It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

It's not that they magically disappeared, so much as they stayed on when the shirt went.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Now I have this image of a raging Hulk torso hopping about on tiny Bruce Banner legs.

Thrive to spite them

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.

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

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isn't there a random

Yes.

Steph-maybe from a motorcycle?

That jibes with my memory, tommy. There was no segue or flow there.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Isn't there a random

Yes.

And it is from a motorcycle.

Was it when he rode away on the motorcycle at the end? Or a different scene?
