But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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 remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My first experience of the Maria Hill character in comics was of her ordering a bunch of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to capture/gun down Captain America for voicing his objections to the Registration Act before it was passed into law. Subsequent efforts to make her a sympathetic character have been a lost cause IMHO.

Some of the look and enhanced abilities of Movie Cap are taken from Ultimates, but his likeable personality and commitment to protecting the weak are pure 616. The Ultimates version is closer to USAgent in terms of personality and morals.

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

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

::high fives the exceedingly right-thinking Jilli::

Question about shawarma--exotic food, or someone as cosmopolitan as Tony has heard of it? Street food and not the nosh of billionaires? What's the what?

eta: I honestly believe my sister watches these movies just to be able to talk to me about stuff that wets my panties, and she's not into it...but she did have the Coulson feels. I told her I'd drawn Colin as Hawkeye, and she asked me who Hawkeye was. So I know the front and the back of her list looks like mine.

Street food: Tony must have heard of it.

I agree that if I worked it out by uni, Tony would have heard of it. And I'd assume Joss doesn't actually think it's exotic for him, so what for that line?

...of course, I can imagine Pepper chastising him and saying "Remember the secret Palestinian meetings? After you ducked them and got trashed? The food you chowed down on after that...that's shawarma."

OMG, he was so clearly wearing running shoes with lifts in those scenes.

Got me. Unless Tony's lying, which I wouldn't find unlikely. He's just running off at the mouth to be entertaining.

Also totally within character.

Exactly. Also, it's actually something one might do if one didn't want to make Steve feel bad for not knowing what somethign was...
