Nothing did, really. The biggest difference was that the characters stood out from their backgrounds, so it was like watching Captain America: The Pop-Up Book. Definitely not worth the extra two-five dollars ticket charge :\\

But he commits to that accent, and pulls it off quite well, and it's really something... But yeah, I don't know if we'll be getting "The Machine" or not, but I'll keep an eye out for it, definitely :) It's supposed to get a limited release here tomorrow, but we're generally not included in on those... Sometimes Yes, Sometimes No... Like, we never did get "The Wind Rises" :\\ I'm going to complain about that forever. But, there should be a DVD release to count on, at least... You aren't looking forward to the new Godzilla? :( It's going to be awesome! So Awesome. Seriously. So Awesome. I don't know about "Edge of Tomorrow" though, personally... Might be good, but when was the last time Tom Cruise made a sci-fi movie that wasn't a clunker...? Oh, oh! I totally forgot to mention! Seeing the new Captain America in 3-D... It was yet another movie that played just as well in 2-D, so it was more misuse of the technology... More money making schemes :\\ The explosions didn't look better...

Which is how he was brought back to life? But yeah, I told him Coulson wasn't going to be in the movie, and then he insisted that he saw him anyway. He was not in that movie :\\ I have yet to watch this weeks episode too... I should get to that soon... I was catching up on Fargo yesterday though... The television show? Which is actually quite good, but I haven't managed to convince anyone of this yet, so they'll actually watch it with me :( I don't think you would like it, though, because Colin Hanks is in it, and he looks enough like his Dad to probably make it so you would have little tolerance for it :D Considering you don't watch things with Tom Hanks in it, based on his appearance. Or is it appearance and personality...? I think it's worth watching just to hear Martin Freeman talk with a Minnesota accent, which is endlessly entertaining... I don't buy him for a second as an American, just because I'm so used to seeing him in his natural element...

But I did this second time. The Power of Suggestion. I told Tj, though, that if they come out with a Halloween costume for him this October, and they probably will... Tj will be all set, because he already has the hair and stuff. He would just have to straighten it, I think. Which he already wants to do anyway, so that wouldn't be a big deal or anything. But yeah, my Dad says this new Captain America is the best movie Marvel has ever done :0 I don't know about all that... It was _good_, but that good...? And he thinks Clark Gregg's shooting schedule for Agents of Shield is why he couldn't appear in the new Captain America, lol. No, I think it's more that they wouldn't be able to explain how he came back from the dead, and can't just assume everyone has been watching Shield, because goodness knows they haven't. But wouldn't that be funny, if they _did_ put him in another Marvel movie, and casually explained in thirty second what it took them fifteen episodes to get to in the show?

Why _that_ was necessary, I don't know, because isn't that kind of a given, that he's going to be in the next Avengers...? And everyone already knows there's an Avengers sequel on the way :\\ ...Or maybe they don't, actually. Because I assumed that everyone went in to the new Captain America already knowing that Bucky was the Winter Solider, because, like I think I was saying before, when there were people in the theater the first time I saw it that were shocked by that plot development... They didn't make a secret of it when they were promoting that movie. But there was my Dad, going "It's Bucky!" when the mask thing came off and you got a better look at his face. So, I guess it's only us select nerds that read all promotional material for this stuff, so we know plot points in advance and whatever. And now that you put the idea that Tj looks like the Winter Solider, I couldn't unsee it, so that's all I was thinking about in all of his scenes :D I didn't see the resemblance at first!

But, you were right... I definitely wasn't missing much. And I don't understand how that scene was giving fanboys the encouragement that Bucky is eventually going to take over for Captain America... I mean, all he was doing was looking at the plaque with his picture and information on it. If anything, that signifies to me that the next movie he's going to be in is going to involve some kind of weepy redemption arc, where he reclaims his identity! And becomes a good guy! And trades in his red star tattoo for an American Flag! ...I've been calling that his Heineken arm, actually. Tj said it's probably supposed to symbolize Soviet stuffs, but then I saw a television commercial for Heineken, and their logo is a red star... So yeah, that arm is Beer Powered. It is. But yeah, and then I discovered that right after that bonus scene, they have a bit of text that goes "You can next see Captain America in Avengers 2: Age of Ultron".

