Hey gang, the things that caught my eye recently was a piece about Joss Whedon addressing the 3d post-conversion of The Avengers, that there will more than likely not be a Buffy remake and Lady Gaga showing more appreciation to her fans.

Joss Whedon on The Avengers Post-Conversion to 3D
While we know that Disney is Jonesing to release (and will) Joss Whedon’s movie, The Avengers, in 2D and 3D, which isn’t a surprise, being as how the entire industry is continually trying to shove 3D down the consumers throat. Now I just wish more consumers would speak with their wallets about the issue!
But the website, JoBlo, had caught up with Joss Whedon to chat with him about the 3D release and we learned this from the site:
Whedon knew about the conversion to 3D. CONVERSION? Yep, The Avengers is being post-converted to 3D.
This conversion was on his mind during the entire time while filming The Avengers but he also tried to sooth fan’s nerves by saying that the movie won’t go overboard with the 3D process, meaning that we won’t find ourselves travelling through a tunnel for 20 minutes in any scene just because it’s in 3D.
The Avengers opens in movie theaters on May 4th, 2012.
This is the first 2011 report for new movies & TV on DVD report from Cinema Static on Brusimm and the year opens up with a bang and a whimper actually! On Tuesday, January 4th, 2011 we have over 190 new movies and TV titles coming to DVD and Blu-ray disc. Titles include Robert Rodriguez’sMachete, Dinner for Schmucks starring Steve Carell & HBO’s Big Love.
I personally can’t wait to check out Machete… nope, I haven’t seen it yet, but I will be pretty soon! There are some older movies being released that are peppered in with the new movie releases too… like the new release of the El Mariachi / Desperado (Two-Pack) & such. It almost feels like Antonio Banderas week!
So keep your eyes out and here’s the more interesting releases this week!
