HARP Refinance – Home Affordable Program FAQ #1
HARP Refinance – Home Affordable FAQ
There's a lot of confusion about the HARP 2.0 Refinance program. Your big four bank might tell you one thing and a professionally licensed mortgage lender might tell you another.
Who is right? It depends on your situation, but for the most part your big bank is desperate to keep you. They are not happy that the Home Affordable Refinance has been opened to all mortgage professionals.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised it was. Nearly every change in the mortgage / real estate industry in the past few years has been big bank lobby based. They have done absolutely everything in their power to destroy choice and steer you to them.
In the process they have practically ruined the housing market. Go big 4, much appreciated. The only way to make your product attractive was to attempt to make everyone else suck as bad as you do.
You failed.
HARP 2.0 opens things up. You are not stuck with your servicer, the ridiculous turn times or there untrained loan officers. They hate that.
Need a HARP 2.0 Refinance Quote?
What is a HARP 2.0 Refinance?
- The HARP Refinance program is a mortgage refinance program designed to assist underwater homeowner's with conforming / conventional home mortgages refinance.
- Created in 2009, the original HARP program had too many restrictions. Including adjustments to interest rate for loan to value , LTV caps and limitations to your current mortgage servicer, HARP 1.0 need an overhaul.
How Do I Qualify For a HARP Refinance?
- Your mortgage loan must have been originated before June 1, 2009
- Your loan must be owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac - Not showing up? Fannie and Freddie make mistakes and their HARP search is pretty fickle. We can always call for you. Just let us know.
- No mortgage lates in the past 6 months and only ONE mortgage late payment in the past year.
- Your HARP Refinance must have tangible benefit. Don't worry about the sharks, if you aren't meeting the HARP program benefit requirements then you're not going to get your refinance through underwriting.
My Current Mortgage Lender Says I Need to Use Them for My HARP Refinance. Is That True?
Nope, you can finally dump your bank. HARP 2.0 is available to all mortgage lenders, you can actually use your preferred lender. HARP experts with the right set-up will have multiple outlets. That means that you have options.
With options, you can choose the right combination of interest rate, turn time, closing costs and guidelines that fit YOUR personal situation.
I spent 3 years a big bank. When we did HARP loans, we were REQUIRED to lock for 90 days. We were encourage to wait 30 days into the HARP process before we locked the loan. The average time from application to closing was 120 days.
They didn't need to provide any level of customer service, you were stuck. You wanted a HARP loan, you needed them.
Now, they are stuck. Now their absurd turn times, loan officers that don't respond, underwriting whims and overall lack of respect for their customers will result in customers FIRING that mega-bank.
Ready to FIRE Your Bank? Do It!
Does a HARP Refinance Have Closing Costs?
People don't work for free, of course a HARP refinance has closing costs. It's a mortgage, you need a title agent / closing attorney. People have to process the loan and lenders have to underwrite the loan as well.
You don't have the money to pay closing costs? Welcome to the economy. Not an issue, you have options.
When you refinance every loan officer should present you with multiple options. You should get a NO COST HARP refinance option, a LOW COST HARP refinance option and a FULL COST HARP refinance option.
As you may know, nothing is actually free. The lower your closing costs the higher your rate. It may only be .25 different then the other Home Affordable Options, but to do a no cost refinance the lender needs to cover the costs via premium pricing. Premium pricing is just a fancy term for using the profit from a higher rate to lender pay closing costs.
Does that mean that a NO COST HARP refinance is a scam? Absolutely not, premium pricing is a common way to price a no cost refinance.
Get a loan officer that provides options, review the options and decide the best option for you.
We are just cracking the surface of HARP 2.0, stay tuned for more FAQ's and detailed Home Affordable Refinance info!

