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?!
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.)

billytea, the second post-credit scene was filmed after international release, so only those watching in North America got it. Sorry.

Holy crap. See ya, Harry Potter.
Joss has to have people lined up to bestow sexual favors and/or gold-plated chocolate upon him right about now.
