3. When the Hulk is smashing Loki up and down, they inserted Tom Hiddleston's real agonized face.
This took a lot of shooting of Hiddleston looking pained, so they could paste it into the digital Loki. "We're not inventing how he looks when he's in pain," says Chu. "I had to get behind [Tom Hiddleston] and shake him violently," so they could capture his real expressions. (He mimes violent shaking.) "I did it so long, he started laughing. So we didn't use that portion."

This better show up somewhere...

Scarlett Johansson was on my TV tonight! CSPAN even! I loved her speech at Democratic National Convention. I heard rumors that Natalie Portman and Mark Ruffalo would also be attending but I never saw them.

Viggo Mortensen is rumored to be playing Dr. Strange in Thor 2!

I mean, Dr. Strange is AWESOME and to be played by Viggo?? In the same film as Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Idris Elba and Chris Eccleston????

PLEASE LET THIS COME TRUE!

BAD:

Rephrase that...VERY BAD:

"ITEM UPDATE: The "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One--Avengers Assembled Collection" will not be released by Marvel as we originally expected. We know this delay is disappointing, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Marvel is planning to offer a similar collection in new packaging. The new collection will include the original titles offered with the first version of the item, and we expect it will be available in the spring of 2013. Additional information will be available on our website and via email when available."

No mention of whether it'll be all 10 discs or just 6 like the international version or whether the files, PHIL!, will be included anymore...
