Yes, I *know* there is also a trailer for
The Avengers (2012) but... (and please, no houndin' me outta town on a rail for this kaithanxbai!) I am not grokking this yet.
It looks great and I am sure that when the time comes I will utterly adore it but... not at the moment. In my defence - I said pretty similar things about X-Men: First Class as well... and look how *that* turned out! Even so - will be there opening weekend. If I've caught up on my film watching by then...

So - next week
This Means War opens - which as a McG film would have me scurrying in the complete and total opposite direction. Seriously. But there is
this - which made my brain go *BOOM* (kudos to whoever found this!) and then there is
this - read it just for the comment from Tom Hardy.
It's going to be utter crap - but hot guys, sharp suits, heavy ordnance and things going BOOM - that's a ticket sold.

Haven't read this through properly - but
EW magazine on why Shame (2011) should be recognized for more than just the nude scenes. A Thousand Times YES! It was one of the best films I saw last year and one of the best for this year too. Also - it's utter snubbing by the Academy was a travesty beyond words (as was Captain America - The First Avenger but I want to concentrate on the squee)

A fic rec to finish our 'broadcast' day -
Laws of Ownership by Thefarofixer (Kirk/Spock|Star Trek (2009)|PG) - a very gentle, sweet story that made me smile.