Rancho Cordova's VSP Global was recognized as one of the nation's top 100 job-creating companies by Inc. magazine last week. VSP was one of a number of California firms to make the business publication's list.
Inc.'s inaugural Hire Power Awards mark "the job creators who are restoring lives and rebuilding the economy by putting Americans back to work."
The awards shine a light on companies that continued to hire during the recession's dark days: The top 100 firms combined to create more than 73,000 jobs from 2008 through 2011, according to Inc.
That's "an amazing feat, given that much of that job growth came during the heart of the recession," Inc. Editor-in-Chief Eric Schurenberg said in announcing the list.
VSP created 943 jobs from 2008 through 2011, good for 11th on the list.
The eye-care insurer, with some 2,100 people on the payroll, is one of the Sacramento area's largest employers and has long been a key player in the region.
"They're a great asset to California. They're a very quality organization," said Leslie McBride, a deputy director at the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. "They recognize the value of the workforce and recognize that quality of life is important to the workforce."
Along with VSP, corporate California was well-represented on Inc.'s list, with four entries in the top 10. The No. 1 company was Santa Ana's Universal Services of America, a janitorial and security firm, with Irvine's Pacific Dental Services at No. 4 and San Mateo clean energy firm SolarCity at No. 10. The three companies created 19,770 jobs among them.
In all, California firms that made the list created more than 25,500 jobs.
State business development officials, often in the role of combating assertions that California is hostile to business and awash in regulation, were quick to pounce on Inc.'s report.
State officials readily cite the creation of 295,000 private-sector jobs in California from October 2011 to October 2012 a 2.1 percent annual growth rate that outpaces the national average.
"The facts speak for themselves. We're adding more jobs than the rest of the country," said McBride, citing the state's diverse industry mix, skilled workforce, quality of life and strong university system.
No fewer than 10 industries are represented by California firms that made the magazine's list.
Meanwhile, VSP continues to expand its reach globally. The not-for-profit company is a nearly $4 billion enterprise with an international eyewear market and insures millions who are enrolled in one of the nation's largest vision benefit plans.
"VSP Global is growing both within the U.S. and globally, in order to meet the demands of our clients and members," said Shauna Harrington, workforce development director at VSP Global.
The company in October announced plans to add some 400 jobs after settling a dispute with state officials that led to talk of the firm leaving Rancho Cordova.
VSP is in the midst of hiring an initial 150 workers in information technology, marketing, financial analysis and other specialties.

One of two big developments in Davenport is moving forward, after nearly three-dozen residents laid out pros and cons for nearly three hours Wednesday night.
Both proposed projects would fill in buildings that have sat empty for years, K'sMerchandise at Kimberly and Marquette, and the Dock Restaurant along the riverfront. Many say they have been eyesores and targets for vandals for too long, but have been unable to agree on what should happen next. That changed when city leaders gave the green light to a new Dock project.
It's been controversial and the subject of heated debate. While some want to leave the riverfront pristine, others want to replace the old restaurant lost to fire years ago, but are conflicted about this new project. It's an 85-thousand square foot building with retail and restaurants on the first floor, office space on 2 and 3, and banquet space on four, costing 24-million-dollars. Some are concerned it's just too big, will block river views and doesn't fit in with the river vision plan.
Molly Newell told the council, "A glass palace was not what we were thinking about last time we sat down and looked at Rivervision." But Developer Todd Raufeisen says, "We responded to an rfp. We won the rfp, We spent over one year, hundreds of man hours, 150 thousand dollars of our cash, designing and going through due diligence of this project."
Something Alderman Bill Boom says the council appreciates. "We did not tear down the Dock for a specific reason in my mind, and that's that we wanted to have something down there." He says that will encourage people to come and stay and enjoy the river. Aldermen moved this forward unanimously. The development agreement, contingent on approval of final design, height and building materials as incorporated into the Rivervision plan. And an economic development agreement moves forward too. The city is expecting to TIF nearly 6-million dollars over 15 years.
The other development on the agenda got twice as much discussion, but the potential developer of the old K's Merchandise site, Murray's Warehousing, did not fare so well. Aldermen listened to more than a dozen neighbors who say it's just wasn't the right fit.
Ann Condon tells us, "I've been here a little over a year, but this all used to be my backyard. And the house on the other side of this one being built, that was our house for 33 years and this was all our backyard." Condon says she doesn't want a warehouse in that backyard. She doesn't want semis rolling through her neighborhood to get to it. And she's not the only homeowner concerned about those big trucks.
Twenty people got up to speak to the council, talking traffic and safety when it comes to children at nearby schools,and concerned about noise. Most telling us they don't have a problem with the developer, just with the project at this location, even with Chamber of Commerce numbers showing the warehouse would bring more than 10 million dollars to the city over three years, along with 40 jobs.
And as property owner Zack Sottos explained, re-zoning this and bringing a warehouse would go a long way toward infill. "Retail's moved on to 53rd and Utica Ridge and Elmore. Mr. Murray has come up with an adaptive use of an existing vacant building." One the council ultimately decided was not appropriate for this site.
At the same time, aldermen directed city staffers to work toward finding a tenant for the building and to help the company that would have moved in, Murray's Warehousing, find a new space.

