    He was very good, but I did not see all this in his future back when he was on The 4400.

    I was entranced by him back on The 4400, he was so head and shoulders above everyone else to me... but Hollywood is a weird place, so you never know when someone is going to be in the right place at the right time, and with the right availability.  I am utterly thrilled by this!

  2. Here is Chris with the dog:

    And the is Chris basically struggling to find a way to answer the question he asked the Russos:

    Gross.

    If you think of Endgame as a movie about Thor (as I do to preserve my sanity) then it's just a lovely film. ; )

    Oh, I wish I could... and Thor's character fared the best out of all of them, but I just can't get past how he was treated by his 'friends and family'.  🙁

    Thanks. I find it hard to watch anything with Chris Evans because I think he has social anxiety. I can very much relate to that which translates to me not being able to watch it.

    I have a hard time too!! In Seattle, he actually jumped off the stage to pet a dog, practically burying his face in it's fur, during the Q&A.

    If anyone hears anything  post it here for me pretty please?

    Also, just fyi... my reference to Chris' question (they played a video of him asking the question) about Steve after the dance was from the SDCC panel yesterday.  And I think his comment about 'no stone unturned' was from the ACE comic con in Seattle, where he struggled mightily during the fan Q&A, but didn't really say much.

    I still do wonder if they really just thought that was an ending everyone would just accept or if they've got something up their sleeve.

    Honestly, with how ineptly this has all been handled... even if they do eventually do something that 'fixes' it, I still think they just... didn't think beyond the surface idea of Steve and Peggy living 'happily ever after'.  The ramifications just didn't occur to them.  Chris has kinda implied that there's more to it (by his 'they don't leave any stone unturned comment'), but I still think they're just winging it.

    That's fucking dark. Um, yeah. Thanks for sparing us that grisly shit and not fucking decapitating any version of Captain America, guys.

    AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!  I think they just wanted to remind us that it could have been oh so much worse.  But honestly, after the FFH end credit scene, I am absolutely convinced that Old!Steve was a Skrull now.  And after Chris Evans' question about 'what did Steve do after his dance with Peggy', I'm convinced that Chris chooses to believe Steve is still out there doing 'something' that Bucky knows about, but just can't help him with right now, but that Steve has every intention to come back and not as an old dude on a bench.  

    I've also come to the conclusion that Captain America: The Winter Soldier was a beautiful and extraordinary movie, and also a complete fluke.

    Yeah, trust Tony to go overboard and creating problems down the line out of the best intentions.

    Or out of fear. Fear has basically been his driving force from the beginning. It doesn't allow you to make good decisions, it just creates drama others have to pay the consequences for and try to fix. Tony is literally the poster child for this.

    But his anger towards his parents and Luke really seems fear base.

    Yeah, after re-watching TFA and TLJ, it felt very much like Ben being manipulated from a very young age and being seduced into a cult (back in the 1980's, stories about reclaiming kids from cults was a big thing). That doesn't mitigate the horrors that he committed, but I think it does shed light on the mechanism of his motivation and does open the door for him to have an epiphany that what he worshiped and believed were carefully constructed lies.

    The one that says:

      Reveal spoiler

    At the beginning of FFH there's an "in memoriam" to Tony, Natasha, and Steve. After the way they assassinated Steve's character in Endgame if they have him die offscreen of old age immediately I am done.

    You know, this makes the correlation to that Twilight Zone ep (The Miniature) almost exact now... Steve did put himself in a fake playhouse with his imaginary lady to commit suicide.

    Is Chris Evans playing Don Johnson's son? Because holy crap that's spot on casting.

    Don Johnson's character has a different last name, so it seems like he might have married into the family?  Or be a family friend?  While CE's character has the same last name as his grandfather.  

    Chris Evans - Ransom Thrombrey

    Don Johnson - Morris Robinson  

    Here are the 'influences' there were listed for the film **rubs hand together with gleeeee!!**:

    Quote

    Johnson cited several classic mystery thrillers as influences on the film, including Evil Under the Sun, Murder by Death, Death on the Nile, The Last of Sheila, Deathtrap, Clue, Gosford Park, The Mirror Crack'd, Something's Afoot, Murder on the Orient Express and The Private Eyes.

  12. Toy Story 4 Remains #1 at the Box Office, Avengers Can’t Catch Avatar
     

    Quote

    Avengers: Endgame brought in $7.5 million globally, pushing it within $27 million of Avatar’s global box office total, a feat it will unlikely be able to cross now without even more help.


    And the thing is... there's obviously no way to prove it, but I sincerely believe that if they hadn't fucked over Steve's character, and if they hadn't so overtly catered to the 'toxic masculinity' crowd with the underlying storytelling, and if the 'woke' moments had been more than just superficial fan service, this movie could have shattered that record without breaking a sweat.

    If one spoiler in particular that I read concerning FFH is true, I am done with the MCU. I mean I'm already mostly out the door after the imho travesty that was Endgame but that will seal it for me.

    Now you have me curious...  Which part?

    There are a LOT of possibilities already on the table.

    And MCU!Bucky is a combination of a canon queer character from the comics & comics Bucky (and played by an actor who has played out queer characters in the past), so yeah... there are a lot of possibilities.  

  15. I think his voice over in the trailer had basically teased this already, but I still like the idea of maybe being able to explore the mechanics of how the force ghosts work and how that might relate to Palpatine too. Also seems like a good way to bring everything full circle.

    Or, to put it differently, there is a difference between a parent saying "you need to diet because you are ugly" and a parent saying "you really need to eat more salat, it's good for your health".

    There's definitely a difference, but both can be extremely harmful in different ways.  But I suspect this is getting into 'agree to disagree' territory, so I will agree to disagree.

    Thor had the best character arc of all the original avengers. 

    I would definitely agree with that, and CH's acting was stellar.  It's also still extremely ableist to me. I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive.

    The "eat more salat" line is for me more funny because it is such a motherly thing to say. It's not mean, it is expressing worry for his health.

    I considered that to be the least mean of them all because of this very reason.

    Yes, sometimes people do harm to people they love without intentionally or knowingly doing harm.  It's still harmful, maybe even especially when it's done out of love.

    See to me, that comment was said in a loving/teasing manner, after a thoughtful conversation where she talks to him about being who he is, how to accept himself especially when things go wrong and that she loves him.  

    Yeah, absolutely.... it was a gorgeous scene, and beautifully acted.  Right up until that line.
