Karen: Happy Sunday to you. Hope you've had a nice holiday. We've got a few items to discuss. First up, there's a website for the upcoming X-Men film, Days of Future Past, called the Bent Bullet, and it's a nifty piece of viral marketing. It provides some clues about the film's plot, and some folks are calling it distasteful (particularly given the time of year the whole thing was released). Take a look at the video below and let us know what you think of it. I will say that the premise does seem similar to elements of the original plot of the DOFP comics, if sensationalized.
Karen: And what about some of the rumors flying about the Ant Man film -like for instance, the idea of casting Paul Rudd as the hero? That's not an actor who springs to mind for me when I think of the character -at least not if we're going with Hank Pym, and portraying him as super-smart, capable, and heroic. I hope they are not playing this film completely for laughs, but some of the things I'm hearing makes me wonder.
Karen: Since we had four days off, my husband and I went and saw "Thor: The Dark World" again and enjoyed it this time around as well. We began talking about the Nine Realms afterwards, and since it had been some time since I had read any Norse mythology I could only think of 8 of the 9 (I forgot Alfheim). I did a little internet hunting and found this fun graphic over on IGN (IGN Nine Realms). Check it out; it's pretty nifty. You never know when you might find yourself lost in Muspelheim.
