Way OT (but its the offseason)- Who's going to see the Avengers tonight?
Well who else is going out for midnight screenings? Got myself tickets on Tuesday and they were nearly soldout with 4 showings. It received a score of 92% from the critics at Rotten Tomatoes which makes me more excited, plus Joss Whedon directed so it has to be good.
I know the Dark Knight was probably the best comic book genre movie, but I myself am a Marvel fanboy so this appeals to me more than Nolan's Batman movies do.
Go ahead and delete if necessary but I figured someone out there is probably nerding out like I am tonight for this movie.
I was lucky enough to see a screening of it the other day and you have every right be to be excited. It's extremely well done.
but will be seeing it tomorrow evening on a date with a Christina Hendricks look-a-like.
Which one are you more excited about? That seems like a good problem to have.
The look-a-like has aready given birth to my 3 kids.
HOWEVA, she does have a thing for Scarlett Johansson, so if that helps her get her freak on tomorrow it will certainly be a win-win!
As a woman, I love that you still think your wife is hot! You need to show her this and you will really score some points....
It's funny that your initial post got upvoted to the max, but your adorable post about how it's your wife didn't receive a single one.
Where are our values people? ;-)
And I'm definitely seeing it this weekend.
forget the movie.
and well played, good sir!
I'm not going to a screening tonight, but I'll be seeing it for sure this weekend. I'm stoked about the Avengers
Meh... The only movies I might see in the near future are The Dictator and Prometheus.
I've never seen the Alien movies, but Prometheus looks awesome.
and watch them. NOW!
You have an opportunity to see the Alien franchise in a way that many fans wish they could. That is to watch Alien and Aliens and STOP! Just make believe that Alien 3, Alien Resurrection and the Alien vs Predator movies were never made. It's too late for us but your memories of the franchise can be saved. Though Prmethius looks promising with Ridley Scott back at the helm.
Also I Fandangoed my Avengers tix for Friday night. Giggidy.
what are these movies you are talking about???
Are you the same guy who claims there are Matrix sequels???
I just caught a matinee screening of Who's Afriad of Virginia Woolf at the Orpheum. Richard Burton . . . and Liz Taylor Ce'st Moi!
I've been nerdgasming about this since the aperance of Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man. Josh Whedon as writter/director makes it even better.
I'll be there.
You mean Joss? Because nothing will ever top Firefly.
Yes Joss... damnit. Firefly was awsome. The dialog he writes can make a good story outstanding.
Yup. I'm going at midnight. Can't wait. It's going to be great.
To be honest, I had no idea what the Avengers movie was, when I saw this thread. Not sure I completely do now either, but I'm guessing some comic book thing. Maybe I missed the boat, or it's just my age group (mid 30's), but I don't even know a single person who's into this type of genre. Must be a certain age group, I guess.
Anyway, hope it's worth the late night. I'll probably get the kids down, and plow through a 6 pack of something!
....and I will admit that I knew about the movie well in advance and will be seeing it this weekend. However, unlike MGoUser jabberwock, I only have someone who looks a bit like a Taylor Swift with auburn hair to take with me, so I may not fully understand his situation.
For the time being, "Smokey And The Bandit" is on Retroplex, I have a Guiness and the kids are asleep.
I think the last non-animated movie I watched in the theatre, was like Bonefish, or National Treasure or something.......I guess that's what kids will do to your life.
Also, my wife would ship me out if I mentioned dragging her to a power ranger, or whatever movie.
I hope your situation improves gangsta.
I watched Megamind with my 5 yr. old, two nights ago, for the first time. I loved it, and I think she thought it was OK too.
Oh yeah, last movie I saw in the theatre: Smurfs.
Fly right by any commercials, and for the life of me, can't bring myself to pay any attention to the ones I accidentally view....as I'm reading this blog on my phone, checking fantasy baseball (this time of year), or work emails, etc...
I'll add this to my bucket list though
I know of a few people who pull off the dvr'd gameday, and I understand the regularly programming...but I think I see most of my commercials during sports.
Yes, everyday. However, as I mentioned, the minute it turns to commercial, I'm on the phone or tablet, etc, checking/replying to work emails, reading the blog, WN, etc.... I guess I'm able to tune everything else out. My wife frequently asks something, or makes a comment about a commercial, while I'm in the same room, and I'm clueless, as my head was burried in my phone. Drives her crazy!
I too am in my mid thrities...have been looking forward to this movie for years. Almost everyone I know is excited about this. I guess most of the people I work with are Engineers (EE/SE) in their late twenties or military in their mid-twenties...99% of them are going to see this move in the next two weeks.
To each his/her own.
A buddy of mine told me yesterday afternoon he would be going to a midnight showing. I had no idea what he was talking about. That was honestly the first time I had ever heard of this movie. I still don't really understand what the deal is. People have been excited for years? This is a movie, right?
The first 3/4 fails to live up to the hype... but don't judge it until you see how it ends.
I am going to see the it at 12:10 with my girl.
The movie was great but the experience was somewhat tempered by one of the most annoying moviegoes I have ever had the misfortune of sitting by.
I'm seeing the 1201 showing, should be good.
Really excited. Love pretty much everything about this movie without having seen it. Scarlett Johansson is so hot. (I miss the popcorn gifs from when tresselgate was going on). I love all the characters. Can't wait to see more Hawkeye. Not looking forward to work in the morning though.
Forgot about that. Scarlett Johansson is never ot. Especially with pics.
I also got lucky enough to see the movie. I was so absorbed in the movie that I started sweating, and it had nothing to do with the temperature.
Hulk? Ok.
Captain America? I suppose.
Thor? No thanks.
Some dude with a bow and arrow?... Uh...
Hot chick in tight shit? Ok, I'm in for the DVD release.
Going Saturday night.
