I can't work out how they didn't cheat with the English teacher reveal. Did we just not see her face during the book "discussion".

I suppose the movie took a pretty adult look at how complicated loving someone can be, and the things you will do even while you're still in love, but the actual love philosophy skeeved me so much.

Ryan Gosling was great, though. I don't usually find him attractive (Hey-resy, I know) but he could certainly get me out of the bar and out of my panties in that persona.

And that Dirty Dancing move would totally work on me, if he could physically manage it.

I assume the Chris Evans movie will give me some sort of feelings. I wonder if, you know, she gets together with Chris at the end? I mean, what would be the odds?

Yeah, they never showed the teacher, which I actually noticed at the time. I have some nitpicks here and there, aside from that.

Ack, my isp is acting flakey so the post I posted last night is gone!

I saw "Captain America" and enjoyed it muchly! Very well done. I loved Stan Lee's cameo, the inclusion of Stark, Sr. and I thought the performances were good all around. It had a great look and feel that I really appreciated. The ending credits were especially cool.

My only quibble, and it's not a big one is that I know Bucky's death is canon, but I wished we'd had more time with the character to give is loss more impact.

I love the mix of humor and seriousness. Good job.

I loved Stan Lee's cameo

I didn't catch him! Where was he?

There was that scene where Steve Rogers was drawing in his sketchbook, and Stan came and snatched it from his hands and took credit for writing all of it.

no, tom.

P-C, he was in the briefing room where Rogers was supposed to be getting a medal. When he didn't appear, but an aide came out to tell the guy at the podium, Stan was the uniformed guy who said, "I thought he'd be taller!".

This would make an interesting movie.

There is some new testimony that suggests the KGB killed Camus.

I enjoyed CSL quite a lot (but I agree with every problem with it you've all listed) - I find Emma Stone delightful in everything she's done and I've been a little bit in love with Ryan Gosling since he was on Breaker High. The Dirty Dancing move would DEFINITELY have worked on me.

I liked CSL a fair amount, but mostly because: Fuck YEAH Ryan Gosling. I mean, seriously. He gives me the Feelings

My thoughts exactly.

Oh, also, I felt like a jackass because, watching the ads, I thought it was weird that they would have Julianne Moore and Emma Stone in the same movie, and not have them be related, but then I totally forgot it while watching the movie and was surprised at the end. Der.

Randomness: I just caught the last 2/3 of Dogfight on Encore and cried and cried and cried, embarrassingly more than for HP7. Then, because I am obsessive about needing not just wrenching, heart-reaming experiences but masses of words about them, I went hunting and Googling for more Dogfight thoughts and I found this, which says very nearly everything I could have and then some.
