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.

Yay, Winter Soldier!

I HATED that vaporized water/microwave thing/fear toxin plot. So bad.

I am completely unenthused by Ant-Man.

Y'all, I have found myself so super-spoiled for TDKR. And it's only made me want to see it more. Like, five minutes from now. I need a time machine.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I didn't see the Captain America movie, was Bucky in that?

Yes, but he wasn't a kid like in the comics; he was a friend of Steve's who enlists in the Army while skinny Steve stays home. But, being Bucky, he does eventually become cannon fodder. (Not literally a cannon.)

So...holy SHITBALLS, if they do this right, it will be so, SO good.

A friend of mine just said on FB that she read the title as "Captain America: The WIENER Soldier."

...I would watch the hell out of that movie. IJS.

I feel like someone, somewhere has written that.

CJ's birthday is a week from today. In celebration, he is taking three friends to see the Batman trilogy on Thursday. I feel like I've raised him right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I feel like someone, somewhere has written that.

Someone somewhere has filmed that, naked.

So...holy SHITBALLS, if they do this right, it will be so, SO good.

Oh yeah. Please do it right, Hollywood.

Also, please keep the whole Ant-Man thing away from my Avengers. MY Avengers, dammit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Now I'm starting to feel bitter that we're getting an Ant-Man movie instead of a Black Widow one.

Ant-man? Sounds like something they need Jeff Goldblum for the role. Ugh. Definitely not enthused.

And I have to agree, I'd much rather have a Black Widow movie. Sigh, Hollywood, whyfor you have to be run by butts?

At least we may get some of her in the CA:WS movie? She did have an affair with the Winter Soldier. I dislike having to say "better than nothing", but damnit, Natasha deserves her own movie!

Because books.

For the comic-impaired, do you mean Black Widow was also in the 40s at some point, or in Winter Soldier after Bucky comes to the present?

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

Unsurprisingly, I'm not sad about no Black Widow movie. I don't think the studio is taking her seriously enough to push her to the front of the line, and it remains to be seen if Scarlett can up her action game sufficiently.

Jessica Biel is no master thespian, but I wouldn't be second guessing her chop socky..