What does it mean when they knock their food bowl over?
This isn't a big issue, but I'm kinda curious as I still have a lot to learn about dog behavior -
Every now and then Kevin knocks his food bowl (with food in it) over. He'll walk over to it, sniff it a bit, nudge the bowl a couple of times with his nose (at which point I stop him if I am there), and then will knock the bowl over. I think this tends to happen if he's got a bowl full of just kibble, with no sardine or egg or anything mixed in, and I do think it tends to happen (although maybe this is confirmation bias) after he has recently had a meal where he did get a special treat mixed in with the kibble.
Is this behavior as straightforward as it seems - He's seeing a bowl of plain kibble and complaining about it? Or is there some reason a dog might do this?

That's what it sounds like to me. He's being picky, searching for the "good stuff" instead of eating what's on top. To minimize this behavior you might have to stop putting goodies in with his kibble, and feed those things separately away from his food bowl when want to give him something extra.

Not sure what kind of bowl you're using or how old Kevin is but both my girls went through a phase when they were about 4-5mths old where they were scared of their own reflection in the stainless steel bowls so either wouldn't go near it or would tip all the food out, we switched to plastic for a while and they were fine.
BUT when they were tipping out the stainless, they did that every mealtime for a week - regardless of whether there was something special in there or not so I'd say you're probably right - you've got yourself one clever boy who's just nosing for the good stuff =D

LOL! I'm with Kevin! What were you THINKING put that plain kibble down there without something decent on top? What if you had to eat plain, dry kibble?
That is so cute. Annoying, no doubt, but very cute.

Lily will flip her bowl and then push the bowl over the kibble bits. To me, its like she is hiding it from Buster and saving it for later. Usually she will eat it a few hours later.
I think it's more of a "burying the food" thing for Lily.

I don't think it really has anything to do with "complaining" that the food is plain kibble
This sort of thing is done by many dogs - including raw fed ones (who never get plain kibble). However, it probably is fair to say that it will happen most often with a low-value meal - so to that extent, then yes, the fact that the meal is plain kibble and not spiced up with something does play its part.
In saying the above, I would equate tipping up the food bowl with burying food. Of course, I can't see how your dog is tipping up the bowl, but very often it is a case of the dog upending the bowl on top of his food. In this event, you generally find that the dog doesn't want to eat the food NOW, but he does want to protect it for eating later.
What you have to figure is that there is an underlying reason for the dog not eating his food. Usually, it is either that the dog just isn't hungry (which generally means he's being overfed) or else he isn't feeling very well. In my experience, the problem is usually overfeeding (or at least, that's been the problem when my own dog has done this). When I cut back his food a little bit, then the burying of food thing goes away. Do you think this could perhaps also be the problem with your guy?
The fact that he would eat if you gave him something special isn't a surprise. That's just natural - if you were offered something especially tasty you might very well accept it even if you weren't hungry (most of us do
). But having done so, you probably are going to eat less at your next meal, or even delay having that meal - especially if it's a bit boring or something you get often. Weeelll - I think there is a strong possibility that this is what your dog is doing also. He isn't just turning up his nose at the food - if that was the intent, he'd just look at it and walk away. Turning over the food bowl is more indicative of a dog that does want to keep the food, but just doesn't want to eat it right now. I think it is well worth looking at the amount of food overall that he is getting, and trimming it back a little (check treats also). That doesn't mean he can't have extras added to his meals (especially if they're healthy extras), just that the overall volume should be a little less. You may very well find that that solves the problem
Not sure, or just haven't read them? Read the

Hmmm, I hadn't thought that he might be "saving" the food for later, but I guess it makes sense. I've been feeding a bit less than the guidelines on the bag of food (about 3 1/2 cups a day, guideline calls for 4, and he gets an egg or a sardine once every 2 or 3 days) and was hesitant to think he was overfed (he still looks like a greyhound), but his behavior in general would fit with that, I think. And he has outgrown his food (Wellness Large Breed Puppy, he just turned one so this is his last bag of that before switching to adult formula, or perhaps Orijen or TOTW). Perhaps its time to cut back to 3 or even 2.5 cups with an egg or a sardine thrown in every other day.
He's definitely had way too many treats this week, since he's a birthday pup. My girlfriend (who spoils him) was in town this weekend, and brought him a CAKE! A dog cake! I didn't know such a thing existed! I wish I had a picture... but this is a full on double layer iced (well, covered in something that looks like icing) and decorated cake for a dog! It's ridiculous. Kevin was very excited. There are still leftovers. Perhaps knocking over his food is his way of saying "Hey Dad, life is short, lets eat dessert first.".

