So you agree that there is something more important at stake here than people who live paycheck to paycheck and need their money.

Either side can end the shutdown of course. At the moment BOTH the White House AND the House of Representatives consider what it’s about to be more important than “people who live paycheck to paycheck and need their money.”

It’s stuff like this that makes me think he has a non-zero chance of re-election.

You put Iron Man 2 at the bottom. Good baseline. You have also ranked Age of Ultron decently high. I’ll go higher, but good effort.

There’s no reason for us to ever know these people are actually terrible!

Hmmm.  Since I’ve come to adore (through my children) The Polar Express, perhaps I need to check out Christmas Carol.

We have a basic rule at my house.  You start repeating this stuff and we stop watching it.  It’s worked remarkably well so far.

That was the first MCU my much younger kids saw in the theater. “Shit!” is literally the first word that any of the heroes say. That Cap followed it up with such a great running gag made it allll better.
