and we're borrowing. get your feet off the dash.
happy easter to them what celebrate it, and to them what don't, a very lovely sunday. hopefully a very lovely spring-like sunday.
today i went to see catws again - well, after i locked myself out of my apartment, which i discovered when i couldn't get my car door open >.< - i don't think i caught anything this time that i missed the first time - except that pierce has what looks a lot like a jar of newman's own spaghetti sauce in his fridge, and i wonder if it was robert redford's idea or the directors' idea, and i hope that paul newman would get a kick out of it - and i paid attention for ed brubaker altho since i don't really know what he looks like (other than "he has glasses, i think") i still have no idea who he is. i'd read somewhere about steve's anger issues, so i was kind of looking for that, but i'm not sure i totally saw it. i mean, yes, obviously, he's pissed at fury - and stays pissed for most of the movie - for the lies and project insight's politics of fear, and he doesn't completely trust natasha until after shield/hydra tries to blow them up in zola's bunker (and can i just mention how much i love that zola's an ai stored in forty-year-old computer tech? he was preserved on magnetic tape! hundreds and hundreds of banks of what are essentially jumped-up reel-to-reel tape players!), but when he's talking to peggy and sam about he's not sure if this is what he signed up for back in the day, and it's not the government he put himself in the antarctic to save, and he's not sure he can serve this america like he served ww2 america - he seemed more disappointed and frustrated and kind of lost, and not so much angry. maybe i'm misreading, i don't know. i do think he's pissed off, and i like that when he's mad at you, you know it and you know why, but i saw his anger as being directed at fury more than anything else.
well, after zola spills the beans about hydra, i did see him being mad at shield.... especially giving fury orders that yeah, the whole organization is coming down. tearing down the old world to build a new one, like pierce (and peggy!) said. kind of scorched-earth, but hey, his original mission was to take out hydra, so.
and as a total aside, because i can't remember if i mentioned this in my first reaction, i really love that the servicemember talking in sam's ptsd group, when steve goes to see him, is a woman.
the scene with steve and bucky fighting on the helicarrier was still hard to watch, as was the scene with pierce's scientists and bucky asking about steve - "i knew him" - and then pierce telling them to wipe his mind and start over.
i still don't like his hair, tho.
oh, at the end, when they're doing, like, wrap-up scenes - steve waking up in the hospital and sam sitting next to the bed, maria hill apparently taking a polygraph to work at stark enterprises - a burned-looking guy is wheeled into a hospital on a stretcher. is that supposed to be rumlow? i figured whoever it was had to be important in some respect, since he was getting some screentime. and he couldn't be bucky.
there was some audience cheering a couple times and laughter a couple times but overall there wasn't a lot of audience participation. one of the girls in front of me got all excited once or twice, tho, which was cute.
after that i went to the comic store, where issues of constantine are piling up in my sub folder to the point that i need to either buy them or take it off my pull list. there was a new title in my folder, something called caliban which is written by garth ennis which is why someone put it in my folder. looks kind of like horror on a spaceship. could be good, could be too horrific for me. we'll see.
yesterday i made a small amount of progress on my bigbang and yes you are going to have to hear about this for the next week and a half, and then i met my mom and sister to go clothes shopping (i bought a dress possibly for my cousin's wedding in july), and then i went back to my sister's house so we could watch the first hobbit movie again. and eat. (we demolished like an entire box of gluten-free matzah crackers.) and watch a bunch of modern family reruns. and i got home late.
i have currently hit bigbang panic mode, and will probably continue to panic right up until i send in the draft. at least i have a title and summary(ish). but i have a bunch of connecting scenes i need to write, and i'm pretty sure i have to flesh out a bunch of existing scenes, and i have to figure out how to end it. i'll do it because i don't have a choice, but it won't be pretty.
in the spirit of spring, have some nerdily decorated peeps. bunny peeps, not chicken peeps, tho.
