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.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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.
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..

Because books.
For those of us who don't know better, though, I thought she looked great in her scenes. Especially the one where she's tied up and Coulson calls her (which I adore). But I wouldn't know a decent shot if it was hitting me in the face.

In the comics, it was in the 60s or 70s. But that won't be too hard to shuffle around for the movie to get the characters' ages right.
(Poor comics, always having to re-shuffle characters' backstories so that they can remain in their 20s and 30s in the present day. Batman should be in his late 80s/early 90s by now.)

Batman...is a vampire. That is really why he is the dark knight.

You should read the Confessor arc of Astro City.
Someone somewhere has filmed that, naked.
If the someone is Chris Evans, I'm in.
Am I the only one NOT enthused about Ant-Man? I think the concept is ridiculous, and Hank Pym is an ass.
I was enthused until I read that Simon Pegg is making it. My expectations are now rapudly burrowing toward the earth's core.
