- How about those Avengers! -- nm - Iron Spawn May 5, 11:54
Where was the penalty that caused that power play? The guys on the radio are losing their minds right now. -- nm - Krusty May 5, 11:51 4
- There was a slash. They showed it on TV. -- nm - Reagen May 5, 11:59

well congrat Borussia Dortmund that was an impressive season - Danedukenuuk May 5, 11:47
TK, here is a spoilers reply to your previous post on Avengers. Favorite it and read it after you've finally seen the film. - David May 5, 11:43 3 2
- Everyone should favorite this, because 8 paragraph David gets it right... - Stephen May 5, 12:22 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - This is sort of my perspective, too. Except I also like Agent Coulson. -- nm - Beryllium May 5, 13:06
"I was going to be the first one in my family to graduate from community college. Everyone else graduated from normal college." -- nm - Reagen May 5, 11:24
Do you think for an Avengers sequel they go to a Civil War storyline? (not a spoiler) - Tim May 5, 11:08 19
- Thanos! Ultron! -- nm - Beaker May 5, 12:50 1
  - Cant do Ultron without Pym ..I agree with the First -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:50
- Kree Skrull War. Avengers 89-97 -- nm - peglegpete May 5, 12:22 6
  - No cause they kreel Skrull havent even been introduced -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:41 5
    - i'm sure any writer can do that in the first 5 minutes of the film -- nm - peglegpete May 5, 12:53 4
      - Then you waste the final scene of this movie and K/S shoul dbe for FF relaunch -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:54 3
        
        I have not seen it yet -- nm - peglegpete May 5, 12:56 2
        
        so you are working with more info than I am. I was only stating what I thought was a great storyline and worth filming. -- nm - peglegpete May 5, 12:57 1
        
        NP - I understad a lot of people assume the movie was Kreel/Skkrull prelude but Whedon made sure to tell people on press wasnt...Chentari - not even - Capstern May 5, 13:06
- Not a chance in hell -- nm - MDH May 5, 11:55
- Absolutely not. They have to be cohesive before being torn apart means anything. - Iron Spawn May 5, 11:53 1
  - and they more or less hinted at what the next and who would be involved in the next one (most likely) -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:42
- they've mentioned it for #3. Problem is...Spidey is such an intergral part of that story (they could use someone else)... - Remlik May 5, 11:18 3
  - because it ties into Secret War? - Tim May 5, 11:20 2
    - FWIW, this is a direct Ultimate Alliance reference in Avengers. (spoilers) - David May 5, 11:21 1
      - Hee. -- nm - Tim May 5, 11:22
- I'm sure that's a future plan as is the Skrulls thing but it won't be for Avengers 2. -- nm - David May 5, 11:16 1
  - Skrulls are SOOOOO Fantastic Four driven to me - I could be wrong but they always seemed to crop up there more (at least in the past) -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:49
- I hope not. (spoilers) - Inigo May 5, 11:12
Does the overwhelming success of The Avengers help the box office of Thor 2, Captain America 2 and Iron Man 3? - Inigo May 5, 10:59 4
- I doubt they signed Ruffalo to such a hefty contract makes me believe at least one more Hulk movie is planned. - David May 5, 11:19 3
  - I will gladly watch THAT Hulk in a movie -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:50
  - Diva said last night and I agree that I could see a Hulk Trilogy with Ruffalo... - Mel Profit May 5, 11:59 1
    - I think Hulk is best as an Ensemble character -- nm - Capstern May 5, 12:51
FA spoils - The Incredible Budice May 5, 10:54
ok - all this Avengers talk is getting to me - if I go see it here on our regular screen - will seeing it in a couple weeks in IMAX 3D be ruined? -- nm - JenBro May 5, 10:48 4
- I don't think the 3D added much, but I love IMAX. -- nm - ceregon May 5, 11:49
- I don't think the 3D adds that much but it somehow doesn't feel like a tacked on grab for higher ticket prices. -- nm - Mel Profit May 5, 10:49
- I HATED my Avengers 3D IMAX screening. So much so that I want to see it again in a 2D showing tomorrow. -- nm - Buzz May 5, 10:49 1
  - ok - heading out then to see the 2:30 showing, then buying microwave, then store for another stash of lean cuisines before they stop the sale price & - JenBro May 5, 10:58
As an aside, our crowd cheered wildly at four different points in Avengers. - David May 5, 10:31 27
- same with my crowd - excited..sad..and cheering at various points -- nm - Capstern May 5, 13:11
- Was another cheer for... (spoilers) - Inigo May 5, 10:48 1
  - Indeed. -- nm - David May 5, 10:54
- how would you grade it? - prayformojo May 5, 10:36 13
  - Oh, it is an A+. As with a Serenity, I am in awe of the script. - David May 5, 10:37 12
    - Now can we make sure Whedon is aroud to make JLA happen someday please ;) -- nm - Capstern May 5, 13:12
    - Thats was the one thing that I missed... - The Incredible Budice May 5, 10:39 1
      - Dude MAJOR spoil - Iron Spawn May 5, 11:47
    - In Joss we trust. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 5, 10:38 8
      - I was so impressed with how they blended all the charcters into it -- nm - eag May 5, 10:41 7
        
        I liked that as well. They allowed each character... - Mel Profit May 5, 10:56 6
        
        They really set up Black Widow and Hawkeye about as well as they could. -- nm - Inigo May 5, 11:00 5
        
        right...they managed to make those characters interesting enough that it's conceivable they could make their own movies. -- nm - Mel Profit May 5, 12:04 3
        
        You would have to do BW and HE together IMO. I think the inductry still has as very hard time making people want to see - Capstern May 5, 13:13 2
        
        Well, every time they make a female-driven movie, it's complete and utter shit. - Will Hunting May 5, 13:22 1
        
        I would agree. I think the fact that they have a bunch of dudes making those movies makes that a problem... - Capstern May 5, 13:26
        
        To my mind, Hawkeye is the greatest achievement in the film. (spoilers) - David May 5, 11:22
- The one that seems to get big reactions...spoils - The Incredible Budice May 5, 10:35 2
  - Yes, that and (spoils) - David May 5, 10:38 1

      - damn i would have paid to see that -- nm - remlik May 5, 11:07

    - The crowd also loved (spoilers) - Inigo May 5, 10:42
Our Weight Watchers meeting has been moved from the local strip-mall to a room at the Homewood Suites... - MojaveMeg May 5, 10:26 3
- I think they should have it at a Strip-Club -- nm - Bacon May 5, 10:27 2
  - that would certainly add to the motivation, when we asked about directions to ours, were told it was between this burger place and that pizza parlor -- nm - zeitgeist May 5, 11:37 1
    - Yeah, this hotel is between Outback and Red Robin :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg May 5, 11:41

  - Heh heh. Yeah, he is pretty much all daddy at this point. -- nm - kelly May 5, 10:03 3
    - he's adorable Kelly ... I see that pic and I have a hard time believing he was the same baby you talked about screaming on your recent trip :) -- nm - JenBro May 5, 10:19 2
