I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

That is clearly what happened.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well, especially when Agent Cobie (can't remember her character name) said the Captain America cards weren't in Coulson's jacket, I was all, "It's a fake! It's all a FAKE!" And then I remembered it's a damn Joss Whedon movie.

Yeah, well, whatever, Joss. I am so over this need of his to kill someone off to prove that it's REALLY SERIOUS UP IN HERE.

I'm just glad it wasn't Pepper or Erik Selvig.

Matt, I totally expected Erik to sacrificially die while closing the portal.

Joss couldn't kill Pepper, because there's gotta be another Iron Man movie in the works.

The people in Joss' Rolodex (or whatever) just expanded a lot. And we've got MUCH ADO coming up soon too!

Because books.

Interrupting the Avengers squee to post this piece about a fan campaigning for Jesse Williams from Cabin in the Woods and Grey's Anatomy to play Finnick in Catching Fire and Mockingjay. I think he looks pretty good for the role.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

right?

the explicit expressed racism coming out of every corner these days has me on the fucking edge.

I honestly don't know how my ancestors coped with all this bullshit. I really don't.

It's gross. The reaction to Rue broke my heart, and infuriated me at the same time. And Jesse Williams is gorgeous. He'd be perfect.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Back from The Avengers.

The biggest laughs were for Hulk punching Thor, and treating Loki like a ragdoll.

I thought of Ple when Tony called Thor "Point Break."

Tony Snark.

Ruffalo was so good.

I'm glad Joss spent a lot of time establishing BW as a badass, and giving her several great scenes including her Silence of the Lambs-y scene where she played Loki.

I also thought it was smart that when it came to Captain America Joss thought the costume looked as doofy as I did with the mask on, and kept finding ways to expose Chris Evans' pretty face. Especially when he was standing on the ground next to BW and Hawkeye he looked like he was a miscast professional wrestler.

I'm glad he gave Enver and Alexis gigs, even in small parts. He takes care of his peeps.

Wholly satisfying and entertaining. If Joss does two more, he'll get to make his musical.
