1. Well, I made need to find a moment sometime within the next two weekends to see Whedon's Avengers...haven't seen any reviews outside of my flist, which loves it of course. But they also loved Cabin in the Woods...and we all know how well that went down. Also it should be noted that since I rarely see movies in the movie theater - and prefer them on netflix, because movie theaters are a) expensive, b) annoying, I tend to be rather picky. And...there's two types of superhero movies...the popcorn brand - a la Avengers, and the noir pulp literary brand a la Batman.

Keep in mind? I fell in love with Frank Miller and Timothy Sale's Batman. I find Marvel's Avengers comics sort of silly. Always did. I'm a noir girl. Although I will watch Robert Downey Jr do just about anything and he is a marvel as Tony Stark, plus I'm a huge fan of Samuel L Jackson.

Yes, I realize what I said above contradicts my last five posts. I don't pretend to be consistent in my pop culture tastes, just wonky.
