avp vs superman

[ feelin’ | tgif ]

i like how the “feelin’” header no longer makes any sense. ill toss in nouns, adverbs, whole phrases, symbolic gestures…whatever. i think ill just toss it starting next week. its friday…woot! and tomorrows going to be another biking excursion. except my shoulders are still sunburned from last weekend…blah. maybe we’ll bike in the shade.

AVP INTERNATIONAL
didnt i say just a week ago that id try and diversify the post subjects? *shrug*…ill try harder after this post. first up for today is a new international avp trailer, which begins with a similar intro to the u.s. trailer, but then shifts gears and cuts into new footage not seen in prior trailers. more alien shots, more predator snarls, and more humans pissing in their pants…yay! can you hear my expectations rising? im setting myself up for a letdown…

SUPERMAN
and new superman news surfaced today about how casting was going. usa today (via shh) points out that young thesp shia labeouf is in talks to play jimmy olsen, so thats coo…a dude with typos all over his name. jk, its all good. the post mentions that he was in charlies angels 2, so im gonna guess he was that young afro kid the angels saved from the assassin. in regards to the superman casting, shia mentions that jake gyllenhaal was no longer in the running to play superman, and that they were going for a relatively unknown. gyllenhaal’s coo, but i wouldnt be opposed to bringing in an unknown. more power to them. shia goes on to say that they were also looking to bring in scarlet johannson as lois lane and johnny depp as lex luthor. the depp thing id heard before…but the johannson casting is news to me. not sure how i feel about that…im squinting my eyes trying to picture her as lois lane, but its not looking right. maybe its just me.