Well, I got to go see Captain America again, so I made sure to sit through alllllll the credits to be able to see that second bonus scene that I'd missed out on, and then you told me about... Felt like a little bit of a dummy, too, because the majority of the audience stuck around for the first bonus scene, and then a couple of them started sitting through the extended end credits, probably thinking they were also going to wait it out for that second bonus scene too, but then they gave up on that after, like, two minutes, so it was just me, my Dad and my brother hanging around to watch it T_T Luckily, the clean up crew didn't come filing in to the theater, patiently having to wait off to the side until we left the theater, which has happened before... Maybe they also know the deal with Marvel movies, and that there will be stragglers, so they don't even bother trying to enter the theater until ten minutes after the movie was supposed to have ended or something.

Answers to two questions you asked: Yes, I have Heavenly Music, but thank you for thinking to ask if I did :) And no, I hadn't heard anything more about Almost Human's fate until your question prompted me to do research, and I [url=http://www.enstarz.com/articles/36614/20140418/almost-human-season-2-renewed-fox-set-to-bring-series-back-for-13-episodes-despite-cancellation-rumors-video.htm]found this headline and article[/url], which is indicating that publicly, it's still "on the bubble", but it's looking as though it's going to get renewed :D! I really, really hope that's the case... And wish they'd just make a decision already, for goodness sake :\\ Did I tell you that Karl Urban has also said that he'd be willing to do a Dredd sequel, if one could actually get off the ground...? I guess that even though it didn't perform well in theaters, it did much better in DVD sales, so that could encourage a sequel to happen. I'd be okay with that :)

:D It could be. For you. And me. If I eventually watch the movie. But, according to Jim Steranko, Clark Gregg/Coulson looks unrecognizable out of necktie, so if he spends most of the movie that way, you could forget it's even him. But yeah, did more research in to that movie too. And it turns out it's from last year, and was released back in April...? Eh....? Maybe it was an extremely limited release or something. Which happens. When it tours the Festival circuits, it still counts as its Official Release Date or whatever. That one is called [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2421416/]Trust Me[/url], anyway.

, actually, because I'm going to sit and have it in my mind the entire time I'm watching Purge 2, probably, and being disappointed if it doesn't match my idea of Warriors-esque. So, yeah. Three movies in May, one in June, one in July, and one in August. And then I came across two movies that sound interesting, but I will definitely be waiting for their DVD releases to see them... Michel Gondry's latest, for one. Which I didn't even know was Michel Gondry's latest until I looked up more information about it! I just read the description of it being about Audrey Tautou and the flower growing in her lungs, and thought that sounded really... Bizarre. But cool! It's called "Mood Indigo". And I should have know it was weird enough to sound like a Gondry plot, but I didn't even guess. Anyway, so Clark Gregg(Coulson) directed, wrote, and star in this movie that's supposed to be out over the Summer. And Sam Rockwell is in it too! So isn't that going to be weird, seeing those two brought together

It could happen. You never know~ Speaking of Shield... Okay, this is a bit weird and confusing to me, now that I've done a bit more research in to it, but I finished reading the Summer Movie Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly yesterday, right. And pretty much had it confirmed that there really are only, like, six movies I am actually wanting to see in the theater. ...Four, if Snowpiercer doesn't open here, and if I decide to Not with the Purge sequel... I'm not entirely sure if I want to pay to see it. I did enjoy the first one enough, and the second one sounds like it's going to be as good if not better since it's trying to resolve the main complaint I had about the first one, which is that it only focused on One Family and that was No Fun... This time it's going to focus on a group of five people or something, fighting their way across a city during Purge Day. The plot was described as being "Warriors-esque" :D! ...But I wish they wouldn't have put that comparison point in my head

