The early reviews for the new Hulk are trickling in and most everyone that saw it said it was great. I have learned my lesson from Iron Man and will hold judgement on Edward Norton's adaptation until I see it.</p> <p>There are more easter eggs in this film as there were with Iron Man^[1] giving nod to the Captain America and Avenger franchise releases in the coming years^[2]. In an interview with AOTS Louis Leterrier suggests an appearance of the Capt'n (along with already known cameos of Tony Stark and Nick Fury) and that Lou Ferrigno lends his hulking voice^[3].</p> <p>I do not remember a year of strong movies at the BO like this in some time. It seems like this year's releases are really testing the nerd wallet. I would maybe make it to one movie a year, but this year I have already seen Iron Man and Indy 4 -- with my money already spoken for in regards to The Dark Knight and The Clone Wars, I may be adding The Incredible Hulk, Sex And The City^[4], and Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince^[4] to my set list. Unfortunately, this means a couple movies I may have to scratch off my plate are Burn After Reading and Choke.</p> <p> <ul class="ref"> <li>^[1] via <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6aevvc" alt="http://tinyurl.com/6aevvc" target="_blank">io9.com</a></li> <li>^[2] via <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6ofgpe" alt="http://tinyurl.com/6ofgpe" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a></li> <li>^[3] via <a href="http://tinyurl.com/5fu42c" alt="http://tinyurl.com/5fu42c" target="_blank">G4</a></li> <li>^[4] via Rules of Marriage</li> </ul> </p> Saturday, June 7, 2008 http://shirtripper.com/a/3/ http://shirtripper.com/ <style>body {width: 600px; font: 0.8125em Verdana, sans-serif; background: -300px url('http://shirtripper.com/images/background_00.png') no-repeat #000000; color: #cdcdcd;} a {font: 1em Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #AED565;} a:hover {color: #E2F6BC; text-decoration: underline;} ul {list-style: none;} sup {font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; color: #AED565; padding: 0 0 0 2px; vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; top: -0.4em;}</style> <p>I'm heading to the great land of TX for SXSW this year. This will be my first of many and I am looking forward to talkin' shoppe with some great minds and personalities. I have always been fascinated by large social gatherings; the parties are great but it's all the stereotypes that play-out in front of your eyes that tickle me. One intriguing thing will be interactions between all the great minds and all the pretenders.</p> Sunday, March 2, 2008 http://shirtripper.com/a/2/
