Nine scenes in all lasting 9 minutes and 14 seconds. The Looking Back extra (presumably the Joss and cast roundtable feature) lasts 15 minutes 36 seconds. And the Outtakes extra is over 5 minutes long.

Note that this is for the R2 DVD, but there's no reason to suppose that it won't be the same for other regions.

To be featured as a Blu-ray exclusive for the October 12th release of Lost Boys: The Thirst. You heard me.

The linked page also includes an embedded trailer for the film. My personal opinion? Compared to the disgustingly lazy and sloppy previous installment, this film actually looks kind of fun, possibly even decent. We'll see, or at least I will.

With this, The Expendables and The Fast & The Furious 5, Charisma is everywhere these days. I'm sure we can at least agree that's not a bad thing.

Ruffalo's take on being cast in The Avengers and what it means to him. He's definitely got the right attitude.

More specifically: "More Joss Whedon, Dammit! *cries*" is the option, so far we're coming in behind Disney/Pixar, 2 days to vote.

Pretty interesting article on Ropeofsilicon.com about whether comic book movies can withstand audience fatigue at the cinema. Article contains references to Serenity and Buffy/Angel too.

I like how the author compared the superhero genre to westerns considering how much of the tropes of those genres were incorporated into Buffy and Firefly.
