How Dances with Wolves got best picture over Goodfellas still boggles my mind.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is really, really good.

What's better then a movie starring Tom Hardy? A movie starring Tom Hardy twice.

Yeah, I'll be seeing that.

i watched "they come together" last night, mainly since it was just 83 mins but i was pleasantly surprised. its a spoof of rom coms and at some points it really feels like one, but then it'll have like naked gun gags and stuff. i also enjoyed the cast and realized afterwards this had a lot of "the state" guys in it so i imagine that's why i liked it too. i gave it 3/5 on netflix, but would probably do like 3.5.

I watched "The Gambler" w/ Mark Whalberg over the weekend and enjoyed it. It wasn't great, but it was entertaining.

Anyone else see Avengers 2 this weekend?

[SHOW]

Other than botching the whole Ultron being created thing (since it was created by Hank Pym, not Tony Stark), I think they did a pretty good job. I had read previously that Paul Bettany was playing Vision, so I was curious how they would integrate him as Vision when he was also the voice of Jarvis through all of the movies. Now it makes more sense.

Sad they killed off Quicksilver so quickly, since in the comics he was around for quite a while.

Also getting more stoked about Thanos forging the Infinity Gauntlet, which is obviously leading up to Avengers 3: Infinity Wars (scheduled for a two-part movie in 2018/2019 I think?). From Thor talking about the Infinity Stones, it's possible it will come up also in Thor 3: Ragnarok next year. Don't think it will be tied at all to Captain America 3: Civil War unless it is another teaser in the end credits.

Also did not see Hulk/Black Widow as a couple. Especially since Hulk was always in love with Betty Ross - although I've only ever seen the MCU Hulk once, and I don't remember if they killed her off in the movie or not?

my brother saw it and said he enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as the 1st

Overall, I would agree I liked the first one better. This one certainly wasn't bad, though.

There were still tons of in-theater LOL moments.

I thought there was an Interstellar thread but christ I can't find it. My search skills are weak on a Monday. Anyway, finally saw Interstellar. Wish I'd had seen it in the theater because I think I would have liked it more. However I didn't particularly care for it. There wasn't much personality there I thought. The beginning was pretty slow, then there was Matt Damon, then it was just kinda meh.
