Ha! Loki and Lilo: "This is your badness level."

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.
Finally saw Avengers. It was pretty great. I didn't like the 3d conversion, though, and will be avoiding it in 3d for my next viewing.
I found most of the darker clothing seemed to be tailing a ghost in the 3D conversion
I don't get the sleipnir thing though.
I almost peed myself laughing at that! Um, the story is, Loki screwed around with the gods, getting them to bet a guy he couldn't build a thing in a certain amount of time. But he had a really strong fast horse named Svaðilfari, and so he was getting real close to winning, and the gods got mad and told Loki he better fix it so the guy loses, so Loki turned himself into a sexxay mare and distracted Svaðilfari... all night long, and by morning the stallion didn't give a shit about the bet anymore and so the builder lost. Then a few months later Mare!Loki gave birth to the eight-legged colt Sleipnir, who was the fastest and strongest horse there ever was, and he became Odin's steed.
Which, in the context of the Avengers universe, is hilarious.
Clive Owen, Karl Urban, the guy he fought in the kitchen in one scene,
Celeborn!
I did. I got that reference.
Great Tony Stark vid just popped up on my flist: [link]
Which reminds me: do I need to watch Iron Man 2?

There are some individual scenes that are good, but they don’t add up to a whole great movie.
We went into the city today, saw a very interesting exhibition on various media. They had a sequence of video clips from maybe two dozen movies, all featuring the Wilhelm scream. Really quite neat. (A whole bunch of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and in the middle of it all, Beauty and the Beast and Toy Story.)
