So you're saying this is just the flipside of the Louboutin fetish? Fair enough.
When Loki said it, I actually jerked, and then looked around the theatre to see if other people had caught it. No one else was obviously doing the same, so maybe thy caught it or maybe they didn't.
Also, I loved Loki's hair. While I'm still all about Thor and Iron Man and Captain America, I actually found Loki pretty damn hot in this one. Really, there was just a surplus of hotness in this movie.
At one point during the final battle someone - I forget who - crashes through a bus stop plastered with Jansport ads, and both times I sat there going "...Did Jansport pay for that? What an odd company to get product placement in this movie!"
Also very much in evidence in the NYC scenes: posters for Disney's The Lion King. Which is inevitable if you shoot on location in NYC - except the fight scene took place literally a block away from my office, and those ads are much more likely to be on the other side of Manhattan. So...interesting.
Oh, I know. I'm just wondering how much of those posters were coincidentally shot on location, deliberately shot on location, or added to a set and/or post-production. I know I saw other posters/ads near them, but the Lion King ones stood out to me.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the masses didn't even realise what was being said, but still, both me and my gf sort of gasped in shock/horror at that line and looked at each other. No one else in the row, or indeed the packed theatre even flinched.
Well, I didn't really think it was obscure either, but I do think that people with larger vocabularies don't often realise that others don't share those vocabularies. I'm often bewildered when I use a word that to me seems commonplace, and the person to whom I'm speaking has no idea what I'm saying. It's certainly an antiquated term, though I'd think that people in the UK might be more familiar with it than people in the US. My partner and I were discussing the efficacy of getting around the rating system when the majority of the people watching have no idea what it means. There was a poll on another lj, the readers of which are generally well-read (it's a woman who does a lot of book reviews, and not much else). She was asking if they knew what quim meant, and if not, what did they think it meant, when they heard it. Only two of fourteen (so far) knew the term. I'd imagine that's a bit skewed since they are a well-read group. The others thought it was a made up slur from Asgard, or something in a Norse language, lol
Oh, cool! I did not realize there was a semi-canonical answer to my idle ponderings, but of course the answer is that I just need to seek out the correct geeks.

I actually exclaimed at Loki's line (the one under discussin, I can't make myself type it). And cheered when Natasha turned it right around on him.
I'm pretty sure the Loki!hair is a wigweave thing. Hiddleston's natural hair is curly blonde.

I figure that they probably covered up a set of existing non-sponsor boards with inhouse art :)
I'll try to remember to have a look

(I was going to say "more than the average bear" but of course, bears: not known for interest in vulvas. Vulvae?)

A lot of the Marvel placements are done outside the film, so you have Shield Agents in mini-movie scenes that are product placement ads.
