bearshortyToday was so nice and warm outside – it was pretty much summer. I just loved that. I can’t wait to break out all my summer tank tops and shorts and not wear socks.
Bear came over after work today so we could go see “The Avengers.” The movie theater was pretty full for an afternoon showing which was great for some scenes where everyone was clapping all together but we also had to contend with this woman who brought her little kids with her. And by little kids, I mean little. Three years old. To this kind of movie. Where the kid was pretty bored and talking and babbling and annoying the shit out of everyone. Finally, maybe half way through the movie, the guy sitting in a group next to us, one seat away from me and directly behind the kid, told the kid to be quiet in a non-yelling but firm voice (which is what all of us wanted to say). As the kid’s mother was, of course, immediately incensed that someone would address her kid to tell him how to behave. She was like, “He is three years old.” Like that is all the excuse we should all indulge. At this point, I could not hold it in so I said, “Three years olds should not be here for this movie.” She was all huffy but then a minute later, she actually took her kids and left to our giant relief. After the movie was over, the guy next to us thanked me for backing him up and I thanked him back for saying something in the first place.
Thoughts on “Avengers” It was a pretty fun movie. I didn’t realize that Joss Whedon had a hand in the script too but it was obvious from the dialogue. And I loved all the characters, especially Black Widow, Iron Man and the Hulk. This movie was probably the best interpretation of the Hulk I’ve seen. The part where he flings Loki around was what got the whole movie theater clapping. I absolutely adored Black Widow. She just kicked ass. I was afraid they go love interest route with her and it was so great when they didn’t. She was a full member of the team. And Loki continued to be a wonderful villain. I can watch him being smart and manipulative all day. The only thing in the plot that bugged was a very convenient nuclear warhead and I wished there was some interaction between the women characters. So overall, a fun movie. This is not the kind of movie I would watch over and over again but it was certainly a summery good time. And I loved the cameos like from Enver from Dollhouse. And apparently Alexis Denisoff was the bad guy in the mask. I knew that voice was familiar! We only saw one post-credit scene. Why did they have to have two?
After the movie we went to the Indian restaurant. They finished renovating and the new look is great – very slick and modern. But, of course, we come there for the delicious food and their amazing rice.
