ASSEMBLE.

[last time I posted here, it was the Avengers trailer. Two months ago. Somehow this feels eerily appropriate now.]

The Avengers opened here a week ago, thanks to it being the 4-day Labor Day holiday [say that 3 times fast], so it turns out I've watched it 4 times already. The excuse was so I could watch it in 2D, regular 3D, IMAX 3D and stuff, but

I'm just going to throw this in here (and weep that several Avengers are missing from this photo but aaaaaahhhh it's all I have on hand right now):

RIDONCULOUS PICTURES ARE MY FAAAAVORITES.

[ayrdaomei]

while we're at it, can we talk about the various combinations and pairings and little things here and there that this movie had? Because it was FANTASTIC. Something for everyone!

That was probably my favorite thing about the movie!

Well, first, Renner's arms, and second, the abundance of chemistry within the fabulous five.

(I am still hearts for eyes over Tony and Bruce being science buddies. SCIENCE! ]o/)

Yes! I didn't see that coming (why didn't I?) but I loved that they could talk nerdy to each other.

[dtissagirl]

Well, first, Renner's arms

In the immortal words of Buffy Summers? He's- have you seen his arms? Those are good arms to have.

*ASSEMBLED*

I don't have much to add yet but HI and I wanted in on the squeeing.

[dtissagirl]

I still can't get over how *actually good* this movie was. I went in expecting popcorn mindless fun, and it turned out to be SO MUCH MORE, I can't even.

Also, who can we bug so we can get a When Clint Met Natasha movie made ASAP?

[selfcontained]

(I CLEARLY NEED CHLOE/OLLIE ICONS.)

You know, I actually have been hearing rumors of a BW prequel!

[dtissagirl]

[I never made S10 Chloe/Ollie icons, but everything else? YES. *g*]

I read interviews with both ScarJo and RDJ that they said they wanted a Black Widow movie, maaaan, I want that so hard I wanna cry.

[lauresque]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FANDOM ASSEMBLE!

:D

[dtissagirl]

Yesterday I learned that there was the second extra after-credits scene on the USA copies of the movie... that I didn't get here. But I just found cellphone-filmed clips of video on YouTube, so I just got 20 seconds of BRAND NEW MOVIE and I have OMZ MOVIE HIGH AGAIN. And basically, all is forgiven for them not giving me that scene last week in the first place. :DDD

[lauresque]

LOL OMG I LOVE THAT SCENE.

In other news, I'm going out the door to see it again now. I blame this post.

[dtissagirl]

MY WORK HERE IS DONE, I REGRET NOTHING, [INSERT ALL INTERNET CLICHÉS HERE.]

[I'm... trying to figure out if I can catch a morning viewing tomorrow. Hee.]

[unhappyending]

GIVE ME ALL THE NATASHA/CLINT YOU HAVE.

I haven't been this giddy over a fandom in a LONG time and it's only fitting that it's a Joss-born one. \o/

This is one of my favourite Tumblr gif spams so far, because it makes me all melt-y and happy that they are a TEAM!

[dtissagirl]

I found a lot of Clint/Natasha on AO3, but I haven't made much of a dent on it yet. I'm slowly collecting my faves on Delicious. I'm hoping now that the movie is out pretty much everywhere, the number of fics will grow exponentially, because HOLY SMOKES THEIR CHEMISTRY.

Also, clintnatasha.tumblr.com is EXTREMELY PRETTY OMZ.

[unhappyending]

Thank you for all of those things. Now I have fanfic to read instead of doing my school work! It's just like I'm in high school again!

[dtissagirl]

...I never left that high school phase. :DDD

[evergleam83]

AHHHHHHHHHHH. Just got home from viewing number two and I AM EVEN MORE ALL ABOUT THE NATASHA/CLINT. Today my favorite thing is how he never calls her by her full name, it's always Nat or Tasha or something and OMG ADORBS.

I still have a zillion tabs open, and I haven't even peeked at tumblr yet this weekend. FANDOM YAYNESS!!

Also, can someone tell me who Alexis Denisof was? He's listed as The Other. Was he the guy at the end? Or one of the creepy dudes Loki kept talking to? I missed him entirely. Both times.

[dtissagirl]

EVERY TIME HE SAYS HIS NAME IT'S LIKE EVERY SINGLE EMOTION HE FEELS FOR HER ARE RIGHT THERE IN THE ADORABS NICKNAME DU JOUR.

Yes, I needed all caps for that.

And "The Other" is the alien dude that talks to Loki in his head. Since his voice is distorted, I tried to recognize Alexis Denisof by his mannerisms, but I got nothing. I'm believing it's him because it's in the credits, and Alyson Hanningan confirmed on Twitter that he is in the movie.

[evergleam83]

BELIEVE ME I UNDERSTAND THE ALL CAPS. Seriously. THAT SCENE. I might need a bootleg of the movie just so I can watch THAT SCENE a gazillion and four times. I can't get over how well this movie managed to hit all the right emotional beats for all the characters in addition to all the big hero shot moments. Also I cannot WAIT for the angsty multi-chapter Natasha/Clint backstory fic to surface. I don't see how they DON'T make a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie next. How could they dangle that in front of us and not make good!!

That's kind of hilarious that Joss squeezed Alexis in there and then made him completely unrecognizeable. At least Enver Gjokaj got a couple of lines off while, you know, looking like himself.

[dtissagirl]

Hah, I totally got myself a crappy cam version because I wanted a couple of specific caps, except the copy SUCKS HARD FOR CAPPING, but I *know* I'm keeping it just so I can rewatch all the Natasha/Clint stuff over and over again. And yeah, the amount of monies the movie made, and how much talk there is about Black Widow and Hawkeye right now, and really, THANKS JRENNER AND SCARJO FOR BEING ALL ADORABS AND FLIRTY HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE that mainstream media is eating them up like canapés... someone write that script ASAP, please.

I have a theory that since Loki is all Shakespeare-character like anyway, Joss wanted a Shakespeare trained actor for the alien dude... and well, he had a friend actor who fit the bill. :)
