  1. @Dandesun I want to give your post a million likes.
  2. Keep that gronk (& edelman) off injured reserved for the whole year @ElDosEquis, I fixed that for you. Otherwise thumbs up (especially the parts about Manning - Peyton & Eli both)
  3. Plus that fight in the elevator is really fantastic. I love that Cap's fights are like acrobatic ballet. It seemed like Cap is always holding back a bit in fights but then when you see him lift Bucky up with one hand, you realize just how damn strong he is. I hear you. I have a "to read" list a mile long. Maybe we should start a support group.
  4. Sorry, no recipe. That's something my mother always bought from an Italian bakery.
  5. I was wondering that myself. I'm in if we're doing weekly picks.
  6. My classic birthday cake is an Italian rum cake with two layers of pastry cream, one vanilla and one chocolate, with toasted sliced almonds coating the sides.
  7. I wish they'd put out an extended edition or a director's cut of Cap3 (and Cap2). Has Marvel/Disney done that for any of the movies in the MCU?
  8. Captain America Civil War GAG REEL - Itunes
  9. I guess this fits in here. What Thor Was Doing During Captain America: Civil War (Comic-Con 2016) Thor Ragnarok HD
  10. Problem is, Sam's a fugitive now too. I'd say Steve was choosing himself over the shield, the good man not the perfect soldier. That being said, I have a feeling that Steve will be picking the Shield back up when Infinity War rolls around.
  11. I'd love to see Evans, Stan, & Mackie do a buddy movie or maybe a one-shot road trip type reality show. They seem to have so much fun together.
  12. I agree, @Dandesun. There's just something about it that makes it really adorkable. They're so in sync going under. Plus Evans looks about twelve; I think it's his hair.
  13. Can anyone explain to lapsed catholic/atheist me what Derrick Dullard is saying here? Because I read this tweet and it makes zero sense to me.
  14. And the one that did have a good job quit it to play missionary in Danger America.
  15. For people with no visible means of support they sure do travel a lot.
  16. Since I don't have kids, I'm curious. Does a 1 year old really need to go to a dentist? Is that what's recommended? If it is, it's probably one of the only times we'll see a Duggar doing something that's medically recommended.
  17. Another from Chris Evans who filmed a video to fulfill the request for #lilleyswish, a Twitter campaign for him to contact a fan who is battling a rare for more cancer. https://vimeo.com/178427816/53f6e144bc
  18. In Cap2, Bucky wasn't able to break free of the brainwashing on his own. It was seeing Steve that made it happen. Bucky had known Steve practically his whole life. Per the Smithsonian exhibit. "Best friends since childhood, Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers were inseparable on both schoolyard and battlefield." So yeah, Steve's presence on the street when he first encounters the Winter Soldier is enough to put a small crack in the brainwashing as evidenced in the scene in the vault. Bucky asks who the man the bridge was. He says twice "I knew him." Then he's wiped. On the helicarrier in that final fight, it takes Steve saying "I'm with you 'til the end of the line." Saying to Bucky the words Bucky had said to him after his mother's funeral for a glimmer of recognition to occur. There's about two years between Bucky being rescued by Steve in Azzano and when he falls from the train. But we have no idea how well Bucky and Howard knew each other. They obviously did but how close could they have been seeing as Steve and the Howling Commandos were running missions during that time. That relationship would not have had the same emotional depth as the one he had with Steve to break through the brainwashing. In the end Tony was still trying to murder someone he knew had been tortured and brainwashed for decades. If Tony was thinking rationally enough to think that Bucky was at fault because he didn't break through the brainwashing sooner, then well that's even worse to me.
  19. That does not look like a proper side-hug to me.
  20. That's why I don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. I've gotten two of those "IRS" calls. The second one was a bit after midnight. As if the IRS would call at that time. The messages they left were quite fun to listen to.
  21. Legally, yes. Morally, no. IMHO And yeah, the whole billionaire aspect would probably ensure he'd never have been charged if he had succeeded. But if T'Challa, whose grief is still so fresh, could decide NOT kill Zemo, Tony should've been able to get enough control over himself after his initial violent outburst to stop trying to kill Bucky, a man he knew had tortured/brainwashed for YEARS and had been used as a weapon. Tony could still be pissed at Steve and feel betrayed by Steve but it's still not an excuse for cold-blooded murder. The only person in that last fight trying to kill anyone was Tony, he was the aggressor.
  22. Again my question is when could he have told Tony? At the airport? Where Tony was intent on arresting him even after Steve tried to explain about Zemo and the other super-soldiers? Tony wasn't listening and telling him about his parents would've made a bad situation even worse. Plus then there's be no one going after Zemo. As for Zemo's plan, well that's another example of piss-poor writing. His plan was so convoluted and so damn complex, it was ridiculous. He could've had the same results simply by releasing the video on the internet. But then there wouldn't have been a movie. So we'll just have to agree to disagree that there was a time where Steve could've told Tony during the film. It's still not an excuse for murdering an innocent man. Again I understand his initial reaction of violence. It was the prolonged nature of it that was beyond the pale. He was aware enough of his actions to keep telling Steve to stand down. He was prepared to kill Steve to get to Bucky. If Tony knew Steve at all, he'd have known that Steve was not only protecting Bucky but he was also trying to protect Tony from himself, protect him from doing something Tony would (hopefully) later regret. So no Tony doesn't get a pass on that from me.
