The archer who criticized Hawkeye's archery skills has another article:
The Avengers’ Hawkeye: Not Such a Bad Archer After All
I got to see a preview screening of The Avengers Wednesday night, and I need to amend my earlier comments regarding Hawkeye’s archery technique a little bit. I can’t give you a review of the film, at least not yet, but there are a few points that need to be addressed.
First, most of what I talked about before is glaringly obvious in the publicity photos, but goes by very quickly in the film, usually while a lot of other stuff is going on. You have to really be looking for it to notice Hawkeye’s archery while Hulk, Thor and Iron Man are busily breaking things all over the place.
Zathura is on tv. The older brother is Josh Hutcherson and the sister is Kristen Stewart. So Peeta and Bella are siblings and Peeta pervs on Bella at the end. Crazy-cakes.
I watched a movie called "Women In Trouble"...highly recommended to Buffistas because so many of us like Connie Britton and Carla Gugino...it spawned a sequel "Electra Luxx" which I've mentioned here already.
Got my tickets for a Midnight show of Avengers in Salem. I'd randomly taken the 4th off without even thinking of the release date, but I'll be DAMNED if I won't take advantage of it and get my geek on. Walking distance from my apartment too.
Awesome! Same thing happened with me and
Hunger Games.
Sadly, I have not taken the 4th off, so I will settle for opening night!

I'm doing the all-day marathon on the 3rd, then taking the 4th off. I felt rather like you - it's just been too long since I had a full-on geeky day. So I'm having one! (Pray for me...or at least my backside).
I haven't seen a midnight show since Dark Knight, so I'm kinda psyched.
About seeing it as a midnight movie, I should say. I've been stoked for the movie for a long time.
Serenity
was my last midnight showing (well, that and the Buffy sing-along before the production company shut him down).
I'm getting more psyched as the date is creeping up (and as the positive reviews start rolling in).
Finally saw HUNGER GAMES. The camera-work only bothered me a little, but mostly because I kept thinking someone had seen too many Lars Von Trier movies and thought it would make things SERIOUS if they filmed it that way. I get why most of the violence was filmed that way given that there was no way they'd be allowed to go with an R by the studio.
That said, I did dislike the removal of a lot of the horror elements that came into it (namely the muttations and what they really were), but I loved most of the additions since they weren't going to go with a Katniss voiceover (thank the lord). I think it was good to set up Snow earlier than the books did as a major force of evil, and I loved what they did with Seneca Crane.
I think all the actors were spot on. Gale might have been the only one I'm not sure about, but mainly because he didn't have anything to do (and seemed 5 or so years older than Jennifer Lawrence, and given how much she was playing younger that's something). I liked the actor that played Peeta a lot, but for some reason I kept seeing him as some cross between Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion, so I spent a good deal of the movie wondering what Joss would have done with this series.
For a 2.5 hour movie, though, it just blew by like gangbusters.
Um, I didn't know "The Avengers" has already been released overseas! Holy shit.
It has made a SHIT TON load of $$ too.
