Tony and Peter can try and figure out who is the biggest smart ass, and Rocket and Bruce can be over in the corner building things that blow shit up more effectively.

Do you know who wants to write a Black Widow movie?

One thing I want that summed it up for me (Minorest of minorest spoilers) is their attitude towards names. Man of Steel had many, many, many flaws, but for me the thing that showed it was in trouble was that in none of the publicity material was the word "Superman" ever mentioned, and in the movie the name was only…

"Sooo....anyone else predicting a Loki, Nebula, Red Skull team-up in the future?"

Can we talk about Gamora? Specifically about how our fears of gratuitous nudity/sexiness based on the trailers ended up being unnecessary? And how she brilliantly subverted not only the Hero Gets the Girl trope, but also the Marvel Female Spy/Assassin trope where women are all emotionally tough, badass fighters, and…

What a joyous time at the movies.

Just to recap here... The biggest, most anticipated, and (from early reviews) best movie of the summer is a space opera/comedy/action starring the third lead from an NBC sitcom, the fourth lead from Star Trek, a semi-retired WWE superstar, a homicidal raccoon, & a walking/talking tree...

One recurring gag that I loved was the recurring use (and misuse) of Earth idioms we take for granted. Intercultural misunderstandings are my bread and butter when it comes sci-fi and fantasy.

"Why would I run my finger across his throat?"

"Who put the sticks up their asses? That sounds painful..."

(I'm paraphrasing, so…

Alrwady saw it twice and I have to say this film is so much better the second time. The first time I was a bit taken aback by the very rushed opening, especially with Gamora and by the fact that Drax just can't act but the second time around, I was ready and it turns out that the rushed opening is really short and…

It's like seeing a control freak out of control. She has a boyfriend and she's a schoolteacher and then she travels around the universe with The Doctor. She's trying to live those lives separately and not let them collide.

Old Joe Biden, I still probably would. If Jill said it was OK.

"In today's Tweet Beat, we learn that Joe Biden was a hottie back in the day"

Okay, I agree that Examsoft was clearly a debacle, but the people who claim that handwriting the exam is superior are kidding themselves. Did you write this article out by hand first? No, you typed it because typing is faster and easier. Why would it be any different on a law exam?

I'm getting a Harriet Potter vibe from this one.

Dear National Review,

Right? I think of "horror" when I think of Kurtzman-Orci, but probably not in the way Universal wants me to.

"Who's going to be Abbott and Costello?"

"...(b) the unlovely tendency to presume themselves to be smarter than everybody else in the world."

Oh, dear. Alex Kurtzman. As if the duo Kurtzman-Orci wasn't bad enough, now they're going to ruin movies in pairs, instead of going one by one.
