"You wouldnt like me when I am Hungry"

I caught this on Saturday



Movies based on comic books are supposed to be the stuff of fantasy. But is it too much to ask for a little believability?
Louis Leterrier's "The Incredible Hulk" is an extravagant, booming picture, and Leterrier has taken great care to deliver one particular element that Lee's picture skimped on: He gives us plenty of opportunities to watch an angry, musclebound green giant smash stuff up.



Anger Management issues that can be simply resolved by the Love of your life calling out your name, Dang it.. this seems like even monsters have a love life.

But Leterrier's Hulk -- like Lee's -- is a CGI creation whose body is a rolling landscape of bulbous muscles and throbbing veins, attached to a face that tells us nothing: Leterrier and his team of CGI elves have worked hard to make the Hulk look "real." They just haven't bothered to make him seem human.

Edward Norton plays Bruce Banner, a scientist who, as the result of an experiment gone haywire, has suffered gamma-radiation poisoning: Now, whenever he becomes angry or overexcited, he's transformed from an essentially low-key, polite man of science into a big, green, pissed-off guy. (Leterrier whisks much of the Hulk's back story out of the way during the opening credits, an economical way of setting up the story for the uninitiated without slowing things down too much for those who already know what they've signed on for.) Banner, knowing he can't fully control his emotions, or his body, has chosen to live in isolation.

I can hear Ross uttering hokkien at the back of my mind, “Cho Lang Kiang tio ho, Mai Kay Kiang”




When the movie opens, he's hiding out in Brazil, working in a soft-drink bottling plant and living in the slumps where there are like 1001 hot looking South American babes. And we often lay in wonder why he is not moved. (Later part of the movie shows us why)And he is definitely a bad cook, so bad that his dog walks away from the food.



There’s this scene with an advisor, a Zen-master type who says things like, "The best way to control your brain is to control your body" while doing weird ripply things with his stomach.

ok.. enuff of spoilers.. go watch the movie and enjoy the sexual tensions in the movie okay.....

70 Minutes Missing From Hulk, Including Captain America?:

We told you a few days ago here that Incredible Hulk director was running around promising a Captain America cameo in his smashing new movie. Well I saw his Hulk Monday night, and if Captain America is in there anywhere, then I sure as hell didn’t see it. I can’t even think of any place where it would have been logical to fit him in… and yes I stayed until well after the credits. There was nothing.

Cinema Blend also has an update to confirm that Captain America was cut out of Hulk

In the case of The Incredible Hulk, it’s meant 70 minutes of casualties. As we told you in our story here, there are a full 70 minutes missing from the movie which will make it onto the DVD.

We speculated earlier that those missing 70 minutes might contain the Captain America cameo director Louis Letterier promised.
