HA!
Thanks for the laugh, Anthony Strand! And it's so true-- Avenue Q really does point out how pretentious and condescending stuff like CRASH is.

"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."

I'm glad to have more Cheadle and less Howard, whatever the movie.

I like the choices made by Marvel when it comes to the casting for their films, add the Brannagh involvement for Thor...

I wait for the Captain America choice certainly the more difficult one.

And I have always heard that Special Forces troops tend to be smaller than average because of the emphasis on speed, stealth and stamina. (I read a lot of military fiction and non-fiction.)

Bwah. Very nice.

I wants me some FFFoom next time. They'll have the budget to justify it.

They're both Academy Award Nominees:)

I'd rather the continuation of actors between movies...but Don Cheadle is one of my favorite actors ever so, I'm good either way:)

I think that Howard is shaped more like Jim Rhodes though.

Probably won't matter, but I hope all parties have parted under decent terms.

Not really, but Howard looked like someone who could believably be a military man. Cheadle is a bit scrawnier then I’d expect (even if he is Air Force).

I don't really think bulkiness is all that necessary to be a military man.

Eh. Billy Dee Williams was Harvey Dent in the two Burton Batman movies. Then Tommy Lee Jones was Two-Face. Most people didn’t blink.

I'm suirprised you didn't mention the more prominent switcheroo example from those 3 movies of replacing Michael Keaton with Val Kilmer.

Not really, but Howard looked like someone who could believably be a military man. Cheadle is a bit scrawnier then I'd expect (even if he is Air Force).

Not that it will prevent me from enjoying Cheadle in the role, but I can see it throwing the audience off a bit that not only is it a different actor but one that other then skin color (and not even then really) the two actors have almost nothing in common, not face, nor voice nor size nor shape of their body.
