Socking It To Santa: Comic Book Christmas Stockings
22 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The holiday season inspires many wonderful novelty items for decorating one's house, but aside from tree ornaments and wrapping paper, there aren't many outlets for comic book stars to shine.
That's why when it comes to hanging out for the holidays, stockings are an enjoyable way to capitalize on one's super hero movie fandom without getting too tacky.
Here's a rundown of a few appropriate choices for the season, along with a look at the cinematic future of each franchise. (Image courtesy of The Deadpool Bugle and artist Paco Medina.)
Shellhead's heavy-duty armor plating may not seem like a logical choice for a typically plushy decoration, but movie and comic fans alike can't resist the charm of an Iron Man novelty. This summer's "Iron Man 2" will likely have a positive effect on next winter's stocking offerings – if folks can reconcile War Machine with "peace on earth and good will toward super villains. »

Marvel writers excited about arrival of 'shared universe' in Avengers movie
22 December 2009 11:27 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
While we have seen superhero teams on screen before in X-Men and Fantastic Four, we've not yet seen several heroes crossing over from their own films into one ensemble movie.
This will happen in The Avengers, the 2012 Marvel Studios team-up movie bringing together Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Captain America, Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury and possibly Hawkeye, Edward Norton's Hulk, Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow and others.
Staff at Marvel Comics are excited to see how the concept of uniting all those characters will work on the big screen.
In an interview with Newsarama, several of them have given their views on the Avengers film.
Writer Brian Michael Bendis, who for five years has been the 'architect' of the Avengers comic, is part of the creative committee that consults on movies in development at Marvel Studios, including The Avengers.
He told Newsarama: »

The Decade’s Film: 2005-2009
21 December 2009 7:33 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
It had been a successful decade for the comic book movie, with that trend continuing into the latter half of the decade. Just as looked like the public demand for irradiated heroes looked to be diminishing, with lacklustre showings from the likes of Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four, out came Iron Man. Coupled with a brilliant script and an excellent performance from Robert Downey Jr as the titular zillionaire industrialist/playboy/freedom fighter/all-round genius, the end result was something truly special. Downey’s career was also revitalised, earning him a role in Tropic Thunder (which would earn him an Oscar nomination). Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk took a similar approach, this time giving Edward Norton of Fight Club fame a shot at getting under the skin of the green goliath. They set a tough act to follow, but followed they were by one Christopher Nolan. With the Batman »

DVD Playhouse—December 2009
By
Public Enemies (Universal) Johnny Depp portrays legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger in co- writer/director Michael Mann’s take on America’s first “Public Enemy Number One.” Like many big studio releases today, Public Enemies has it all: A-list talent before and behind the camera, but lacks a heart or soul that allows its audience to connect with it. Film plays out like a “true crime” TV show with re-enactments of famous events cast with top actors and shot by the best technicians in the business, with little, if any, character or story development to hold it together in between. A real disappointment from one of our finest filmmakers and finest actors. The lone standout: the great character actor Stephen Lang as a hard-eyed lawman who’s seen a lot, but manages to retain a tiny piece of his heart. For a better take on the same subject, »

Seven ridiculous film plots, five unlikely weapons and the five scariest children in film
Seven Ridiculous Film Plots
Physicists could have a quantum field day with the rebooted space opera's loose interpretations of black holes, supernovas, "red matter", etc – but relax, it's only sci-fi! Harder to swallow was the bit when Kirk was exiled to a barren, snowy planet, but luckily landed right outside the cave of Leonard Nimoy. Or the fact that Kirk and Spock could two-handedly overpower a 24th-century Romulan spaceship like it was a 60s Bond movie. Didn't those guys invent security cameras yet?
Ricky Gervais told us this was set in a world where nobody knew how to lie. He lied. In a lie-free world, there'd be no corrupt cops like Ed Norton's. There'd be no corruption. Or secrecy, bribery, exaggeration, artifice, or, in fact, crime. There'd be no cops at all, »

Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.

Keri Loves Her Coffee Talk in NYC

Keri Russell put on her comfy coat yesterday when she headed out to grab a coffee in NYC. She took her cup to go, then sat outside the cafe to make a quick call on her BlackBerry. It's been a low-key few months for the actress, as she spent time at home in Brooklyn with her leading men River and Shane. Soon she'll be hitting the red carpet, though, when it's time to promote Leaves of Grass with Ed Norton - check out that film's trailer - and Extraordinary Measures, formerly known as Crowley, with Harrison Ford before they hit the big screen soon.

