Simon ,'Safe'
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.
I need to see it again, but I'm pretty sure I like IM3 better than the first, because of the themes of dealing with your personal demons, and learning that when you take away your armor and crutches, you can STILL deal with those demons.
Plus, giant bunny.
It is fun to watch Tony remember he was a badass before the armor and still is. The montage in the hardward store is delightful.
These are the reasons that IM3 is my favorite of the three.
And we ALL come out of the woodwork.
Plus! RHODEY SWASHBUCKLING!
I have a soft spot in my cold, dark heart for IM2, too, but I recognize that it's objectively not very good.
Addled Trevor is terrific--especially since you're not sure just how addled he is.
We now pause for this commercial announcement:
Kids! Head down to your neighborhood HEB and see if they have the Mara Jade action figure in stock!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
Just having the GotG soundtrack on my phone makes me happy, even though I haven't begun to listen to it yet.
Yeah, I downloaded it and listened to it once--it is happy-making.
I said the other night that I think I already have half the soundtrack in my iTunes, and Tim said, "I think we played half the soundtrack at our wedding!" (I think the Jackson 5 song was actually "ABC", though.)
I am glad they stuck with that through the movie. And that they didn't use Don't Stop Believing (because Losers).