Koda will flip his bowl when he is still hungry or just because....he cracks me up. There are times, if I don't pick up his bowl shortly after he is done eating, he will flip it and flip it and flip. Then if I am busy doing something, he decides he is going to carry his bowl to where ever I am at and flip it some more.
The other day, he ate then decided to flip his bowl a few times. We were watching a movie so I didn't get right up and take his bowl away. I knew he wasn't hungry because I actually had given them extra that night. He brings his bowl into the living room, lays down on his bed, and begins to lick the inside of his bowl like he is trying to get every last bit of food possible. My husband and I died laughing.
They can be soooo dramatic sometimes!

I dont know if this is what your pup is doing, but when my dog flips his bowl over with food in it... its because he is experiencing a bit of nausea. He only does this when he has an upset tummy and the smell of food makes him sick
hopefully thats not what your dog is doing.

Ok, I think I can confirm that Lily flips the bowl to hide it or save it for later. Last night, Buster kept sniffing at her bowl and she wasn't ready to eat it...............but GOD FORBID Buster should get any of it!
Soooooo, instead of flipping her bowl this time (Buster will nibble on the bits that are NOT sufficiently hidden)..............she pushed her bowl 5 ft until it was under the living room chair where Buster can't get it. How Lily was going to later, is questionable, but I'm sure she didn't think of THAT at the time. She layed herself beside that chair then and wouldn't let Buster near it.
An hour later came the whines..............she was laying down with her head under that chair, stretching her tongue as far as it would go..........only to be able to narily lick the edge of the bowl. Then one look and a very sad woo-woo and Mommy rescued the bowl from under that chair and with a few kisses and a spinning-wiggle........she bellied up and finished her dinner.

I made this dress using Butterick B6582
I wore it to a 50's themed baby shower at a drag queen show (that's right)!
I followed the pattern exactly and used my measurements. It was way too big. I had to tighten at arms, waist, and bust. Waist was the biggest, I think I had to take it in about 3 inches.
I made the belt with a simple bow and added 2 sew on snaps.
I styled with a tea length petticoat, nude pumps, pearls, and a beehive. I put a little bow into my beehive at the last minute.
This also double great as a Stepford wife costume.
Stretch sateen green and white floral print (it was very thick) I recommend something thinner as I was sweating under all that and the petticoat in Florida's heat. I got this from Joann's