...You're right. But Patton Oswalt's character made this Big Deal of pulling Coulson aside, telling him that Fury was still alive, but then threatening him about sharing that information with his team. Coulson was all "I don't feel comfortable with keeping things from my team", but then he agreed that he wouldn't blab. So I don't know...! Oswalt was saying how only some chick that wasn't Black Widow(don't remember her name at the moment), Captain America, himself, and now Coulson know that Fury is actually still alive. Because it's better for him for Hydra to assume he's dead or whatever? Probably so Hydra thinks they have a bigger upper hand than they actually do. Maybe he intends to perform a series of Ultra Sneak Attacks or something :D There has been talk of a solo Nick Fury movie... Maybe they're going to extend this whole "He's dead!" storyline out in to accommodating a solo movie, and the entire thing will be his One Man Mission to Win Back Shield.

who can effortlessly predict future plot points(nicely done, calling the Agent Triplett plot development :D), but how long do you give it before Coulson calls a team meeting and announces to everyone, Ward included, that Fury is still alive? I don't think he's going to be able to resist being a blabbermouth. So, I'll give him one and a half more episodes of keeping quiet. And then in the middle of the next episode after this coming one, he'll talk :D

Infiltrating Shield: Yes. Taking down Genius Skye's Computer Defenses: No. And yeah, I didn't really think about all those Shield bases, but you're absolutely right... Seriously, how many do they need? I thought there was just the one... The Hub, or whatever? And all agents were based there and then were dispatched from there, when they were needed somewhere else. And isn't that were the training school is based too...? But I guess it makes sense for them to have a separate facility for criminals. Their own jail. So I'll give them The Fridge too. But The Treehouse too? Really :\\ And America wonders why its going broke. Because we're financing all these fancy Shield headquarters. That's exactly why. Oh, and the Gravitonium was the stuff Ward and Bill Paxton found underneath the Shield floorboards or whatever, right? If it was, and I think it was... Ward mentioned that Coulson was an idiot and told him about it being there. It probably isn't a good idea to place bets with a man

of the cards. There's, like, an Iron Man card, Captain America, Black Window, Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Hulk, Thor, Falcon, and then the ninth card has everyone on it. They had to stretch to including Nick Fury, even :\\ ...Well, maybe I'm being harsh, and he's awesome enough to deserve his own card. Could be. I wonder if that is signaling he's going to be part of more movies than just Captain America ones, then? Falcon? He's not listed as being part of Age of Ultron though, so I don't know... But yeah, we're pretty much agreed... Decent story, better action :) And that's the second Captain America in a nutshell~ I don't know how I missed your Shield review either, but I totally missed your Shield review :\\ ...Another complaint I forgot to lodge about the episodes...

half bad to look at :D Sadly, I don't think he would keep the eye make-up, if he were to transform in to Captain America :( ...Maybe he could, though. He could be the Gothic Captain America. Hot Topic is already selling Superhero themed things in their store... That could be an additional marketing slant for them, that would probably be super popular. The Gothic Avenger. It could happen. And speaking of marketing, they've already been capitalizing on Falcon's inclusion in CA, which kind of surprised me...? I was looking for new card games and/or board games to play for Easter, because we were going to have a bunch of people over... Ended up just settling for buying a new pack of Uno cards and this double pack of Avengers cards, one being for War and one being for Rummy...

They wouldn't have to recast Steve Rogers, and could instead use an established character to head the movies. I wouldn't mind that, myself, because Sebastian Stan isn't

Because the visual tricks in that movie were so spectacular, you know. When you saw them in 3-D, they totally were. I was definitely in shock coming out of the Raid 2. It was so... Oh, it was amazing. So many times I gasped and held my hand to my mouth and was so _thrilled_ by the well choreographed fight scenes I was seeing... It was so good, Percy! _So good_. More double triple double crossing, so the storyline wasn't half bad either... And sometimes it was kind of... Like, two guys would be in a room full of other guys, and the two guys are fighting... And everyone is just standing around and watching them! Instead of helping out there teammate, by ganging up on the one guy he's fighting. Which I would have done. Tipped the odds in favor of my gang and its members. But instead they were more like "Well, let's just see where this goes. No need to interfere". So that was kind of silly. But other than that... Oh, such a good movie. Definitely an 8.5. Did you see what IMDB is giving it?

