Good timing – I needed a light-hearted break. And who doesn’t like a little break with Chris Evans?
JustJared shares photos of Chris Evans and his excellent biceps on the set of his new film “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
A local NBC news station shot some raw footage of Chris on the set, including Chris dropping down to the ground to do some pushups to pump up those arms!
Ben Shapiro has a big problem with Jason Collins being called a “hero.”
Upon Jason Collins’ historic coming-out, Shapiro took to Twitter to decry the calls of heroism being lauded at the NBA center — a popular trend among straight white men who never had to come out as anything in their lives.
Piers Morgan took Shapiro to task on his CNN show for his insensitive comments, at which Shapiro accused the Piers of hating America by thinking that we’re all just a bunch of homophobes:
Answers Morgan: “I think you might be homophobic simply because you said, why is Jason Collins a hero because he’s gay? Why sneer at a guy for coming out when he’s being courageous?”
Says Shapiro: “I’m Jewish. I wear a yarmulke on TV. There’s a lot of anti-semitism… Being who you are in 2013 in America is what America is about. It is not heroic to be who you are publicly. I’m glad for Jason Collins if he feels that he’s going to live a happier life now. But it does not make you a hero to be who you are.”
I personally can’t stand the sound of Shapiro’s voice. It’s like nails on a chalk board. To think people actually listen to him on the radio and such is difficult to fathom.
UPDATE: After the segment aired, super-star movie stud Chris Evans, who has a gay brother, tweeted this:
New trailer from the James Franco and Chris Evans film, The Iceman!
The film stars Michael Shannon as real life contract killer Richard Kuklinski, who between 1964 and 1986 killed over one hundred people.
Winona Ryder stars as Michael‘s wife who is unaware of her husband’s secret life in this movie based on a true story.
David Schwimmer and Ray Liotta also take part in the flick that is due out in theaters on May 3 of this year.
Who’s excited about the release of the Avengers movie on DVD this coming Tuesday?
Make you sure pre-order now so it’s conveniently delivered to your home and all you have to do is pop in the video machine-y thing and enjoy Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Robert Downey Jr. save the world.
I loved the movie this summer. I thought it had just the right balance of action and humor. Loved the dialogue between the heroes. And they’re not hard to look at either.
My copy in on the way! Love Amazon shopping. It’s like gifts just show up at the door 🙂
Whoo-hoo!
Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Mark Ruffallo in the same movie. Oh yeah…
Watch all the official clips on iTunes.
Going tonight!
I like the dialogue, as only Robert Downey Jr can deliver:
Loki: I have an army
Tony Stark/Iron Man: We’ve got a Hulk
From the YouTube page: Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers” — the Super Hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel Super Heroes Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow.
When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
Starring Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since.
Opens May 4th.
From the article: “He talks about how close he feels to his family, how open they all are with each other. About everything. All the time. “The first time I had sex,” he says, “I raced home and was like, ‘Mom, I just had sex! Where’s the clit?'”
Wait, I ask—did she ever tell you?
“Still don’t know where it is, man,” he says, then breaks into a smile composed of equal parts shit-eating grin and inner peace. “I just don’t know. Make some movies, you don’t have to know…”
Great overview and footage of how Marvel came to assemble these characters for the high-anticipated 2012 movie The Avengers
