Apparently, it started with something like “Hey, guys! Let’s make a movie!” Twelve days and a whole boot camp of Shakespeare later, Joss Whedon, according to Whedonesque, has completed principal photography on Much Ado About Nothing. Somehow this was doable, despite being ass deep in The Avengers. Why do you only write and direct movies about superheroes, Mr. Whedon? Apparently, at that sort of pace, you may actually be one.
Nathan Fillion
So now the both of us have caught this wretched head ebola, which means that posting may slow while we lie around looking for mindless entertainment to feed our middle brains while we slowly undergo the process of turning cold medicine into snot… but don’t worry about us, we have a tool for dealing with this. It’s called a screwdriver.
And a likely candidate for tonight’s distraction from our various aches, pains and uncomfortable viscous bubblings is Castle, starring Nathan Fillion, on ABC at 10 p.m. eastern time. It’s not a regular view for us, but ABC is owned by Disney, as is Marvel, and since, purely by coincidence, Marvel’s releasing a Castle graphic novel Wednesday, it seems that tonight’s episode has a distinctly Marvel Comics feel to it, which you can see in the preview after the jump:
