Just FYI: the spoiler tags do not work if you are using the Default forum theme. (blue/white)

Edit: nevermind, not true. I had to allow a script, which is up to the user to allow/not allow if they use such browser tools.

EditEdit: if you're using a scriptblocker tool, it's the amazonaws one you have to allow, or you won't be spoiler-protected.

And now on to more about the cinema, motion picture, nikelodeon world...

I tried to post in the previous thread, but the new forum had logged me out and wouldn't recognize my credentials. So I accidentally posted as a Guest and got moderated 😛

My new password is 0p3r@1!0n 7@13x 1ur173 obviously, so now I can post again.

 

But now I don't want to say clever things about Avengers anymore.

Just that LadyCrimson needn't watch it. She has played enough JRPGs to know how the plot goes ;)

Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

    The whole plot has been released on wiki. Mmmm, spoilers.

    I've been working until late and I won't be able to watch Avengers on the weekend. I should probably call sick next week, because there is only so long you can avoid spoilers.

    Saw it yesterday. Spent 40 dollars on food and drink. That place had good bar burgers and fries, though.

     Really weird, bizarre, and kind of off-putting movie that still had a lot of interesting stuff. Some of it seemed kind of acid-induced.

    Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    I did too. The venue was just outside work so that was pretty comfortable, and had a pretty nice Pringles-coke combo which completely violates the Kermode Code of Conduct but still made me quite giddy. Screen was half-full, oddly enough, but luckily not too noisy (which was for the better since the audio seemed a bit on the low end). It was somewhat annoying that the theatre doesn't number its seats, which should by now be a standard across all theatre chains. The service otherwise was good, the room was pretty clean and the chairs rather comfortable. The hallway leading into the screen was curiously long and winding, and was reminiscent of a precolombine shrine in its almost womblike structure.

    Just came back from Endgame. Loved it, despite some of it making no sense at all.

    I can't believe Hulk and Thanos did a fusion dance and became Thulkos.

    Also, can't wait for the broflakes to get pissy over that one scene. You know the one.

    good news for shady is there is another rian johnson movie on the way

    Knives Out

    am always a bit suspicious o' overt overstuffed casts, but maybe this gets shady to 2-2 on johnson... which sounds a bit gross and a little lewd 'pon momentary reflection.  apologies.

    HA! Good Fun!

    I wonder who gets there first. There are scenes to get angry over for everyone.

    I guess there'll be some outrage over Black Widow sacrificing herself for an angry white male, even though it makes perfect sense for the character to do just that.

    Sums up my feelings pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised by Infinity War, now I'm a bit disappointed by Endgame, and at the risk of making this weird, Volo is actually partially right for a change. Everything happens in exactly the way it has to, and while I don't agree that the film was boring, it sure felt longer than it was.

    We were both wrong it seems. First article I encountered was

    Thor's portrayal is fat-shaming.

    Last night I watched the Bruce Willis version of Death Wish. It sucked. The 70's version with Charles Bronson was better... a little at least. But of course they ruined that with sequels.

    I posted this in a DC subreddit:
      

    MCU vs. DCEU is kinda like Coke vs. Pepsi.

DCEU is the Pepsi.

    And got immediately banned by the subreddit.  DC fanboi are really butthurting right now.
