Captain America is not a WB TV show...
I think I've read one Captain America comic in my life (from a pack of free comics I got at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown as a kid) wherein he and Falcon fought an evil shapeshifter that was turning into old Cap villains and his evil glider man partner (guy with a giant glider. that was apparently an eeeeeviiiiil glider...) but even so, I'm not sure Captain America should be so shinny and pretty...
Bitchyness aside, and bouncing on the bandwagon myself, Christoph Waltz as Red Skull? The man can play a scary, weirdly funny Nazi (word combos I'm sure we all thought we'd never see before Tarantino..) so why not a truly evil comic book Nazi in a comic book film?
Last night, Craig Ferguson did a slightly radical non-radical thing and devoted the whole hour of the Late Late Show to talking to one guest, Stephen Fry, with no audience. One hour (sadly only one and sadly still with commercial interruptions) of two deeply funny, wise from life, and intelligent men from across the pond sharing ideas, bouncing from topic to topic. Absolutely wonderful. Gushing aside, a point to this? Yeah, with a brief clip of Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland (and a new trailer during the commercials), I'm rather torn as to whether I want to see that movie or not. I love Alice in Wonderland, I love Tim Burton, but why oh why does Tim Burton have to take brilliant actors, a possibly cool looking visual style (as his movies are always great to look at) and do another remake? I'm going gollum over this indecision.
