Movie: Avengers: Age of Ultron (5-01-15)

[epilogue]

Heh, Ultron took a quick glance at the internet then immediately decided that humanity needs to be wiped out. I couldn't agree more.

Is this for real? Like, that's the plot of this movie?

If he based his plans on a quick run through the internet, he should have known that he could just retard the growth of an entire generation of men by helping them spend their adulthood chasing the iconography of their youth. It would probably make them easy pickings.

we're not so different, you and i

Jason Mraz for President!

joey i don't understand your posts since i've come back

Oh, well see, your post "we're not so different you and I" is a direct quote from the hit song You and I Both by Jason Mraz. I was celebrating your good taste in singer-songwriters, duh.

i retract my phrasing

God, you're sexy.

is that also from a jason mraz song?

No. It's from EVERY Jason Mraz song.

hmmm they present the quote as this

“You know what my final test was in the Red Room? They sterilized me, said it was one less thing to worry about. You think you’re the only monster on the team?”

When I could swear it was something like

“You know what my final test was in the Red Room? They sterilized me, said it was one less thing to worry about... You think you’re the only monster on the team?”

the ellipses being where she talks about how the lack of something (a baby) that could mean more than your mission and it made it easier to kill. She was trained to kill and not value life, that's what made her a monster. If I am wrong, I'll admit it, but I just saw the movie last night and I remember those words being the context of her feeling like a monster.

Also, the whole "I can't have kids" was offered up to Banner as something they have in common when he questions if they could have a future together and he says that he can't have children. It was supposed to be a unifying moment between two people that care for each other.

Everyone calm down

[BurtReynolds]

Just think: if twitter dies its deserving death, not only will the world be a better place, but skitch and lament will be forced to post here again. Quit twitter. It's a win for everyone.

[Jorge]

Twitter >>>> RM.

[BurtReynolds]

That hurts.

[Mecca]

does that mean joss whedon is going to start posting on RM again?

[Jorge]

I can't wait.

[BurtReynolds]

RM should implement hashtags. Thats probably what's holding us back.

This Star Wars isn’t being made for you, 9 year old kid full of hope and wonder…you gloriously imaginative packet of energy with deep-rooted yearnings to explore the fantastic. It’s being made for us...for the middle aged and tired. For dull-eyed saps who have grown deeply conservative about our consumer choices, and oversell ourselves on the greatness of the past in order to cover for that. This Star Wars is for fat and increasingly unremarkable people, with plenty of pocket money and a desire to recapture the excitement of our youth in as comfortable and safe a way as possible.

We are a special people. We came of age in the late-70’s to early-80’s, when the movie industry was just discovering mass merchandizing and family-focused blockbusters. We matured in the mid-80’s and 90’s, when those blockbusters began to take on richer themes and acquired better special effects, and when comedies couldn’t possibly have been better aimed at our exact demographic. We became professionals and family men, just as the post-Matrix/Lord of the Rings movie industry began to embrace dark science fiction tones and increasingly mature content. We became old enough to live on nostalgia, and wealthy enough to feed that passion, just in time to usher in an entire world full of comic book movies aimed at our unacknowledged arrested development.

We are a generation of movie goers who have literally never not been pandered to, stupid 9-year old, and this Star Wars is for us…as all things are.

It is the Rolling Stones megatour of movie marketing. Oh…sorry, 9-year old. You probably don’t get that reference. Just know that a Rolling Stone looks a heck of a lot like Harrison Ford, only more alive.

Or I don't know.
