Okay--I started to skim the Something Awful movie threads, and now my head is dizzy. What is the poster ancestry of SA?
The sections I've frequented seem to be a core of former military with migrations from Myspace and 4Chan accreting around them.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

Hey. New board.
I posted on SA for a while. I... don't know what it's about. I still visit a private board populated primarily by SAers (or former SAers) and I... kind of hate the posters.
Some threads get all intellectual, others are all "hehe boobs"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

Hawkeye's arrows, on the other hand....
And now I'm laughing uncontrollably about Loki catching and *grabbing* one of Hawkeye's arrows, whereupon Hawkeye's arrow *exploded*.

That Betsy ditty makes me want to cry with its truth.

It does look like it might be one of those scenarios where there's at least a frame of every set piece in the trailer, but hey! They look like cool set pieces.

I forget: did we talk here about the reviewers who apparently missed Black Widow doing anything of value in the movie? The latest on that trend is apparently George R. R. Martin. ::rolls eyes::
Scarlett Johanssen looked great in that outfit, but she seemed to be there only as eye candy.
I swear, there's some weird Rashomon thing going on. How does one entirely miss Natasha catching a ride on a hoverskiff and closing the portal?

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

Uh...she does arguably the most important thing in the movie.

Oh, dear. Speaking of authorial intent, I'm boggling at the Something Awful costuming post: [link]
Every time more is read into costuming than I can follow, I remember Tim sending back the hench vampires in Lullaby because the costumers had put them in basically the same outfit that Gunn was wearing.
I know, I know. Not everyone's that careless. But I often feel I don't have enough information to tell who's who.
