Star Trek: Into Darkness vs. Iron Man 3

May 19, 2013 21:25

Wow you guys, there is a WORK UPDATE coming. So much going on, literally no time to examine it/write about it, collective sighs of "thank God she shut up for a while."

That will happen later, though. Today, with what little fragmented energy I have left, I want to talk about SUMMER MOVIES.

( So many spoilers, so much nerd rage, buyer beware, enter if you dare, etc. )

I like Tony Stark, he's just this unapologetic alcoholic, rich dick, money wasting, sleeping around with whomever, Republican prick. But you still end up liking him, idk, I guess because even in the comics he's never really about being a hero, that's just some shit he does on the side to mask his romance with Captain America into a bromance, even though everyone fucking knows what's up (in the comics ( ... )

YOU KNOW WHAT'S AWESOME IS I ACTUALLY DIDN'T HATE PALTROW IN IM:3. I don't know how they did it (well tbh they strapped her to a vertical gurney and tortured her for like half the movie) but even when she came back to life or whatever I was like U GO GOOP! I liked her! How did they do that!

wait...who played his dad in the first one? Original Sarek was p. good too, you're right. Lemme see if I can find new Sarek though...

here is a fanvid WHATEVER

IDK LIKE I GET WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, and maybe it's just Spock's specific human vs. Vulcan duality, but even in the first ten seconds of that video like WHAT ARE YOU DOING QUEENTO?? HAVE A REACTION TO WHAT YOUR FATHER IS TELLING YOU. SPOCK REACTS TO THINGS, JUST NOT EMOTIONALLY! GAHD ( ... )

Wait, I may enjoy watching her suffer, I'm sold. But yeah, even in the other IM... I'm not going to say I didn't hate her (because even the way they wrote her was insulting, like they made her refer to accompanying one of Tony's one night stands as "taking out the trash" and that's not GOOP's fault it's the misogynistic writers', but it didn't HELP EITHER). But they manage not make make my hatred blind me to the rest of the movie, so they must be doing some movie magic shit, idek...

Yeah, but even the TOS Spock expressed emotion because his mother is human, so the issue there should be addressed as him battling himself, figuring out what/who he's meant to be and how much of each, you know, character development, not some relationship bs which ends up with him proclaiming to be emotionless while sobbing for Kirk.

You described Pine so well, omg, that is him EXACTLY. And he tries to get that smarmy thing Shatner was (lol is) doing 24/7, but he doesn't quite get there either. Like, I don't even want to punch him in the face or anything ( ... )

yeah I hate GOOP in 99% of her movies, but like idk, I don't hate her in IM!! Maybe she and RDJ have some legit chemistry, maybe she actually is sort of kind of an okay character, or maybe it's just because in IM:3 she was OFF SCREEN for most of it (I wanted to throw her in the ocean in IM:2 because she was just THERE so much) but yeah, movie magic or whatever it is, Pepper Potts isn't the worst ( ... )
