'Dirty Girls'
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.
I watched it again this afternoon: 2D in a small theater. The sound wasn't as good as at the Metreon--we missed a number of lines, but the audience was more into it. When Hulk took down the first flying centipede!carrier, and you got the big power shot, the audience cheered.
I don't know that I caught much more, but it was still fun. Oh, wait, I did see the one long shot that caught everyone during the big fight scene. That was cool.
Yeah, I loved the critters. I was so happy because they were in the background earlier and when they came to the payoff they were so great. I wanted one as a pet.
Liese I wanted one as a pet. Me too!
And this is a movie I would LOVE LOVE to have commentary track on.
Am I the only one that wants it to be a full cast commentary rather than Joss and Zak Penn? Well, OK, they could leave Sam Jackson out based on how he disrupts group interviews.
You aren't, I was thinking about a full cast commentary and a commentary with Joss. Or maybe the cast broken up into 2 commentaries. Based on nothing really I think RDJ would do good commentary.
Ahhh, I think I need to see 3D now.
I saw Avengers in 3D and Dark Shadows last night. Not in that order.
Dark Shadows pleasantly surprised me; I was expecting something painfully ridiculous, but it was actually a pretty good story. I saw them with my sister, who had no idea about the backstory of either movie. When I told her Dark Shadows was originally a soap opera, she laughed at the idea of that story playing out over YEARS of thirty-minute chunks of 70s soap opera. I was most disappointed that Willy Loman wasn't a cute teenage boy, but I do understand why they decided not to do that... I LOVED Michelle Pfeiffer. I knew the doctor was going to end up on the bottom of the ocean still "alive", just like Barnabas in his coffin. Barnabas' mesmerism technique was daft. My sister and I spent the rest of the evening waving our fingers in each others' faces and demanding stuff. "You want to give me the popcorn!" And of course, us being us, when Angelique started tearing things apart, I leaned over to Lil and said, "Never mind the people, we're both worried about the pretty HOUSE!" and she laughed. It was true. And I'm glad Barnabas and Josette got their happy ending at last. So yeah. Enjoyed it, but I don't plan to see it again.
But then. AVENGERS. I have never enjoyed a movie more than that. The only movies I've ever seen more than once in the theater were the original Star Wars, the first Indiana Jones, and Serenity. And now, tomorrow I'm going back to see Avengers again by myself, and I can't promise I won't do it again! I can't gold-plate chocolate, but I'll be glad to bestow sexual favors upon Joss instead. Actually since the movie's made a kabijillion dollars and the theaters aren't empty yet, he doesn't need mere blowjobs. He has money and, presumably, the fickle desire of Hollywood moguls. Still, after seeing THOSE people in THOSE outfits in 3D, I think I've found my goddam libido. I'd do any of them WHILE they ate crackers in my bed.
I have more to say, but I'm too damned tired. Tomorrow.
Also FTR I think I saw Stargate in the theater twice.
Is it weird that I liked Captain America more than I liked Thor?
No, I believe other people hold that opinion. I liked Thor more, but some people REALLY dug Captain America.
