May 6th will be here before we know it, but until then we’ll have new trailers like this and movie toys to keep us busy. I may or may not show up to a midnight screening here in Indy sporting a helmet and foam hammer. Only time will tell.

The trailer has some new bits involving Frost Giants and a little more screen time for Loki. In related news, MTV sat down with Thor director Kenneth Branagh and he revealed some details on the Frost Giants and the Destroyer, the metal monster that’s seen reeking havoc in the trailers.

“The story involves a clash with an ice planet and the frost giants who live therein. They — as might be suggested by the name — are enormous creatures of incredible power who have been robbed of their power and glory by Odin, Thor’s father,” he continued. “What fuels a lot of this intense battle is revenge. This is an angry race, trying to get back at Thor and the Asgardians, the self-proclaimed guardians of the universe.”

Head over to MTV to read the rest.

I would die to own any of these, but that 'Jurassic Park' inspired shirt would get worn every day. Gladly excepting donations.

Shane Black in Contention to Write and Direct ‘Iron Man 3’ BREAK Black wrote 'The Monster Squad' as well as a bunch of 'Lethal Weapon' movies, but still, Iron Man without Jon Favreau? What do you think?

Meet Buck is an animated short film by a group of students from the French school Supinfocom. It’s CG but has a wonderful painterly look, and it’s full of energy. What happens when the daughter of a hunter brings home her buck boyfriend to meet her Dad?

It’s official, the Spider-Man reboot is going to be called The Amazing Spider-Man. Marvel announced the title along with a brand new image of the costume, this time complete with the mask. I think it looks great, and I hope the film can match the lighting and mood these photos have had. This costume and the thought of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker is making me very excited to see what this movie has to offer.

Here’s the full press release:

No, seriously – it’s today.

You didn’t get him/her/it anything yet!?

Quick, Robin! To the internet!

Thankfully, Andertoons is here to save the day with these awesome Super Friends Valentines from 1980. If you really love him/her/it, you’ll take the time to put together some of the “Action Valentines”, like the spinning wheels on Batwoman’s motorcycle, Plastic Man’s long, stretchy *ahem* neck, and Aquaman…coming out of…an oyster…shell…for some odd reason. Wow, you really are lame, aren’t you, buddy?
