
