Fan-Made Marvel Cinematic Universe Timeline
This fan-made Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline at FilmBuffOnline is version 2.0. Yes, there was a first version, but it wasn’t good enough, so it was made again. It tracks all the various stuff that has happened onscreen from the first Iron Man film to The Avengers. I love it. And there’s no way I would have done it.
New Green Arrow TV Show Drops Green, Keeps Arrow
Is this Green Arrow? Or just Arrow?
Possible good news for those of us who miss having a live action superhero TV show to watch. The CW, the network formerly known as WB and once the airer of the not-quite-Superman series ‘Smallville’, has picked up the pilot for ‘Arrow’, which features a main character not entirely unlike Green Arrow. We know that he’s an archer named Oliver Queen who fights crime using a bow and feathered shafts he stores in a quiver. What’s not clear to me is whether or not he’s green. Read more »
Let’s Talk About The Avengers Movie
I know this is, like, days after The Avengers movie opened, but I’ve been talking about it non-stop with everyone I see. And while I am usually the person who brings up the topic, no one has yet said, “No! Please! Anything but that!” So let’s talk about The Avengers, shall we?

A number of people have asked me what I thought of The Avengers. They know that I am a proud Geek Gold Card member, and I’ve been yakking about this thing for months, if not years. I’ve been told that people enjoy listening to my yakking about superhero movies because I’m really, really into it. (Note: I am also passionate about other topics, and people have been known to enjoy my yakking about those as well.) I’m going to list some of my thoughts about the film here. This isn’t a review per se, but for those of you who haven’t seen it yet — and why haven’t you? — I may reveal plot elements, etc. That’s a spoiler warning for those who worry about such things. And now — Avanti! (That’s my version of ‘Excelsior!’ It’s not as good, but maybe it will catch on in time.) Read more »

If there one thing Hulk hate — almost as much as Hulk hate puny humans — it’s not being able to watch Hulk’s favorite TV show. Read more »
Low budget X-MEN is Awesome [Links]
Someone sent me a link to this and it made me laugh. And it’s about superheroes and superhero movies, so it seemed appropriate for DaddyTips.
You could actually make some of these yourself. DIY X-MEN, anyone? (DIY Cyclops is the most clever, but DIY Wolverine is funnier. Cuz he’s got fork claws. Heh heh. Fork claws.)

We Approve of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Dark Knight Rises
We expressed our concerns about Kevin Costner playing Jonathan Kent in the new Superman movie. But we approve of the casting of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan’s follow-up to The Dark Knight.
What role will he play? Read more »
Hoping Kevin Costner Doesn’t Screw Up New Superman Movie
So Kevin Costner will play Clark Kent’s father in the new Superman movie. (The headline says “adoptive father”, but that’s obvious because Clark Kent is Superman’s Earth name. The correct way to say it would be “Kal-El’s adoptive father.” Geek Gold Card, people.)
Jonathan Kent is a very important part of Clark Kent’s worldview. Read more »
