I'll take 'words beginning with F' for $100, Alex...
That one particular punch did it for me. I was never a big fan either but he was hilarious and Mark Ruffalo gave a tense performance that was much different from what I’d seen on the ‘80s TV show.
Yeah, you’re right. Sighing with melancholy everytime I see The Avengers headline. But we will always have VHS.
“I am the Shoveler. And I shovel well.”
I'm woefully out of it at the moment. I clicked on the thread thinking "Avengers" was a remake of the series with Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg (or Honor Blackman).
Sigh. Now I need to hit Amazon and see what DVD sets of the "real" Avengers are available.
Same here...not sure I remember what that line was...clue me in.
Also was kind of surprised when the audience gave the film an ovation at the end...haven't seen that since the original Star Wars.
“Puny god”
LOL!
The combination action/humor was great.
A friend loaned me a box set of DVD’s from several seasons of the new Battlestar Galactica (I loved the original series) and I thought they were great at first, but after a couple of disks I felt like I was being strung along at a snails pace just to keep me watching. I didn’t even finish them.
I’ve watched my Firefly series several times. The characters are awesome and the action/humor is top notch. One of my favorite lines: “Why are you arguin’ what’s already been decided?”
And this little exchange had us in stitches:
Kaylee: Goin’ on a year now I ain’t had nothin’ twixt my nethers weren’t run on batteries!
Malcolm: Oh, God! I can’t *know* that!
Jayne: I could stand to hear a little more.
Same with me. I thought the the Battlestar Galactica mini-series pilot was great and showed much promise, but they just felt compelled to stretch things out, till I lost interest. It's on cable on BBC, and I'd been having my DVR record it, but I can't really get into it at all.
Firefly, OTOH, was just great. I loved the series. Some were unhappy that the show got cancelled, but it may have been a mercy to end it, and give it a finale with the Serenity movie, than to just allow it to plod after they had milked all they really had to say out of it.
Clooney’s dinner was organized by Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CEO of DreamWorks Animation, and included such celebrity guests as Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire and Barbra Streisand. The event was initially to be a spring gala hosted by Katzenberg at his house. But Katzenberg’s home is under renovation, so Clooney offered to host instead.
A matinee costs only six dollars at AMC theaters here in nyc. Not a big financial hit.
