I saw Avengers for the second time this afternoon. The theater was ~85% full at a 4:25 matinee, which seems pretty good for a second weekend.
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

Trust my rage
I had to walk out of my showing due to Frisco, but that one and the two precious had sold out at our closest theater.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also saw Avengers for the second time this afternoon. Theater was ~80% full at 3:15 on a Sunday afternoon. Pretty good. The folks in front of me and behind me had not seen it before. Folks in front thanked me for alerting them to the two extra scenes. They were an older couple and I was tickled at how totally into it they were.
In addition to all the moments you all have mentioned: I loved when Thor was fighting Hulk in the aircraft bay, and he held out his hand for Mjolnir and...waited...and you hear thump thump thump THUMP BANG and then you see that the hammer has just blasted through walls and large amounts of stuff to get to him. That was a cool little moment. Mjolnir is a character in its own right, imho.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I could use a little thump thump BANG, if you know what I mean.

There's a screencap of that moment floating around Tumblr captioned with " Accio Mjolnir!" I giggle at it every time.

Oh, and in the same scene, when Hulk tries to pick up Mjolnir and he CAN'T. His feet are digging holes in the metal floor and the hammer will. not. come up. Mjolnir just lies there smugly, all "Yeah, grab this, UnJolly Green, I'm magic!" Then Thor just reaches down and scoops it up.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yeah, well, I'm still waiting for them to do Beta Ray Bill in a Thor movie.
Didn't Ororo pick up Mjolnir once?

She got her own hammer once, I think.
I'm finally convinced that Joss really does have a thing for barefoot women. When we first see Natasha, she's barefoot, and Pepper is barefoot in both her scenes in Stark tower.
Not really spoilers, but, kinda.
