FYI There is an Avenger’s Movie

In case you have been living under a rock for the past few years, superhero movies are not only in vogue but 2011 may just go down in history as the year hero-flicks choked the boxoffice. Hopefully 2012, with The Dark Knight Rises & The Avengers (more on that in a second), will be the much needed Heimlich for the summer blockbuster. But I digress.

Last week was my birthday, but for the rest of the nerd-net, because there really is partition of nerdy vs. not internet; how far we have come. It was the day the Avengers trailer premiered.

Oh did I mention its being directed by Joss Whedon, as if you didn’t already know.  So this looks like it could be pretty good, and the pedigree of the writer(s)/director certainly seems like we won’t be seeing the theoretical sequel to “The Green Lantern”, which I will have to deal with at some later date.

Ever since the Jack Black vehicle “Be Kind Rewind” sweding has entered popular culture. For the uninitiated this is the artistic approach of remaking something with the production values of bored junior high students, it being the main plotpoint of said film. It may doesn’t sound that entertainnig, but somehow it seems to work. Here then, is “The Avengers Trailer: Redux”

Just in case there are any naysayers who are questioning why I would bother writing a couple hundred words to present a trailer. 1) Come on its film and comicbooks, whose blog are you reading anyway. But more importantly it was important enough for NMA to make one of their hilarious animated news pieces. I really hope NMA isn’t news to you, it is not only always good for a couple visual gags but also a really good measure of the world impact of, usually pop-culture, events. Jay & Conan’s late night strife, and our friends over at Occupy Wall Street.

Ah the wonders of the internet and mixed media remixing.
