Austin to me is the undisputed king of wrestling podcasts. I'll take him and his wife bullshitting about Hershey the Wonder Dog and rapping to Nash about which toilet paper is more manly over Jericho, Piper or Flair anyday.
Jericho doesn't miss a beat, but, while I should have been pissed about an episode with Nash and Austin debating which Uberfacts are bullshit, it was entertaining as hell.
Macklin's going through Cap 1. I've always been a big fan of that movie, probably only trails Iron Man 1 in terms of a solo-character driven MCU movie.
When I get sick of wrestling I'm gonna run through the MCU movies starting with Iron-Man. I saw that in theaters when it came out but didn't pay a lick of attention.
Rangers/Blues prediction isn't gonna happen, Rangers/Blackhawks may not happen either, if NYR isn't careful. I wanna see Calgary/Washington now, just for something completely different.
The montages were a throwback to the old 30s serials, though. It also showed that Cap had been fighting in this war for longer than a few battles. The montages were to showcase that he became this amazing super soldier and fought these amazing battles all through Europe.
Iron Man: *** The Incredible Hulk: *** Iron Man 2: ** Thor: ** Captain America: **3/4 The Avengers: ***1/2 Iron Man 3: *** Thor: The Dark World: **1/2 Captain America - Winter Soldier: ***1/4 Guardians of the Galaxy: *** Avengers - Age of Ultron: ***
Nowhere did the movie showcase or hint that Drax was strong. A tough fighter, yeah, but Ronan took him down like a jobber. Gamora wasn't enhanced, she was just a master assassin. Nebula was the same, just enhanced with bionics.
Speaking of Marvel films, did they edit out a line in the home release of Guardians of the Galaxy? In the scene when Groot sprouted those light up buds and when asked how did he do it, I clearly remember Peter saying "I think I know the answer, he grew...." when watching that film in theaters. Yet when I saw it again on DVD months later, it sounded like they dubbed the line over to make Peter say "I think I know the answer, I am Groot..."
Gotcha. There are still a couple MCU films I haven't seen. I guess I'll just wait for all 6 phases to conclude, and spend like $600 on a massive boxset.
That's the other shitty part of that movie, a villain that can destroy worlds yet only uses his "throw them back a few feet" power because....no reason really
*shrug* If there's one flaw in the Marvel movies, it's the villains. A lot of them have been pretty ho-hum. Roman just joins that list. Really, it wasn't his movie, anyway.
They explained that. It's because of Quill's father being non-human, so Quill is not 100% human, himself. Yeah, the power of friendship was silly, but the movie was a team movie, so it was a team effort.
That and Star Lord isn't 100% human, so there's something not yet revealed that allowed him to hold it without being blown apart. We have to wait till Maury tells us who is his father
What I like about him though is that the film credibly builds his friendship with Tony and Pepper so they don't look like idiots when it turns out he's evil
Welp, I'm gonna go continue watching Marvel movies myself. Doing it a bit slower than Sir Burt because I've been busy with other stuff. I'm about halfway through Iron Man 3, which is still pretty good in my mind.
If I have to rate from highest to lowest, here is my list. 1. Winter Soldier 2. The Avengers 3. GotG 4. Iron Man 5. Captain America 6. Age of Ultron 7. Iron Man 2 8. Thor 9. Iron Man 3 10. Dark World 11. Incredible Hulk.
That's more the thing. The build up with him was fine, even if he was still more or less Generic Evil Corporate Guy. But once in the suit, it all kind of went down the flusher.
Yeah, it's always a bit jarring when I read movie reviews using the **** scale. I'm so used to the ***** scale, I usually have to stop and realize they use a different scale for movies.
I think it was Hulk for me. At the end of Incredible Hulk, he seems to have the beast under control and defeats The Abomination. He runs from the scene and runs overseas. Fine. Then he comes back and he can't be Hulk because he'll tear things apart and kill everyone...BUT...he has it under control AGAIN and people can tell him what to do.