(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves are one victory away from punching their ticket to the 2012 postseason.
Winning games just happens to be Kris Medlen's specialty.
The Braves have won Medlen's past 21 starts, a run that dates back to the 2010 season, and hope to keep that streak intact tonight in the first of three straight games against the visiting Miami Marlins.
Atlanta blew an 8 1/2-game lead a season ago in the wild card race and missed out on the postseason thanks to a stunning collapse. There has been no such repeat this September, with the Braves having won seven of their last nine and 14 of 21 this month.
A 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday lowered the Braves' magic number to clinching a wild card spot to just two and that number was lowered to one on Monday when the Milwaukee Brewers dropped a decision to the Washington Nationals.
Atlanta trails Washington by five games for first place in the NL East with nine to play.
The Braves have the right man to get the job done tonight in Medlen, who has gone 8-0 with a 0.76 earned run average in 10 games since being inserted into the starting rotation. He has yielded just six earned runs over 70 2/3 innings in that time while striking out 72.
The righty is coming off a win over the Marlins on Wednesday as he scattered four hits over eight scoreless innings, walking one and fanning six. He improved to 9-1 with a save and 1.51 earned run average in 48 total appearances this season, having not lost since a May 26 relief outing versus the Nats.
Atlanta, meanwhile, hasn't lost a game that Medlen has started since May 23, 2010. The Braves' 21 straight victories with the 26-year-old on the mound is the longest in baseball since the New York Yankees won 22 straight starts made by Whitey Ford in 1950 and '53. Ford missed the '51 and '52 seasons for military service.
Medlen, who is 2-0 with a 0.53 ERA in four games (2 starts) versus the Marlins this season, was moved up a day to put him on regular rest for a potential one-game playoff on Oct. 5.
The Marlins will start 22-year-old Nathan Eovaldi, who is 4-12 with a 4.36 ERA in 20 games this season split between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami. He is 3-6 with a 4.59 ERA in 10 starts since getting traded to the Marlins and lost four straight starts before getting a no-decision versus the Braves on Tuesday.
Milwaukee at Cincinnati
(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers enter tonight's opener of a three- game series against Cincinnati hoping that the Reds are already looking toward the postseason.
The Brewers sit 3 1/2 games back of the St. Louis Cardinals for the second wild card spot in the National League with nine games to play, one more than the Cards have left. They hope to make up some ground tonight after a 12-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Monday.
Milwaukee was undone by a six-run fourth inning by the Nats and it proved more costly when the Cardinals beat the Houston Astros on Monday.
Milwaukee lost for just the second time in nine games, but figures to have to play near perfect down the stretch as it does not have another regular-season meeting scheduled with St. Louis.
The Brewers hope that the Reds opt for some rest in preparation for the playoffs as they locked up the NL Central on Saturday. Cincinnati then lost a 5-3 decision to the Los Angeles Dodgers the following day to conclude a three- game series.
Johnny Cueto takes the hill for the Reds looking to round into form before the playoffs. The Brewers counter with 27-year-old rookie Mike Fiers, who lasted only three innings in his most recent start on Thursday at the Pittsburgh Pirates. He needed 81 pitches and yielded three runs on five hits and a walk.
St. Louis at Houston
(Sports Network) - Left-hander Jaime Garcia can get the St. Louis Cardinals another step closer to the playoffs this evening when they meet the Houston Astros in the middle contest of a three-game series at Minute Maid Park.
The Cardinals enter the game with a 3 1/2-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers in the race for the National League's second wild card spot.
St. Louis earned a wild card berth in 2011 en route to the World Series title.
For Houston, right-hander Lucas Harrell tries again for his first win in more than a month.
The 27-year-old was 10-8 on the year after a 10-1 defeat of the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 14, but has since gone 0-2 in six starts, including a 5-0 loss to the Cardinals on Sept. 19.
He allowed three earned runs on five hits in 5 2/3 innings against St. Louis, dropping his career record against the Cardinals to 2-2 in five appearances.
Harrell is 6-2 in 12 home starts in 2012.
LA Dodgers at San Diego
(Sports Network) - Like a sunset on the West Coast, time is running out on the Los Angeles Dodgers and their quest for the postseason.
With nine games remaining in the regular season, the Dodgers are 3 1/2 games off the final wild card berth in the National League and will open a three- game series tonight against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
Los Angeles will turn to Josh Beckett for tonight's series opener and he is 1-2 with a 3.45 earned run average in five starts since coming over via trade from Boston. Beckett has posted back-to-back no-decisions and was touched for four runs -- three earned -- and five hits in seven innings of a 7-6 win Wednesday at Washington.
San Diego's chances of reaching the postseason have faded even though the club has played much better since the All-Star break.
The Padres salvaged the finale of a three-game series at San Francisco with Sunday's 6-4 win, as Mark Kotsay homered, Yonder Alonso drove in two runs and Everth Cabrera went 4-for-4 with a pair of runs scored.
San Diego is kicking off a six-game homestand versus Los Angeles and San Francisco tonight, and will hand the ball to Edinson Volquez. Volquez had won three of four starts until facing Arizona on the road in a 6-2 setback on Wednesday and allowed four runs in six innings to absorb the loss.

"Worth It - But Be Smart About Where..."
I have done IPL on my face 3 times now. Once in Mexico City for $30, once at a spa chain for $200+, and once at a doctor's office for $150.
I have had good results with IPL. The $30 experience was a little too quick and I didn't notice any difference afterwards.
My second experience was the most expensive but I was very pleased to see dark pigment from some moles on my face... more

How come they don't make a habit of putting the panels on the interweb?

