Subj: An update on me and why Whedon is awesome for directing the Avengers...

Hey folks,

So I survived the hell of 3 overlapping assignments (got 'em down to just one now) and life is looking more manageable. Of course, last week also saw my grandmother (who I help look after) going into the hospital for congestive heart failure and my aunt (who is the primary one to look after her) totaling her car via a deer in the road, so I became the main method of transferring people to the hospital for visiting for a while. Oh, and yesterday I learned how to give my dog fluids through an I.V. drip, which I'll apparently be doing every other day for the time being... so the little emergencies kind of added up as well.

Still, I think everyone is pulling through now, and things may be returning to normal. Amazon even finally delivered my copy of the next Robin Hood book, so it now sits here mocking my inability to find time to read it.

I'm going to try not to be such a stranger, and if I can do so I'll dig up something to post on the board now and then as well. For starters, here's a little snippet from an interview with SFX Magazine that Joss Whedon recently did regarding the big Avengers film.


QUESTION: We’re missing such classic Avengers characters as the Scarlet Witch and The Vision from this line-up. Are there other Avengers you’d love to bring to the screen?

WHEDON: “A boatload. Pretty much everyone but Wonder Man. I never did figure out what he was for.”



I knew I liked the guy...
