Alright, let's get the ball rolling again with a bit of a nerdy opinion!
As many people know, Marvel regularly adds short scenes after-credits teasing the next movie. And the one in the Avengers movie presents an exciting new villain, one that has created a little confusion with your average Joe who came there for the fight scenes like he saw in previous Marvel movies.
Picture this, a die-hard fan and his average Joe friend go see the Avengers. The fan is pleased with the characters and Joe is hypnotized by Bay'splosions and Scarlett Johansen. As the credits roll, Joe shakily gets up to go, but Fan stops him and tells him to wait a few more minutes. Que aforementioned scene. Fan gets very excited and smugly asks Joe who he thinks the new villain is. Joe thinks very hard, and after a few minutes (perhaps hours) his face lights up and he loudly proclaims:
"OMG IT'S THE RED SKULL"
*Facepalm*
To clear this up for you, the fellow you saw was Thanos, a ridiculously powerful Avengers/Fantastic Four villain who has a crush on Death (or a physical maifestation of, you guessed it, death)
Yeah, there you go.
More to come... Maybe?

...or not...
Well as you all have noticed, I have failed my New Years resolution. Why Isaac? Why!!??
Anyway I don't have much time to post right now, but pretty soon I'll be posting about my book and the characters therein.

Welcome to "doomsyear"
Well guess what everyone, it's 2012 and everyone is going to die! MWAHAHHAHAHAHHA!
Okay... maybe not, but there's plenty to do this year besides the end of the world! Looks like a fantastic movie year, with titles such as, The Hobbit: An unexpected journey, The Hunger Games, and... Battleship.
Yes, the upcoming movie Battleship... is based on the game... Battleship. You know, were one kid shouts "F5" And the other one shouts, "You sunk my Battleship!". Yup, we got smart people over there in Hollywood, coming up with all sorts of original ideas, like a remake of Red Dawn.
Actually, i'm looking forward to that one. If you don't know what Red Dawn is, it's a movie about a soviet invasion of america. Where a bunch of high school kids join together to fight the Reds! It's not as cheesy as it sounds, it's a really gritty, gory, and otherwise depressing movie, and only two of the kids survive. Of course, for the sake of being a more "modern" take on the movie, the bad guys are Chinese! Until the wiseguys in marketing realized they really didn't want' to lose the marketing of the guys who make our happy meal toys, so the bad guys were changed to the ever wicked North Koreans. I'll take a polite pause so everyone can patriotically scowl.
Done? Good. Let's move on, anyway... errrrrrrr........ lost my train of thought. But until I can get back on track again, I have made the New Years resolution that I will post at least once every week in this poor blog I have been sadly neglecting. That's all for now folks! Happy New Year and don't forget to brush your teeth!
