THAT. I'm getting more and more tired of the jaded bullshit that comes along with movie nerds. OR just jaded nerds in general.
Everything about Marvel's new phase is getting me pumped as fuck."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

However, that said, we do no one any favors by swallowing shit. This is our culture, and it should be treated respectfully like any other movie property. Like a coherent plot that doesn't fall apart while the film is being watched; decent actors saying well-crafted dialog; direction and shot composition that isn't below Kevin Smith's level; a story, not just spectacle; and boobs.
One of the reasons I like the Marvel films is that, so far, they do all those things. Feige is at least trying to put together well thought-out and entertaining movies that don't insult my intelligence. And Marvel is creating a massive universe to play in. They're not recycling the same villains and situations, over and over again (really DC, are there not any other villains in Superman comics, beyond Lex Luthor). Marvel wants to bring us new shit to see and I'm excited for that.
There really is nothing wrong with expecting a little quality control with your entertainment.
Now excuse me, there's an 11:15 XD/3D showing of GI Joe that I need to get to, and no, I"m not kidding.

What worries me about that one is they took so long to cast it, that kind of fucked up the chances of getting it shot. So, I'm expecting to see a mid credit bastardization.

Michael Rooker is now playing Yondu (Space Hawkeye). That means that Disney got their way and we're getting a name for Rocket Raccoon.My readers come to me for my thoughts and opinions. I've built myself into a brand
