OMG, OMG, OMG, I just read an announcement at www.comicbookmovie.com that Hot Toys is going to announce a 1/6th-scale figure of our very own S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson at the Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong! The new LJ Scrapbook upload function is not playing well with my work computer, so I'll just add the link to John Wilbanks' article.

I found out this morning, quite by accident, that The Avengers is still playing at the AMC Painters Crossing 9, which I pass on my way home from work... it's only there through this Thursday, apparently (or at least I have no information on showtimes past that), but perhaps I'll stop for the 6:30 show this evening and see it for the fifteenth time ( Read more... )

Last night Deb and I went to see The Avengers again. I've seen it eight times now - I'm getting to the point where I can recite lines of script under my breath with the actors on screen.

After a lovely smoked-turkey Christmas dinner, Bhil and I went to the local theater to watch Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Now, I love me some Robert Downey, Jr., and I think he's managed to capture to some extent exactly how difficult a person Holmes would have been to be around, but I don't remember the literary Holmes being quite so ADHD, ( Read more... )

Bhil and I decided to take in a movie tonight, and ended up at Immortals. I had to come right home and post a warning, in case any of my flist was considering going to see this travesty.

This film is bad. I mean, really bad. It makes 300 look like high art. Makes Clash of the Titans - either of them - look good by comparison. It's slickly produced ( Read more... )