And this continues into Ultron where he has things under control -- but he's afraid to turn because he'll "hurt people" -- even when he KNOWS that Witch doesn't have him under control.
Pick a damn lane. Just have Banner control the beast. In the comics, Hulk can talk in complete sentences.
The first half of Iron Man 3 was on its way to best solo Marvel movie IMO. Mandarin gets under Tony's skin, blows up his house and casts him out. The turn is controversial. Personally it has grown on me. My issue with the second half of the movie is that Guy Pearce's character SUCKED and was uber un-interesting while Mandarin was more interesting--even after the turn.
And Pepper winning the fight sucked.
They just needed a better secondary villain if they were going to do the Mandarin reveal or have the Mandarin thing be a double bluff. Because I say again, Pearce's character was lame as hell.
See, that doesn't bother me. Norton even said in the movie that Hulk can't really be controlled. Aimed, at best, but that's it. Hulk is still a rampaging, uncontrollable monster for the most part, so he's still dangerous.
Plus, the first time he hulks out in Avengers, it was also resulting from Loki and the sceptre nudging his mind.
Some people are just Damsels in distress. Pepper ain't a fighter. She has been given enough in the 3 Iron Man movies that she doesn't feel like she's useless or weak. She just shouldn't be involved in the climaxatory brawl that defeats the villain, IMO.
If I had to rank Woody Allen films, limited to top ten... it'd be: 1. Annie Hall 2. Hannah and Her Sisters 3. Manhattan 4. Crimes and Misdemeanors 5. Midnight in Paris 6. Match Point 7. Deconstructing Harry 8. Interiors 9. Purple Rose of Cairo 10. Radio Days
1) Winter Soldier 2) Guardians of the Galaxy 3) Avengers 4) Captain America 1 5) Age of Ultron 6) Thor 7) Iron Man 8) Iron Man 3 9) Dark World 10) Iron Man 2 11) Hulk
The top three could easily be interchangeable to fit in any of the first three spots.
Yep, never made it in the film. I thought he yelled back at her, "You complete me!" How do you think I felt when Ultron didn't directly say to the camera "There are no strings on me" like he did in the trailer.
1) Captain America: Winter Soldier 2) Avengers: Age of Ultron 3) Avengers 4) Iron Man 5) Guardians of the Galaxy 6) Captain America: The First Avenger 7) Thor 8) Iron Man 3 9) Iron Man 2 10) Thor: The Dark World 11) Incredible Hulk
Well, actually, wasn't it because the barge they were on blew up and Hulk and Widow ended up below deck? Banner was struggling on the floor and Widow tried to tell him not to be angry from being hurt.
He really wasn't "under control" of Loki's scepter. On top of that, he wanted to hurt Widow...but then, with NO explanation, he's able to stand side by side with the other heroes (even with Widow -- the person he wanted to hurt) and fight and listen to Captain America.
It just seemed so selective to me...but, eh. Still enjoyable.
I love the mythology of it. Before, you'd just get a couple of movies then a hard reboot with no conclusion to the previous story. Now we have plotting and arcs with endgames in mind; it's like following a TV show but on the big screen, with every episode having a $200m budget.
The first Woody Allen movie I ever saw was Curse of the Jade Scorpion. I've seen others since, like Manhattan and Annie Hall, but Curse holds a spot in my heart just because it was the first one.
Plus, it has my favourite line in any movie: "You know what they call someone who thinks everyone's out to get them, don't you?" "Of course I do. It's called perceptive!"
If they could have gotten him for a second movie they should have waited to reveal his villainy to Tony and save that for a second movie. Having Tony just go back to where he was kidnapped and defeat the main guy in Tony's prototype is a good climax. Then in his dying breath the guy tells Tony who hired him. DUH DUH DUH!
Btw, "the guy" is the main guy who kidnapped Tony and held him in the cave. Can't think of his name and don't wanna describe him as terrorist.
That was what turned him, of course, yeah, but his mind was already weakened from spending all that time with the sceptre. He nearly lost it until they managed to point out he was holding it. Then it all went to hell when Barton blew up the ship.
