I feel like I should see the movie again when I'm not stupid tired. I don't remember half of what you guys are talking about. I may like it better when I'm fully conscious.
'The Train Job'
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
One thing I liked about Captain America was the realistic nature of some of the German secret weapons. Germany did a lot of experimenting with flying-wing aircraft, as a way of getting the range needed for bombers to fly to America and back, and to improve performance of the era's relatively crude jet and rocket engines.
Then there's this thing:

I don't think a prototype of that ever flew.
Yep. Marvel canon.
I want to see it again now.
I kept wondering when I was watching it who the heck the actor playing the English Howling Commando (memefault on name) was, because WOW, he looked familiar. Which would be because it's JJ Feild, and I saw him in the last movie I saw in theatres, Third Star. He impressed me enough in that that I kept meaning to find something else he'd been in and watch it.
I haven't seen Captain America yet, but Chatty!co-worker did, and he mentioned a musical number. Is that bullshit? Are talking, like, music playing over a montage? Or more like Dr. Horrible? I'm assuming the first, because something like Dr. Horrible would be spoiled faster than potato salad at a picnic in Hell.
Tep, neither. Also, it's STUCK IN MY HEAD.
Christopher Judge cast in The Dark Knight Rising.
They did have a nod to the incongruity of an Asian man on the troop, which was something.
It's a perfectly honourable musical number. Bear in mind, Cap punches a submarine. Which totally makes up for it.
Raq, re: your whitefont Also, what ever came of the good guys getting a sample of Cosmic Cube Juice?, do you mean when Howard Stark found the cube ? I assumed that would be addressed in The Avengers.
ita, yes, and he didn't die, either!!
Steph, it's somewhat tied to the storyline. Whether that bit is true to Capt. America canon, I have no idea.
Loki is the bad guy for the Avengers, so the cosmic cube guesses make sense.
