Remember that Captain America concept art a few months back? There’s a new piece now, and it’s absolutely stunning.
Hopefully the new poster shines some hope for the upcoming movie, which stars Chris Evans as Cap, Hugo Weaving as The Red Skull, and is directed by Joe Johnston.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt...The Riddler?
I can’t begin to stress this enough: this is not verified. But right now, all signs point to Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who just kicked ass in Batman 3 director Christopher Nolan’s Inception) being at the top of a fairly short list to play The Riddler.
It makes sense. Nolan tends to re-use actors from film to film, and Gordon-Levitt did a very good job in Inception.
Fun fact, though: Spider-Man alum James Franco was the original choice to play Gordon-Levitt’s role in Inception. Makes one wonder if Franco would be in the same place if he hadn’t passed.

As I said before,there’s not much new I can add to this. Memento is a movie that I think we are all universally introduced to once we hit college the first time, and for many of us it’s our first true “intelligent” movie. There are definitely smarter movies out there, but none seem quite as entertaining or as enthralling as this. It’s a movie that you should have seen by now, or should be on your way to see it already. I literally cannot recommend this movie highly enough.
There’s literally a twist in every scene of this movie. The method of telling the story backwards puts you in a strange place that you aren’t sure how you got there, and then proceeds to keep twisting and turning. Memento‘s only true flaw is that by nature, the story is never quite as good after the first viewing, once you know what’s going on. But that’s when you start picking it apart. That’s when you notice the license plate was different, or someone is wearing a different shirt, or that Leonard just passed a familiar building. What Memento sacrifices in emotional impact in multiple viewings, it makes up for in it’s picture hunt-esque film making that scatters all the clues you need to draw one out of a million of different conclusions about what’s really going on in this film. Much like I mentioned in my Inception review, the joy of Memento is that it makes you earn your surprises.
What can be said about Memento that hasn’t been said a dozen times before? Nolan’s ground breaking film (and arguably the one that put him on the map as a big time director) is a mind bending thriller that becomes an enigma with every viewing. In fact, I think Memento is probably my favorite Nolan film and, yes, that does include his work on the Batman franchise.

Guests of special note include Brian Froud, a veteran of The Jim Henson Company, who will be on hand to sign exclusive posters for the upcoming Dark Crystal comics; actor/writer Michael McMillian (“True Blood”), who will sign copies of Lucid #1, the first comic to come from the partnership between Before the Door and Archaia; actor/writer/producer/director Dan Fogler (“Fanboys,” “Balls of Fury”), who will be signing a preview book of the upcoming Moon Lake, a hardcover anthology of comedic horror stories; Eisner Award-winning creator David Petersen, who’ll be on hand to sign copies of Mouse Guard; Tom Siddell, who will sign copies of the two volumes of Gunnerkrigg Court; Matz, the Eisner Award-nominated writer who will sign copies of The Killer, a popular series originally published in France that has captivated American readers; and Eisner Award-nominated writer Phil Hester, who will sign copies of the Archaia and Roddenberry Productions hardcover, Days Missing.

New THOR production stills have hit the Internet. This time around, a look at the halls of Asgard. Also, to the far left, we finally have confirmation that Loki’s traditional pointed horn helmet appears in the film too. Hopefully, this also means that Thor’s legendary winged helm will show up too.

Much better, given last week’s series of disappointing costume reveals.
