Day like this are when I feel like a very different sort of geek than y'all. Cause I saw the trailer and thought to myself "I might actually go to that one." because it looks pretty good. But I'm done now. Which makes me feel like I'm missing Christmas morning or called the Beatles a bunch of homely English guys. I'd be happy to get a movie about The Black Dahlia case that didn't completely suck, but I suppose I'd be worried about America Henry Goldblume style if that one had midnight showings and lines around the block...what would I want like that with fannish intensity... a big-screen Deadwood movie?(carefully timed to not fuck Justified flatter than hammered shit, of course, because even though Justified isn't Mommy, I've come to love her very much.)

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.
Dana Stevens often has weird, almost idiosyncratic tastes. Something I think she would like she doesn't, and vice versa. I don't get her.
You can keep reading negative reviews (and there are a few) to dampen your enthusiasm! Although more likely, they'll just make you annoyed.
Ha, pretty much.
I liked Thor more than Captain America, and I agree that it had an emotional hook, which surprised me. Cap's was possibly stronger and clearer, though, for sure.
Also, expect to miss some of the better lines in the movie, because the entire theatre will be laughing at a quip and then a zinger comes back that the laughter just rolls right over and you miss it.
This was an issue during Cabin in the Woods. Which was hyped up AND BLEW MY MIND WITH ITS AMAZINGNESS, so good.
I loved that even during all the battle scenes, it wasn't just violence for violence sake. Every fight exposed more and more of each character and who they were. Seriously, I'm going to go back and wallow in it.

Dang.
Dana Stevens often has weird, almost idiosyncratic tastes.
I agree with her more often than not, but yeah, there are quite a few times I went, "... I'm not sure if that's the same movie I saw." Not as often as I go there with Stephanie Zacharek, who could write beautifully about something I love in a way I found moving (I still have a copy of her review of "Holiday" saved in my hard drive at home) then half the time, would make me shout "you can just stand in your wrong corner and be wrong! In your wrongness!" She writes like a fangirl, in all the good and bad ways.
I enjoyed Thor and Captain America but didn't think they were OMG AMAZING. I was pretty fannish about Iron Man though -- read fanfic, downloaded the score, the whole nine yards. The sequel was rubbish though, and I'm hoping The Avengers would make me retroactively less annoyed with that movie.
I am g-chatting with a friend about the movie, reliving all the glory. You are all wishing you were me.

I am in the theater.
