And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

And -- "Before we get started...does anyone want to get out?"

BAD. ASS.

HA, Steph, my friend made the exact opposite comment, about his not aging in the last 20 years. He does look craggy, I agree. But I think that's for the role? In the still I saw of him for All Is Lost, he looked fine.

I feel like he was on the cover of Esquire or Rolling Stone in the past 6 months, and looked insanely craggy. t edit Yeah, Esquire: [link] He looks like Willem Dafoe there. It's freaky.

Granted, the man DIDN'T age for about 50 years. No criticism of the aging process here.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Robert Redford is 77.

Robert Redford is 77.

I'm not bagging on his aging process. Except maybe to wonder what dark magics he used to halt his aging process until about 10-15 years ago. Him and Dick Clark, I tell you what.

Seriously.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Was Redford a surprise? This wasn't something they'd already announced, right? I haven't been following the news too closely, but I feel like I would have heard about it before.

I'm so weirdly excited about this because I've been watching a lot of his old movies lately. Butch Cassidy, Condor, The Sting.

I didn't realize Redford was in it. Of course, my focus is mostly on Winter Soldier (I'm wondering if it's okay to use his real name, given that it's based on comics that already exist, or if it's spoilery) and Natasha.

I'd say if someone is only watching the movies and doesn't know who Winter Soldier is, it'd be nice to preserve that mystery for them. If they don't happen to have it spoiled in any of a number of other venues.

I'm pretty sure that when the title of the movie was announced, I made a huge fuss and already spoiled people about the character. I hope they forgot.

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

Just from watching that trailer, if I didn't already know who Winter Soldier was, I would have assumed it meant Cap, what with all the difficult moral decisions he's clearly having to make. I wouldn't have connected "the Winter Soldier" with "the guy in the mask" at all.

Anyone who follows the comics or reads fic using comic canon was spoiled.
