I've seen shit you people wouldn't believe. Cop cars on fire off the shoulder of I-94. I watched search lights glitter in the dark near the Ambassador Bridge. All those moments will be lost in time, like piss in the drain. Time to retch.

Any theories about the Japanese pop group they saw filming winter soldier in DC? Just remembered that video the other day.

The group was WORLD ORDER. I think they were filming the video for this song and were just filming in DC the same time as Winter Soldier.

No that would be Bendis. The guy who started it with Ultimate Spider-man and is still writing it. Millar did hint that Wanda and Pietro banged, but Loeb had it confirmed.

Ha ha woops, I guess maybe the song is about Australia then?

Then I vote for something by the Verlaines, but only to appease my roommate who is oddly enough a huge fan of them and Bucky Barnes.

Edit: gently caress, I always wondered why they had bag pipes(a guitar that sounds like bag pipes?) in that song.

The guitarist used an e-bow for that effect, something that feels like it should come from the future. The 80s future.

Surely the Aussiest song is Men At Work's "Land Down Under", right?

See, Millar was actually kind of subtle about it compared with Loeb.


Seriously, if you're a writer that's less subtle than Mark 'AND THIS IS ME loving YOU IN THE rear end' Millar you got problems son.

Also there'll be new trailer for Amazing Spider-Man 2 at the Super Bowl and it looks pretty drat good.

WB has announced who will be playing Lex luthor and alfred in the new superman/batman/wonderwoman movie.

http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/jesse-eisenberg-jeremy-irons-superman-batman-movie-warner-bros/

odd choices, but that seems to be par for the course.

Warner Bros. Pictures has cast Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Superman/Batman film.


Interesting casting Jesse Eisenberg...But Irons seems like a pretty good pick.

I actually wouldn't be shocked if they're explicitly going for a Zuckerberg-esque feel with this movie's Lex, hence Eisenberg.

I have no problem with either of that casting. Well except that Irons is a crazy person but other than that.

Eisenberg makes sense given recent popular Lexes.

He fits as youngish Smallville-esque Lex, obviously, but I can also see him as, say, Birthright Lex.

Someone must have told the casting director that everyone kept saying Heisenberg should play Luthor and he misheard?

Although, the way Eisenberg acted as a petulant dick who knows how smart he is and resents other people for not recognizing it in The Social Network is kind of how I imagine Luthor thinks to himself. Not how I imagine Luthor acting though.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Speaking of casting crazy people, I never realized that the generic Jerk Businessman in Batman Begins was played by Rutger loving Hauer until I rewatched the first 2 films before going to see Rises in theaters. What an odd casting choice, but it totally works.

They may play it up as a new upstart company vs the established Waynetech. Have Lexcorp be the Google to Waynetech's Microsoft. They could use that as a reason for the Bruce/Lex conflict. Have Lexcorp making massive money off found Krypton tech and about to take over Waynetech. They mentioned that they will be taking a new spin on Bruce as an older wiser Batman. This could be the logical choice for a Younger Lex to be the polar opposite.

Snyder has said he wanted to portray a younger Lex that was kind of like a cross between Bill Gates and Brad Pitt. The shock is wearing off, but I think Eisenberg is a solid casting choice. I didn't realize he's the same age as Cavill too.
