Wasn't there some rule where we aren't supposed to put youtube videos in spoiler tags? I think it like, kills the board or something.

Yah, reminder - no spoiler tags containing Youtubes. Not entirely sure why, but they did say it was a capital no-no.

The only good things about the Avengers were the Hulk and RDJ.

For me, the Avengers was campy bullshit. I particularly liked the constant product placement. Like, oh no, the Diet Dr. Pepper truck is being blown to pieces! But really, don't you go in expecting campy bullshit? I feel like if you don't do campy bullshit, you probably should have seen the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this weekend instead.

Sure. You have to expect a level of campiness when you watch any comic book movie. Still, there have been oodles of well-executed campy comic book movies: Superman: The Movie, Batman and X-Men: First Class, to name a few. For me, The Avengers ranked somewhere between Spiderman 3 and The Green Lantern on the campy bullshit meter.

I didn't think the Avengers was all that bad. Just way too long. The floating ship stuff did not need to be there.
What a weird plot line. I can understand if the ship was a key element to them saving the world (even to a small degree) or if the ship was a thing Loki could use to his advantage to destroy the world. But, no. It's just, like, a really "sweet" ship that they want to save.
I also hated the part where they were getting on each others nerves. How corny was that? It reminded me of the part in The Fantastic Four where they were bickering in the apartment for 10hrs.
PS - Fantastic Four is the lowest super hero movie on the Super Hero Movie Totem pole.

IRON MAN RISKED HIS LIFE FOR THAT SHIP!!!!!!!!!! If they can save the world from interstellar warfare, I'm pretty sure they could have found a very fast and efficient alternative to the whole ship debacle.

IRON MAN RISKED HIS LIFE FOR THAT SHIP!!!!!!!!!! If they can save the world from interstellar warfare, I'm pretty sure they could have found a very fast and efficient alternative to the whole ship debacle. This is true. I didn't really think about it when I was in the throes of Joss Whedon's tight plot, but yeah why the fuck didn't they just evacuate that shit? On the other hand I actually liked when they were arguing because there was the constant tension in the background, sometimes coming to the front, of Dr. Banner getting so pissed he greens up. Like every time someone insults someone else, my butthole puckers a bit. That was an intelligent plot device.
I actually really liked how they used Hulk overall, being a constant threat and trying not to take a direct role but everyone knows he's going to, duh. The scene where he's trying to kill Black Widow was straight up horrifying. But I didn't read enough of his comics to know if that portrayal of how he unleashes himself is accurate.

Drew, I get the point of why they were all arguing. I just meant that they could have made it a little better than the 'Hammer To The Head' scene of all the adults suddenly acting like children calling each other "turd faces". It was about as well executed as Megatron summoning the strength to kill Leonard Nimoy because he was called a "bitch". I can't believe that part actually happened, but then I remember who made that movie and it almost looks foolish of me to not think that that part could happen.
PS - I am not 'spoilering' the ending to Transformers 3, because, "FUCK MICHEAL BAY!".

I just finished watching The Devil Inside, and I have no freakin clue why it only received 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. Sure, the ending was abrupt, but HOLY FUCK THAT WAS A FUN MOVIE! I had goosepoops throughout the entire thing. It was like The Exorcist meets Paranormal Activity. Good shit!
Now to watch The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Pea, that movie was el stinko.
However, I'm intrigued by the fun factor you got out of it. It makes me feel like things could get very interesting when the fun begins at Sasquatch. I'm excited scared!

You should actually let me do an exorcism on you when everyone's in full flight at Sasquatch. After some convincing exor-sparring I'll pull a glow stick out of your mouth and you will begin to grin and dance like nothing happened at all.
