- is that a bathrobe? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 14:13

  - I wouldn't mind being burdened with the problem of looking better without my clothes than with... -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 14:17 2

    - Unless she gets into drugs/booze/dead...I don't see it....all she has to do is stand there and jiggle. - Will Hunting Apr 30, 14:40
  - and what the hell did Goodwin do to herself? nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 14:11 4

        yeah, that was a couple of years ago. she has gone edgy with the hair and makeup. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 14:17
    - Meh, at least she's not wearing a freaking hotel bathrobe. -- nm - Ender Apr 30, 14:13

CITY! -- nm - pixitude Apr 30, 13:54
Also, with regards to Whedon, you guys know he wrote two years worth of Avengers comics, right? - David Apr 30, 13:51 30
- I didn't know this. (I expect that most people who aren't fans of Whedon or Marvel know this either) -- nm - Roger More Apr 30, 14:05 6
  - if they watch any kind of press for it this week, they'll know as it will be brought up over and over -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:14
  - Then I 'm curious. Does that change your perception about these not being Whedon characters? -- nm - David Apr 30, 14:06 4
    - No, not really. Marvel established the characters and has worked with them for 40 years. If Whedon is comfortable with them and has a history with - Roger More Apr 30, 14:16 3
      - They're more Whedon's than some random director just as Campbell has a better claim to Bond than someone who hasn't directed a movie in the franchise. -- nm - David Apr 30, 14:21 1
        
        A more prestigious example then - I wouldn't say Hamlet is a Laurence Olivier character. - Roger More Apr 30, 14:30
      - I agre BUT - I am going in expecting some JW flavor to them. -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:21
- And he is just so good with CHARACTERS (Buffy/Firefly) -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 13:57 2
  - I'm confused, my sarcasm detector is going off, but I'm not sure why. -- nm - Ender Apr 30, 13:58 1
    - Not sarcastic. I found his ability to make characters - characters great. He does humor without being stupid IMO - Capstern Apr 30, 14:00
- uh...X-men there David -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 13:54 15
  - Same diff. - David Apr 30, 13:56 14
    - heh I know. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:00 13
      - Rem I didnt see but I assume you are excited to see this? I am not sure the last movie I looked forward to this much -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:03 12
        
        sawit. Best Super Hero movie ever. from top to bottom. - Remlik Apr 30, 14:04 11
        
        Now more excited....asking (spolierish) - Capstern Apr 30, 14:06 10
        
        they're assuming you know the backstory of the characters who've had movies. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:13 5
        
        just curious, how necessary is it to have seen the prior movies? - znufrii Apr 30, 14:16 4
        
        I would bet none. Do you understand the nature of super hero vs supervillian...probably covers is -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:22
        
        I think if you haven't seen them you will be fine. Will you get more out of it if you do? yes - Remlik Apr 30, 14:20
        
        Thor is a crazy, drunken demigod. Captain America is a WW2 hero displaced in time to the 21st century. - David Apr 30, 14:18
        
        yeah, it helps to know a bit of the back story, but in no means is it necessary IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 14:17
        
        well (spoils) - groiny Apr 30, 14:08 3
        
        Well i asked because about 2 months or more ago - someone on here was arguing that (spoils) - Capstern Apr 30, 14:14 2
        
        that was my concern before I saw it. - groiny Apr 30, 14:16 1
        
        How did you see it already? Thought it was you wasnt sure -- nm - Capstern Apr 30, 14:23

- record it on your phone for her -- nm - peglegpete Apr 30, 13:49
- hop her up on Red Bull and 5 hour energies. - groiny Apr 30, 13:48

        Their last original was Up so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to non-sequal movies -- nm - oblique Apr 30, 14:11
        
        Can't blame you for being unhappy with their sudden case of sequelitus. -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 14:10
    - with you there on Prometheus....I *knew* Avengers woulld be good, but not as awesome as it is...Prometheus - Remlik Apr 30, 13:55 5
      - I can't decide if I should watch Alien with my son so he can go with me to this. He's seen Aliens but Alien is very different -- nm - oblique Apr 30, 13:56 4
        
        it might be to tense for him. Aliens is tense but there's lots of action to distract from it -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 14:03 3
        
        Zombieland is a must, though :) -- nm - oblique Apr 30, 14:04 2

Hulu making moves to making a cable subscription needed to be able to watch Hulu -- (link) - Remlik Apr 30, 13:34 2
- Mmm. I could see this being functional for Hulu but if they required if for Hulu Plus it seems like a slap in the face to people who subscribed - oblique Apr 30, 13:36 1
  - seems that's what they are going to do. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 13:37

I enjoyed all of the tie-in movies, but Avengers is better than any one of them. - groiny Apr 30, 13:30 8

  - I have my tickets from Friday Night. - groiny Apr 30, 13:37 1
    - Even as a Joss fan, I was shocked how much I enjoyed it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 30, 13:39
- Joss just *gets* it. - Iron Spawn Apr 30, 13:31 4
  - maybe, but I am not a fan of Serenity or Firefly. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 30, 13:32 3
    - I...you...what? -- nm - David Apr 30, 13:57 1
      - it's a " toss off the ST Island" type of offense - Epiphany Apr 30, 14:00
    - Sitting that aside, I mean, he really understands the characters, what makes them work, and how to make them work together. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 30, 13:34
Tevez subbed out at 67 minutes -- nm - pixitude Apr 30, 13:26
at least 39.6 million people watched at least one part of the NFL draft -- nm - Beaker Apr 30, 13:22 1

I'm afraid of Znumericans - Beryllium Apr 30, 13:22
the masters of progressive rock and crazy track names are still Brand X -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 30, 13:21 2
- I've listened to that stuff. it's quite good. but seems more jazzy to me. -- nm - Remlik Apr 30, 13:22 1

    - f- yeah! -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 30, 13:22
is CSN considered separate from CSN&Y? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 13:19 5
- yup and seperate from CSI-NY -- nm - peglegpete Apr 30, 13:22 1
  - Oh yeah that was the album they recorded with Julio Iglesias in the late 70s. -- nm - rollo Apr 30, 13:27
- They have recorded under both incarnations, so yes ... When Young is included their sound is a little more rock, without him, a little more folk -- nm - rollo Apr 30, 13:22 2
  - or, as crosby noted, when they record and/or tour with Young they make money, when they don't, they don't -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 13:25 1
    - Heh. -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 14:17
[deleted] 30

    - aw, *hell* no. - znufrii Apr 30, 13:27
    - there's only one logical solution: have them make the wedding cake into a pot wedding cake. - TFox Apr 30, 13:27 6
      - get some estacy from some guy at the liquor store -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 13:53

        can you slip her same valium that morning? -- nm - Andie Apr 30, 13:29 2
        
        then if she drinks alcohol later, she could pass out. -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 13:32
        
        [deleted]
  - [deleted]
- drinking toooo much the night before probably ruins the most weddings of any preventable situation -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 30, 13:21 1
  - i think all you can do is suggest to the groom that he really shouldn 't get blasted, he should be at his best as the wedding takes place before every - zeitgeist Apr 30, 13:30
