Update: 8 1/2 hours! My Captain America t-shirt is clean and ready.

Hee.

Wait through the credits for the extra scenes

I'm always croggled that there are people who don't know this by now. (And then I remember that not everyone has the obsessions that I do, and/or they don't really give a crap.)

I was amazed that anyone didn't stay through the credits at the showing I was at - I assumed the geek quotient at a semi-marathon would be near 100%, but there were a few who left before the first post-credit scene and quite a few who left before the second. I even overheard someone behind me saying triumphantly, "See! Another 'stinger'!" I was amazed anyone in that particular crowd wouldn't already know, or at least assume, that. I stay through the whole credits at pretty much everything anymore - I always say I was trained by Stan Lee.

...A week or two ago a guy at work saw one of my wallpapers - the Shwarma scene - and commented how funny it was...and that he'd never seen it before (blamed his 3 kids for not being able to stay through credits). I guess those people who don't know/don't care really are out there.

Oh, maybe I should watch AoS tonight and go see Winter Soldier tomorrow?

Not absolutely required, but there were a couple things that called back to this week's ep.

Since I only found out about the double feature yesterday, I didn't have on my Captain America shirt (since you asked, it was a Cheshire Cat shirt), so I'm wearing Cap today (heh - if only).

Which leads me to the following thought - I enjoyed Sebastian Stan as the Mad Hatter on OUaT a lot, but I don't recall ever seeing his chest. This is a previously unknown failing of OUat, remedied in CA:WS. That is a good chest to have (Juliana, fyi).

Me, too. Just in case.

Ooh, cool.

Even before post-credits scenes became A Thing, I've been a credits watcher. I don't do it with DVDs, though. I only caught the Monsters University scene by accident since I left the credits running while I did the dishes.

Didn't Ferris Bueller even have a post-credit scene? Where he peers out and says "Why are you people still here?"

Yep. A classic! I wonder if there has been some sort of article about the history and evolution of post-credits scenes. Hec! Find me something!

It did. We always stay. I think it's slightly more common in L.A., where people you might know are going to be in those credits--or at least people who do the same job as someone you might know. So, it's a respect thing.

I want to say that's where the post-credits scene gained traction (but I honestly don't know; I just remember it as being something that other movies didn't really do). And the reason people stayed through the credits to even see the post-credits scene in Ferris Beuller is because the credits were a split scene with an ongoing scene on the school bus, so people stuck around and watched.

Because we stay for the credits, when we saw the recent True Grit, Tim noticed "Honey Wagon" in the credits (the job title, not a person's name). He looked it up and thought it was the best thing ever, and so he always looks for it in credits now, even for movies that were not shot on location in the damn frontier. It makes me laugh.

Whereas I (and I know I've said this before) now expect Nick Fury to be in every movie's post-credit sequence EVER. Veronica Mars? Nick Fury. Judd Apatow dudebro movies? Nick Fury. Animated movies? You damn bet we need an animated Nick Fury.

Speaking of credits, apparently a great deal of CA:WS was filmed in Ohio. Who knew?