But yeah, he hulked up because of the explosion and landing below deck, but Loki had already weakened his mind. They never outright say it, but it's more in the visuals before the explosion.
Someone mentioned SW up for Best Picture; I always forget Alec Guinness was up for Best Supporting Actor as Obi Wan as well, mainly because I only think of his resentment of the films.
First
ReplyDeletePull your shit together, Bulls.
ReplyDeleteHey look, a Billy Gunn tag team break up that leads to an ill-fated singles push!
ReplyDeleteDamn Agent Carter.
ReplyDeleteWe do not say "first" we say "boners"

Repost from Daily Thread:
ReplyDeleteAustin to me is the undisputed king of wrestling podcasts. I'll take him and his wife bullshitting about Hershey the Wonder Dog and rapping to Nash about which toilet paper is more manly over Jericho, Piper or Flair anyday.
Austin's deadpan wife is the best
ReplyDeleteShe's pretty funny in her "no fuck given" attitude.
ReplyDeleteI'm already liking these scenes with Steve at the army base. Jumps on the grenade without a second thought. "Grenade! Get away!"
ReplyDelete"He's still skinny"
Call me a cynic, but I am more inclined to believe the "Vince is losing his vision" rumor given the WWE's "defamation of character" reaction to it.
ReplyDeleteJerichos equally good in my opinion, and actually on skill he's really the better broadcaster...
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, listening to the World's Toughest Son of a Bitch getting needled by his wife about conditioning his beard is fantastic and hilarious
I said he was sick six months ago.
ReplyDeleteI am never wrong about these things.
whachatalkinbout justice?
ReplyDeleteCanceled?
ReplyDeleteJericho doesn't miss a beat, but, while I should have been pissed about an episode with Nash and Austin debating which Uberfacts are bullshit, it was entertaining as hell.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you telling Jesus that?
ReplyDeleteShe's just really attractive in Cap The First Avenger lol.
ReplyDeleteTo me that was far and away his worst show, I'd have rather heard his wife or Cort for an hour if Nash had literally nothing to say
ReplyDeleteThe show was neat to watch but it's really just needless filler.
ReplyDeleteI like that scene, along with how he got the flag.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't seen this film before? I loved it. As we discussed before, Chris Evans owns this role.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. Just two buddies riffing back and forth for an hour. Not his best show by far, but I wasn't bored by it.
ReplyDeleteI just got home and Cavs up 20 after 1. Hockey it is!
ReplyDeleteI have, it's just been a long time. I'm going through all the MCU movies.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna watch O's and Mets, buy figured the Bulls game would be more entertaining.
ReplyDeleteBulls/Cavs feels like it should be in the Conf. Finals. Washington or Atl is going to be a let down in the next round.
ReplyDeleteMacklin's going through Cap 1. I've always been a big fan of that movie, probably only trails Iron Man 1 in terms of a solo-character driven MCU movie.
ReplyDeleteSwitching to Rangers/Caps until movie time.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get sick of wrestling I'm gonna run through the MCU movies starting with Iron-Man. I saw that in theaters when it came out but didn't pay a lick of attention.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm flip flopping between BAL/NYM and Rangers/Caps, since the TB series is 2-0.
ReplyDeleteDamn you are a copy cat! Everybody rips off Macklin.
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome watching RDJ just own the role
ReplyDeleteStill has my vote as best MCU movie.
ReplyDeleteTB is gonna sweep. Calling it now.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone here I can steck the dack against?
ReplyDeleteIt gives you great backstory to Winter Soldier, not to mention just feels like watching a Raiders of the Lost Ark or Rocketeer type movie.
ReplyDeleteRangers/Blues prediction isn't gonna happen, Rangers/Blackhawks may not happen either, if NYR isn't careful. I wanna see Calgary/Washington now, just for something completely different.
