Is Jenny Agutter someone I'm supposed to know?
I just this moment realized she's sister Julienne on Call the Midwife!
Jayne: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife? Wash: Wacky fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love Jenny Agutter! She was in American Werewolf in London, and Logan's Run and Walkabout.
Sort of a cult British 70s actress.

OK, I saw Logan's Run and American Werewolf. Very long ago.

Emmett and I saw Winter Soldier today. Really enjoyed it as an action movie, but also appreciated the time it spent on the characters to make more than a Transformers spectacle of exploderation.
Particularly loved Steve going back to aged Peggy and spending time with her.
Thought Scarlett was great. Loved the Cap/Bucky stuff.
Emmett laughed out loud when he read Fury's tombstone.
Also really liked the direct way it engaged the post-Snowden /Wikileaks world and the surveillance world and the NSA.
I like my Captain America "on your left."

I was impressed with how strong that message was presented without coming off as heavy handed...at least not to me.
In William Goldman's "Adventures in the Screen Trade", one of my all-time favorite books, he talks about Robert Reford's career choices...specifically in The Great Waldo Pepper. He intimates that Redford would never play a bad guy...ever . So much for that!
David, your comment about Steve going back to see Peggy reminded me that, in the theatre, I was reminded of Highlander, of all things. Connor and Duncan were the first characters 'out of time' characters I saw do that. I was touched then, I was touched this time too .

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I typically don't care much about getting spoiled, but I'm trying to avoid it for this movie, which is making the whitefont quite entertaining.
I like my Captain America "on your left."
He was one of my favourite superheroes growing up, despite the fact that the only superhero more obviously connected to a particular kind of American mythmaking was Super President. (Actually, I also quite liked Super President.) Perhaps this is why, because it's actually fairly easy to align him with a more Niebuhresque vision of American exceptionalism.