You can't be all "Hand me your hooves and we'll pull you out of there". I guess they could have dragged all the capsules to the shore... Like a boat could have towed them or something, and then they could have craned the animals out of them. I'm not sure... I wondered, though. A much _better_ movie I saw was The Raid 2 :D!!!!!!

The setting and the colors and those interesting shots they would sometimes take, where the screen looked like one of those old War Recruitment Posters or something... Like a line of police officers were shown kind of in shadow, all pointing their guns up at the exact same time to shoot at robots.

So, I pushed for going to see The Raid 2 on Saturday, but my request was denied :( Ended up going to see the new Captain America instead, which is fine, because now I'm all caught up and I can continue with watching Agents of Shield and seeing what's to become of them, after what went down in CA went down. I didn't go see it in 3-D, though, because its next showing was fifty five minutes away from when we arrived at the theater, and we decided that it wasn't worth the wait to see it that way... Which I think was a wise choice, because there wasn't anything really in CA that I could see looking _that_ much more spectacular, had I seen it in 3-D. Sure, there were fantastic looking explosions, and his shield zipping around and stuff, but I don't know... I was impressed enough in 2-D, so... Yeah. It was a really good movie, too...

I guess having _one_ customer that comes in every single month to pick up a specific title doesn't warrant the necessity of keeping that one title in stock, cos I recently had this happen with FBP... I've looked for the newest issue twice over the last few weeks, expecting it to be on the shelf, but it hasn't been... I thought maybe it was all sold out or something...? But I finally worked up the nerve to talk to the dude working behind the cash register about it, and...

And I think he said something about being fifteen episodes in. Something like that. So if they are going with at least a twenty episode season... Five more to go, possibly. I'll have to look in to that... I figure the show must be getting at least a little bit better, episode quality rise, because Steranko has actually found positive things to say about these past few episodes :0 Kind of sad it took them over half the season to get there, but... To the continued topic of Marvel Movies... It sounds as though Evans is definitely going to be out once his contract expires, because it was a headline story about... A week or so ago? That he wants to completely give up acting an be a director instead. Hm! I don't know how many more Captain Americas/Avengers he's obligated to film, but there will at least be one more CA, since they already have the release date set up for it. It's going to be released the same day as the Superman Sequel :\ But I guess Marvel had the May 6th, 2016 date picked

ahead and incinerate him completely, because I really don't think there would be too much left. Wasn't too surprised with the Traitor Plot "Twist" though... As soon as I got a handle on the direction they were going in, I kind of figured it was going to be the chick in the severe lipstick being up to something shady. ...Even if they did try to make me think it was May, and maybe I _did_ entertain the idea that she _could_ be a traitor, which would have sucked, because they would have been eliminating the only Shield agent that is actually cool :\ But it doesn't seem like they are. Unless Ward decides to haul off and shoot her too. Which could happen, I suppose. But yeah, I kind of wonder how many episodes we have left to go in this season...? If they're trotting out all this High Drama. And the Explosions. I think we're on... Episode fifteen or something though? I was glancing at Jim Steranko's review for the episode, which I haven't read yet...

Did my homework yesterday and watched that... Well, I guess it would still be considered the newest episode of Shield, since the one tonight hasn't premiered yet. And there _will_ be a new episode this evening too... It promises to be the most "Explosive, Game Changing Episode Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!", so said the voice over guy that was discussing the events that are supposed to take place in the next episode. And the last time they said "explosive", the episode really did end with explosions... It was the one where... A car exploded or whatever? And that Mike guy was caught up in what happened and got serious burns and stuff. I don't think he can take much more damage though... I mean, he's already missing a couple of limbs(isn't he?) and he's got a metal plate thing in his head and half of his body is covered in burns and oh, I felt so bad for him, seeing him in the last episode and what he's been reduced to :( So yeah, if he's involved in the next explosion, they're going to have to go

