    That's so "ist". Only the girl doesn't have to be funny, and only the girl has to appear intelligent through a telescope, as if someone can prove they are a genius or a dunce from appearance alone.

    Ant-Man info trickling in as expected.

    So in just a few short weeks the leads for Ant-Man should be known to us with certainty!!


    Ant-Man will be filmed in Georgia, USA taking advantage of tax breaks.
    Ant-Man looks to be among the first films shot there as the Georgia location for Pinewood Studios is not nearly done being constructed itself. Supposed to be done early '14.

    Hopefully he can show a clip of the movie on Conan's show.

    Can't wait to see who they cast as Janet Van Dyne.

    Edit: How about MINKA KELLY? She won't cost as much as an established big-screen star like Rachel McAdams, for example.

    (Oh god I can't believe I'm saying this...) TO TALL!

    Oh? She's tiny?

    I think that she only surrounds herself with even tinier people which is why I thought she was some sort of giantess.

    Honestly she always towers above the cast of Saturday Night live.

    It's rumored that Rashida Jones is close to signing for the part.

    She would be fine. She's a close match in age for Rudd.

    I think Pym is supposed to have ten years on Janet.

    But she makes up for her immaturity with incalculable wealth.

    If she was in her very early 20s and Pym was in his mid thirties when he hit her, child abuse (in the 80s) is more understandable than spousal abuse.

    "Sometimes I have to give Janet a slap on the bum to correct her thinking."

    (These pairings were made in the 1960s when everyone took child brides.)

    * Unless you were John Byrne and carried on writing creepy pairings right into the 1990s - indeed, one (Reed and Sue as a young girl) actually got name checked as 'creepy' in the last issue of Fantastic Four.

    Do you mean in the letters column? I saw that, but actually in the story?

    You ever seen Taken?

    Max headroom and that that Snot nose girl from the Blair witch were paired romantically May/October...

    "The day you turned 18, I could not believe how beautiful you were and I knew I had to have you you."

    "Really? What took you so long? I decided I was going to marry you by the time I was 11."
