Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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.

OK, you guys have said everything I wanted to say about The Avengers.
We saw it Saturday in IMAX 3-D. First IMAX, first 3-D movie for me and it was fuckin' GREAT. We had the armrest that flipped up between Dan and me and we held hands (actually I kept gripping his hand like a woman in geekly labor) and I wiggled and jumped and made quiet squeeing noises and didn't have to pee and it was just fun as hell. LOVED. The audience was pretty geeky, so I may have let out a couple of "HELL YEAH's" were received with laughter and approval.
We'll be getting the DVD as soon as it comes out and watching again and again. D is hoping it is still in theatres when M comes this summer, because fuck his mom, we are totally taking him to it. He's seen the Hulk, so I think that 10 is old enough to see The Avengers.
Especially since he went as Wolverine for Purim. (Yes, I bought that costume for him. Do I get a Cool Geek Stepmom badge?)
It was SO geekily satisfying. We stayed until the end and loved the last extra scene.
But there was no shirtless RDJ. Only downside.

During my second viewing I sat next to a 4 or 5 year-old who was enthralled by the movie and enjoyed it immensely, so I think it's pretty age safe for kids who are old enough to sit through long movies in general. There are like two swear words in the entire movie, and one of those is an archaic Britishism.

Although if M takes "mewling quim" home, hope his mom doesn't look it up.
If RDJ has to keep his shirt on, perhaps he could wear this: [link]

But there was no shirtless RDJ. Only downside.
Also no shirtless Thor in jeans.
(When I complained about that, Tim said, "Well, other than Black Widow's first scene, there really weren't any high heels either, so I think we're even." Heh.)

Shatner's head is too small. This may have been intentional, though I quite like Shatner.

It's kind of like footbinding, but with toupees.
