Also, The Railway Children.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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

Also, The Railway Children.
Twice! She was in the remake too.

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."

Compassionately intolerant
Also really liked the direct way it engaged the post-Snowden /Wikileaks world and the surveillance world and the NSA.
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.

Thrive to spite them
I saw the movie in 3D and liked it, but it's not necessary. I saw Captain America in 3D and wanted to see Winter Solider the same way.
With Jenny Agutter I thought omigod! who is this woman kicking ass! She's a sleeper agent. Has she been given some kind of serum, what's her backstory. And then it was Natasha which makes sense but still it would have been cool. Like Helen Mirren in RED and REDS. Now I want Helen Mirren in a Marvel movie.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I thought I read somewhere (io9, maybe?) that one of them will end up moving their date. (Or that may have been speculation that someone posted. But it sounds right to me. I can't imagine them both opening the same weekend.)
