I swear this isn't about Thor's body

I shouldn't have this much to say about Thor. At least this isn't about Thor really?

After the debacle that was shoe-horning in Black Widow into iron Man 2 and all the Avengers stuff that Jon Favreau clearly wanted nothing to do with, I was, despite my abiding love of Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson (who I think is way more interesting than Samuel L.

Woo Clark Gregg! :D

I'm a fan. I thought he did such a great, understated job in Iron Man and even Iron Man 2. I think, in fact, Iron Man 2 benefited more him having that one conversation with Robert Downey Jr. where he outlined what Stark would have to do to stop derailing himself than it did from just about the rest of everything new to that movie.

I'm biased, though. I love Clark Gregg!

I've been a Clark Gregg fan ever since he played an FBI agent on The West Wing way back when. Kind of the same character, in fact.

"In thirteen years with the Bureau, I've discovered that there's no amount of money, manpower or knowledge that can equal the person you're looking for being stupid."

Oh man, I have got to watch that series. Every time I see a clip or read a line of dialogue from that show, I get completely interested in it to the distraction of anything else, but somehow, I never get there.

Clark Gregg, however, could get me there. Have you seen Choke? He plays a particularly self-righteous sort who's always riding Sam Rockwell, but he carries it off. (The movie's a wash, which is a shame because I love Sam Rockwell, too.)

Sadly, he has a fairly small part (IMDb says he was in 8 episodes), but YESSS, watch that show! If you need more motivation to get started, want to do a marathon some weekend? It's one of my favorites and I never get tired of it.

I haven't seen Choke and I'm not sure I could get through it (not a Palahniuk fan), but I will now at least look up some of his scenes on youtube.

Choke is not even particularly good Palahniuk, so I'm not recommending it overly. Neither book nor movie really did much for me. But to see Clark Gregg in ye olde wig as, like, mayor of a 1700s recreation historical site is pretty out there.

And, when I have a weekend free, I'll let you know about The West Wing. So, uh, August?

...or maybe September. (I'm out of town either two or three weekends in August.) SOMEDAY!
