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.

Without knowing anything that I didn't just read on wikipedia, I am a little more interested in Ragnarok if it's the comic book cyborg clone of Thor and not the mythological battle that kills Odin, Thor, Loki, Heimdall, etc.

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

Oh man I forgot about him! Now I wonder if that's what they're doing. Ha.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The subtitle of the next Captain America movie has me very, very worried.

Again, according to my extensive 5 minutes of reading wikipedia, apparently it comes out of the Civil War business?

Word. I am not stoked about a serious Iron Man-Captain America fight.

edit: But some tense debate between the two of them as they fight some other problem, that would work.

I did not know that! Maybe you're onto something!

Feige says their adaptation of Civil War will be about governments wanting to control superheroes rather than secret identities. Maybe the Superhuman Registration Act will not so much be about registering your identity but having to work for the government.

having to work for the government.

That could be interesting. Steve is perceived as "My country right or wrong" but he's an idealist and he saw how corruption can taint good organizations. Tony is a practitioner of realpolitik and has no problem with using whatever tools he can get his mitts on. But he's also seen his tech abused by corruption.

I do think that the MCU has set a nice precedent for things going very much NOT in line with comics canon (e.g. what happened with Extremis), so maybe I don't have to worry quite so much.

My dissatisfaction with the potential Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange news is multi-faceted: 1) the feeling that there have been too many Marvel movies with white dude leads already, 2) I'm still angry that there are no Black Widow move plans, 3) Benedict Cumberbatch certainly can do the role in his sleep, so as a choice, it feels kinda boring and predictable?, 4) my limited knowledge of Dr. Strange is that he's a brilliant, mysterious asshole, and I've seen Benedict Cumberbatch play this type of character so much recently that I don't feel compelled to see him do it in another franchise.

Thanks to PMM, now I need to add: 5) I want to see BC do a comedy.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I have the Cumberbatch fatigue. I think he's a fine, interesting actor, but I feel he is way overexposed at this point. I have a less intense but similar feelings about Jennifer Lawrence -- I like Lawrence A LOT yet someone invoked her name in Captain Marvel casting game and my first reaction was to groan.
