Here's a bootleg of the Infinity Wars teaser. It sort of confirms that Loki's staff has an infinity stone in it.

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.
Katee Sackoff seems so perfect for it
Nah. She's too... I dunno. She's not my Carol. I'm very meh on her, TBH.
Now to find the footage from the Marvel Event. The one with Steve and the logs.
Mmmm.... logs. Sorry, but yesterday, about a zillion lumberjack fantasies people NEVER KNEW THEY HAD were activated.
It took less than 24 hours for there to be a Clint Barton's Farm canonical tag on Ao3. Fic happened FAST.
Lumberjack Steve appears to not yet have reached 3 uses.
I'm trying so very hard to get my T-shirt problem under control, but I am being very tempted by this GotG shirt.
I'm watching Hansel and Gretel, and the gore is a bit too much for me when it's there. But what ticked me off was when H and G reunite in the cabin and he sees her face and asks, all big brother "I'm gonna whoop someone's ass" "Who did this to you?", and I really wish she'd retorted "Who did this to you?!", especially since both of their faces are fucked up at that point. Um, she's your badass sister who has been killing witches and getting the shit beat out of her in the process since you were kids, she was the one who ganked the first witch first. Are you seriously going to cop a women-are-the-weaker-sex attitude and they need protecting? This isn't even a feminist sticking point, but one based on the world which we're shown, with what they've been through, where they are equal partners, in giving violence and receiving it. The protective-big-brother vibe seemed out of place. Too coddling.
Did anyone else see Book of Life? I thought it was pretty cool, what did you think?
Now I'm watching Jack Reacher, and the fight scene halfway through was the most hilarious I've seen to date. Just the two guys getting in each others way and doing more destruction to the room around them than to their target. But choreographed well enough as to not devolve into slapstick.
Okay, so who else has seen John Wick because we need to talk about how fucking great it is. I agree with this entire review. The action scenes are creative and kinetic: John is very focused on maneuvering his enemies and his environment in order to most efficiently kill people. It's hard to pick a favorite kill but I am especially fond of hitting a guy with a car and then shooting him through the fucking roof. But what elevates the film is how smartly written it is: it masterfully implies worldbuilding and character history with very little in the way of direct exposition. Credit also goes to the many talented actors in small roles. It's bloody and violent but it also gets plenty of crowd-pleasing laughs. This is a movie that reduced the entire audience to uncontrollable laughter with the word "Oh." Plus, it has way cool subtitles.
If John Wick looks like the kind of movie you want to see, you definitely want to see it.
Wow, really? The ads were not making me want to see it at all, but you are making it sound right up my alley.
