Yeah, but…his name isn't in the title. It's just called The Avengers, although some markets had Marvel attached to it. I don't even think his name was that big a part of the promotion of the movie. When are directors' names ever part of the title?

Cat seemed cool. She could probably appreciate the demands of a good hijink.

I too remember following the doomed journey of Cat Tale (and Food Fight for that matter). What an odd thing.

Anna Faris is the luckiest woman alive, and not just because she avoided Scary Movie 5.

I never truly realized my potential for shallow fanboying until this movie came on my radar. This is one of my most anticipated movies of 2014 and I've never actually heard of any of the characters. I am excited about this movie almost entirely because Chris Pratt will be shirtless on the big screen in 3D, and

Another good one is in Buffy's The Body. The scene that picks up after the previous week's cliffhanger, where Buffy goes over to mother's body, throws up in the living room, calls for help and speaks to the 911 operator is, if I recall correctly, all one beautiful emotionally exhausting shot. I remember listening to

Alex Pettyfer is English? Good lord.

Season 3 is ridiculously uneven, but man those highs are high. The Caprica occupation arc and the finale are easily among the very best stuff BSG ever put out.

But then there are also those rare shows that only get great after the first 2 or 3 seasons and sometimes those are even more worth checking out.

Well that's silly. A lot of people hate the fifth book but really enjoy the final two.

I don't think anyone will be as fatigued watching Season 7 as Sarah Michelle Gellar seemed to be while making it. Her lack of energy in the middle section of that season is what tires me out more than anything.

The Vampire Diaries. I actually started watching it after seeing people raving about it around Season 3, but it became a chore about halfway through Season 2 or maybe a little earlier. Part of that was personal bias - I hate werewolf stories, I rarely if ever find them interesting, and suddenly they were central to

Yes! I've been planning on watching The Returned but I was holding out to see if Netflix would add it before looking for other means.

The trailer for Endless Love is by far among the most baffling I've ever seen. The music and editing is all sinister portent but then it's just about…some girl losing her virginity? And some vague talk of a secret past for the prettyboy who snatches her up? Like, what is this even about? Is it supposed to be

This was really all I needed to know to know I was going to see this.

I've seen the Winter's Tale trailer a couple times now and I can't make heads or tails of what it's about. The best general idea I can suss out is that it's kind of a Nicholas Sparks-ized version of The Fountain, but with more amnesia?

Casey Wilson and Ken Marino? I don't even need to know anything else about this. They could spend a half an hour a week planking in front of a brick wall and I'd still curse its inevitable cancellation.

It's a different kind of backlash, though (if it's backlash at all). I didn't see the first Man of Steel, and I never really planned on seeing this one, so when I say my interest is low I mean it. Not the same as the people saying "Ugh, fuck this casting! These people are idiots! This movie is going to be terrible!"

Great, I get to spend the next year listening to people bitch about casting as if the director/producers/everyone else just blindly tossed darts at actors they thought would be a laugh for their huge blockbuster and didn't base this decision on some kind of actual evidence that Eisenberg could pull off what they're

She doesn't eat the crusts? Well, there goes that.
