Damn, FILM CRIT HULK is in The New Yorker! Writing about Ruffalo's Hulk, no less (with a fairly substantial digression into Bixby's Banner).

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pondering why the sound of the siren from Prometheus gives me serious heebie-jeebies.

My brother was never into comics. Friends in high school were, and I've been reading them for about 20 years, off and on, but my entry points were Vertigo and the old Warren Ellis Forum. The first time I got an ongoing superhero title was during Morrison's Batman run 2 years ago. There are a few other things like Immortal Iron Fist that I got in TPBs, but I'd guess that maybe 5% of my comics are superhero books.
So I'm all about Nolan's Batman, but the last Marvel movie I saw in a theater was Spider-Man.

My flippant answer is that it was probably specifically created to trigger that reaction, because I know you're not the only person to have that creep-out reaction to it. Every time I see the trailer, I can feel my muscles tensing up when the siren noise becomes audible.

Not flippant, Jilli, I suspect you're right. It has to be a deliberate combination of pitch and frequency, or something. I can hear it in my head right now. Somebody give me a silly earworm, quick.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
It's a small world after all.
that's the nuclear option though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently a problem with the just-yanked GI Joe movie is that people want more Channing Tatum, and he dies in the first act. What kind of a world are we living in? Goddamn it.

I have to admit, that really made me laugh, ita.

It's really sad!
I have a question about Finnick again. The text describes him as having bronze-coloured hair. What does that conjure up for you?
(Weirdly, people were quoting my transcripts of his description back to me as if it supported their contention that he's described as tanned. If he is, it's in the back half of book 3, because I CAN DO FULL TEXT SEARCHING ON THE E-BOOK. Even though the ball isn't in my court--they should be defending their assertion--I did verify that the word "tan" does not occur in Catching Fire. But their impression of what the words mean is so different from mine, for those who actually went back to the text. It's remarkable how few people thinks that's important when discussing canon.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would say that's medium-brown and reddish.
