That meme reminded me to be publicly impressed with what Chris Pratt did to himself. Damn, son.
One of you is gonna fall and die, and I'm not cleaning it up!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.
Though it was 1980, don't forget Blues Brothers. "I hate Illinois Nazis."

That was in my white-font, but I failed at indicating there was white-font.

Oh, oops. I didn't realize there was white font. It's sneaky that way.

Thrive to spite them
Somehow I have a subscription to US magaizine. It just showed up around the holidays and I have no idea where it came from so I flip through it and then recycle it.
There was a mini review of Winter Soldier the only good thing was the big picture was Natasha running with an insent picture of Captain America.
They gave the movie 2 starts out of 4.
Here's a comic book flick in which the audience has a superpower: the ability to anticipate very beat on screen! Now unfrozen from World War II, the super-soldier teams up with frisky Natasha to flush out the villan who as compromised their agency. (Naturally, the entire world is at stake.) Every gotcha twist leads to a bombastic explosion, which leads to a groaner of a quip ("I guess he's the bad guy!"). Consider this pure Marvel filler until Avengers 2.
The other reviews I've seen have been positive. And everyone at work loved it. Another coworker and I were kind of teasing someone (who was seeing it after work) by quoting randomly or making vague references.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Why the fuck is Natasha "frisky"? Why do I want to kill everyone?

Most of the negative reviews I've seen seem to be from folks who don't actually like superhero movies.
I read one that complained about the "generic quick-cut action where it's impossible to tell what's going on that's in all action films these days" and I had to wonder what film they were watching. One of the things I liked about CA:tWS was that I could actually tell what was going on in most of the fight scenes and they did some really nifty stuff with Cap's shield.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, yeah, I often have trouble following what is actually going on in fight scenes lately, but not in Winter Soldier. Even with the 3D blur.