You had to go see "Noah", huh? I'm sorry :( I'm kind of surprised to hear there wasn't much in the way of visual spectacle, because they were billing that movie as a Disaster Flick, so you'd think they would have done what they could to make it function in that way, which _would_ have been something that made the most of 3-D technology and destroying stuff :D Did Noah end up getting incredibly drunk after successfully finding land once he had to board the ark? I guess that happens in the bible :0 He gets drunk, disrobes, then passes out in a tent or something. ...I think. And I can't imagine Russel Crowe, or someone directing Russel Crowe, would have passed up the opportunity to have him play that particular state, since he'd do it so well... So I bet they did include a scene like that :D Luckily for me, only one half-suggestion was made to see Noah, and that person never said another word about it after initially mentioning it, so I don't think I'll ever have to see it :)

The movie was mostly awful and slightly confusing, though. Like, Fitz and his maybe girlfriend but not really girlfriend end up with this psychopath terrorizing them. And right in that synopsis on IMDB, they're like "Their tormentor has an unknown motive". I swear to goodness you go from beginning to end of this movie and his motive is still unknown. Which is a little stupid. This dude doing all these terrible things, and never knowing why he was doing those terrible things. Hm. And Fitz turned out to be the exact kind of guy you _don't_ want as your sole companion in a Horror Movie, because even though he's cute and stuff, he's kind of a wuss and won't do much in the way of protecting you. So you'd better be able to protect yourself, or you're out of luck. He definitely tried, but ultimately... Yeah, he was a wuss. It was neat to see him outside of Shield, though~

And when it _was_ used, the old people around me mostly just giggled. No pearl clutching at all. I was really surprised by that. And even more surprised that there was barely a scandalized reaction to this one painting that was in the movie too, and it was graphically lewd... Old people were like "I don't mind this either". Maybe pearl clutching really only does ever happen in the movies or in books. And real old people are made from tougher stuff. I don't know. Oh, oh! Man! Another movie I watched! That I totally forgot to tell you about! I almost did. Forget to tell you. I saw our Fitz in a Horror Movie :0!!!!!! [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2165859/?ref_=nv_sr_1]This one[/url]. I didn't even register that he was in it when my mother discovered the movie and wanted to read it, but as soon as the opening credits started rolling, he was doing a voice over... Recognized his voice right away. I was like "Hey, that sounds like Fitz!", and then he came on screen, and it was Fitz!

So I said "No, sorry...", but man, it makes me so angry in retrospect that I apologized, because Seriously, I wasn't even talking through the movie. Or even the trailers, which would be another understandable instance of irritation. I was talking through the commercials that no one cares about, and that other people around us were also talking through. I wish I could have had a snappier comeback to this guy than "Sorry....". I was telling my brother about it, and he said that I should have said "Well dude, if you live long enough to see the beginning of the movie, you'll find out if I'm going to talk through it too". Which is _exactly_ what I should have said. Zinging old people. I don't even care, the guy was a Jerk. They did not get scandalized by the cussing in Grand Budapest Hotel, by the way. Which was not as prevalent as I was lead to believe! It was used sometimes. But not all of the time.

Totally was again at this one. Wall to Wall Old People. No Kidding. My theater was packed. Which didn't take an awful lot of people to have happen, actually, because they stuck us in one of the smallest theaters in the place. I still had to sit next to a lady I didn't know, though, which is always uncomfortable. Especially when they come in with their own snacks and soda, and put that soda in the cup holder right next to you, so you have to keep reminding yourself "Yes, that soda looks as though it could belong to me, but No, I didn't buy a soda, so I can't reach out and take a sip of this one". I did have to think about that from time to time :( Anyway, during the commercials that are shown before the trailers before the movie. I was having a conversation about other movies. There's this old dude sitting two seats down from me, and he leans over and goes "Are you going to be doing this all through the movie too? Talking?". Like, he was really mean!

Even though I read this review that was written by someone who generally Does Not Like Wes Anderson movies, but he really, really liked this Wes Anderson movie because he felt it was quite a bit different from most Wes Anderson movies. So, you know. But, it had all the things I generally like most about Anderson movies. Eccentric characters behaving eccentrically, the attention to detail that leads to these little Worlds being created unto themselves... And the number of well known actors he crams into his movies, I tell you. Willem Dafoe is... The role he plays in the movie is... Totally bizarre, and mean, but actually a lot of fun to watch. But so many performances were enjoyable, actually. And I didn't cringe to see Jude Law, so that's awesome. I guess. Not that I'm ever going to like or get excited to see him in movies every again, but, you know. So anyway. My experience. Remember how I told you that Wes Anderson movies are populated by old people?

