movies!
Today the husband is off to the school to see about possibly testing out of gen ed courses and transferring some credits. I am off to the doctor's to have my yearly exam and talk about various things that will prevent a Zweeble 2.0. I love the kid, but he's more than enough.
Our weekend was really nice--we hung out with jkason and David, and went to Captain America, made pizza, watched Doctor Who, and acted like geeky grownups.
Captain America was a nice, solid comic book movie. I liked Chris Evans, and I was glad they had Steve Rogers as a scrawny guy for about half of the movie--he's still scrawny in his brain, even when he's Cap, and if you don't make the audience feel that, too, I don't think you can make a good movie about Captain America.
I am really looking forward to The Avengers, which I would not have predicted even six months ago.
In the previews we had: 3 trailers involving men jumping super-crazy high (4 of you count Apollo 18 which is set on the moon, but does not involve the same heights of jumping), 2 trailers with men sticking to the sides of glossy, reflective skyscrapers, and 2 trailers with the same line: "We all have secrets." I believe Hollywood may be in a bit of a rut.
Also, while I think Andrew Garfield looks like Peter Parker* (especially since Tobey Maguire's getting a bit long in the tooth for the part), I don't think we really need a new Spider-Man franchise yet. Just saying.
Okay, time to get shoes on and track down some socks.
*Maybe more Ultimate Universe Peter Parker, but whatever. Movie Nick Fury is Ultimate Universe Nick Fury, too.
