At Comic-Con yesterday, Joss Whedon announced that the sequel to the blockbuster The Avengers will be titled The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The inevitable response to this: who is Ultron and why do I care?
Let’s take a look at Ultron as a character in Marvel comics.

Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight is genius. (Stay with me on this- I’ll get to it…)
I just finished watching The Cabin in the Woods on Blu-ray. I saw it in the theater earlier this year and bought it the day it hit the stores. I’ve been waiting for the perfect night to convince either: a) my wife, b) my father, or c) my 14-year old son, to watch it with me. This evening my father was the big winner. My wife was watching Web coverage of the new Twilight movie and my son is at his mother’s house. Bonding time for Papa and me!
Happy belated Star Wars Day! (aka May the Fourth Be With You!)
Two days ago Marvel’s The Avengers opened in the United States. I’d been waiting for this movie for some time so when I saw that the local movie chain was taking part in the Marvel Movie Event (a marathon beginning at 2:15 pm with Iron Man and culminating with the 12:01 am Avengers premiere) I knew that was how I’d be spending my Thursday. I started beating the drum on Facebook about two weeks before the event. By the time Thursday afternoon arrived I had quite a group of guys ready to nerd it up.
On a hunch, I brought my pocket notepad with me as I figured the event might inspire some writing. Also, I thought that tweeting between movies might be entertaining. Here it is- enjoy!

The Avengers, the next installment in the mostly-solid string of Marvel adaptations, opens May 4th. I, along with my fellow diehard fans, will be sitting down at midnight to take in the next adventure. This particular subset of the Marvel Universe has really rocked with two Iron Man movies, Thor, and Captain America. The reboot of The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton was solid. (Sorry Ang Lee- I loved Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but Hulk was shit.)
