Yeah, this is the most excited I've been for the next episode of SHIELD since the show started.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

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.

I've been reading the white font because I'm no fan of suspense, and I want to know how badly Jossed my fic is getting. My biggest reaction is No, Sitwell! But Coulson's reaction to all this will be interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure the main thing I have to say about Captain America is a quote from Linda Holmes on the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast: There should be more things where Anthony Mackie is the guy, not the other guy.

Compassionately intolerant
I heard that Strange name too, but totally missed the reference to Hawkeye .
I'm not sure where I heard it but I could swear that I saw an ad that said that this week's Agents episode will be appreciably different as a result of movie events .
News here about Sabastian Stan having a 9 picture deal and elsewhere that he spent 5 months training for Cap2 AND spent every day walking around set with a plastic knife, so that his movements were totally natural ...well, all that makes me wibble a bit.
This whole article is super fun. LOTS of Cap2 spoilers and cool tidbits.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So the movie appears to be doing well:
In only 10 days overseas, the sequel has already taken in $207.1 million -- eclipsing the entire foreign run of Captain America: The First Avenger ($193.9 million).
As for opening weekend, it's one of those weekends:
1. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 1/3,938, Disney/Marvel, $96.2 million.
2. Noah, 2/3,751, Paramount/New Regency, $17 million, -61%, $72.3 million.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I missed the Strange reference but caught the reference to the Valedictorian in Iowa City which played well with the Iowa audience.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
As one who has not yet seen CA:WS (and has to wait till next weekend to do so NOOOOOOO seriously I have not been this jazzed about a movie since the Avengers and possibly not even then), I have one question: 3D or not 3D? (Oh, look, it's Hamlet, adjusted for inflation.)

Not 3D. It's a post-conversion, and To 3D or Not agrees that 2D is just fine.

Cool. 2D it is, then. (I'll be seeing it with my youngest brother, and it shall be awesome.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
(nodding at all of your reactions). Just wanted to chime into to say I saw it in a large theater last night and the scene discussed above with a key performance by Jenny Agutter's character (white font)
the ENTIRE audience groaned out loud when the mask pulled off out of sheer disappointment. Every one. To a person. The reaction was spectacular .
