I had the same problem, tommyrot. Definitely won't be seeing that in 3-D, either.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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.

Holy crap, it's earning money so fast Hollywood accountants may not be able to disguise the fact that it's turned a profit!
I want to see an edited version of that awesome scene where Thor strafes the incoming armada with lightning so that the sinking Titanic and flying dragons from Avatar are amongst the forces getting blown up.

I saw it in 3D... and I have to say, it was one of the cleanest post-conversions I've experienced, very crystal-clear focus and subtle use of the depth except for the occasional arrow or whatnot.
It also gave me one HELL of a profound headache. Which I'm going to keep in mind the next time I'm tempted to go to a long 3D movie.
Other than that... I had a wonderful time. Liked all the characters -- really liked Mark Ruffalo and his scenes with RDJ. Samuel Jackson good as ever.
Also loved that Hawkeye got to be more than the guy with trick arrows.

Oh hey, I wonder if that was an additional trigger to losing yesterday to one of the worst migraines I've had in a while. Because while the IMAX 3D was impressive, I could occasionally feel my eyes straining.

Joss just entered the big leagues in a HUGE way. I hope that works out OK.
I do like that he already has MUCH ADO in the pipeline, though. It will definitely make for an interesting contrast.

He thought he was busy doing Firefly, Buffy and Angel at the same time.
Now he's got The Avengers, Much Ado About Nothing and Cabin in the Woods all in the same year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had to come back and share one of my favorite moments in the movie, where Loki is all, "I am a GOD!" at Hulk and Hulk just grabs him and starts slamming Loki all around Stark tower and then walks away muttering "puny god". I think that got the biggest laugh in the movie and every time I think of it I start laughing again.
