windemereSo, apprently certain people had failed to see the Avengers movie, despite the fact that it's been out for 6 weeks in England (or is that 8?) and since Dark Knight is to be released soon we figured the Epic Movie Trip should happen this week before, you know, we had to wait until September and iTunes are something unappealing like that.
Fifth time and this movie is not less funny. It may be more funny. It's hard to tell. I just laugh at so much of it. I have most of it memorised now and so can appreciate the delivery more. And the delivery is brilliant. It's the first time I realise how excellently Scarlett nails her Tasha lines, other than the funny ones like 'I don't see how that's a party' and 'It's just like Budapest' [though Hawkeye's response to that last line is SPOT ON FANTASTIC.]
I could also pay more attention to Fury this time around, but spent most of the scenes watching Hill, actually, and noting just how AWESOME she is, especially at the beginning with the car chase, much of which she had to have done herself. Cobbie is The Best New Action Hero Ever. Now I came back to Maria Hill fic, so all is right with the world tonight.
Also, the gals I saw it with agreed with me on All The Points, which makes a movie better, as you know. I spent the entire watching going through the following Feelings:
It's okay Bruce. Have a hug.
Oh, Steve.
Thor is AWESOME.
Loki is sort of adorable, but that may be Tom Hiddleston instead and I'm projecting. Still, he just looks like he needs someone to love him.
Coulson is The Man. And so still alive.
Fury is actually pretty cool in this movie. He's clearly moved away from the position of being owned by a higher authority and has take the step to engineer things the way he sees fit. Which mostly worked out to everyone's advantage. *cough*Phil*cough*
NATASHA!!!!!
Just smile for me Clint and all will be right with the world. Also, Avengers 2 is going to have a Katniss joke, we all know it.
Tony, Tony, Tony. Stop being so awesome. It physically hurts to laugh these days. And Robert? Please stop looking at me like that. All I want to do is jump you, and you're married. With kids. So that would end badly. But it might actually be worth it.
PEPPER! PEPPER! PEPPER! You totally get 112% next time.
Hill you are The Best. That is all.
SITWELL! I didn't even notice you the first four times. How cool is that? You're just...there. And unassuming. And it's brilliant. I need to go watch The Consultant Again. [And AFTHOTWTTH. Because.]
Anyways, FEELINGS. Also, the latest room is a Nick Fury movie with the origins of his story and how Tasha and Clint got caught up in SHIELD. Which I am sort of alright with, but I'd rather have the Black Widow movie with Hawkeye's story crossing paths. Still, beggers can't be choosers. And I'm quite willing to beg at this point. Fangirl begging. It's like an art form. And Olympic sport. It's a thing of....
Excuse me, I have a fic about Thor, a Dalek and kitchen utensils to finish. [I swear it makes sense.]
In ending news, today will go down as the WORST MONDAY in ages. Even though it ended fantastically. And I had a great meeting with Ross too, and have the next 6 months planned out (including writing another paper by October...yay?) I hope the morning/afternoon's disaster is over.

Date: 2012-07-09 09:41 pm (UTC)Also, I'm so very jealous of the fact that you've seen The Avengers five times! I read this and instantly looked to see if it's still playing here in Holland. Unfortunately, it's only playing in 3D in The Hague (closest to me anyway) at 1:45 in the afternoon. This makes it too expensive and poorly timed for me to go see it. :( And that makes me sad!! Since I started reading that fic I sent you I've been dying for a Hawkeye fix. *Cries*

Okay, you say "someone to love him". I say "someone to toss him around like a rag doll... again". But po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehhehehe. Tried to explain to K on the walk home the concept of crack!fic. Not sure she understood.

Date: 2012-07-10 03:28 pm (UTC)Of course, you'd have to share Clint with Tasha. But hey, I'll take Tony hands down. If you get Clint too though, I want full rights to Phil. Jane can keep Thor though. I don't want that headache.
Steve can find his own owner.