ReplyDeleteYeah you could feel the Rocketeer thumbprints from Joe Johnston all over Cap, not to mention he was the head of FX on Raiders
ReplyDeleteJericho has stupid shit though, like "Egypt" and cow belling.
ReplyDeleteAnd pagayy instead of page. Dude tries too hard for my liking.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show Marvel could tap the right director to give the movie the right feel
ReplyDeleteWell, another friend of mine is pregnant with her second kid.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a sickness going around, and I'm the stereotypical "focusing on his career" guy.
Cap 1 was great for all those reasons. But, I'm a WWII dork, so there ya go.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Bradshaw randomly turns on Zeb!
ReplyDeleteWasn't heeding his stock advice?
ReplyDeleteSince Burt is watching Cap, these are relevant

Too bad Rey Mysterio left, I would've love to see him dress as Ultron for Wrestlemania
ReplyDeleteSame, most of my friends are married and/or have kids and I'm just loafing in the couch with my cat after work every night
ReplyDeleteDid he ever do Cap at Wrestlemania?
ReplyDeleteYeah, WM 27
ReplyDeleteAgainst Cody? I was gonna say he did Avatar but, that was 26 against Punk wasn't it?
ReplyDeleteDon't know what part of Community or Arrested Development made them think "get us those guys for Cap 2" but I'm glad they did
ReplyDeleteYeah. I think he also did The Flash for WM 20
ReplyDeleteYeah because I remember he had to climb out of his hole when his entrance spring malfunctioned
ReplyDeleteDaredevil at 19
ReplyDeleteWhich is exactly the same level of dumb as "National Treasure" and bow hunting talk
ReplyDeleteI get everyone's dick is hard to hate Jericho because...whatever...but I still dig the giy
"Heeeey Bucky"
ReplyDeleteYes. Best/Worst was Silver Surfer against Chavo at Summerslam, with a beer gut and the paint kept running.
ReplyDelete*whips off Winter Soldier mask*
ReplyDeleteI'm Gene Parmesan!
I don't necessarily hate him but, I'll take Austin over him most days. Jericho's interviews are usually good, the 2 part with Lance Storm was great.
ReplyDeleteBest one was The Phantom at Halloween Havoc against Eddie
ReplyDeleteDefinitely up there
ReplyDeleteHated Cap 1, somewhere in those montages is an interesting movie but I guess they didn't feel right showing us THAT
ReplyDeleteFor me it's the second bottom on the list right above Guardians
Yes, those are breasts.
ReplyDeleteRanked above Guardians? Guardians last? We're all entitled to our own opinions but, yeah.
ReplyDeleteSounds ideal. Cats are better than kids anyways. They are quiet and clean themselves.
ReplyDeleteThe montages were a throwback to the old 30s serials, though. It also showed that Cap had been fighting in this war for longer than a few battles. The montages were to showcase that he became this amazing super soldier and fought these amazing battles all through Europe.
ReplyDeleteGuardians was a crap movie with nostalgia piled on top to trick people into thinking it's good.
ReplyDeleteAt the end we don't even know what any of the characters powers are...amazing origin.
Also, the climax of te movie is....friendship.
What are you favorite MCU movies?
ReplyDeleteIf they threw their weight behind it though and did a winter soldier origin though???
ReplyDeleteAnd any of one those battles would've been more interesting than what we got
ReplyDeleteAside from the music, what nostalgia? These were all original characters - certainly original for movie audiences.
ReplyDeleteAnd what do you mean the character powers? Aside from Groot and Ronan, no one really had any powers.
1) A1
ReplyDelete2) IM1
3) Cap2
After that they're kind of mix and match, like...I can't make a distinction between stuff like IM2 and Thor...they're equally alright
But would they have moved the story forward? No. And that's the point. Besides, you didn't think the mission where he lost Bucky was interesting?
