Hec, I wouldn't put the information about Hawkeye going under Loki's control (and coming out) in whitefont for another week or so at least.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
After Hawkeye is brought back from Loki's control, BW asks him how he feels. He says something to the effect of "You know what it's like to be emptied out and filled up with something else." Indicating a kind of Dollhousing in her backstory.
Is that in the comics? The Ultimates? Somewhere? Did anybody else notice that line?
Comics - 616, I think?

Hey. New board.
I doubt The Avengers will top Titanic in international gross. Titanic is still sitting at $2.1 billion internationally (counting, admittedly, re-releases). That's $700+ million more than the third place movie, HP VII.
Only James Cameron seems to have mastered the super-slow-burn long-running box office champ to the level of Avatar and Titanic (Avatar broke no opening weekend records, but holds records for third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh weekends, and holds first in third and fourth even when adjusted for inflation.) I don't think Avengers will hold that same sort of sway for the next several weeks; it's a different kind of movie, at a very different time of year.
I wouldn't be surprised if it hits 1.5 billion internationally, but I doubt we'll see it beating either of the Cameron Epics.

Because everything deserves the Friends treatment, I repost for you: Loki'd:
Where they all become room mates and everyone hates Loki (except Thor doi) and so they are grumpy, but he also hates all of them so the twist is that Loki himself is constantly trolled.
Bruce is always Hulk cus he can’t tolerate Loki, but he is like, sophisticated Hulk cus he is trying really hard not to rage.

This is very apropos of art icons and the final scene of Avengers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That is fabulous.

Great concept! But I'm not that crazy about the execution.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And on the "tip" thing -- I got nothing. If someone is so ignant that they don't see the callback to, what -- 10 minutes of screentime prior? -- then maybe they need to see a simpler movie.
At least one person is too unobservant to live.
Or two. I forgot about the prior scene when I saw it (and from the descriptions here, had the same thought about tipping).

I knew there was a bet, but I had forgotten over what over.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
This is very apropos of art icons and the final scene of Avengers.
And is now my desktop background. Wonderful!
