Keep in mind there are a few movies releasing in 2007 that I haven’t yet seen like Juno and Charlie Wilson’s War that might claim places on the list later.

So in no particular order (because narrowing them down to 10 was hard enough) here are my top 10 movies of 2007:
Darjeeling Limited
No End in Sight
Grindhouse
Hot Fuzz
In the Shadow of the Moon
No Country For Old Men
Eastern Promises
Once (one of the biggest surprises of the year for sure!)
The King of Kong: A Fist Full of Quarters
Superbad 

Honorable Mention:
Michael Clayton
Smokin’ Aces
Waitress (which the wife says should be on the main list - but this is my list not hers right?!)
Tears of the Black Tiger (this was released in 2001 in Thailand but in 2007 in the States)
Rescue Dawn 

Biggest Letdowns:

Spider-Man 3
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Across the Universe 

Discuss…

I have been hearing about the amazing Iron Man footage shown at Comic-Con for a week now but I finally found a site with a capture of the footage. I still haven’t been able to watch it with sound but it sure looks killer. Check it out for yourself HERE.

Thanks to the always amazing Toys R Evil for the heads up!

Anyone who has been reading my posts here or in my blog knows of my affinity for the nerd-arts. This much is common knowledge. Well as a giant nerd I am dying a little inside on account of the fact that I am currently not in lovely downtown San Diego kicking it with my fellow freaks at the coolest fucking thing ever. In my quest to quell the sadness (and try to forget that Kindercore comic artists Travis “Foxy Brown” Fox and the Eisner Award nominated Josh Cotter are currently trolling the convention floor) I thought I would post some of the pictures and announcements that have been piping through this great series of tubes we call home.

First there was the unveiling of the Iron Man Mark I armour which looks amazing - Blurry pics can be found at the always excellent Toys Are Evil Blog!! There has also been a slight update to the official site, some footage was shown (write up at Super Hero Hype), and Samuel L. Jackson has been confirmed as a cast member though no word on if he will indeed play the Ultimate Universe version of Nick Fury. I am sure more news will be revealed on Saturday and hopefully we will see some of that footage online so those of us not able to make the Con might bask in a little glory as well.

Empire Magazine also has Iron Man on the cover (click to watch it grow):

Super Hero Hype has the story on the full cast of the upcoming Watchmen movie

If you want to see the Marvel toys you won’t be able to find because they are convention exclusives go HERE.

The US Postal Service (not the one with the guy from Death Cab, the other Postal Service) unveiled Marvel stamps.

And tons of other stuff happened that I can’t find pictures or links for and even more will happen today and tomorrow (like the Lost - oh how I miss thee - panel). I will post more cool crud as I find it but I think it is time to power down the nerd machine and head back into the trenches of the working world.

Until next time - Excelsior!! Sorry Stan!

If you want to look for more crap like this check out:
Toys are Evil, Super Hero Hype, Marvel’s news section and a little thing called Google.