ReplyDeleteBatista is super strong...or maybe he's not...who knows really
ReplyDeleteSame with the woman, she may be enhanced, maybe not, the 2 hour origin movie didn't really care to explain lol
Don't get him started, Marv is the outlier on GOTG
ReplyDeleteIron Man: ***
ReplyDeleteThe Incredible Hulk: ***
Iron Man 2: **
Thor: **
Captain America: **3/4
The Avengers: ***1/2
Iron Man 3: ***
Thor: The Dark World: **1/2
Captain America - Winter Soldier: ***1/4
Guardians of the Galaxy: ***
Avengers - Age of Ultron: ***
Off to see Avengers. Take it easy, fuckers.
ReplyDeleteNowhere did the movie showcase or hint that Drax was strong. A tough fighter, yeah, but Ronan took him down like a jobber. Gamora wasn't enhanced, she was just a master assassin. Nebula was the same, just enhanced with bionics.
ReplyDeleteTake it sleazy!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/34wuji/i_believe_vince_mcmahon_is_going_blind/
ReplyDeleteI suppose, in retrospect, being a publicly owned company they would need to rush to discredit this though if untrue.
What stops Avengers going the full monty for you?
ReplyDeleteThat's later with the missus.
ReplyDeleteI dom't hate Jericho at all, but those two things are cringe inducing.
ReplyDeleteWhat was that based on back then? I don't even remember seeing him in the public eye at that point. Or was that why? Just curious
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Marvel films, did they edit out a line in the home release of Guardians of the Galaxy?
ReplyDeleteIn the scene when Groot sprouted those light up buds and when asked how did he do it, I clearly remember Peter saying "I think I know the answer, he grew...." when watching that film in theaters. Yet when I saw it again on DVD months later, it sounded like they dubbed the line over to make Peter say "I think I know the answer, I am Groot..."
Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHaving seen it twice in theatres, the line was always the latter.
ReplyDeleteGotcha. There are still a couple MCU films I haven't seen. I guess I'll just wait for all 6 phases to conclude, and spend like $600 on a massive boxset.
ReplyDeleteOut of a wrestling five-snowflake scale
ReplyDeleteIron Man- ****3/4
The Avengers- ****3/4
GOTG- ****1/2
Captain America: TWS- ****1/4
Avengers: AoU- ***3/4
Captain America- ***1/2
Iron Man 3- ***1/2
Iron Man 2- ***1/4
Thor: TDW- ***1/4
Thor- ***
Incredible Hulk- **3/4
That's the other shitty part of that movie, a villain that can destroy worlds yet only uses his "throw them back a few feet" power because....no reason really
ReplyDeleteReally? I thought it was the other, it was dirtier and funnier.
ReplyDeleteI'm going off the ***** scale too. For clarity lol.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Emma in any aspect really. Gotta think she will be cut whenever they make another round of those.
ReplyDelete*shrug* If there's one flaw in the Marvel movies, it's the villains. A lot of them have been pretty ho-hum. Roman just joins that list. Really, it wasn't his movie, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThere were awful tornadoes in Oklahoma earlier. Insurance estimates that there was tens of dollars worth of damage.
ReplyDeletePlus it helps differentiate some of the three star stuff for me.
ReplyDeleteNot at all, I don't care for te goofy villain, I don't care for the nazi crap, I don't care for an evil army with a two handed salute lol
ReplyDeleteIt's all bad, that flick
Marv's achy boners
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to avoid using half stars unless necessary.
ReplyDelete**=meh
***=good
****=great
*****=greatest
Dude, it's WW2 and Cap's origin. Of COURSE it's going to involve Nazi's.
ReplyDeleteGuess we'll have to agree to disagree because myself along with many others think it's one of the better Marvel movies. It's in the top 5 for me.
Enjoy, dickhead!
ReplyDeleteSo they have no powers at all then? But can suck up a stone with their friendship?
ReplyDeleteMovie made no sense
BUT SHE WAS HAWT
ReplyDeleteMega lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, Ronan is like the bottom of the barrel Marvel villain.
ReplyDeleteGo report on my size and girth.
