If you go by the passing line in Avengers, Black Widow was recruited as a small child into the KGB and then presumably picked up by Fury or another S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent (Coulson?) when the organization fell apart.

San Fran itself is starting to become a trendy location for action films. Both recent Apes movies, Star Trek Into Darkness, Godzilla, and the upcoming Big Hero 6 are all primarily set there.

How'd he pass the FBI entrance physical?

Fast Passes are gone. Welcome to FastPass+ and Magic Bands.

They may get to have him join the team sooner than later if Sony is actually tiring of their favorite play thing.

Change that to Andy and Champion the Three Legged Dog need to change the triplets' diapers and you have a thoroughly enjoyable B plot.

Is Portlandia a variety show though? Seems like it would fit better in the standard comedy category.

She's up against Julia Roberts, Kathy Bates, Francis Conroy, Ellen Burstyn, and Angela Bassett so even the supporting category is filled with movie stars.

Don't they generally submit only select episodes or clips? I remember the pilot and the post-Winter Soldier episodes stepping things up visually.

Thanks for the heads up - I just pulled up the full list.

That's kinda bizarre since he and Carrie are generally in at least 75% of the scenes of each episode.

How exactly is Fred Armisen a supporting actor on Portlandia?

American Idol winners have been more misses than hits as well. Only Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood have become true stars with longevity, with many runners-up (Jennifer Hudson especially) actually being more successful / famous than the winners.

I ranked that as my worst movie of 2013.

It was a weird time in his career. His film hits were behind him and 24 was still three years away. I supposed the studio / producers just wanted to get some cheap name value since Rufus Sewell wasn't a marque name and Jennifer Connelly and William Hurt were mostly supporting actors around that time.

Hawkeye is weeping somewhere.

Is it bad that I'm only familiar with Damian Abraham from his semi-regular appearances on Live Audio Wrestling podcasts? He comes off as super nice and likable for a guy who fronts a band named Fucked Up.

I was hoping for some civilian rescues / interactions. I guess those will remain exclusive to the Lego Batman franchise.

Say what you will about the quality, but Bitch Hunter and MILF Island have really shored up the Monday numbers.

I gave up on AICN after realizing there were far better movie sites out there around 2001. I'm always surprised that Knowles has somehow maintained a fanbase.
