I did not see the original. Nor do I want to now. I understand the point of it all is more understandable in the original, but it was lost on me in this movie.
The movie is okay, but the plot is not good.
No power in the 'verse can stop me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
R.I.P. Paul Walker what the fuck. In a car crash, at 40.

In a car crash? That's...not quite ironic, but creepy as hell.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, no! How horrible.

Yikes. Doesn't he have young children, too? Such a shame.

Seriously. And he wasn't even driving. And it was at a charity event.

He has a daughter, 15.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god! That's so sad.

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.
Getting caught up here, I actually enjoyed Thor 2 quite a bit. I think Thor has the best extended cast of the assorted Marvel movies.
And the Cap cameo was one of the funniest things I've seen all year.
Way behind on movies in general. I just picked up Pacific Rim when Amazon had it for crazy cheap this weekend. Hopefully I can find time to watch it soon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hiddleston said that he had played Loki pretending to be Cap, and Chris Evans watched the tape of it and modeled his performance on it, so what we got was not Evans playing Cap, but Evans pretending to be Loki pretending to be Cap. Which is totally different.

Well, I knew he wasn't actually playing Cap as Cap.
I know Hiddleston is really good at doing impressions, so the idea of Evans basing his performance on doing an impression of an impression doesn't surprise me, though it's still fun.