ReplyDeleteThey explained that. It's because of Quill's father being non-human, so Quill is not 100% human, himself. Yeah, the power of friendship was silly, but the movie was a team movie, so it was a team effort.
ReplyDelete"I have my hand on pussy every night"
ReplyDeleteSee, it's all in how you present it
This.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that. Iron Monger wasn't very good, either. Well, the final fight wasn't, anyway.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, my friend
ReplyDeleteThat and Star Lord isn't 100% human, so there's something not yet revealed that allowed him to hold it without being blown apart. We have to wait till Maury tells us who is his father
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, shithead!
ReplyDeleteBut, Jeff Bridges man...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it, jabroni
ReplyDeleteTrue. The Dude did make it more enjoyable, at least. He was still written as Generic Evil Corporate Guy, either way.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, this batch of fresh baked cookies!
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about him though is that the film credibly builds his friendship with Tony and Pepper so they don't look like idiots when it turns out he's evil
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Anything looks pretty decent. Basically, a British version of Bruce Almighty starring Simon Pegg.
ReplyDeleteWelp, I'm gonna go continue watching Marvel movies myself. Doing it a bit slower than Sir Burt because I've been busy with other stuff. I'm about halfway through Iron Man 3, which is still pretty good in my mind.
ReplyDeleteShe will find a way to steal the fan's hearts.
ReplyDeleteYou mean it hit your house? Wait, that report would not cite damages but improvements.
ReplyDeleteMy bad.
Screw it, tonight I'm joining on the Marvel binge watch, since I'm getting a little weary of binge watching Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLoved it up until extremis pepper
ReplyDeleteI don't care for the way they did it, it's just so cartoony
ReplyDeleteGirth is a size.
ReplyDeleteJR's home alone is worth at least that much.
ReplyDeleteJeff Bridges was really lame as a villain I thought. It was rushed and his dialogue in the suit was pretty bad.
ReplyDeleteI didn't mind that. They'd been trying to slowly build Pepper up so she wasn't just a damsel in distress again.
ReplyDeleteSuperman?
ReplyDeleteIf I have to rate from highest to lowest, here is my list.
ReplyDelete1. Winter Soldier
2. The Avengers
3. GotG
4. Iron Man
5. Captain America
6. Age of Ultron
7. Iron Man 2
8. Thor
9. Iron Man 3
10. Dark World
11. Incredible Hulk.
Do people watch non-superhero movies anymore?
ReplyDeleteThis looks important! *yanks wires*
ReplyDeleteThat's more the thing. The build up with him was fine, even if he was still more or less Generic Evil Corporate Guy. But once in the suit, it all kind of went down the flusher.
ReplyDeleteYou'd know!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's always a bit jarring when I read movie reviews using the **** scale. I'm so used to the ***** scale, I usually have to stop and realize they use a different scale for movies.
ReplyDeleteYeah but after summer is over
ReplyDeleteI think it was Hulk for me. At the end of Incredible Hulk, he seems to have the beast under control and defeats The Abomination. He runs from the scene and runs overseas. Fine. Then he comes back and he can't be Hulk because he'll tear things apart and kill everyone...BUT...he has it under control AGAIN and people can tell him what to do.
ReplyDeleteAnd this continues into Ultron where he has things under control -- but he's afraid to turn because he'll "hurt people" -- even when he KNOWS that Witch doesn't have him under control.
Pick a damn lane. Just have Banner control the beast. In the comics, Hulk can talk in complete sentences.
...I'm not sure I understand the question.
ReplyDeleteTrailer disasters being a priority for you is not surprising.
ReplyDeleteIs Dark World the other Thor movie?
ReplyDeleteRewatched winter soldier over weekend... Still awesome... Still loved the elevator "before we begin, does anyone want to get out?"
ReplyDeleteThey just do nothing for me, even in summer. But I am looking forward to Jurassic World.
ReplyDeleteOr their wallets
ReplyDeleteSolid top 3.
ReplyDeleteEspecially if he had a case of his BBQ sauce in his room.
