Dangerous Entertainment News – Thursday, July 21

I think I just assembled in my pants (courtesy of Badass Digest)

Welcome back to the DEN, friends. While some of you are hopefully off enjoying the wonders of Comic Con 2011, I am here in Boston writing this, editing another podcast, and preparing for Wordcamp Boston this upcoming weekend. Why? So that I can bring you the finest in movie and TV blogging. No, no, I do not require any thanks. I am a man of the people, even if all you people are off in San Diego. Onto the news . . .

Avengers Assemble . . . And Tease (Badass Digest) – Man (and ladies), I am so psyched for this movie that I can hardly contain myself. Now that the Dark Knght Rises trailer has officially underwhelmed me, this is the top of my wish list for movies in the next year. I was a huge Marvel comic book fan growing up and the Avengers were always kind of drool-worthy to me because I was such a Captain America fan. Thinking about Cap at the head of a super group that we have seen being assembled gradually over the last three years has truly been something special as well. What a brilliant plan of attack. Captain America is the last piece before the entire puzzle is revealed next summer and I have a really good feeling that it is going to be amazing. We all know what Joss Whedon is capable of and to give him a ginormous budget, great stable of actors, and pretty much everything else he needs to knock this out of the park, well, let’s just say that this might be something special. I am seriously getting just a little shaky just thinking about it. Captain America opens this weekend and I am almost as excited for the teaser trailer afterwards as I am for the movie itself.
