So great. And shortly after we get “puny God.”

My son was six when this came out and had seen some of the other movies at home, but got a little freaked out by some of the scarier scenes, so I didn’t take him to this one either. I saw it, drove home, told him and my wife to get dressed, and drove right back to the theater with them. I watched him instead of the…

Start small: make churches pay taxes.

Oh, I get all teary for it every time. I love the embarrassed-yet-pleased look Cap gives as he’s watching it.

The fascist evangelical christian movement, which developed the Wealth Doctrine (or prosperity theology), is a driving force of the erosion of representative democracy in this nation. These grifters are parasites, and they deserve to have their extravagant temples of avarice torn down and turned into housing complexes…

God I hate these people.

Yep, I came here to post about this scene, too. Besides the “I don’t like bullies” scene—which was also classic Cap and followed through beautifully through his MCU character arc—when Steve jumped on the grenade while the other men ran was when I knew this film absolutely got what people like about Captain America.…

I have a few friends who are Disney Imagineers, and they said that one day, Alan Menken was in the office and played that song. I would’ve shit myself.

I always liked this exchange from Civil War after Cap stalemates Peter by dropping the onboarding ramp onto him.

It’s a good moment, but I disagree that it’s the defining one. The one that clearly shows who Cap is and why he does what he does is when he’s still a shrimp and talking to Erskine who asks “So you want to kill Nazis, eh?” Steve responds “No sir, I don’t want to kill anyone. I just don’t like bullies.” That line…

I unabashedly love this movie, and it’s been one of my top 3 MCU films ever since it came out. Chris Evans means as much to me now as Cap as Christopher Reeve meant to me as Superman when I was a kid, and believe me, for me, that’s big. That’s very, very big. I’d tell Chris as much if I ever got to meet him.

As good as this moment is, because of the recurring line, I would actually go with Steve throwing himself on the grenade. This scene shows his tenacity and willingness to fight the good fight - the grenade scene shows just how truly selfless he is. Plus you get the reactions from everyone around, including Tucci and…

I love the first four episodes of The Defenders. The fight in the high rise when they all come together and their conversation afterwards in the Chinese restaurant felt like really great launch point for a cool team-up series.

The “I’d agree with that black person if he was just more quiet and used proper grammar” gambit is not new.

There’s only room for one pile of mashed potatoes calling other men soft, and we already have Piers Morgan. Stay in your lane, Tucker.

Counterpoint - no it doesn't.

keanu reeves is in reality the person that johnny depp thinks he is.

I used to live a few blocks north of Keanu’s Manhattan apartment and hence, weirdly, would bump into him... a lot. To the point at some point we knew each other visually enough to sort of nod, acknowledging the other person on 8th Ave or when he’d be just sitting, by himself, semi-low key as to not be recognized in…

A couple of old friends and I met him in 1999 when Dogstar played The Blue Note in Columbia, MO. This was also not long after The Matrix was released. We were three college girls trying to play it cool because we got to go backstage. First off —

Keanu: “Hi, I’m Keanu. What’s your name? Did you guys enjoy the show?”

I…

I honestly fantasize about getting seated next to him on a long plane flight because he seems like the kind of human being who would offer to share his gummy worms and goldfish crackers with you, flag down the flight attendant for more ice or water if you need it, and time his trips to the restroom with yours just to…
