I Am Link

.

--- Mister Green Briefs - If you missed this over the weekend Entertainment Tonight previewed the first footage from The Green Lantern and it looked sillier than I expected but it also has Ryan Reynolds in tighty-whities so I kinda blacked out for most of it. Hopefully we'll get a nice big juicy HD trailer soon so we can get some nice big juicy clear screen-caps of this. Since this is obviously the most important thing going on here.

--- The Boy Bilbo - Want to hear what Martin Freeman, who works all the time but will always be Tim from the original Office to me, thinks about playing Bilbo Baggins? Here's an interview. I know I just said he'll always be Tim to me but I just realized there probably will come a day when he'll always be Bilbo to me, won't there? Huh. Change.

--- Map Porn - This is terribly geeky of me but it brings my inner map-geek (not to mention my outer geek-geek) a whole lot of pleasure so wtf ever - io9 takes a look at a map of the kingdom of Westeros (Westeros, you might know if you're as geeky as me in this regard, is the fictional land of the Song of Ice & Fire books by George R. R. Martin) and while that's not new, I geeked over it on Facebook a couple of months back, what is new is their comparison of the kingdom's size compared to Europe, and the way the two sort of overlay... blah blah blah, geek.

--- Felt Gods - It's so exciting that they're actually filming a new Muppet Movie, isn't it? We all owe Jason Segel a blow job, every last one of us, for making this happen. Here's some pictures from the set! It's filming now! Also, Jane Lynch is in the cast now. How perfect does Jane Lynch interacting with a Muppet sound? It's one of those perfect things out there waiting to be realized - a platonic ideal of Muppetry, yo. ETA - Aww it's not to be, no Jane Lynch. SUCK.

--- Take Two Wolvy - So this is really happening? Darren Aronofsky really is directing the sequel to Wolverine? He talked about it some over here. It will be called The Wolverine, it won't really have any connection to the first film, and it'll tell a stand-alone-ish story set in Japan.

--- Where Went The Thing - DH gathered up some of the news on how The Thing prequel just got snatched off the calendar for next Spring and hasn't gotten a new date yet. Rumor has it it's just so the director can have his time making the movie right. Which might be spin but it's the spin I'm choosing to believe, because even though I fear this thing wills think I'd like it not to, I really would.

--- Roslin's Stab - I stumbled across what could have been a horribly spoilerish picture for Scream 4 last week so I'm not clicking on picture links for the movie anymore now, but Stale Popcorn offers up our first glimpse of President Roslin in the film, as well as a link I'm not clicking on to other shots. She really ought to know better than to press her head to a door when there's a Ghostface around.
