A look at movies, especially films based on books (Yes that includes comics); Opinions, facts, movie charts, production news and, when possible a look at the movies VS their source material. I may also champion books I've read that really should be movies. I've also used it to display the unedited versions of my blogs for SyFy; (The sci-fi channel UK website.)Feel free to let me know about any stories that you think deserve the big screen treatment.

Marvel Studios’ end credits hero / villain revealed!
Edgar Wright, the excellent director of Spaced, Shaun of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and Scott Pilgrim, has been revealed as the evil genius (for some) or noble hero (for more) behind Marvel Studios’ films increasingly fun extra scenes at the end of their movie, being right back at the end of the Credits! Speaking at the Los Angeles Hero Complex Film Festival, Iron Man director John Favreau stated that the SamuelL Jackson Nick Fury cameo, was originally only about 30 seconds into the credits; but Edgar Wright, who was also in attendance, thought that putting it right at the very end made it more of a fan moment, and basically if you didn’t stay until the end, you didn’t deserve to see it.
Now if the pollthat’s been running on this site is any indicator then most people agree. 62% of voters felt that Marvel Studios should keep their special bonus scenes (or Easter eggs) at the very end, as they have been in Thor,, Iron Man & Iron Man II, as opposed to the end of the movie, as the Incredible Hulk’s Tony Stark Cameo was. Of course as The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man II were filmed and released at close to the same time, then there wasn’t yet a ‘pattern’, plus keeping the scene effectively IN the movie helped when it came to using Robert Downey Jnr’s Stark to promote The Incredible Hulk.
