'Selfless'
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 just got back from seeing Avengers. But I missed the second post-credit scene.
On my way home, my life of crime resulted in me being caught by a red-light camera. I was in a pissy mood when I got home, but seeing the final post-credit scene on YouTube just cracked me up so much I stopped caring about my soon-to-be ticket.
Off to see Avengers soon! I'm super excited! And holy heck! How did I not make the connection that Chris Hemsworth and Liam Hemsworth (Gale from Hunger Games) are brothers?!
We just got back from seeing The Avengers in IMAX 3D, I have to say the 3D was pretty good and not really in your face too much. We had a great time and even if the movie had sucked, the final post-credit scene would have made up for it. My son leaned over to me as the "The Avengers" title came up and said "Joss knows how to open a movie". He wanted to go see it again right away, so I have a feeling that we will be seeing it at least once if not twice more.

From Phillip Island, my favourite local vacation spot and home to FAUNAPALOOZA!
Spoiler alert: Phillip Island makes no appearance in this movie. Would it have been improved by the addition of penguins? I don't see why not!
Hee! The theater manager came into our theater after the fist credits scene and asked if we wanted to forward to the second scene. Everyone voted yes, and five seconds later, we were laughing like loons at the second scene! That movie was SO GOOD!
They didn't play the second scene at my showing! Very disappointing. (I've now watched it on YouTube.)
Two other comments:
1. "Dost thy mother know thou wearest her drapes?"
2. Loki reminded me of no one more than the Master, especially Anthony Ainley's Master.
billytea, the second post-credit scene was filmed after international release, so only those watching in North America got it. Sorry.
The Marvel Comics mash-up "The Avengers" launched the summer movie season with a $200.3 million opening weekend domestically, by far the biggest debut ever.
