I also saw Captain America last night, though not with Buffistas! I really enjoyed it. Thought Chris Evans did a fab job, and Stanley Tucci and Tommy Lee Jones were delightful. Really liked Peggy - how wonderful to have a romantic interest who is never a damsel in distress and saves his ass a couple of times . Now I need to go back and see Thor.
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am smonster. I also dug Hugo Weaving.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I also dug Hugo Weaving.
Haven't seen the movie yet, but it's hard to go wrong with Weaving!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I definitely want to see Captain America but I avoid going to anything on opening weekend. So, we're finally going to see X-Men: First Class at the second run theater.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
We saw Bridesmaids last night and I loved it! Though I had to cover my eyes and ears for the extended vomiting scene. But otherwise, it was awesome! I loved Annie and Lillian's friendship, just the way they could be so goofy and funny with each other, and of course Melissa McCarthy was amazing. And Wilson Phillips! And the dance moves! So much fun.

move out and draw fire
We went to see Captain America this morning at the 10:20 am showing. And it was PACKED. Not a seat open. Fortunately we arrived in time to get seats together, and were in the midst of fanboys. Who were really dubious about having to be near a 6yo, but who were really relieved when it was clear Mal could handle it.
We all really enjoyed it, even the DH who hates superhero movies liked it, because it was basically Raiders of the Lost Ark and because the performances were delightful. They did almost lose him, though, because once again the State Dept. guy is a bad guy. I've promised to write him a script where that's not the case.
I've spent the last year immersed in WWII poster art, so the end credits were amusing to me, if not to the DH who had to put up with me telling him the slogan of each poster. I owed him for making me snort Coke during the previews though: the two last previews were Mission: impossible and Tintin, and in the pause afterwards he whispered, "Damn, uncanny valley!" I said, "Nah, they made some of the characters look cartoonish." He said, "I meant Tom Cruise."

Oh, yeah, he's always awesome.
"I meant Tom Cruise."
Mega-snerk.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
