Dwarves, heroes, and other stuff

The dwarves from The Hobbit are revealed in all their bearded glory, news from Marvel on bringing their heroes to the screen, cool commentary by io9 on a TV show that shouldn't be good, awesome LEGO, and some steps toward becoming Iron Man or Captain America. That right, it's time for another collection of links from around the interwebs.

Another week of links

Here's a collection of links including a new superfood, an exciting new educational opportunity, posters from the next Harry Potter, an TV spot for Captain America, and the other reason I need a Blu-ray player. Oh, yeah, and a hoverboard will soon be mine.

Full trailer for Captain America

The first full-length trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger was released online today. It looks awesome and shows how Steve Rogers was selected for the Super Soldier program. It also gives a better look at the supporting characters that we didn't see in the 30-second Super Bowl spot like Dominic Cooper as Howard Stark and Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, plus a quick shot of the future Thorin Oakenshield as a Nazi assassin. Like I've said before, I'm pumped about this movie.

On a side note, I saw Paul today and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was filled with all those the nerdy references that I'm so capable of getting. I also saw Battle: Los Angeles a few days ago and thought it was a surprisingly good, unapologetic action movie. Seriously, it's the movie most other action movies should be trying to imitate. The premise was Black Hawk Down with aliens, and they pulled it off. My 2011 film list has been updated accordingly.
