I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

Yeah, we missed the next minute or so of dialogue

Totally. And, during the prison fight and at The Collector's and roughly 1/3 of the whole dang movie. So much laughing and shouting.

Most of Peter Quill being an unlikeable smartass was in them, so that character was a lot easier to sympathize with in the film as a whole.

Absolutely this, too. I expected to be rolling my eyes at the lead throughout, but ended up finding that character completely charming.

In future installments, I hope Gamora is given more dialog beyond rolling her eyes at pretty much everyone.

And, with all due respect to Amy Pond fans, I felt like Karen Gillan proved again that she can't really act her way out of a wet paper bag. She didn't have much to work with, of course, but still. On the other hand, her paint job was beautiful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Iron Man 1
Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor 1
Captain America 1
Avengers
Iron Man 3
Thor 2
Captain America 2
Guardians of the Galaxy

Which would you rate as your top 3? And which as the worst?

For me, it's 5, 1, 6, and the second Thor as the worst.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Which Incredible Hulk is that? Norton?

I still haven't seen Iron Man 3, so I'm DQed I think.

I think the Norton Hulk is considered continuity for this go round. I haven't seen it, but I voted anyway.

Oh, okay. This is hard. Let's see, top three: 9,6,10. It's possible that recency of viewing affects my judgement more than it should, but I'll own that. Worst: Iron Man 2. That was pretty bad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Iron Man 3 was atrocious. I have not seen Iron Man 2 so I am startled to hear that it is worse than IM3.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I liked Iron Man 3.

I haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet. Iron Man 2 made me question whether the franchise should really keep going. I recommend against watching it, le n.

At least they had RDJ in them. My complaints about Thor 2 have no off button.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I haven't seen Thor 2. From what I know about it, I think I will feel the way some people feel about IM2.
