After seeing it four times, it ended up in my top five ever.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I read an article I really disagreed with, where the author was so angry that the movie CLEARLY expected us to sympathize with Thanos and I just didn't see it. To me, it's in "Cool motive, still murder" territory.

It definitely expected us to see his point of view and understand his motivations, but I didn't read it as expecting us to condone it. I mean, he's a zealot with a fucked up worldview that, yeah, is informed by what happened to his planet, but STILL AN ARROGANT, ABUSIVE, GENOCIDAL ZEALOT.

Evil with an element of rationality is even more frightening than evil that's just acting of twisted emotions. Thanos turning Gamora's face from the massacre of her people is caring, considerate, and horrible. He knows what he's doing is terrible and upsetting, but he thinks it's acceptable.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Looks like Agents of Shield is catching up with the movie next week with the season finale. They are already up to the first NYC event from the movie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Agents of SHIELD has been renewed.
Huh, was not expecting that.

13 episode season, but no one's saying if it's just to wrap things up. Maybe they're going to put in another miniseries. I think most shows would benefit from a shorter season, less clumsy filler.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
13 episode season
I'm wondering if they'll wait to air it until next summer.
