Juliebird, I got a big kick out of Banner's magical stretchy/disappearing pants. Also out of the way his upper body grew so much larger than his lower body did.

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.
I also absolutely loved
Oh yes, me too. When being interrogated and when talking to Loki, she was portrayed as being in complete control of her emotions, and feeling like she was in command of the situation; it made her very real fear of "the other guy" that much more noteworthy.
Also interesting to note that when she was talking to Loki, she faked fear while actually feeling confident; when first meeting Bruce, it's the other way around. (Plus, Loki was fooled; Bruce wasn't.)
On that last point, I don't think Natasha had actually done any less of a good job putting up a front with Bruce; it's just that he assumes, largely rightly, that everyone is really scared of him. I suspect that's a reason he stays with the Avengers. Aside from the fact that he could feel the Hulk was actually doing some good, Tony Stark may be the first person he's met since his accident that knows who he is and still seems to be genuinely relaxed around him.
Zenkitty, the magical disappearing pants didn't so much disappear as get incinerated when the fighter he was tearing to pieces exploded in a fireball underneath him. Per Harry Dean Stanton, he landed naked in the warehouse.
It's not that they magically disappeared, so much as they stayed on when the shirt went.
Now I have this image of a raging Hulk torso hopping about on tiny Bruce Banner legs.
Will and I saw Avengers again last night! He called me after work and said "It's playing at the TRex theater at 6:30, let's see". The T Rex theater is like a baby IMAX.
Bigger screen and for 6:30 on a Monday night there were about 10-12 people there.
It was so much fun seeing it again! A couple things I noticed: the use of mirrors, there's twice where the action is mostly shown through a mirror - part of when Natasha is interrogating in the beginning and another time, during the battle (although I'm blanking on that).
Then another cool shot I totally love is when everyone is in the lab arguing and the staff is there and the upside down shot where everyone is under the staff (and sort of under Loki's influence)
And I didn't catch it the first time but when Tony grabs Hawkeye to take him up to the building his says "Clench up Legolas." I found that amusing
I think this was a rewatch for most people in the theater, not as many big reactions as when I saw it on Saturday but Hulk throwing Loki around and Hulk sucker punching Thor got big laughs. Also I noticed this time when Tony's arc reactor wasn't lit up like it should be.
Isn't there a random mirror shot with a small round wing mirror and Captain America's image? Providing I'm not hallucinating this...I think it took me out of the moment.
ita, I think so, because both times I saw it, it jumped out at me. Maybe in a car rearview mirror during the final battle? Although...that doesn't sound right.
Isn't there a random
Yes.
Steph-maybe from a motorcycle?
