I'm thinking there's a casting director or two out there that needs to get laid off.

I was kinda hoping Jim Caviezel would get cast as Iron Man/Tony Stark, simply because he looks like Stark (tall, dark haired, just needs a mustache/goatee) but oh well.
Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Anyway, I am of course looking forward to the Iron Man movie, though not as much as I am Spiderman 3 and The Dark Knight.

I was one of the many fans who wanted Caviezel to be Superman, and figured if he couldn't be Superman, maybe he could at least get in on a lesser hero. I know Caviezel would have made a better Superman than Brandon Routh. If you're gonna try to pass Superman off as a pop Jesus, who better to cast than a guy who played Jesus? Besides that, Superman should have been played by an older guy since he was missing for like 5 years and should have looked old enough to have prior experience as Superman.
Don't know if Iron Man stands a chance against Spider-Man 3 and Dark Knight, but I'll be there in the front row to see it.

One too many 'i's in there, mate!
There's no way that 'A' stands for Australia! Survey any average Aussie on the street and ask them who their favourite superhero is - most of the responses will be the usual - Batman, Spiderman, Superman, maybe even Daredevil or Green Lantern, but I guarantee you, Ol' Cap won't even spring to mind.
I know you were just joking and all, I just find it interesting how third-tier Captain America is over here compared with his status in his homeland. I'm not sure I've even seen a single comic or trade dedicated solely to the Cap in my local comic store...I've definitely played the videogame though (Captain America and the Avengers on Megadrive).

How about the original Dark Horse "The Mask" comic books that inspired the film anyone read them? I never read them myself, but from what I've read on the net, the original Mask comic books were very different from the film. The comics were originally of a much darker and more macabre nature, albeit dark/macabre with a sense of humor, as the Mask drove whoever wore it insane with absurdly comically violent results. In the first few issues, the Stanley Ipkiss character (played by Jim Carrey in the film) is presented as a neurotic loser who buys the mask from a store as a birthday present for his girlfriend, Kathy; when he tries the mask on, it turns him into the familiar green headed character and he goes on a killing spree, massacring various people for petty grudges, such as the garage owners who constantly overcharge him. The news people in the Mask series actually call him "Big Head". After a while, the Mask starts to take an emotional toll on Stanley; he begins verbally abusing Kathy, and she kicks him out of their home; he breaks in to steal the mask and she shoots him in the back, after realizing that he was "Big Head". Kathy then took the Mask to policeman Lt. Kellaway and told him what happened to Stanley, but he doesn't believe he story and tries the mask on as a gag, and in turn he becomes "Big Head"; Kellaway initially means to use the mask to fight evil, but eventually realizes that he can't control the mask and he buries it with Stanely Ipkiss's corpse. However, the Mask would resurface and the main theme of the mask comics after that was the mask being passed around various locations, worn by different people and resulting in lots of chaos and mayhem.
When the Mask film was being made in 1994, the original idea was to do it as a more of a horror movie, albeit one with a sense of humor, but when Jim Carrey was asked to play Stanley Ipkiss, the film was rewritten to be a comedy vehicle suited to his particular schtick.

He was amazing. Both Lee and Smith were very funny, and Stan Lee had great anecdotes about the early days of comics in the 40's and the birth of super-hero comics at Marvel in the 60's. Good stuff.

Ultimate Fantastic Four wasn't too bad in the beginning, but by issue 25, it was pretty much right back to where the original comic series was, as in they have acquired all their signature technology (Fantasticar, H.E.R.B.I.E., suits, you name it). Check it out, but don't expect to be floored.
Ultimate X-Men also has a few interesting arcs, like "Cry Wolf", that one with Mr. Sinister, "World Tour" (and the issue after that with Prof X leaving) and "Blockbuster", which is basically a non-stop Wolverine beatdown for six issues. All in all, though, it's kind of goofy. There are a couple stories ("Phoenix", "Fire and Brimstone") which are just plain silly.
Ultimate Spider-Man is interesting enough (and has enough plot twists) to satisfy anyone. The "Hobgoblin" or Black Cat/Mary Jane depression arcs are pretty good stories.
