This morning coming to work by train, as I was getting into London Waterloo train station I could see that the Silver Surfer had been placed on the London Eye. The movie premier will happen today at 6 PM (GMT) at Leicester Square. For sharp eyed viewers there’s a scene in the FF2 trailer that happens in front of the London Eye.
Silver Surfer takes over London Eye – rediff.com: You might have seen the London Eye before, but look closer.
London’s most popular tourist attraction, the eye is a massive ferris wheel — and the world’s largest observation wheel, giving visitors a bird’s eye view of the entire city.
Right now, however, it belongs to The Silver Surfer, one of Marvel Comics’ most striking superheroes.
The Surfer — coming to theatres worldwide this Friday in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer — takes point of pride, right in the centre of the London eye.
Right now, the Surfer looks good. It’s enough to make his nemesis, Galactus, frown.
Too bad that the FF movie is so silly. It just saddens me that so much potential and talent goes to waste for a movie such as this one.
Note: Thanks to OhForTheLoveOf for the headline modification. ;)
If you guys were wondering, the Silver Surfer Image rotates with the Wheel.
Are you saying Jessica Alba is not the greatest character actor of her generation?
Alternate Headline:
Historic landmark used in crass marketing campaign.
Sadly, no one cares… 🙁
#3 – I used to complain about that until I realized that my Cubbies play at Wrigley Field…
But in defense, Wrigley actually built that field.
#4, OFTLO, Wrigley field is an institution, built as you said by the company, not taxpayer dollars. What a great ballpark — I’ve only been once.
Somehow it just didn’t seem right when “The Ballpark in Arlington” was renamed “Ameriquest Field” just so Tom Hicks could pocket a few more (heck, a lot) more bucks. Even the Astros messed up big time with “Enron Field”.
And now, the “Tough Actin’ Tinactin” halftime report…..
Thank you…. Thank you…. Thank you!!!!!
