Haven't seen the Avengers yet, plan to remedy that in less than an hour. Of the pre-movies, I enjoyed them all, but especially Iron Man 1 and Captain America. I liked The Hulk, but it was a different actor so I don't think it counts. I like Thor, but thought it was kind of light weight. Iron Man 2 wasn't bad, just not as good.

I really liked the way Captain America captured the feel of the past. It felt like an old fashioned movie which made his waking up in 20whatever so jarring.

So I just talked to Emmett to encourage him to make pancakes for his mom.

Me: So how's your weekend so far?
Emmett: Pretty good. I was up really late last night so I'm really tired.
Me: Did you and Jake have an all-night gaming session or what?
Emmett: No, we went to a Quinceanera for this girl that Jake knew. And then we stayed after with some folks there.
Me: ::lightbulb going off:: So...did you make out with a girl last night?
Emmett: Yes. Yes, I did.

Emmett: Yes. Yes, I did.

Good for him!

I have spent the last 2 days mainlining all the movies: Iron Man 2, Capt. America, Thor, and Incredible Hulk. I now feel prepared for the Avengers.

I thought Capt. America was boring but pretty. Needed to be shirtless more. Thor was marginally better, and also needed to be shirtless more. I enjoyed Iron Man 2, but I generally like RDJ in everything. I loved the Incredible Hulk.

Good for him!

Really, is there a better place for a 15 y.o. boy to find girls to kiss than at a Quinceanera?

Going to see Avengers again in an hour.

I didn't see the The Incredible Hulk. Which actor played Banner, and why did they get a different guy for Avengers? I like Buffalo. Not sure I want to see a different Bruce Banner now.

Which actor played Banner, and why did they get a different guy for Avengers?

Edward Norton. And he had another commitment. But I think he talked Ruffalo into taking the part.

Go, Emmett!

Bobby went to pick up our Avengers tickets since for some reason I couldn't get them on-line which is my usual method. Assigned seats! A first for me. Granted I rarely go to the movies anymore because I prefer to wait and watch at home with all the amenities.

Not having been a 15 yo boy, I'm not sure, but that is def. a target rich environment!

Not sure I want to see a different Bruce Banner now.

Edward Norton was really good (unsurprisingly).

I'm glad Norton couldn't do it, I don't like him. I didn't really know who Ruffalo was, but I just added a bunch stuff he'd been in on Netflix/

Not sure I want to see a different Bruce Banner now.

Yeah, I didn't see the Hulk movie, and I don't really feel inclined to now, because Ruffalo just nailed it.
