    Well, to be fair, I don't think Wright's Ant-Man film is related to this slate of "Avengers" films. Meaning, I don't think there's any studio contract linking it to this mega-project and it won't necessarily be the same actor or tone for the Ant-Man film and The Avengers film.

    Isn't that correct?

    Probably. From what I hear, it's an action-comedy more based on the new Ant-Man character who uses his powers for personal gain (like peeping superheroines in the shower).

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Well, that's kind of a shame. I think I like Cheadle better, but it's always kind of annoying when they replace an actor.

    Ditto that.

    It's very very horrible, sir. It's one of those things we wish we could disinvent.

    Yeah, that's pretty much it.

    I like the people saying they should've replaced him with Cuba Gooding, Jr. I agree that they should cast him, but not as Jim Rhodes. Perhaps Iron Man's armor shiner?

    At least now Howard can fully focus on his music career.

    The intro to that song sounds almost exactly like something of Sufjan Stevens' Illinois.

    Anyway, not sure if anyone else heard an interview he did recently (I think it was NPR) where he basically said he heard he was being replaced the same way the rest of us did. You have to wonder exactly what happened.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    Rourke as Whiplash
    Rockwell as Justin Hammer

    I don't know the villains, but the casting is already awesome.
