I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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

A rematch of the Scott Pilgrim battle, perhaps?

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

Oh, duh. How could I forget that?

I maintain that's Chris Evans' finest role. FIGHT ME.

Is there a female version of "emasculated"? I can't think of a word that describes feeling less of a woman after an event or action.

(inspired by yet another man who apparently resents having to ask for help with his computer and isn't at all happy that the nerds have more power than he does in a situation.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, yeah, the first Fast and the Furious movie is just starting on TV. I don't think I've seen it since the theater.

Father-in-law update: he's moved to his new room on the assisted living side and went to eat lunch in the dining room and apparently is sitting with 3 other men and they're talking about sea turtles. Yay!

Don't know if he has more pants yet, though.

Men of a certain age do like gathering together and talking. Hubby would run into a complete stranger at the grocery store, and I and the other guy's poor wife would spend the next twenty minutes going "Honey, the ice cream's melting" and "Beloved, we need to get home."

And they call women chatterboxes.

My goodness, the dialogue in this movie. It has not aged well, presuming it was ever timely in the first place.

And Vin Diesel is like half the size he is now.

Woo, FiL! Talk about those sea turtles!

I maintain that's Chris Evans' finest role. FIGHT ME.

So I actually am going to argue this point, and surprisingly, not going with Steve Rogers or Jake Jensen with this one!

While he's been solid-to-very good in a number of roles, I am going to give his finest role placement to Nick Gant in Push.

(Finest on a number of levels, BTW. I'd say Peak Hotness as one, but as imperfect and weird a movie as it is, he may actually manage to look better in Gifted. Push is just a much better movie and I watch it as often or more often than Losers OR Winter Soldier.)

LOOK, I THINK ABOUT THIS A LOT.

Best Performance in a Shitty Movie? FF:RotSS

Best Shirtless Performance? WYN

Best Performance in an Elevator? Actually, fuck, this one is harder than it looks. Winter Soldier has the edge. BARELY.

Best Performance to Defeat Anhedonia? Teardrop Diamond
