I will be interested in your reactions to the ending of the film. I was really with the movie until the last third.

I still don't know what I think about that last third of the movie.

I'm not finishing it before tomorrow at the earliest, so I'll be back then.

Whereas the last third was what made the movie super awesome for me.

I'm with P-C on this. I loved the all-hell-breaking-loose...literally of it. Plus Bradley Whitford's final moment made me laugh and laugh.

I liked the last third. I thought the last 2 seconds was kind of a dumb shot, but was thematically just fine.

The literal-mindedness of the last 2 seconds made me laugh almost as much as that other thing.

I pretty much liked the whole thing through. They made it about The Cabin in The Woods from moment 1 in a way that I was surprised by I--I liked not having to work things out, just wait as they revealed more--they weren't ;treating like the mystery formula was new or amazing or surprising. I liked all the characters pretty much too, across the board .

Jesse and Chris looking hot, but I bet Johann auditioned for it. I wonder if Colin did...

Rian Johnson poses as an Arclight employee and gives the opening spiel for the midnight screening of Looper. Awesome.

Just saw Avengers for the first time in the dollar movie. A great deal of fun, but I wish there had been more time to concentrate on the characters instead of having to give everybody screen time and shoehorn in the plot as well. It was definitely a case of "If you haven't seen the other movies, just try to keep up because we're not going to give you a reason to really care about anyone here." Fortunately, I've seen Thor and the Iron Man movies, so I wasn't completely lost.

I have a hard time being overly concerned during fight scenes that rip up cities, because it's so obviously just a movie. I find myself contemplating "How did they do that?" or "That shot got used a lot in Firefly and Serenity". If anything like that happened for real, it would destroy a city because no one would pay for the repairs, most of those buildings would be demolished, and the sheer carnage would probably topple the government.

Kudos for not beating us over the head with plot points: Tony realizing where the tesseract was, Steve realizing that Tony really is a hero, etc. Coulson as team-unifying symbol was certainly a bludgeon followed by a blinky neon arrow followed by an explanatory speech. All they missed was some reference to Pearl Harbor being necessary to pull America into World War II.

Is there a movie where Hawkeye is more fully explored? Because he certainly merits full exploration. And I was pleased they showed him running out of arrows. Though that should have happened sooner.

Nope, but he definitely does.
