There’s a new Bruce Banner in town, and now there’s a new Betty Ross.
The new Banner is Ed Norton, whose name I can never hear without thinking of The Honeymooners. Sorry. I just can’t. And the new Betty is familiar to us all: It’s Liv Tyler. (And may I say: Yay. Jennifer Connelly may have talent, but you never would have guessed it had you only seen her in The Hulk.)
Fanboy-friendly Liv Tyler has been signed to play opposite Edward Norton (and a whole lot of CGI) in Louis Leterrier’s “The Incredible Hulk,” which promises a lot more action than the previous entry — and a lot less poodles.
Souces indicate that Bruce Banner and Betty Ross will be sort of estranged at the beginning of the movie, but get back together when all the chases and explosions and giant green transformations become a factor.
Of course, I could not present this without asking a special guest poster, who, ah, told me what to write. (If you’ve never read his review of the Hulk movie, it’s here.)
‘Bout time Hulk got new movie. Stupid orange rock-man have new moving coming out. Hulk beat stupid Thing lots of times. Um, Hulk try to count: One time. One more time. One more time. See? Lots of times. Hulk always beat Rock-man. Hulk is the strongest one there is! Puny humans should make movie about Hulk beating up Thing! Hulk would like to see that! Girl says she would, too.
Hulk does not care about puny Banner. Hulk better have more time in movie than last time. Stupid Banner. Banner is boring. Hulk want to see Hulk on screen. And pretty Betty. But not boring one. Last Betty boring. Girl says new Betty will not be boring. Girl better be right, or Hulk sit on sofa again. Break door, too.
At least we know, now, why the Hulk turns blue – it is all a Viagra commercial.
Um… what?
Blue pills.
I never saw the Hulk movie. I don’t see most movies. Liv Tyler, now she might draw me to the theater.
Why Hulk beat on Thing?
Thing is Jew! I have proof! I have Marvel comic book with orange rock-man saying Sh’ma!
Why Hulk try beat up on orange rock-man? Is him anti-Semite? Or…self-hating Jew?
Maybe Hulk just confused. Yeah. That is story. I stick with that story.
Yeah, everybody asks me why I like Hulk better than the Thing.
Because the Hulk is by far the more interesting character.
His inspiration is the Golem. I think we can make a case for Bruce Banner having Jewish ancestry as well.
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created them both, after all.
Walter, the Hulk doesn’t turn blue. There was a green Hulk, and a grey Hulk, but never a blue Hulk.