MTV Splash Page Makes A Holiday Wish For These Armors In 'Iron Man 2'
16 December 2009 11:30 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From Splash Page: Tony Stark has donned plenty of armors that would be better left out of "Iron Man 2" and any subsequent Marvel films in favor of giving his classic look (and War Machine) a bigger spotlight.
War Machine, however, is just one of Tony Stark's technical masterpieces that have appeared over the course of Iron Man's half century in comics. Here are five others that would shake up theaters in an Iron Man film.
Hulkbuster Armor
If Robert Downey Jr. ever confronts Edward Norton on-screen in a Marvel film, expect there to be a long pause with some loud metallic stomping noises before the camera pans up to reveal the most intimidating armor set Tony's ever put on. Last used by Stark to confront the Hulk during his post-"World War Hulk" rage, he tricked it out with adamantium needles capable of injecting the big green guy with nanites. »

Alanis Morissette Gets High from Running - and the Occasional Joint
15 December 2009 7:45 AM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
Alanis Morissette struggled with depression her whole life, but recently, she found an effective antidote: running. Morissette, 35, tells Runner's World that "running has made being depressed impossible. If I'm going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I'll come back with clarity." The Grammy-winning singer, who has run two marathons, tries to live a healthy lifestyle, including eating lots of kale. But she still occasionally indulges "in red wine, and it's fun to have medical marijuana once in a while," she says. "I still party and include a little debauchery." Always an active »

Courtney Love Loses Custody of Frances Bean

Update: A lawyer for Kurt Cobain's mother and sister said this is a private family matter and that no statement would be issued on the reason behind the move.
It's going to be a lonely Christmas for Courtney Love. The ever-troubled rocker has lost legal custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain, according to documents filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court. It's unclear what prompted the legal switcheroo, though Love's closely watched Facebook page has devolved in recent weeks into rambling, often incomprehensive diatribes on everyone from the trustees of her daughter's trust fund to Edward Norton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, the latter of whom, »

Overture Sets Deal in 'Stone'

De Niro and Edward Norton remained on board but the supporting actresses were changed for Frances Conroy and Milla Jovovich. Today, John Curran's dramatic-thriller has a confirmed release next year with Overture swooping up domestic rights. - I've sort of lost track of this project since it was first announced as a possible The Deer Hunter reunion between Robert De and Meryl Streep.

Dr: Amy Rice and Alicia Sams' By the People: The Election of Barack Obama
12 December 2009 6:25 PM, PST | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »
For the Obama family and for everyone who campaigned or voted for him, By the People is a feel good memory to add to the scrapbook. Considering that this is literally yesterday's news and hasn't yet aged, the Rice-Sams card still managed to carve out an easy watch and make an overly processed in the media road to the presidency, feel somewhat dynamic. - It'll be a bittersweet viewing for plenty of folks who end up watching today's Daily Recommendation, but for the avid docu fan in me, Amy Rice and Alicia Sams' By the People: The Election of Barack Obama had me thinking of a pair of documentary films (Chris Hegedus and Da Pennebaker's The War Room and Robert Drew's Primary) that gave a far more gripping account of the campaign trail.

Modern Family Review: "Undeck the Halls"
10 December 2009 9:17 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
This week's holiday centric episode of Modern Family, "Undeck the Halls," was the much hyped episode (by us) where Fred Willard made his guest appearance. So how did the comedic legend do?
Well, we'd love to tell you, but somehow the man was only in it for twenty seconds before the opening credits in a cameo at best. Fred Willard is comedic genius and could have added a lot to the already amazing Modern Family cast, but was for some odd reason underused.
How did Edward Norton get so much terrible screen time, when this perfect fit got nothing. Well, we're holding out hope for more of Phil's father in the future, and didn't let it ruin the whole episode for us.
The episode might not have been as funny as previous installments, but it certainly had some very sweet heart, especially when it came to Jay's storyline. Jay initially »

Director Tony Kaye talks Steps and Zero Point
10 December 2009 8:37 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
In another universe, Director Tony Kaye has been working in Hollywood for the last ten years. He didn’t have creative differences with Edward Norton on American History X, and has been working on big movies ever since.
But, as most of you know, that’s not what happened.
While editing American History X, Tony Kaye claims to have been removed from the process and says Edward Norton re-edited the film to give himself more screen time. After that happened, Kaye tried to remove his name from the credits and he placed ads in Variety attacking the film and he sued New Line and the DGA. When a director does something like this on his first big release, it’s no surprise Hollywood didn’t want to work with him on other things.
But even though Kaye has been quiet the last few years, he claims to be working on two films. »
