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.

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

Is it me, or do a lot of people miss the fact that the whole "Language!" thing in Age of Ultron was a joke?

I feel like it was played pretty straight, which was the joke, though I can also see how it might not be entirely in-character for, you know, a soldier. I'd say Steve wasn't 100% serious but he wasn't 100% not serious either.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I thought it was played straight, too. (And was actually not in character, either. But whatever, let's go for a cheap joke.)

I get tired of Joss' running jokes. But I had a lot of issues with Ultron, especially how it pretty much ignored all the things Tony went through in the Iron Man movies.

That, and they kept ragging on him for going off on his own and not including the team. Yeah, so what the fuck was Thor doing any differently? I don't see it and nobody jumped all over him. Plus! He was the one that actually enabled Vision's creation.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

No one was really in character. No. One.

1. Yeah, but -- Tony also created the murderbot; and

2. This discussion really should be in the Marvel thread. It has Avengers curtains and everything!

(I originally posted this in the Marvel thread. So that was weird.)

You're right. That's going to take some getting used to.

I have posted a rant over there.

Compassionately intolerant

I was totally gobsmacked by Fury Road.

So much more fun than I expected. It felt like a perfect homage to the original...though I have not seen that one in a very long time. Honestly, I think it is better than the original!

Completely, surreally, cracktastic.

PS: Anyone who shares my needle phobia needs to go with someone who will cover your eyes for a couple of scenes. EEeek.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

FAQ!Wife is interested in seeing Fury Road with me, but wants to know are any kids are harmed in it?
