I don’t think there are any real spoilers.

1. The bad guy (Loki) has really great skin.

2. Iron Man has the best superhero soundtrack.

3. If you’re going to be walking down a street when aliens attack the planet, it would be very handy to be wearing pants rather than a skirt….just a little Public Service Announcement.

4. The Hulk is badass.

5. I enjoyed seeing Robin from How I Met Your Mother in something else. She pulled it off.

6. I’m fascinated by what facial hair does for Thor. He might want to throw out all his razors.

7. Extra fun from the previews: Is this summer’s Spiderman a gymnast or do they have the most amazing CGI people ever?

Ps. Oh, yea,…. and the movie rocked.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I figured out why the PCD are in their 20’s and not mid-30’s and it isn’t for the reasons you might think. The dance moves are harsh. You move your knees and hips and back in all different directions really quickly and by George, there were times, I nearly popped things out of place! Don’t get me wrong, I sweated and got a good workout, but was glad I rented the video because I wouldn’t do it a second time. Not great risk (breaking my spine) versus reward (decent workout). I believe I’ll just do some yoga…..and in case you were wondering, I don’t recommend these moves for a club. They look fairly stupid unless you’ve got 4 other people around you doing the exact same moves.

irony for the day: while blogging this, I managed to bang the snot out of my knee on my desk. I think not doing the video again is the right call.

updated to add: um, my friend, G fell out of a yoga pose recently and severely bruised her shnoz! Poor thing looks like someone took a bat to her. Be safe out there, people!!! :-)

If you haven’t seen the movie, please stop reading unless you are fine with spoilers, in which case, carry on.

This was a pretty good movie, but I don’t think it hurts to go into it with low expectations. I was thinking there would be some running and chasing and probably some shooting and some running and a little more chasing. It had all that and oh so much more:

• A little bit of Ryan Reynolds with his shirt off to prove that his Green Lantern trainer is still employed.
• A lesson for the ladies – If you hear gunfire, don’t just stand in the middle of the living room. That is how you get dead.
• The best movie line I’ve heard in awhile – regarding Denzel, “You’re like a black Dorian Gray.” – He totally is!
• Suspension of reality – RR gets stabbed in the stomach and then several minutes later, muscles up the power to strangle a healthy man to death
• Poor portrayal of tactical teams – Random heavily armed guys break into one of your safe houses and you do a crazy poor job of defending it. You don’t even bother to put on any protective gear. In fact, you sport a bright flannel shirt. good plan.

I recommend this movie for pure entertainment value. I’m already looking forward to renting it because I feel like this list should be quite a bit longer.
