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.

Marvel schedules Captain America 3 to open the weekend as Batman v Superman: [link]

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.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh man...wait a second, didn't Marvel already do something like this? I thought they'd already scheduled something on top of Batman vs. Superman, or did that already happen, and then they moved their release date, and Marvel scheduled on top of them again?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I suppose Marvel might move their date at a later point to avoid conflict and maximize profits. But with the trend of decisions publicly announced about the Man of Steel sequel so far, DC might just double down by following the Cap movie to the new date and revealing that Shaq, Olivia DeHavilland, and Gilbert Gottfried have been cast as Marvin, Wendy, and Wonderdog.

Ha, the movie has inspired a (spoilery) meme.

The sloth is AWESOME.

Saturday night we were watching the old Wonder Woman TV show, and for some reason there were (whitefonting because the description could lead people who haven't seen CA2 yet to put 2 and 2 together) Nazis (despite it being the 1970s) who cloned Hitler (I am not even joking about that shit).

Wonder Woman and Steve infiltrated, like they do, and clone!Hitler was delivering a rousing speech, which made me keep yelling "Hail Hydra!" at the TV. But I wasn't even CLOSE to being as cute as that sloth.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Steph, not an uncommon trope at the time. For example, Boys from Brazil or Marathon Man, movies from the '70s where the villains were also Nazis .
