Hey Amazon, um... WHO is the star of The Avengers again? ಠ_ಠ
C'mon, even Paul Bettany would have been a better choice for first in your cast list.

The Avengers bootleg DVD subtitles are inaccurate, hilarious
Or should that be 'The Mega Fighters Of Earth'? Welcome to the hilarious world of Foreigners Translating The English Language Into English Subtitles And Somehow Getting It Horribly Wrong.

The importance of taking regular toilet breaks while Avenging
A photojournal on how vital it is to take regular toilet breaks, especially if you happen to be a superhero saving the world. It's like Nick Fury always says: "Go before we leave the Helicarrier."

Assemble The Avengers for reals with our interactive playset
UPDATE: Now featuring Loki and Agent Coulson! PHIL!

We saw The Avengers. We loved The Avengers. So what better way to express our gratitude for Joss Whedon's love letter to geeks everywhere than locking ourselves in a room all Sunday with nothing but a tub of biscuits for company, and working on a geeky little project of our own? Although to be fair, the biscuit thing would've happened anyway.

Interview: Clark Gregg

Interview: Clark Gregg
Here's my final Avengers cast interview and it's fair to say that I've saved the big guns 'til last: Agent Coulson. It turns out that Clark Gregg who plays him is a massive comic-book geek who is happy to talk forever on the subject. It made for a great talk, but it was a bastard to transcribe. So please try to enjoy this twice as much to make it all worthwhile.

Interview: Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo
Another day in the run up to Avengers Assemble being released in cinemas, another opportunity for me to milk my interviews with the cast. This time it’s Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, who played Thor and the Hulk respectively. Coincidentally, it turns out that they do NOT like being addressed as either ‘Thor’ or ‘Hulk’ when being asked a question. Lesson learned.

The story of Iron Man's receding hairline: a photo journal
Have you ever noticed that Iron Man has a receding hairline? Even though he's just a metallic exo-skeleton? You'd have thought Tony Stark would have given his superhero alter-ego a virile head of robo-hair.

Interview: Tom Hiddleston
Following yesterday’s interview with Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner, my ongoing Avengers boast-fest continues with Tom Hiddleston, star villain of the Marvel cineverse and thoroughly nice chap.

Interview: Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner
Somehow, thanks to what I can only presume was some oversight in the security details for the cast of Avengers Assemble, I was allowed within dry-humping distance of the stars to ask them some questions about the film. I’ll be posting them all over the next few days, but firstly, here’s my interview with Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. Thank god I remembered to muffle my ankle bracelet that morning.

Six best moments at the Avengers Assemble press conference
JOURNALISTS ASSEMBLE! I had the pleasure of joining half of the media in the UK in attending the biggest press conference ever seen in Britain. Probably. It was pretty big. At one point there was a biscuit shortage.
