The DVD release date is Sept. 25.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But it's not going to stay in theaters right up til that day, is it? I have no idea how they decide that, except for yanking movies that aren't making money.
So Avengers is now officially the 3rd-largest grossing movie worldwide of all time. Beaten by James Cameron. I get how Titanic made so much money; it's got a broad appeal. But Avatar, I don't get how that made 3 billyun dollars.

And 3-D designed for the movie.
Though to see truly inspirational 3-D designed for the movie, you need to see Hugo, which was awesome.

For all the Loki lovers out there: Ask the Lokis. I think they've closed their ask box for now, they got so many asks the first couple days after they went live. Really great art. My friend Jo answers the asks for Avengers Loki, Jotun Loki, and Old Man Loki.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have no idea how they decide that, except for yanking movies that aren't making money.
It's got to be a combination of how well the movie is doing and what else the theaters are committed to, right? Hunger Games was still in the top 10 as of a couple of weeks ago.

If it continues to do business in the millions every day it could be in the theaters for a long, long time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was just thinking it would be okay if the things we attributed to the Mayans were right, as long as the world ends *after* the 14th of December.
It's not that I don't want to see the second half of The Hobbit-- far from it. I'd just be willing to sacrifice that for preserving this year in amber--Hunger Games, Avengers, Dark Knight Verbs, and one more trip to middle earth? That seems like a decent time to get out--keep the experience unsullied. And, hey, postponing GI Joe sure doesn't hinder--why can't Johnson take more roles *I* want to watch? I have to hold out until Fast & Furious: Six Games or something?

Did anyone watch the Avengers/Lady Gaga Bad Romance mashup?

Plus second-run thaters. I saw moneyball at the local cheap theater the weekend after it hit DVD.
