As you probably already know, this past weekend was Comic-Con 2010 aka The Million Nerd March.  As readers of this site, I’m assuming you are a bunch of Fonzies, so we can talk freely about the Nerdgasms that were had.   Every cast member from The Avengers were announced. Yay! Thor and Captain America footage was shown. Yippee! And everyone got an exciting first look at Cowboys and Aliens. Dirka Dirka! The nerds were beyond themselves over minutes of footage. Whoopie!  Luckily, none of us were swayed as we are too cool for school.

Instead of boring you with a ton of new footage that rolled out from Comic-Con, let’s just get it all out of the way in one swoop. And let’s do it quickly. Below are the three announcements/peeks that actually have me intrigued. Subtle nerdgasms below.

Sucker Punch

Directed by: Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300)

Starring: Emily Browning, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Abbie Cornish,  Carla Gugino, and Jon “Sergio” Hamm.

Synopsis: Sucker Punch is a movie about little girl who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather and lobotomy. She ends up in mental institution and while there she starts to imagine alternative reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is caught by a vile man. Story is set in 1950’s.

Why it might be kinda amazing: Say what you will about 300 or Watchmen. They were both beautifully shot, totally ridiculous, and intriguing at once. Sucker Punch has been described as “Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.” Take that description and watch the trailer below. See if you can withstand the powers of Snyder. It looks like a ton of fun.

Drive Angry

Directed by: Patrick Lussier

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Katy Mixon, and David Morse

Synopsis: A vengeful father chases after the men who killed his daughter

Why it might be kinda amazing: It’s called Drive Angry. And crazy Nic Cage is in it. The only thing that would make this better is an appearance of Mel Gibson taking a leisurely drive through South Central. Now THAT would be some angry driving.

Battle: Los Angeles

Directed by: Jonathan Liebesman

Starring: Michelle Rodriguez, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Pena

Synopsis: A Marine platoon faces off against an alien invasion in Los Angeles (Get it? Battle: Los Angeles)

Why it might be kinda amazing: Described as Black Hawk Down meets Alien. And because 4 seconds of footage (below) has me hot and bothered.
