As it was, I kept leaning to my left, where my best friend was, and passing on the gems and the two of us were giggling... I said to her, "I WANT to tell them to shut up, but some of this is comedy gold." <br /><br />Tim Alan: Interesting! I use "thick" all the time to refer to stupid people and never realized that was a regional thing. I wonder if it's a British term?Nikki Staffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463618183850438914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-78678700260634503772012-05-22T08:51:22.192-04:002012-05-22T08:51:22.192-04:00An incredible movie.

It was fun to read your commentary on her.<br />I too scoured every single scene looking for Alexis. When it ended, I didn't know how I could've missed him... til I too got home and looked it up.

I really want to see it again. Everything was awesome, but I loved the Hulk best. I adored the TV show as a kid and have always been disappointed in his various movie incarnations in the past. Leave it to Joss to get it right finally!<br /><br />Black Widow's characterization was very strong, which should be no surprise given Joss wrote this. As has been pointed out in so many of the reviews I have read, it is also no surprise that Joss was able to write for an ensemble cast as well as this, too. He really is amazing.<br /><br />Nikki, you must be one of the most patient people around because what you describe with the impolite viewers would have driven me to distraction. I doubt I could have enjoyed the movie.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-88305542201735535022012-05-21T16:34:58.917-04:002012-05-21T16:34:58.917-04:00I loved it too - especially the face that the scen...I loved it too - especially the face that the scene in Germany is actually Public Square was shot right here in Cleveland Ohio!!!!<br /><br />Also some of the fight scenes in the end as well. I'm still mad at myself for not going to open casting last summer to be an extra and kneel to Loki.<br /><br />BTW Nikki - did you say that girl was thick - as in stupid?

Even his trademark suave accent was altered to an unrecognizable point. I hope he returns as Thanos' underling in Avengers 2!<br /><br />@ NIKKI: That thick girl is frriggin' HILARIOUS. I had a similar experience when I went to go see "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer". There were four younger teenage guys sitting next to me, and this is literally what some of their in-movie conversations sounded like:<br /><br />GUY #1: The Human Torch is the fire one, right?<br /><br />GUY #1: Yo, did you see that guy?! He was silver! He was on a surfboard....Guys! I think that was the Silver Surfer!!!!<br /><br />GUY #1: Yo, is that the bad guy from the FIRST movie?<br />GUY #2: No, I don't think so. The bad guy from the first movie was Dr. Doom. They keep calling THIS guy VICTOR Doom.<br /><br />And so on.

It makes more sense than a person ACTUALLY asking these questions.<br /><br />I was also looking for Alexis Denisof throughout the entire film, and when it was over I felt very bad about myself ("How could I have missed him?!"), but IMDb made me feel better ("-THAT's how!"). Enver Gokaj was easily spotted, though. :)<br /><br />I looove Mark Ruffalo, so I was very excited to have him be in the film, but I could never have predicted the awesomeness that is the Hulk in the Avengers! He steals the film. Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark is in this, and STILL the Hulk steals the film!<br /><br />The one person I cared even less about seeing than the Hulk was Black Widow. I haven't really liked Scarlett Johansson in anything she'd done after Lost In Translation (and even that was Bill Murray's film anyway), I felt she was reaching Tom Cruise levels of over-estimation, and I would describe her appearance in Iron Man 2 as "standard-hot-girl-in-a-catsuit", but here I realised that all the poor girl needed all along was to be given a descent character who wasn't sexy/femme fatale. Not only was I fine with her performance, I actually hope to have a Black Widow film! Ah, Joss, you and your women...<br />(I still hate her for making out with Matt Damon, though.)Efthymianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-48667668152049983462012-05-21T00:39:38.510-04:002012-05-21T00:39:38.510-04:00I loved the dialogue!
