Happy dance.
But who is going to play John Steed?
Hell with Steed – I want to know who plays Emma Peel.
Two questions: Will Captain Hammer be joining? Will there be singing and dancing?
Do you know what happens to a toad that watches the Avengers?
Y’know, Hawkeye’s original name was indeed “Captain Tightpants”.
And I had thought his name was Benjamin Franklin Pierce. Learn something new every day.
This was my first thought too! I was a bit disappointed to learn that it was just some silly superhero movie. :o
The same thing that happens to everyone else…
Lordy, I hope this is good - he’s got a full line-up of scenery chewers and he’s great with dialogue - this could work.
Well, I’m guesing that narrows down the cast of the Scarlett Witch - Go Kaylee!
Hmm. I was going to offer this up as definitive proof that there is, in fact, no god.
Amy Acker would make an amazing Emma Peel. For that matter, Amy Acker would make an amazing anything, but still.
Is this movie going to include Ed Norton as the Hulk? (I hope so).
No, no, no – there are a number of “no god” choices: Michael Bay, McG, Barry Sonnenfeld, Renny Harlin… or what if you’d heard that George Lucas decided to do it?
The “no god, no buddha, no justice” option: Joel Schumacher. We’d have nipples on Capt. America and Hawkeye would be played by Jim Carrey.
The world has dodged a bullet here, people.
Uwe Boll!
If Ed Norton got his way, then yes. But his future as Bruce Banner is all up in the air.
Frankly I don’t know about that Whedon guy, he doesn’t seem to be able to make something that many people actually watch.
Heh, right. 
Brilliant decision and wise choice for Joss. I actually would not mind if Bruce Banner is played by Ed Norton. The Incredible Hulk movie wasn’t all bad.
On a serious note: What’s the appeal, exactly, of Joss Whedon? I’ve seen exactly two (2) entertainments that he had a hand in that I actually liked. One was Toy Story, which I really, really adore (though not so much as the even better Toy Story 2), but which also employed Whedon as one in a team of writers, so I guess you can’t credibly refer to it as a “Joss Whedon movie”. The other is the original X-Men, which I like despite Whedon and his contributing one of the most grating dialog clunkers in recent memory (which was referred to up-thread).
As for all the rest? Couldn’t get into either of his most vaunted and personal creations (Buffy and Firefly), I haven’t seen Dollhouse or Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog, and a actively loathe his single-handed fuck up of Alien: Resurrection and his tarnishing, however slightly, the reputation of a good director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) in the process.
In short, I view him in much the same way as I do Quentin Tarantino, only more so: someone who’s so in love with his “singular”, “creative”, “witty” voice that he has to make each and every one of his characters, no matter their background or what situation they’re in, sound exactly like him. He’s a hack of the lowest order, in other words, and not so very different, in my mind, from the likes of Michael Bay and Brett Ratner.
Joss Whedon was not a credited writer on X-Men. So any credit or blame for that movie’s dialogue should solely go to screenwriter David Hayter. The fact that Whedon admits the lightning line is his (and nothing from the rest of the movie) tells you all you need to know about how much he considers X-Men one of his movies.
And Alien Resurrection is 10x the movie that Alien 3 was.
On this, we shall have to agree to disagree.
[hijack] My assessment of the Alien films: Alien - A; Aliens - A-; Alien³ - B-; Alien: Resurrection - D- (the gentleman’s F). And I’ve not seen AvP, and have no intention of ever doing so. [/hijack]