I'm guessing because they're afraid less people will go if they know they can just watch the panel online. Information, for free? Not on my watch! I don't understand as much why the studios themselves police leaked trailers made specially for Comic-Con ("Thor preview removed due to a copyright claim from Paramount," etc.) since they're never going to see the light of day otherwise, but maybe they think encouraging people to pack themselves into a hall will make the same material seem better, or something?

Hey, don't argue with me, I'm just saying why I think THEY do it. Let's put it this way: baseball games could still sell out, but if they discover 5 or so people are watching from a nearby hill or roof, they'll put up a wall to block that view. If they can't find a way to make more people pay, they'll at least find a way to make less people not pay.

serious question...
by MurderMostFowl
What are they "Avenging" ?

 I've never followed the comic. Is there some WWIII like even that gets it all going?
Aug. 5, 2010, 12:08 a.m. CST
by UrbanSamurai
I think it has something to do with "to avenge" being defined as "righting the wrong" or "bringing justice to injustice" or whatever. I also do not understand why they didn't use "Avengers Assemble". It is one of the (few) famous catchphrases in comic books. Strange. And Loki and the Hulk are the villains? Really? This is what you need "the earth's mightiest superheroes" as a team for? Meeeh...
Aug. 5, 2010, 12:12 a.m. CST
The "foes", eh?
by kevred
So does that mean a super-villain team-up, or maybe a large number of foes (e.g., Skrulls or some such)? Not sure if I can see the foes in the Marvel films so far (Whiplash, Abomination, Loki, Red Skull) being trotted out together - too easy to evoke Dr. Evil's crew. And the Skrulls are nice, but they seem like a bit of a retro, Mars Attacks-style baddie (and the shape-shifting could make for some dull action).
I wonder what direction they'll go.

So far, so good.
by LemonHeadRon
The thing is, if you don't like comics, then you're probably not going to like this, if you like comics,then you'll want to see the movie. Anyone that says they're an avid comic reader/lover and have no interest or hope that this film wont suck are lying. It's looking good, so far everything that needs to be ticked is being ticked. Good cast, good director, good vision (a big, fun, epic summer movie) All good, i don't think i've seen anything in a clip or interview yet that's made me think "there you go, you blew it!" Sure I'd have liked Thors beard to be a touch longer, but shit it's not killing it for me. I'm looking forward to seeing who the enemy is, in the Teaser Avengers thing above it states 'enemies' so i'm guessing there will be a few, surely not Loki, as Thor will already have fought him? I can see it being the Hulk at first until they turn him and then maybe something new. Maybe Thanos?
Aug. 5, 2010, 12:17 a.m. CST
What's that 3rd pic, Legion of Super-Heroes?
by kevred
Current comic art is so bad for the most part. Dour, flat, overly self-serious, no pizazz at all. And the supposed "gritty realism" of today's tired rehashings of old titles is summed up so very well by the 30-foot-tall Doc Martens pictured here. Yeah, grimly realistic...what a joke!
Aug. 5, 2010, 12:21 a.m. CST

by catlettuce4
But like some others here I am not convinced it's going to work. Whedon being my main concern. I do think the project has a lot of cool things going for it, especially RDJ in the cast, but it's not a sure thing. Here's hoping it lives up to the potential.

Too many characters = fail?
by Domi'sInnerChild
You're kidding, right? X-Men worked (hell, I rewatch Watchmen more than I ever thought I would) and some of the all time classic "hero" movies are ensembles. From Magnificent 7 to Saving Private Ryan. Whether you had Whedon or not, he does specialize in dealing with teams. From Buffy to Toy Story to Firefly, the one thing he does pull off is juggling characters.

Please don't make it an "emasculate the heroes" film
by kevred
Really hoping this doesn't turn out to be some kind of post-modern bullshit where Thor, Hulk and Iron Man are rendered helpless while Black Widow, Nick Fury, and Hawkeye save the day. Can we, for once, have an epic battle film where the tough guys are allowed to be full-on, bad-ass tough guys? Give them proportionally tougher tasks to complete. Don't wuss out and take them down a peg. If it's the mightiest heroes saving the planet from a dire threat, they need to let the heroes be heroes.

