Fanboys Anonymous

Welcome to another edition of WEEK IN GEEK here at Fanboys Anonymous—a rundown of some of the events, news and stories that went down over the past few days in the geek culture spectrum.


Here are some of the topics I felt like voicing my opinions about:

Joss Whedon for Fantastic Four?

Rumor going around is that Joss Whedon may have something to do with Fantastic Four; he may possibly even helm the film.

Brad Pitt was almost Big Daddy

Apparently, the original intention for casting Big Daddy in Kick-Ass was to go with Brad Pitt, as opposed to Nicolas Cage. As much as I think Pitt is an awesome actor, I think it's actually better off with Cage. He brings a different type of feel to it that Pitt wouldn't have.

Also, people wanted to make Hit-Girl a 25-year-old??? The whole point of the character is how young she is!!!

San Diego Comic Con 2020 Cancelled

We all knew this was coming. I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. It blows, of course, even though I had no plans at all to attend. What I'd love to see is some sort of digital equivalent of it. They can do some live stream stuff, maybe.

Opening Up America Again: Phase One - Movie Theaters??

So the current game plan, which could change at any moment, of course, is to have gyms and movie theaters as part of the first phase of opening America back to public gatherings? Before schools and such? Look, I want movies back so, so much, but I don't know how you can justify that.