ReplyDeleteThe first half of Iron Man 3 was on its way to best solo Marvel movie IMO. Mandarin gets under Tony's skin, blows up his house and casts him out. The turn is controversial. Personally it has grown on me. My issue with the second half of the movie is that Guy Pearce's character SUCKED and was uber un-interesting while Mandarin was more interesting--even after the turn.
ReplyDeleteAnd Pepper winning the fight sucked.
They just needed a better secondary villain if they were going to do the Mandarin reveal or have the Mandarin thing be a double bluff. Because I say again, Pearce's character was lame as hell.
See, that doesn't bother me. Norton even said in the movie that Hulk can't really be controlled. Aimed, at best, but that's it. Hulk is still a rampaging, uncontrollable monster for the most part, so he's still dangerous.
ReplyDeletePlus, the first time he hulks out in Avengers, it was also resulting from Loki and the sceptre nudging his mind.
Oh yes....
ReplyDeleteEh, could have done that with her in the armor instead earlier... Plus, that was a perfect time to do a meaningful death
ReplyDeleteDidn't know there was a John Cena dead meme.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda bothersome too there's obviously SOMETHING going on with Banner but we never get to see it
ReplyDeleteQuestion about one of the Iron Man's:
ReplyDeleteForget which one, but the ads showed Tony jumping out of the plane saying "miss me!" to Pepper.
It never showed up in the movie itself.
I hate when they do that.
Also, fun fact: I never knew of her existence in the comics till the movies, even though I read it throughout the 90's.
Some people are just Damsels in distress. Pepper ain't a fighter. She has been given enough in the 3 Iron Man movies that she doesn't feel like she's useless or weak. She just shouldn't be involved in the climaxatory brawl that defeats the villain, IMO.
ReplyDeleteThen I have seen 7 of those pictures.
ReplyDeleteMichael Cole with the loaded question!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to rank Woody Allen films, limited to top ten... it'd be:
ReplyDelete1. Annie Hall
2. Hannah and Her Sisters
3. Manhattan
4. Crimes and Misdemeanors
5. Midnight in Paris
6. Match Point
7. Deconstructing Harry
8. Interiors
9. Purple Rose of Cairo
10. Radio Days
This is a wrestling site. ***** motherfucker!!
ReplyDeleteMy Avengers listing:
ReplyDelete1) Winter Soldier
2) Guardians of the Galaxy
3) Avengers
4) Captain America 1
5) Age of Ultron
6) Thor
7) Iron Man
8) Iron Man 3
9) Dark World
10) Iron Man 2
11) Hulk
The top three could easily be interchangeable to fit in any of the first three spots.
My favorite thing about Pepper is that they never explain the nickname. Her real name is Virginia.
ReplyDeleteYep, never made it in the film. I thought he yelled back at her, "You complete me!"
ReplyDeleteHow do you think I felt when Ultron didn't directly say to the camera "There are no strings on me" like he did in the trailer.
Holy shit what a dickhead!
ReplyDeleteI've seen nine of those... Was magic in the moonlight his?
ReplyDeleteNever seen a Woodie Allen movie, I think because y the time I was of the right age he was already famous for molesting
ReplyDeleteI thought how Ultron did it in the movie was MUCH creepier.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is stealing my thunder with these MCU rankings! I can't even give my whole list until I'm done with the rewatch.
ReplyDeleteCurrently:
1. Iron Man ****
2. Thor ****
3. Iron Man 2 ***
4. Hulk **

2) Second
3) Third
4) Fjord
5) Fifth of jack

9) Also ninth
10) Batman symbol
11) What these go up to
F'ing phone...nine should have been none
ReplyDeleteI've not seen nor even heard of any of those lol.
ReplyDeleteThese lists are stupid. Everybody know Highlander won the Academy Award for Best Movie Ever Made.
ReplyDeleteAllegedly.
ReplyDeleteAnnie Hall is the one that beat out Star Wars for the Best Picture Oscar. It's quite good.
