Oh my God Steph ahahaha read this. We were all idiots.
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
D'oh! That's kind of awesome.
You know how people complain that trailers give away the movie, or the best parts of the movie? 100% untrue here (the exception is that I know I saw a trailer with Fury saying to Cap "I guess you're giving the orders now", and when that scene hadn't happened by the time Fury "died", that was a pretty clear indicator that it was a fakeout). And then, of course, Fury could have just been resurrected by Dr. Ron Glass/Kree goo. So that part didn't freak me out, although I loved Black Widow's reaction. That was a nice character moment.
But think about the trailers -- the Helicarrier crashing! OMFG, it must be the bad guys! But no! It's the good guys!
And the trailer with the voiceover of Pierce saying "You shaped this century...I need you to do it one more time" -- I totally thought that was something he said to Cap, but no! He said it to THE WINTER GODDAMN SOLDIER!
Well played, Marvel.
Marvel is just running circles around everyone at this point.
That's who Danny Pudi was talking about! Oh, good.
Also, I was relieved that Emily Thorne sided with Cap.
I knew she would because I know her character from the comics, but I was really proud of nerdy computer guy for putting his life on the line for Cap.
Totally.
We are at the theater. We were going to try to see Veronica Mars today, but it is only playing in Boston now. So, we are seeing Captain America 2. I can't wait to read the whitefont.
See! I SAID it was Big!
WINTER SOLDIER! I saw it today in 3D It was awesome. Will asked me my favorite parts and I named half the freaking movie.
I think one of the biggest reactions came when Danny Pudi showed up. I swear to god I wasnn't the only one who blurted out ABED! I swear.
Unfortunately I had to go to the bathroom really bad and kept waiting for a good time and finally ran out during the escape scene when they are taken to Fury. I kinda guessed Fury was not dead. But I came back in time for that reveal.
Some questions I had were where did Sam get his wings in the big car chase/shoot out prior to them being taken prisoner (when we get the Winter Soldier is Bucky reveal) because I thought it was in the trashed car. Also in the end scene when HYDRA guys were saying Natasha didn't get all the stuff, was that the same guy that was taking care of Fury? I couldn't tell.
There was a little kid sitting behind me and the action with WS got a little intense because when he was on the runway thing taking out all the innocent guys the little kid started making distressed sounds but his dad soothed him. Speaking of Winter Solider I swear I was waiting for "are you ready for your treatment" when he started remembering. And then they gave him the mouth guard and he took it and just..well...took the pain and it was heartbreaking and horrible and Cap has to find him.. And comfort him.
