I can understand the amount of fic inspired by this, the potential oozes out of the thing.

Science bros!

"Finally someone who speaks English!"

I see Pepper having Banner's cellphone on speed dial so she can call him and hand the phone to Tony when Tony starts babbling. And Tony making sure Banner has a nearly Hulk-proof phone.

Question re: Hulk. How much control does he really have? Does it depend on whether he chooses to change or if things get overwhelming and force the change?

The movie seemed to indicate that when he chooses to change, he has more control. I don't understand the logic behind him Hulking out, so I'm going to just go with the handwavium.

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."

Eh, I'd only seen Iron Man 2 of the leadups and I frigging loved the hell out of Avengers.

Honestly have only minimal desire to see the Captain America and Thor movies despite the praises from here and from meatspace. But I'll see another Joss Avengers movie at midnight preview again.

Captain America was pretty good. I mean, I liked Thor, but Cap's story has a lot of heart.

Man, I cried. Thor was a whatever action movie. Iron Man was a fun and exciting movie, and Captain America was sweet and exciting. Chris knocked it out of the park with a character I theoretically don't give a fuck about.

I liked the part where Thor got Loki out of the jet. "Afraid of a little lightning?" "I'm afraid of what comes after."

So Looper was really good, but I think I set my expectations way too high, and it wasn't entirely what I expected, so I feel weird about it. It's very stylish, the cast is great, and it's funny and action-packed. I love that they threw in telekinesis, but I kind of wanted the movie to be more about the relationship between Joe and Old Joe. That diner scene was great. More of that! So when it switched to the farm and became about the scary telekinetic kid, that was also cool, but not exactly what I wanted. Also, you know, standard complaint about female characters in sci-fi movies. I wonder whether Rian Johnson has some fetish for Asian women who don't talk.

I dug the movie, but I was expecting to be blown away after all the hype.

Does anyone have an opinion on ETX? Is it worth $3 extra?

I think I liked Looper more than P-C did. I thought the movie was much better than I expected and despite knowing the premise, the movie still surprised me. I see P-C's point about a certain character, but since that character (and other events around the character) were largely symbolic - at least that's how I read it - it didn't bother me too much.

There was one set of scenes in the movie, where Bruce Willis got to be Bruce Willis that literally made me clap my hands in the theater.

Beau did not like the very end of the movie, asking me on the ride home: "did he fuck his mama?" Can you really ask that question delicately? I think that was a bit of fucked up direction to let that question linger. I think the answer to that question is "no" but damn.