ReplyDelete1) Captain America: Winter Soldier
ReplyDelete2) Avengers: Age of Ultron
3) Avengers
4) Iron Man
5) Guardians of the Galaxy
6) Captain America: The First Avenger
7) Thor
8) Iron Man 3
9) Iron Man 2
10) Thor: The Dark World
11) Incredible Hulk
I didn't hate any of them.
We needed that creepy version of "I Got No Stings" somewhere, I know you hear the regular version for like a second but we needed the better version.
ReplyDeleteWell, actually, wasn't it because the barge they were on blew up and Hulk and Widow ended up below deck? Banner was struggling on the floor and Widow tried to tell him not to be angry from being hurt.
ReplyDeleteHe really wasn't "under control" of Loki's scepter. On top of that, he wanted to hurt Widow...but then, with NO explanation, he's able to stand side by side with the other heroes (even with Widow -- the person he wanted to hurt) and fight and listen to Captain America.
It just seemed so selective to me...but, eh. Still enjoyable.
I love the mythology of it. Before, you'd just get a couple of movies then a hard reboot with no conclusion to the previous story. Now we have plotting and arcs with endgames in mind; it's like following a TV show but on the big screen, with every episode having a $200m budget.
ReplyDeleteMagic in the Moonlight was one of his, but unfortunately, not one of his better ones.
ReplyDeleteThe first Woody Allen movie I ever saw was Curse of the Jade Scorpion. I've seen others since, like Manhattan and Annie Hall, but Curse holds a spot in my heart just because it was the first one.
ReplyDeletePlus, it has my favourite line in any movie:
"You know what they call someone who thinks everyone's out to get them, don't you?"
"Of course I do. It's called perceptive!"
Owens' Montreal accent adds to his dickishness.
ReplyDeleteThat's what she said
ReplyDeleteI saw ze Highlander movie! It was shit!
ReplyDeleteAs you can see by my lists, I like movies that change the game a lot.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I wouldn't be surprised if marvel cracked some subliminal shit...every rewatch, I like each one better than the last time
ReplyDeleteI have seen 7 MCU pictures. I don't particularly remember any of them but I have a generally good impression in my mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even like...against molesting and raping a girl invited into your home under the auspices of caring for her...
ReplyDeleteIt just kinda kept me from ever checking out the movies.
If they could have gotten him for a second movie they should have waited to reveal his villainy to Tony and save that for a second movie. Having Tony just go back to where he was kidnapped and defeat the main guy in Tony's prototype is a good climax. Then in his dying breath the guy tells Tony who hired him. DUH DUH DUH!
ReplyDeleteBtw, "the guy" is the main guy who kidnapped Tony and held him in the cave. Can't think of his name and don't wanna describe him as terrorist.
God that was bad.
ReplyDeleteThat was what turned him, of course, yeah, but his mind was already weakened from spending all that time with the sceptre. He nearly lost it until they managed to point out he was holding it. Then it all went to hell when Barton blew up the ship.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, he hulked up because of the explosion and landing below deck, but Loki had already weakened his mind. They never outright say it, but it's more in the visuals before the explosion.
I am using an iPad. How novel.
ReplyDeleteHuh, that one I actually liked, but I'm a sucker for Emma
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned SW up for Best Picture; I always forget Alec Guinness was up for Best Supporting Actor as Obi Wan as well, mainly because I only think of his resentment of the films.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a novel. How iPad
ReplyDeleteI like how Ewan McGregor even said he hated doing those movies.
ReplyDeleteObi-Wan, the role everyone hates.
I love the slow build of the elevator getting more goons on each stop
ReplyDeleteI feel so hip.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that movie was up for best picture, I'd always figured the 70's had good films and that schlock would've never gotten nominated.
ReplyDeleteWhat went wrong in 1977?
Well, when you've directed something like 50 films, including a few masterpieces, it's hard to crack the top.
ReplyDeleteThe elevator and the cargo ship, THAT is what a fucking super soldier is all about right thur
ReplyDeleteI feel so shoulder
