I guess that's context for you--SMG could probably take SJ down. At least in terms of flexing and shit. I mean, she was pretty crap still at the end of it all, and there was never a stunt double remotely her size but at least she didn't have to deal with firearms so there wasn't any "recoil? what's equal and opposite reaction?" going on, as well as squinting without actual sighting. SJ's wrists were held better in the ring, tho.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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

I was skimming, but this caused me to do a double take.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The best thing about Ant Man was when Belushi got to mock him in the SNL skit.
ITA.
Maybe I should say it's the only thing I've ever seen about Ant Man.

Okay, so--In Time just started. I'm having an issue with the premise that something so incredibly valuable is so easily taken (and given). It's making the ecosystem not work for me, right at the beginning of the movie. The very premise is broken.
I mean, yes, anyone could take my life from me as easily as these people have their lives taken from them, but they can't add onto their lives as easily--the transfer bit's what's not possible--society would be even more fucked up than what they are showing so far. How could there be any shred of stability? I mean, the 1% would pretty quickly be the 100% because they'd be the only ones left.
Is there an assumption (or clarification) that the process is more stable at higher echelons of society than Timberlake moves at?

Edgar Wright is directing Ant Man, & co-wrote the script. Simon Pegg doesn't have anything to do with it. I mean, it's not impossible he'll turn up in it somewhere, but at this point his involvement consists of being pals with the guy making it.

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

Oh! Well, hell, that changes everything. Except me not wanting to see Ant-Man, unfortunately.
not meaning to be sarcastic, BTW. Totally serious.

RDJ is two years younger than me. This just spins my world off its axis. How is it possible than I'm older than Iron Man?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just finished reading up on Ant-Man and Wasp because I was only familiar with them from the current cartoon (and the first run of The Ultimates, which I hated) and WTF is wrong with the Marvel Ultimate Universe?
I mean, seriously, outside of the Ultimate Spider-man comic(which I loved) it seems like they're just trying to be as horrific as possible. Ultimate X-Men started out really good, but then they turned Nightcrawler into a psychopath and Colossus into a drug addict, and I was done. And since when does The Blob eat people ? I mean, what the hell?

I'm older than the President. That was a kick in the butt.

Earth 1610 was pretty much always the grim and gritty version of the stories. Took a younger, more "scientific" and issue-laden tack. It is their thing.
