Wow, Chris Evans huh? (Sorry, I'm obviously a bit lagging on this thread!)

Last movie I watched him in was "London". Pretty good movie, he was good in it, but I could never picture him as Cap. Looks like he at least bulked up.

The cover of Empire Magazine will feature this heroic image of Captain America and the issue will include more new images of Chris Evans as the star spangled Avenger. It will also feature quotes from director Joe Johnston and Marvel President Kevin Feige.

Here's what Feige had to say,

Scripts had been developed that took place half in World War Two, half in the modern day and none of those scripts were particularly successful because the costume ended up overshadowing the man. So we finally said, ?If we could make a Captain America movie any way we wanted to make it, how would we make it?? Well, we?d set the entire movie in the past, in that period, with all of the Marvel trimmings. And so we made the fun, kick-ass Captain America movie we wanted to.

Well, that's exactly how I envisioned Captain America being portrayed on film, which is one of the reasons I'm so freakin' excited about this movie. Johnston went on to tell Empire,

I?ve always loved Raiders and the tone that it had. It was period but didn?t feel like it was made in the period. It felt like a modern-day film about the period, which is what we?re doing on Captain America. It will not feel like a war movie. It?s funny where it needs to be and emotional where it needs to be and serious and full of action.

Evans then goes on to to talk about the character he's playing, and how he's not just an American hero,

I think he?s the ideal human, not just American. It?s what being a good person is. Steve?s managed to overcome all the shortcomings he?s had in life and he does what?s good and what he believes is right.

The film also stars, Hugo Weaving, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Haley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Dominic Cooper, Toby Jones and Neal McDonough. The film is set to be unleashed on July 22nd, 2011.

First shot of Bucky and new shots of Hydra soldiers and the Red Skull from a French magazine.

They also talked to to Chris Evans about how many films he'd play as Cap

"To be honest," he says in a quote translated back from French, "it was quite intimidating to commit to nine films in a row. Thankfully, we reduced the number to six... If all goes as planned, I will be playing Captain America until I'm 40."

you seem to be alone then as everyone on superherohype is pretty happy right now. you seemed to be against this movie from the start, why?

I like to be different, I dont ride the hype train on a movie because its a massive well known comic book star. I watched it (a few times actually) and while it looks action packed some of the stuff in it looks kinda corny and lame...Red Skull looks like he's wearing a halloween mask and if the humor at the end is whats going to be in it then they might as well of cast Ryan Reynolds.

Thor looks different on the other hand, directed by a man who knows how to tell a story a long time Shakespearean actor who knows Thor is like a massive play.

Yea I dunno what Rappy is on. I think it looks totally ****ing awesome. Evans is going to be epic. :laugh:

Joking aside. It looks pretty bad. I don't think Skull is brutal I'm kinda glad its not a CGI face. However for its first official trailer this is quite the fail. Just senseless ****. They really should try and tell a story with the trailer, why do we want to see this? I have yet to be convinced this is anything less than the same old trash. I'll go see it since its a new Marvel film and I'm semi looking forward to Avengers, but I can't say I'm eager to see this. Thor on the other hand, very much so. It's first trailer explained what the movie was about in less than 2 minutes. Crappy Cappy, I can't say the same for.

Btw, the reason Rappy dislikes it so much is because they didn't cast Jon Hamm, he would have been perfect. Sure he's a little older, but look what they did to Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy. They could easily make Hamm look slightly younger, no need to overkill like they needed for in Tron. Although having seen the pre-cappy Evans. Their special effects team clearly sucks.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
