Avengers Storm The Golden Globes

The Golden Globes drew quite a bit of attention this year.  While most of the comments were about Ricky Gervais destroying his career in Hollywood faster than a speeding bullet, we had all of Marvel's big three present awards during the ceremony.  We saw Chris Evans and Hemsworth introduce an award together, although we better pray that their banter gets better in the Avengers.  Downey also got the best laughs of the entire show, proving once again why he's so damn cool.  Here's a pic of Hemsworth looking like a freaking god.


We also heard a few brief comments about the movie's script.  It looks like early drafts of the script have been sent out, and both RDJ and Hemsworth were pretty ecstatic about it.  The man who would be Thor commented about how huge the movie would be in terms of scale, and how he has no idea how they'll be shooting it.  If there is anything we want to hear about this movie, it's about size.  When you put this big a team together, you better be fighting something apocalyptic.  RDJ also commented that the movie had the potential to be extraordinary, and I'll believe anything that man says.


But why does this matter?  Surely, nothing of substance was said.  Just opinions.  No, the point is that this movie is actually, somehow, getting made.  I still can't really believe it..  The scope is so huge, and requires so many different parts that it felt like an impossible task.  And what we're hearing is that it's on track.  Kinda surreal.
