Keep on losing, buster. If you can't tell link descriptions apart, well, I've already done my bit.
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just saw a preview for the new X-Men movie, and it looks awesome, right??
They had me at McAvoy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Saw Thor. Daaaaamn. He looks good.
My not-really-spoilery note: Jeremy Renner is in The Avengers, right? Otherwise, why him? Also:
I was geeking out about Thor (the movie) at work, and realized that it passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors
I am not sold on this, however. Don't the two women really have to be talking to one another? They were mostly with Stellan Skarsgard.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Jesse, your not-really-spoilery note is correct as far as I know.
Saw Thor. Daaaaamn. He looks good.
Holy crap, REALLY REALLY.
I am not sold on this, however. Don't the two women really have to be talking to one another? They were mostly with Stellan Skarsgard.
I'm pretty bad at remembering exact stuff like this after only one viewing, so I can't really say absolutely they were talking to each other. I know that I *thought* they were, or else I wouldn't have said it passed the Bechdel test.
Heeeey -- now I have more reason to see it again. I must confirm Thor's hotness the Bechdel-y-ness of the movie. I can take one for the team.

I was only paying attention because you had said that before I saw it. It did have multiple ladies with distinct characters, which is a plus.
Oh, in other movie-going news, the previews I saw made me wonder what about why Today's World is somehow less appealing suddenly. Is it too weird and scary here already? Previews seen: X-Men, Super 8, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens.
Also, Green Lantern, but I think that was really the only one in modern-day America.

Finally saw Fast 5. The slash potential made me cry. Or my migraine. Still, so much manly bromance. Very heady.
Needed better dialogue, though. The plot was fine, the action great, but the lines lacked punch.
Stay past the credits. I didn't mean to, but they were very pretty. There's an ohh! extra scene. Kind of on the level of the one in Thor.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can’t say that I’d heard of The Monster of Nix before today, but I definitely won’t be forgetting it anytime soon (and thanks to /Film for sharing). The short film, which should be out any day now (spring 2011), is the work of Dutch filmmaker and artist Rosto, the talent behind the online graphic novel Mind My Gap.
You’ll immediately notice in the below teaser for The Monster of Nix how insane Rosto’s character designs are. That crow-like thing with human hands for feet is pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel. And that is most certainly Tom Waits’ gravelly voice providing the voiceover; Nix also features the voice talents of Terry Gilliam, Charles Hubbell and, awesomely, The Residents. If you don’t know about The Residents, then read up. After you watch this bizarre beast of a trailer, that is.
