Wash ,'Serenity'
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.
I was watching it saying to myself, I have no idea what is going on, but I know it is important.
Yes, this!
Oh, and I looked up Ezekiel 25:17. It says, "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them." Nary a righteous man in sight.
well caught, Kalshane.
Yeah, I took that as a subtle Pulp Fiction reference, very cute.
Oh, duh. I haven't watched that one recently, but good point.
Also I can't wait to see the vids that come from this movie.
"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." GAH STEVE YOU KILL ME.
I was also mildly disappointed that it wasn'tJenny Agutter's character kicking ass .
Me TOO! I so wanted that to be the case.
Following that, I had to ask why wouldn't she just take off her jacket for cripe's sake.
Anyway, I loved the movie much more than I expected to. I didn't really like the first one but this felt so different and was action, action, ACTION!
One of the people with me kept speculating that Magneto might cameo in Avengers 2 as a result of the mid-credit scene. I can't imagine that both for 'don't cross the streams' reasons and for economic reasons.
Now I can't wait for A2 OR Xnext.
Doesn't this also preemptively kind of shit on the Peggy Carter series ?
Also, I guess Marvel has a Dr. Strange movie in the pipeline.
Tom, I don't know why it would. Zola said the infiltration of SHIELD slowly grew over time.
I imagine that back in Peggy's day things were still relatively straight-forward.
Following that, I had to ask
Well, by the time she realized what the thing on her jacket was, Pierce had a gun on her. Didn't look like she had much opportunity to remove it.
Anyway, I loved the movie much more than I expected to. I didn't really like the first one but this felt so different and was action, action, ACTION!
Oh yeah. I liked the first one okay but wasn't a huge fan or anything, but this was much more style. Every Marvel movie is a different genre, even though they do share similar sensibilities that allow me to enjoy them regardless.
Doesn't this also preemptively
How so? We learned from the Agent Carter one-shot that she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard Stark. I assumed a series would be set during that time.
And I totally glommed on to the Dr. Strange reference as potential confirmation that it's happening. It's been discussed a lot; I think they've mentioned it before.
What was the Dr Strange reference? I need to read more comics.
When Sitwell (R.I.P.) was listing dangerous people identified by the Algorithm, Stephen Strange was among the names. Dr. Strange is both a medical doctor and a doctor of MAGIC. I haven't read much with him, but he's a pretty cool character. Because MAGIC.
