Tony Stark Likes Redheads



I was checking out the latest pics from Iron Man 2. They included Stark looking hot, Whiplash the new villain looking unwashed, Pepper looking sweet, Stark looking even hotter, and Black Widow, undercover and in a spy outfit.


And then I realized that there was a silver lining to having Johanssen as Natasha, and that was the spy outfit. The figure hugging, zip front spy outfit.


Because you see, the only nemesis nemesis-y enough to be a threat to Stark is one in black PVC with an hourglass shape. That, and a villain whose power is to manifest large amounts of good quality alcohol.


I can’t wait for the new Iron Man! Even though Whiplash looks sorta like a hobo who raided a garage, it will still be a cool movie.



Because Tony Stark. Is. Awesome.



I also saw on ComicVine that a Magdalena movie might be in the works. I’ve never read any of the Top Cow comics, but I used to religiously watch Witchblade on TV.

Witchblade is in no way related to Magdalena, except that they have the same ‘villain’, Darkness. Who also has his own comic book.


In fact, everyone and their distant ancestors who appear in the original Witchblade run have their own comic at Top Cow.


Jenna Dewan is attached apparently, and if you guys have forgotten who she is, she’s the girl who spent endless hours of screentime with Channing Tatum in Step Up. I think she’s a bit short, but she’s pretty cute and not Megan Fox, so that’s good.



Speaking of Megan Fox (because everyone is anyway) she’s also jumping on the comic heroine bandwagon (again), rumoured to be signed to play the mostly naked protagonist of Fathom, Aspen Matthews.

Which is kind of correct I guess. Every other image of Aspen is lacking in what we like to call outer clothes, much like every other image of Megan Fox.



In other news, fans of Superman (yep, all five of you) be warned: DC is losing rights to its gayest character within the next four years or so.


That means they will no longer be able TO PUBLISH SUPERMAN COMIC BOOKS HA HA HA.


Sucks to you, wonderboy. That’s what you get for prancing around in BLUE TIGHTS and not being as cool as Batman. Or Tony Stark.



I spent a pleasant day baking brownies and watching Serenity, the movie of one of the greatest ever tv series that I have yet to watch. Haha.


Anyway, it’s always gives me great joy to watch (again) the disgustingly handsome Simon Tam save his psychotic ballerina sister and then hook up with the rest of the crew of Serenity, with dialogue by Joss Whedon.


Simon Tam (to his sister, River): If shooting starts, just run away as fast as you can. Get somewhere safe, get away. (Eyeing the rest of the crew in the ship with her and saying in a loud whisper) It’s ok to leave them to die.


Malcolm: Simon, I swear to you, if anything happens to your sister…I’d get real choked up. Really upset. There might even be tears.




For two minutes of pure anime awesomeness.
