Dear DC Marketing Department,
Call me a silly fool, but did you really think you’d get away with it? Or were you just playing dumb, knowing full-well that we’d blog and post about it. You sly dogs you.
But who are you really kidding? Everyone knows you’re dumb as a box of rocks. Ever since the Harry Potter cash cow stopped giving milk, you knew the Brothers Warner would turn towards its in-house fiction generator to start making with the profits.
And guess what? As soon as they turned their steely gaze towards you, wouldn’t you know it… those rat bastards that used to be across the street scored a near two-billion dollar movie. Sure, you had the last Batman movie, and hey, no one is blaming you for that not banking on higher expectations. The franchise made you a small mint, and almost made all of us forget Green Lantern.

For the last few years, all of the talk surrounding Marvel's movie universe has focused on the upcoming team-up extravaganza "The Avengers," but what happens after Earth's Mightiest Heroes make their big-screen debut? We know about "Iron Man 3" and the "Thor" sequel in 2013, but now Disney has staked their claim on two more Marvel movie dates in 2014.
According to Slash Film, Marvel's mothership has set aside May 16 and June 27 of 2014 for a pair of upcoming, unidentified films from their growing comic book universe. The company has also tagged May 30 as the release date for a new film from Pixar.
So, what Marvel films could they be planning for those two dates? It's a good bet that one of them is the sequel to "Captain America: The First Avenger," but the other is significantly less certain. Could it be Edward Wright and Joe Cornish's "Ant-Man" or the "Doctor Strange" movie...

This was one of those Twitter-Wood Mondays where I could have easily put together a double-installment, what with everyone remembering the late Peter Graves' "Mission: Impossible" days, reactions to "The Pacific" and a truly disturbing "Twilight" doll that Alex Meraz TwitPic'd.
Still, today's highlight may have been Russell Brand's commentary on Lady Gaga's "Telephone" video, which incidentally was not banned by MTV. In fact, I wish I could turn on a Brand audio track during some parts of the video. Check out his Twitter account for more than what I've retweeted, and find a depiction of Robert Pattinson, some fratty guys on Splash Mountain and more in Twitter-Wood for March 15th, 2010.
Twitter Pic of the Day:

The Twitter-Wood feed assembled after the jump is the fine work of Mr. Brian Warmoth, but he seems to have disappeared before finishing the evening's intro bump. So you're stuck with me, @geminibros, your friendly neighborhood MTV Movies Blog editor.
I may not have Brian's panache, but I can still fill you in on what's shaking in the Twitter-Wood today. Rob Zombie just wrapped up the audio commentary for the director's cut of "Halloween II," "Harry Potter" star Tom Felton decided on his Halloween costume -- I wholeheartedly approve -- and "Shaun of the Dead" writer/director Edgar Wright saw the Coen brothers' new one, "A Serious Man." I wholeheartedly approve of that as well. Meanwhile, Brian Lynch has the real scoop on the next "Spider-Man" villain and Sarah Silverman shares a downright baffling twitpic. Also, Tyrese Gibson shares his very special moment with Michael Jackson, clinching himself the top...
