If I want to see that movie I can open a window and look outside.

Date for tonight has been postponed due to surprise final (what kind of professor decides to go out of town during finals week and neglects to tell their class about the schedule change?), but I'm going ahead and seeing the movie alone the first time. I know the crowd that will be attending Free Comic Book Day at the comics shop tomorrow, and odds of everyone there being able to shut up about plot points are nil.

Well, that might be good, so you don't have to worry about focusing on the movie during your date!

Oh this guy's at least as big a comics fan as I am, so we both would have been spellbound through the movie and spent the first hour or so afterwards geeking out about it. Likely that's how the date will end up going when we do manage to get together.

I went to Thor because I wanted to see what Branagh did with the superhero genre. I enjoyed it. I felt Loki had some legitimate gripes about not being told he had giant blood, but naturally his coping methods suck. Thor was a brat who deserved getting banished, and I loved the look on his face when he fought his way in to his hammer and then couldn't pick it up.

And Freya kicked ass. As did Lady Sif.

As did Lady Sif.

I feel like the actress who played Sif could easily play Wonder Woman. I'd like to see it.

Serious Avengers spoilers: I should have realized that Agent Coulson was toast when he started acting like a Joss Whedon proxy .

I really liked her in the movie and hope she'd have more to do in the sequels. She certainly looks the part of WW: [link]

And she was kick-ass in terms of fighting.

Tom, I know! I told a friend of mine they may as well have put him in a red shirt. The whole theatre let out a "noooooo".

I'm waiting until next weekend to see the movie,

I had a brief conversation about the movie with the guy in training with me. He said he wasn't sure he was going to see it, didn't see the big deal. I told him I was excited because 1) AVENGERS and 2) Joss Whedon!

His response?

"He totally sold out." Which left me all ?!?!? and I asked what he meant. Well, he said, Joss is a low budget indie guy, "like Serenity." I'm not sure if he never watched Firefly but I retorted "Fox cancelled Firefly!"

But then he declared all the movies cheesy. According to him the only decent ones are Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Capt. America was really cheesy and Thor was barely watchable.

So I decided to ignore his taste in movies.
