I don’t understand those words in relation to Mark Ruffalo.

This is something I say to people a lot. I like Joss Whedon and I think he has good, pro-feminist intentions but that doesn’t make him the patron saint of feminism and sometimes he fucks up in the same way that everyone fucks up and we can talk about it without it meaning that we hate him and think he is actually

just

The liberals as snakes-eating-their-own-tails thing is spot-on, though. We see it all the time here on Jez’s comments sections. One person’s attempts at feminist thought don’t live up to some other person’s, so they get in a meaningless spat that leads to the “do you even want me on your side?” before the person

I just flashed to the motorcycle chase sequence in Age of Ultron. Natasha did so much in that sequence (drop from a Quinjet, race through traffic, scoop up Cap’s shield, toss it to him, and do all that stuff to get to Ultron’s truck), and I, as an audience member, did not question her ability to accomplish any of that

Yup.

I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I love your interpretation. I’ve really come to appreciate the BW character in ways I didn’t think I would when she first came on the scene. And while part of me wishes the backstory they went into in AoU was the backstory they alluded to in the first Avengers movie, I’m OK with

Black Widow isn’t portrayed particularly progressively or interestingly in the film.

I somewhat disagree. He definitely sounds annoyed because he is annoyed (so that explains the dick part). But I do understand why he is annoyed. He has declared himself a feminist, some of his work is highly regarded as feminist text, he’s on our side, but he feels attacked by his own team, you know. I get that. I

I liked Age of Ultron? Especially how non-sexualized Black Widow was portrayed. It showed more of her AWFUL upbringing. She had a heart beyond being a bad ass fighter.

At first I was soooo annoyed that it was Black Widow who was tasked with the Hulk's lullaby. (I really hate the whole story line of Hulk being calmed by a women!) THEN, I thought...hmmmm...Natasha is MORE of a bad ass BECAUSE she is the only one with the guts to walk up to a raging, indestructible monster to calm him

They usually have video clips up within 24 hours. You can frequently see better from those than you did in the theater. ;)

Yep. We live in the Cities so we go from time to time. It’s always fun. My late mother used to say “It’s just...gentle. It’s not in your face, it’s lots of talented people, and it’s a nice quiet kind of laugh.”

Back in February? That was my first exposure to her AND APHC. I was forever changed, I swear.

Eh-vett. Letterman got it right. Don’t beat yourself up too hard, interviewers frequently fuck it up even now that they’re pretty damn famous.

I was wondering about that too. he must have back muscles of steel.

What is that cellist doing? Is he HOLDING IT UP WHILE PLAYING? It doesn’t look like that crazy long end pin is touching the ground. What is happening?

The Avett brothers can keep on the sunny side...of my pants.

You guys! Is it pronounced “Eh-vett Brothers”, like Letterman said it, or “Ah-vett Brothers” like I’ve been saying it in front of everyone I know all the time and oh god have I been saying it wrong like those several years I said Ralph Fiennes’ name like his name was just Ralph, and not the fancy “Rafe” and NO ONE
