"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh, just wanted to warn folks that I saw The Lazarus Effect over the weekend, and it's pure, distilled boredom. Basically like a Private Practice episode where one of the doctors comes back from the dead to torment and kill the rest of them in the most cliched ways possible, only without the satisfaction of the actual Private Practice doctors being on the receiving end.

There was only one silver lining in the movie, and that was Donald Glover's character explaining that humans-only-use-10%-of-their-brains chestnut correctly .

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Matt, your whitefont kinda makes me want to see it! But I already saw Flatliners.

Flatliners was a far, far better movie.

New Avengers Trailer!

Not sure how I feel about Nat/Bruce

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

I feel great about Nat/Bruce. Not sure how I feel about anything else, though.

I have mixed feelings about the whitefont. It depends on what they do with it.

I feel pretty good about the rest.

Joss appears to have finally got a grip on Steve's characterization, which is something he didn't really have before. He got the prize for Avenger Least Like His Solo Films, and Just Woke Up is Really a Fanwank for Slipshod Writing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I officially CANNOT wait for this movie. I feel pretty good about the whitefont.

I assume that was Vision at the end of the trailer, yes? (Wait, do we need to whitefont what's in a trailer? Damn it, I miss ita again. Still. More.)

I have a problem with Spader's voice as Ultron, in that I think it's really wrong for me to be turned on by an evil robot's voice. But come on. It's James freaking Spader.

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

I am intrigued by the white-font, since theirs was my favourite dynamic in the first movie. I hope they don't go overboard with it though.

Mostly, I'm just happy the movie seems to have a lot of Bruce, since he's my favourite.

Steph, yes, that was Vision and whoa. I was not very happy with his inclusion, but since he's played by Paul Bettany I'm feeling better about it. (I don't think we have to whitefont what's in a trailer, but I don't know how common the knowledge of his casting is.) As I recall, Vision was a Spock-like character, and I of course like that. It was his color scheme I always thought was ugly.

I'm confused about the AIs, though. Does JARVIS become Ultron? Or Vision? Does JARVIS go away or just copy himself? I don't want JARVIS to go away! Maybe we're not supposed to know this yet.