Numbers, rather... For a very long time :0 Like, another thing that I was completely clueless about. Is the popularity of Spider-Man. So that just goes to show I know practically Nothing At All. Marvel is relaunching the series, right? Under the Marvel Now! banner, and his book is going to be reset to issue one. [url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/orders-amazing-spider-man-comic-693066]Half a million copies have already been pre-ordered[/url]. Which is something else that is Completely Insane to me. But I was also discussing this with Tj, and he thinks Spider-Man is to Marvel what Batman is to DC, in terms of popularity. Really? :0 But he was the only Marvel Superhero that I know of that got his exploits published weekly in the Newspaper Comics section... So, you know. That probably does say an awful lot. Maybe. So anyway, anyway. Coming back around to The Grand Budapest Hotel. Which was very much typical Wes Anderson to me...

They said they have their movie schedule plotted until the year 2028 o_o Fourteen years from now. ...Right? Yeah, fourteen. I brought up my computers calculator and checked :D I do not think people are still going to want to be watching Superhero movies that long from now :\ Or not with the same enthusiasm they currently are. I mean, Captain America 2 made _ninety six million dollars here_, its opening weekend. That is Insane. I really do think so. And I completely agree with you that this Geek Mania Bubble is going to burst eventually, and yeah, they aren't going to be able to keep replicating those successes forever and ever. Or even for the next fourteen years. I'm no good at prognostication unless I have someone else's well researched and professional opinion guiding my own opinion, though, as evidenced by how well I can do in the Oscar Guessing Game :D So, you know. Perhaps the general public will surprise us and keep going to see these kinds of movies in large number

I'm quite sure I can resist it, though. And I tell you, it was quite a Surreal experience watching The Avengers again now, after having spent the past couple of months watching Coulson on Shield... Seeing him in the movie, I got so excited! That spark of familiarity, you know. Thinking to myself "Hey, it's Coulson! I watch him on television every week! ...Practically!". Even though I knew he was going to be in the movie, because it's not like I haven't seen The Avengers before. Still, it was kind of weird, watching it now after having had him be a part of my weekly television watching schedule and stuff. Funny how that works. I know I am getting completely and utterly sidetracked from the subject I was originally going to start talking about, but I'm already talking about Superhero stuff, so... I'll keep right on. Did you already read the headline about how confident Marvel is in their movies continuing to be successful for years to come?

But yeah, hopefully I can avoid this until I do go see it, which will probably be in a couple of weeks. They're talking another tie-in episode with Shield, so I'm thinking you might have to be the one to demo that for me and make sure there's no major spoilers :) Of course, I did have the same worry about their Thor 2 tie-in episode, and there wasn't an awful lot of that going on. Just references to destruction sites, and then that whole portal thing was part of the episode too? So, maybe it will be like that with the Captain America episode too. I'm not entirely sure... But no, I'm back to being lazy again and I didn't watch the new Shield episode ^^; So I couldn't read your review. But, again! I will! Once I've seen it. Probably today. Now that I've caught up on all of my other shows, and don't have them to distract me :D ...No, actually, the new episode of Once Upon a Time was shown last night. So that's going to be on there to tempt me.

I have Movie Times to report on as well! And it's a shame we couldn't have traded places, not just so you could have seen what I think would have been a better movie, but so you could have expertly handled the situation I was in much better than I did, which was Not At All. So, I went to go see "The Grand Budapest Hotel", just like I aimed to. Showings of Captain America were selling out too, so even if I wanted to see that, which I firmly Did Not, because I had a feeling something like that may possibly happen... Even though, by not seeing Captain America Now, I run the same risk my brother has already encountered and been the victim of, which is Spoilers :\ Some friend of his went to go see it, and without even warning anyone! He talked about the ending and something/someone that is revealed at the end of it. I think it's some character. Possibly. Entertainment Weekly was talking about it too, but I didn't read the article, of course.