You guys are putting too much pressure on Whedon
by paralyser-pro
He's not the only one working on this film. He's the spearhead... and he's a good fucking choice because, if you'd ever seen astonishing X-Men, you'd see that he is one of the only Hollywood people out there that actually "gets" Marvel comics and will bring you a faithful adaptation. He will go to fucking bat for you against the H-wood suits, comics fans. And like I said, he's not in this alone. These movies are not little auteur projects like Serenity... this film is gonna be pre-vis'ed out the anus. The whole film is pretty much existent in digital 3D form as we speak; Joss is just waiting for the locations to be secured, the sets built and the cast and crew brought in to film. ILM is going to make fucking sure this movie looks incredible - Joss is there to spread the love around and make sure the actors can perform - and where in Buffy, Angel or Firefly did you ever see an actor phone in a fucking performance? This movie is going to be the real thing... Avengers Assemble bitches!!!11111

This is such a bold move, hope it pays off. I'm not sold on Whedon as a director, and they've got to hope Thor doesn't flop. Plus, 7/8 superheroes in one film is going to take some skill to ensure that they all get fair screen time.

Rumor is Thanos will be the villain
by vadakinX
The introduction of the Infinity Gauntlet (in either Thor or Cap, can't remember which one) definitely suggests that Thanos may play a role.
 If Warners do a Justice League movie it either has to be Darkseid (if he isn't already used in Superman) or some version of WarWorld with Mongul. DC by its nature is epic and anything that brings the worlds heroes together requires a worthy foe.
 Marvel heroes tend to be a little more grounded and constrained in their realities but Avengers still calls for a villain who can crush each and every one of them individually, forcing them to team up. Thanos would be one such force. Galactus would be another though not only was he ruined my Tim Story, he is licensed to Fox.
 I'm slightly down on a Skrull Invasion because I always assoiciated them with Fantastic Four and since they can't be in the movie (especially since the Torch went back in time to join the army,,,) it would feel a bit weird having the Skrull in there.
 Regarding the Hulk, I fully expect Hulk and Thor to battle. My theory is that SHIELD will need Banner for something, Banner of course just wants to be left alone, he hulks out and fights Thor.
 Once he's on board, say SHIELD needs a stable version of the super soldier serum to give to their agents to combat the upcoming threat. That's why they need Banner. But the only version of the serum that ever worked properly was the one given to Steve Rogers during the second World War. So they go on an expedition to the Arctic to find him...or SHIELD already has the body.
 Either way, they thaw him out and are amazed to find that he has a heartbeat.
 In fact in the Cap movie I would show his revival scene from his point of view, with Bruce Banner looking over him. Then the Avengers movie would begin a few months earlier.
 The Avengers kinda writes itself. At least the assembling part does. The real test is going to be in fighting an opponent capable of beating them all without it being cheesy. Thanos is the obvious choice.
 Actually it occurred to me that the gems on the Infinity Gauntlet could find their way into the hands of The Mandarin for Iron Man 3 as a way to explain the power of the rings.

No decent heroes
by dude_gimme_tabs
It's just my opinion, and I fully accept that people feel differently and more power (and good luck) to them. However I can't be assed with this. Pretty much the entire line-up are lame heroes who could barely carry a movie franchise on their own. The only Marvel hero who is properly worthy of a franchise is Spiderman, and he has been done.
 Iron Man ran out of ideas within 10 minutes of the 2nd film starting.
 Everything else has been pointless flannel to set up this movie.
 The X-Men movies were actually Wolverine movies with the others as supporting characters which is why they didn't feel overloaded. The "hero viewpoint" and the narrative drive come from Jackman's POV.
 This will be a piss poor attempt to make adequate (and it will never be more than adequate - unless the running time is 6hrs) use of all these characters and turn into a massively budgeted box-ticking exercise, with some contrived solution needing just enough use of each heroes particular skills or powers to win. Yawn!

Avengers are lame, bring on the JLA instead

C'mon captain America, Thor, Hulk all lame characters...a JLA movie would have been much more interesting, characters have much more depth, hawkeye and Ironman are the only interesting character in there. And no I am not a DC fanboy, but the DC superhero team is much more interesting than the Marvel one...Marvel has some great solo superhero but the ones in the avengers are lame...

