Avengers Endgame Trailer

"I could do this all day."

Marvel supposedly makes its biggest cash hauls from a film if RDJ is in it. But IMHO, their best story-line and character development efforts are achieved when the main character is Captain America. So this thing looks like a winner from all sides. Of course, my favorite MCU flick so far was The Winter Soldier, and I'm including both Avenger movies in the comparison. So I'm optimistic going in that I'll like it.

"We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun"

Right now.

"You're all puppets tangled in strings!"

Dark.

Hail, Redbone!

So glad they made the cut for the Awesome Mix Tape Vol 1.



So tell me, what is the matter with your feel right? You never answered my question from last year.

"Un chien andalusia"

This song blew me away the first time I heard it in '89. Background.

Have a great weekend. I have no idea what I'm doing tonight....

Oh, that's right. I'm psyched. The music will be awesome; I just found out yesterday that Cherry Bomb is going to be in it. Boo-yah!

I'm hooked

Got this song inside my head, for some reason. Share the wealth.

Tor en Torsdag

Hat tip to Mr. Low-key himself.

Can't wait.

Trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier

There is so much Cleveland in this; I love it already. The part around 2 minutes in where he's riding the motorbike on the bridge is the part they filmed a block from my house which I blogged about earlier. Here's a still I lifted:

Photos from the Filming of Captain America 2

I am so awesome that Marvel decided to shoot scenes from the upcoming Captain America 2: Winter Soldier movie just a block from my house. The Lorain Road Bridge--better known as the "Green Awesome Bridge" in my family--is the scene of some heavy stuff. But I couldn't stand around all day, and the place was filling up with whiners, for lack of a better word. I did get some shots of a dude on a motorcycle dressed like Captain America, but I assume it was a stunt double and not Chris Evans. Still, sort of cool shots. I had to be about 200 feet or more back and I used a 300mm zoom for these.

UPDATE: More awesomeness!

Chris Evans did show up later around 7:00pm, and my kids having camped out for almost 2 hours got some autographs. Here he is signing my son Gideon's hand.

Chris Evans seems like a really nice guy. He had come over to sign a bunch of autographs earlier, so I cynically thought "He's done, he's not coming back." But he did, and he signed tons of stuff. The kids were in their glory, even as I was getting a bit bored. Here's an autograph on the back of our copy of The Avengers Blu-ray.

Chris was also signing the back of these Captain America shield pins with a standard Sharpie marker. Kind of an amazing feat I thought, but I guess stars have a lot of practice. Just about everybody had one, even Justin, our 1-year-old.

I liked this, too, it's basically a model of a fighter jet that they were holding against the giant green-screen. Seemed cheesy, but I suppose they'll just edit out the dude's hand.

The good folks from the Emerald Necklace Inn were serving making sure no one dehydrated by setting up a tent and serving water, lemonade, and soft-drinks and were being very generous with parking spaces.
