Seeking a Friend for the End of the World was a sweet, quiet movie. There were only 2 other people in our theater because everyone else was seeing the kids movies.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yes, the next line does point that out.

No LJ for me at work. I only have your quotes to go by.

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

Good to know! It's been on my I really like almost all those actors; please let the actual movie be as good as the cast list of might-sees for a while. It's still behind Moonrise Kingdom on the actual want-to-see list, but you've nudged me from vaguely wondering to actively interested.

The Avengers in Fifteen Minutes:
Awesome!
ONE PRECIOUS OLD MAN: In Germany, we will bow to no more tyrants. Never again.
A LOKI: Are those… sad Holocaust movie violins? Did you just Godwin me?
CLINT: HEY I WAS ACTUALLY ON ANGEL ONE TIME
THE CHITAURI: ooooohhhhhh

Hey. New board.
Moonrise Kingdom is pretty wonderful. Very Wes Anderson, and because the extremely odd-serious characters are slightly disturbed children it doesn't seem quite as unrealistic as most of his characters. The setting and some of the adults are completely absurd, but enjoyable so.
I really do recommend it. My favorite Wes Anderson outside of the Royal Tenenbaums.
Also, the main girl looks like Emma Watson playing Gwyneth Paltrow's character from Tenenbaums as a young girl.

My favorite bit from The Avengers in 15 Minutes:
FURY: Bought it off a couple of disappointed steampunks. Too many of the gears actually did something.

Moonrise Kingdom was higher on our list too, but it's not playing at the tiny theater here. Which is stupid, because it was filmed not too far from here.

Big!Boss and I had an Avengers moment today: the server crashed at 4:30, and there were only 3 of us left at work, none of whom have ever had to reboot the server. One co-worker refused to go near it, saying she would blow it up because she doesn't even know how a server works.
So Big!Boss and I go look at the server, and then we stare blankly at each other for a long moment, and all I can think is, "It appears to run on some sort of electricity."
