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

Either that or they're preparing to travel back in time... to before Labor Day.

Dead from laughing!!!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was reading a news article about Stark Enterprises ... I hoped but it was a different Stark.

So, was that the Guardian's ship flying into New York? I guess it's New York.

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

James Gunn is back on GotG3, reportedly.

That happened sooner than I'd expected.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Interesting. I didn't think they'd cave, considering how long it's been. OTOH, maybe Bryan Singer makes Gunn look pretty good now.

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

I loved Captain Marvel and of course I especially loved Goose.

I thought Fury took the loss of his eye pretty well, considering. Maybe it's because he knew he should've just used some hydrogen peroxide.

I knew they'd bring James Gunn back. Surprised it took so long.

Still haven't seen Into the Spider-Verse.

Finally saw Venom. I enjoyed it a lot, much better version of Venom than the Spider-Man 3 Topher Grace one. Also, Eddie and Venom are totally in love and if you haven't looked at the fanart... yeah, maybe you shouldn't.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Venom is the GODDAMN BEST.

But so is Into The Spider-Verse, for different reasons. It's so, SO good.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Just got back from Captain Marvel. I really enjoyed it.

As someone who came of age during the 90's I loved the music and the other little shout outs. Stan Lee's cameo was perfection.

I did tear up a bit at the opening animation.

I was really not expecting sympathetic Skrulls.

CGI Fury seemed to work better than CGI Coulson, for me. I agree that the latter was more uncanny valley. Maybe it helps that Samuel L. Jackson has such a prolific film career, giving them more source material to work from?

Edited because "the" is not "that."

We saw it last night, and I didn't expect to tear up at the opening tribute to Stan Lee.

I legit punched the air and whispered "Fuck YES" when she just shot Jude Law with her powers. And while I get the narrative reasoning behind her sending him back to deliver a message, I am a bloodthirsty creature and really wanted her to just stomp his face in. But I know, Marvel movie, so it would never happen.

The music was great, but I agree that "I'm Just A Girl" over the big fight was not the choice I would have gone with. And the closing credits once again reminded me that while she's a terrible person, Courtney Love writes catchy songs.
