Hey Sean! Do you remember getting a Spider-Man foam hand for me at the premiere of (I think) Spider-Man 2? I still have it, and it is coming out when I go see The Amazing Spider-Man. You betcha.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.

Nobody noticed when I wore a JLA shirt to the Avengers movie.

One of the friends we saw it with specifically bought a Hydra shirt to wear to the movie. Just to be contrary.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh.
“Well, not all of us are in the same weight class so it is hard to say between Hemsworth and Evans. I think they’re pretty evenly matched. I think it would go to the ground. Then I think it’s me, Ruffalo, and Renner in a quote-unquote three-way in which I lay waste to them with sleeper holds but then we cuddle. And then it is Hiddleston versus Johansson if I am not mistaken. That probably just winds up in dinner at a five-star restaurant somewhere."

Hark, A Vagrant has some comments on BW: [link]
Heh.
(If this doesn't make any sense, it's part of a running joke about how "Strong Women Characters" have to be kickass and nearly-naked, and show their boobs and butts at all times.)

Jilli,
I'm more neutral tending to negative about Austin Powers, but what was it about the character that bothered you so? You didn't like the parody of James Bond?

I can't speak for Jilli, but I loathe Austin Powers. Don't much like Mike Meyers, either, truth be told. I don't have any explanation for it, it's entirely visceral.
Anything asserted to be like Austin Powers would be something I would steer far away from, myself.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
My feeling about Austin Powers is that both the movie and character were essentially one big fart joke. Not my kind of humor, and certainly not in movie length doses.
