I am a bit concerned about the number of characters that will be present in Avengers 2. It sounds like all the old people, the Guardians of the Galaxy (however many characters that is), the Wasp, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and probably someone else I'm forgetting. That's at least double the number of

Her mouth is really weird and bothers me… I can't deal with that expression she always has. I also see your point there, I really have no idea how old she actually is. She looks like could be anywhere between thirty and fifty. Also ever since I watched the pilot of Bates Motel I can't take her seriously as an actress…

I've actually thought Verbinski was a quality director since Mouse Hunt. That movie, The Ring, and Rango are all excellent films in their genres, as is the first Pirates of the Caribbean honestly. The only strikes against him for me are those terrible Pirates sequels… which are pretty big strikes (though admittedly

@avclub-1f93a5d50953fac07d7e6f54827ce9bc:disqus I thought Thor was a fun, lighthearted popcorn movie, and actually quite enjoyed Prometheus (though I have a huge blind spot for Alien movies). I must have worse taste than I realized…

Yeah I feel like people kinda want that one to have been underrated more than anything. ParaNorman is the real underrated recent children's movie.

Is Pacific Rim really a shameless live-action Evangelion rip off? That comparison would seriously never have occurred to me, though that's probably because I think more of psychological weirdness and trippy religious symbolism when I think of Evangelion than "robots punch giant monsters". I guess in a very surface way

Am I the only one that didn't like Summer Hours? It wasn't terrible or anything, but I found it so feather light that it barely left any impression at all, and the characters were pretty dull. It seemed more like French countryside porn than a masterpiece of film-making. I loved Irma Vep, Demonlover, and that segment

Tasha Robinson and Scott Tobias were pretty much the only writers to put those up anyway, but I definitely agree, a Spoiler Space for this would get a lot of page hits. Kind of ridiculous for Oblivion to get one and not this.

Can we just ban anyone from mentioning Patton Oswalt around here for a few years? I've got nothing against him really, and he's put in some good performances, but it's really irritating how everyone around here idolizes him like he's the font of all wisdom.

Hey there, my boyfriend is a diehard Liverpool fan. So by those standards I'll find The Mandarin attractive?

Ugh, please no. Branagh is so overrated… he made like one successful Shakespeare film (Henry V) and then everybody fell all over themselves praising him. His Hamlet was such a dull, self indulgent waste of time. I can only imagine what kind of scenery chewing and crazy Dutch angles he would bring to a film version of

Ugh, I hate that commercial now because I had to sit through like a ten minute thing about Roman Coppola filming it in a movie theater the other day. I really have to draw the line at showing commercials for other commercials.

I keep hoping they'll do this. Have they announced who the new Jameson is yet? I heard rumors they'll keep him but they could just be wishful thinking.

It's weird how EVERYONE forgets that Sixth Sense was actually Shyamalan's third movie. It's a shame that Praying With Anger is so hard to find, I've heard it's actually pretty good.

Oh man, I can't wait to see everyone complain about the timeline after these movies come out. I'm still scratching my head a bit about the chronology of Phase 1: particularly when exactly the ending of The Incredible Hulk was supposed to take place. During The Avengers? But it makes no sense that Tony Stark would be

Well he does have a private jet and super fast flying suit so I guess it might be slightly easier for him than the average person. Maybe he just stocks up whenever he has to go to China on business.

I'm still really disappointed that we didn't get the other films, yet he managed to get Lady in the Water, The Happening, and The Last Airbender produced. Perhaps this is the darkest timeline…

I like Unbreakable, but how on earth did that cost 75 million dollars (and that's back in 2000)? That is just a flagrant waste of money on a movie that could easily have been done on an indie budget. I guess Willis and Jackson had bigger salaries back then but still.

That movie made me swear off Shyamalan films forever. I thought The Village was bad but clearly I was not aware of how completely inept he had become both as a storyteller and a director. That movie felt like he took a fairly uninspired, mostly improvised story he told his kids (this is actually what the movie is
