In Space, No One Can Hear You Nerdgasm

Franco:

After watching The Avengers at CoCo's behest (I rather enjoyed the film, mind you) it is now time for me to drag her to watch one of my most highly anticipated summer films: Prometheus. This film serves as a prequel to Alien, one of my most beloved film franchises, and boasts the same director (Ridley Scott) as the seminal film that started my love for the property.

During the trailers (there were about seven!) ahead of The Avengers, CoCo leaned over and whispered that she would like to watch the Alien films ahead of the June 8th Prometheus release. I told her there were four (I do not include those cynical cash grabs aka Alien vs Predator films) and she said we'd have to do one a week. I'm very lucky to have married somebody who would suggest marathoning my most cherished film franchise with me. Although, I did marathon all Harry Potter films with her before #8 hit theaters. That was mostly satisfactory except for #2 and #4 which were quite difficult to stomach. 

Expect detailed reports of our Alien marathon in the weeks to come. I leave you with the great Prometheus teaser trailer.

One more thing: It seems everyone has Avengers fever (I don't blame them. It was pure summer fun akin to the Indiana Jones films of yesteryear) so here's a little funny bit about Batman vs Avengers and the surprisingly forgotten Spider Man too. ha.
