I feel this is worth posting. The Avengers starts filming today and just to make me extra happy, Marvel went ahead and released this first official photo. Sure, you don't get to see anything, but it's still awesome. You can read the full press release over at /Film. But for now, just look at these chairs and imagine what could be.

Casting updates and links
Since I last posted about anything about casting, almost the entire Hunger Games cast has been filled in. There's an unremarkable announcement for Zach Snyder's Superman reboot, which is now titled Man of Steel. Also, there's a suspiciously mundane press release for The Dark Knight Rises.

Harry Potter and the Deathy Hallows Part II trailer leaked
Thank to /Film for pointing out that a teaser trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II has turned up online. The trailer looks awesome and showcases some of the book's best moments. While I liked Part I (it made my top 10 for the year), it dragged a lot and was fairly boring. I still stand by my argument that it should have been condensed into one film, but at least the second part looks like it's going to pack enough punch to make up for all that time in the tent.

First video from The Hobbit
Peter Jackson has posted the first video blog from The Hobbit. There's nothing really new shown here, but we get a look at the replicated Bag End and Rivendell sets, and get a look at the actors out of makeup. My personal highlight was Jackson running through the names of the dwarves (Dori, Ori, Nori, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur). I can tell the script supervisor is going to be working overtime. Check out the video on Facebook.

My March reading recap
I didn't end up reading as much as I'd wanted to in March. There's one big reason for this, and some other things got in the way as well. I'm hoping a lighter schedule this quarter will let me read more on my own. Of course, this month's all ready a third gone, so I'd better get on that right away. But if you want to see what I read for fun, it's after the jump.

Sucker Punch
I saw Sucker Punch over the weekend and wanted to post a couple of quick thoughts, because its such a ridiculously over-the-top movie that I think it deserves it. As the credits rolled (to a bizarre musical number), my friend gave the best description I've heard so far, calling a cross between Inception
and a Lady Gaga music video. Going in, I was expecting Sucker Punch to be a pretty straight up exploitation flick. Basically 300 with hot women instead of shirtless guys, which to my mind would be an improvement. I ranked it fifth of the films I was looking forward to in 2011. Now Sucker Punch has received some negative reviews, and I'm going to have to disagree with those.
