Buffistas

Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Closed Film and TV threads

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

Matt,

you are cracking me up.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Skipping to the end to point at my resurrected tagline.

Now to go back and read all the Avengers whitefont.

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

Now he's got The Avengers, Much Ado About Nothing and Cabin in the Woods all in the same year.

'Cept Cabin in the Woods was completed years ago.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

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.

Yeah, but the buzz factor all accrues to 2012. He'll wind up being Entertainer of the Year of somesuch somewhere.

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

In our theatre too. I love that it's so obviously been pulled from the cartoons.
