Angel ,'Conviction (1)'
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.
GotG was fun. Not the ZOMG BEST MARVEL MOVIE EVAH!111! that some people hailed it as, but a lot of fun.
I now know I need some sort of spoiler warning for tragic backstory involving maternal deathbed scenes in hospitals. I'm assuming it was mildly sad for people who don't have my baggage.
Jilli, I wept openly, and I don't even have that particular set of luggage.
It was super sad, and that is not my particular baggage.
I cry at anything, but let's just say I would have liked to know as well since it really, really wasn't the best choice for a long-distance movie date when both of us had gone through that too young.
I thought Karen Gillan did a great job as Nebula, personally.
Phew. I am back on the internet, having finally seen GotG!
Re: rankings...
1. CATWS
2. CATFA
3. IM3
4. GotG (depending on mood, could swap out with the above)
5. Avengers
6. IM
7. IM2
8. Thor
I haven't seen Thor 2, and I only have the novelization of the Hulk one (don't ask, because I can't explain.)
You like Iron Man 3 better than Iron Man (the first)?
How is that even possible in our space time continuum?
Stop defying the laws of physics with your whackadoodle taste.
It is possible!
If they could retroactively insert Don Cheadle into Iron Man, though, it'd be totally different. Well, maybe.
But I think that the subject matter of IM3, and the idea that we create our own demons, is just really interesting.
The free movies I can get this week include "Oz the Great & Powerful". Worth watching? Or ~90 minutes of my life I will never get back?
Use that 90 minutes for a dental visit. Would be more enjoyable.

She's not the only one. Of course, I didn't think the first one was the best thing since sliced bread, and RDJ's performance in 3 dialed the smugness down from 11 to maybe a 6, which made Tony a lot easier to sympathize with.
