There's a
new teaser out for Joss Whedon's
The Avengers movie, and yes that means it's an advertisement for an advertisement. Whedon also revealed that there will be no Spider-Man cameo in the movie, which suits me just fine.
A new trailer for
The Cold Light of Day looks quite interesting, starring
Bruce Willis,
Sigourney Weaver, and the new
Man of Steel himself,
Henry Cavill. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one later this year.
We got ourselves a new fryer and we may give it a test run this weekend to see if the charcoal filter actually works. Then maybe the house won't smell like fries for two days afterward.
