I've seen Iron Man 1 (not 2) and Captain America. Beau has seen Thor too.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

I know I don't read anywhere near as much as I intend to, but Tales from Development Hell sounds like great anecdotal information to have on hand for piecemeal reading.
Oooh, thanks for posting that. That book looks right up my alley.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'm sure there's nothing in the other movies that you'll need to follow the Avengers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Iron Man would most likely be the "important'' one to see, because it's probably the one that made them decide they could do an Avengers movie anyway. But, like everyone said, they're not turning away money at the door, and it's not a complex premise (see, some people have ability to do heroic stuff...) so it'll be *just* fine*. Millions of people will walk away without a better idea of who Hawkeye is, to boot.

And one gets big and green. (The Jolly Green Giant joins the Avengers! Good nutrition ensues!)

Apparently one is a lady. (I'm sure that's all you need to know about her...)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She looks good in leather and has red hair and a gun.
