Things We Saw Today: Character Actors Looking Different on the Sets of Superhero Movies

Item one in this correlation: Paul Giamatti doing some pre-post-production work to play the Rhino on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. (Comics at the Movies)

• Alanna Bennett, a writer for the Mary Sue two summers in a row, is graduating from college today! That’s not really a news item, we just want to give her a shout out. Congrats, Alanna!
• Speaking of graduations, Joss Whedon wants us to know that we’re all going to die. (io9)
• The French film Blue, based on a graphic novel, is becoming a controversial hit at Cannes. (MovieBob)
• Collectors Weekly has a very interesting post up about the relatively unknown women who made a living painting pinups in the WWII era.

Second item in correlation: Peter Dinklage and a moustache on the set of X-Men First Class. There’s no official word on who Dinklage will be playing, but Bolivar Trask, inventor of the Sentinels, and the mutant hero Puck have both been raised as ideas. (io9)

Susana Polo thought she'd get her Creative Writing degree from Oberlin, work a crap job, and fake it until she made it into comics. Instead she stumbled into a great job: founding and running this very website (she's Editor at Large now, very fancy). She's spoken at events like Geek Girl Con, New York Comic Con, and Comic Book City Con, wants to get a Batwoman tattoo and write a graphic novel, and one of her canine teeth is in backwards.
