The Fabric of the Cosmos

I don't know how many people are following news on Thor and Captain America but ComingSoon.net has a really great article about both, which you can find here.

I have to say, I knew it was going to happen but I'm glad to see Hawkeye make a cameo in Thor. It would be too much like a loose thread if he wasn't in it, even if it is just a 'look, hawkeye! oh, you blinked and missed it' moment.

Also, okay, this might be a little rantish, but I'm loving where Captain America is going. I really don't understand all the fanboys/girls out there who have been bitching and moaning that the trailer looks like shit. I think it looks all sorts of shiny. I mean, now that I've had time to think about it, I even like the cgi on Evans.

What's more is that they are, apparently, starting the film in present day, at least briefly, and that sounds brilliant because it's going to be a badass moment when they find Cap's shield buried in the ice!

I know people are bitching about the weird cgi around pre-serum Steve but I kinda like it. I mean, c'mon, Steve was rejected for a reason and the whole awkward proportions body and skinny-skinny bones does a lot to explain that!

God, I'm so excited! The movie needs to come out sooner!

So after much waiting and nail biting, the teaser trailer finally dropped during the Super Bowl! What did everyone think?!

For my part...

The Good:

• It looked like they were actually trying on this; the scene where Steve is running through what looks like a fire fight? Hell YEAH!
• I don't care what anyone says: Chris Evans looks good in that costume and actually pulls it off without me immediately cringing.
• Red Skull looked fucking awesome!
• It looks like it might actually pull off being a period piece without making it feel like a period piece, which I think is important.
• THE SHIELD -- I don't understand the upset with so many people over the indestructible shield having what looks like damage. Even the shield will have "scorch" marks and the paint will be scratched if you're getting hit with bullets and god knows what else. It's not like there are huge dents in the thing.

The Bad:

• I hate (hate hate hate) how you can tell they CGI'd Chris' head on the body double in that one scene (if you've seen it, you probably know what I'm talking about but for those who haven't: Steve (Chris) is sitting on the bed being told not to let whatever happens change him.)
• They didn't cut a good trailer together -- it wasn't nearly as "EPIC" as I was expecting it to be. I mean, c'mon, at least give me a shot of a stormtropper or something.
• "How do you feel?" "Taller." Ugh. Just ugh.

These are from the Oct. 29th issue of Entertainment Weekly on newstands. Yes, I'll be buying a copy. Yes, I'm still fangirling Chris Evans (have done since Sunshine and Fantastic Four, though). Yes, I think he's slowly but surely becoming Steve Rogers: 

( This is not dial-up friendly, babies, so clutch those pearls... )

Chris Evans is going to be a crazy awesome Cap!

This is one of the sweetest and classiest things I've heard in a long long time. Kudos to the crew who got him the letter and for him to actually send something back. The little boy reminds me too much of my nephew for this story not to just gut me. Way to take a leaf off of Steve Rogers tree everyone! 

Holy crap! My mind is blown! When did Chris Evans actually turn into Captain America?!