God, those Ultimate costumes suck more than I remembered.
by Chewtoy
Seriously, what atrocious design sense... But then, they were created to ape the first X-men movie's idea of what a live-action superhero costume should look like. Sunken-chest cat-headed Iron Man is probably the worst, but Cap is pretty horrible (what's the thinking in drawing the eyes to the outside of his shoulders with big white stars? It doesn't emphasize the width of his shoulders, it breaks up his upper torso and draws attention away from the points of action, his fists.). The Wasp has the only good costume, and hers is essentially her Avengers Forever look.
Aug. 5, 2010, 7:27 a.m. CST
Hawkeye is interesting???
by NightArrows
What the fuck crack are you smoking? He's a piss poor Green Arrow. He's the least interesting hero in the bunch. Thor, if handled right, is awesome. As is Cap and Iron Man. The JLA has it's own issues in making things interesting (Batman's bullshit crybaby issues, Superman's power level, Flash being able to outrun LIGHT yet constantly being presented as "kinda fast"...at least in the shitty cartoon...Hawkman? Really? A giant fucking BIRD?). I will withhold judgement until I actually SEE this film as Bay isn't involved and the contrarian Debbie Downer™ cunts on this site annoy the shit out of baby Jesus.

I can understand Marvel not wanting to "blow a load" to quickly but you could've given us something. While i'm on the subject, why do the studio's think it's such a big deal to hide the identity of the villian(s) until the very last trailer is set to roll? If you already have a shooting script just come out with it.

 Iron Man - Good,P. Iron Man 2 - Bad
 Fantastic Four - Bad

Five long years, he wore this hammer up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the hammer. I hid this uncomfortable piece of stone up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my Assguard. And now, little man, I give the hammer to you.

 I'm sorry but explain to me why this lame shit is worth anyone's time?
 Granted they have no Avengers footage but this was still weak and unimaginative.
It's a logo and a voice-over. WOW - THE CREATIVITY IS FUCKING STAGGERING. Would it have killed them to perhaps put together something more visually interesting and engaging like some silhouettes of the team or perhaps make use of some unseen ironman or Hulk footage? Maybe show a quick glimpse of Captain America in costume or at least his face?
 NaH...just a logo and Sam Jackson talking was apparently "good enough". LoL...and to top it off they are hopping on the hype bandwagon way to early. They should be promoting Thor and Captain America which will come out before this. Zero effort & out of wack priorities = epic FAIL.

I've watched him in 'ES of the SM', Zodiac, Shutter Island and The Kids are All Right...and there are few other actors I've wanted so desperately to punch directly in the center of their foreheads. Norton onscreen I sympathize with as Banner, but that's a personal matter. 'Bros Bloom' is FR's only win for me. Norton or Nuttin', anyone who says they won't be distracted at all by his absence whether they like him or not, simply isn't being truthful. Again I hope you're right blunt...

Complaining about trailer content
by Werewolf334
Why complain so much about the amount of stuff that's in the trailer. They've barely started filming. They're probably still building sets and getting locations. What do you want in the trailer??? 5 minutes of set building? I'm sure they'll release more when it's ready. Thor's been in production longer than Captain America, so naturally they will have more to show for a first trailer

hmm..to hate or not to hate...?
by cricklewood
Choice: I could say it'll be great, and feel like a total failure if it ends up being a bad movie. Hmm, embarassing. OR! I can say "It'll suck, Whedon sucks, Ruffalo sucks and the movie will bomb...and if it turns out to be good, I can come back with a self-righteous, magnanimous "I'm pleasantly surprised!" to make me look like a good guy. Guess most of y'all are choosing the latter. Not me though. I'm staying positive, and if it bombs, well, at least we got to SEE an Avengers movie in our lifetime. And btw, you want a JLA movie? watch the previous one. eek.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Last weekend was Alturday, wherein my 57 warrior asked for a run through Stratholme. Upon reaching Lights Hope Chapel, I picked up a quest called "The Flesh Does Not Lie", to get 20 plagued flesh samples in any Plagueland dungeon. I got 10 before Alturday meant switching to my main to run someone through Scarlet Monasteries.
Yesterday I headed back to LHC to do soome mindless farming only to discover that the quest objective had been reduced to 10, so happily, I turned in the quest.
I was 58, out of rested xp, and maybe well into nuetral, as I'd done a few WPL quests. Turning in the single quest "The Flesh Does Not Lie" gained me 3 bars of purple xp and a whopping 14300 reputation with Argent Dawn. I made Honored.
