I hadn't seen the first one! Thank you! Gleebling now goes to a whole other level

Jilli tried to stage an intervention to get me to stop staring at it. She failed.

Oh my. Didn't quite see the bet of the workout photo Cavill released just before B v. S, but it's not far shy.

How can we get them in a friendly competition like Evans had with Pratt, only featuring increasingly revealing photos?

Do yo think some sort of UN resolution would make it happen? Or would it just work on one of them?

I think what we really need is to focus on the men of Marvel. Surely, SURELY, there could be some sort of competition between Mackie, Stan, and Evans with that as the goal.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Who said this? Was it on Facebook? What I really want is just a movie about Steve, Sam, and Bucky's road trip in that old beetle.

I have simple needs.

And Bucky needs a damn headband.

I'm nostalgia thread mining.

From Matt, on the possibility of Evans as Cap:

It'll make me a little sad if his doing so means no chance of Fantastic Four cameos in any of the upcoming movies. However good a Cap he might make, I haven't seen anyone so born to play a particular comic book character since Shelley Duvall was cast as Olive Oyl.

IO9 really like Captain America. They did describe it as a war film with superpowers, which gives me teensy pause, since I don't like war films. But I like superpowers, so I'm in.

me

I thought it was amazeballs.

and then later, me again

Anyone else seen Captain America yet?

And if you have, do you also want The Howling Commandos to get their own spin-off movie?

Seriously, it's made of pink sparkle hearts and I totally blame Chris Evans.

Also, holy crap, I hadn't realized I'd seen it so soon after seeing Third Star, so I was well into Sherlock Fandom when it came out, but it feels like MCU Cap has been part of my life forever and Sherlock was just a fandom ago.

Matt again

Just got back from Captain America. I think it may be the best comics-based movie I've ever seen.

I listed my cry points as (note: I actually reliably start tearing up at "I gotta put her in the water" these days, not sure how I missed it):

I got sniffly when the rescued guys come back, and again when he couldn't get drunk and was just so SAD about Bucky.

Man, I've been having this sort of melancholy-but-not-distraught missingness of people this week, with the first May the Fourth since SW:TFA and with the last Cap movie, and man, so many people who should have been seeing Civil War last night. I raise my glass to them.

Neal McDonough is the Big Bad in this season of Arrow, and I refused to believe that was Dum Dum Dugan. And then I was watching CA:TFA in January for the first time since McDonough took that Big Bad role, and I shrieked at Dum Dum Dugan, "Evil! He's EVIL!!!"

What I'm saying is, he's a damn good actor.

HEE!

Well, he also looks way different without the 'stache. I didn't recognize him without it whenever it was Evans was affectionately mauling him last year.
