My assumption is that Tony was so blitzed during trips to the Middle East that he never learned what any of the food was actually called.

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.

Tom--you saw Moonrise Kingdom? I'm dying to see it.

Scrappy, yes I did. Maybe my favorite movie this year.

Say, I've been reading some comics and some fic, and what's the deal with how sometimes Natasha is called Natalia?
Natalie was Natasha's cover name when she was Pepper's assistant in Iron Man 2.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My assumption is that Tony was so blitzed during trips to the Middle East that he never learned what any of the food was actually called.
That was my assumption, too. I mean, I didn't know what it was, but I'm not a cosmopolitan billionaire.

Which would be character growth during the movie...which I actually believe he had.
Cap (to Tony): "That's why you'll never makes the sacrifice play."
And who makes the sacrifice play at the end? Yeah. I believe he had it too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I loved that. And, really, lots of the movie was about the characters, in the end, being willing to sacrifice, for the good of the team, for saving the world. A statement about what it takes to be a superhero (whether or not you're supposed to be a superhero), I guess, that there is a cost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I loved how when the grumpy stick was working on them, Cap kept challenging Tony to put on his suit so they could fight--for a while, that was his only line. And then the ship got hit, and exact same line, except this time he's helping him off the floor and they were going to the fight.
I do like how there weren't authority issues. They readily deferred to Cap, and my only issue there was he was willing for most any play to be a sacrifice play. They need the QB alive and kicking, man. Nick can't call the plays from way over there.
I loved the moment where the cop (with Enver) was all "Why should I listen to you?" and then...the combat version of a meet cute (fight cute)? And he relayed his orders verbatim,
Cap having been from New York sounded very apparent here too, the way he called plays, and took the whole real to us city (which Batman will never be able to achieve) as known terrain for the fights. That impressed me. But I lurves Steve...
