It’s nice to see longer jokes; instead of just being nothing but one-liners this movie has a number of jokes that have a set up, build up, then payoff. There are many scenes that set several jokes in motion at once.
A Thousand Words (2012)
I wonder how many words Eddie Murphy actually spoke during the movie.
Green Lantern (2011)
So this is the movie that made Deadpool go back in time and kill himself…
It doesn’t feel like enough stuff happened for this to be two hours long.
Do they wear the rings on the wrong finger in the comics as well?
Deadpool 2 (2018)
Ahh yes, the continuing adventures of Mr. Pool & friends.
I wonder if the hero getting incarcerated in the second installment is going to be a thing from now on, or if this is a one-time deal. First Paddington in Paddington 2, and now Deadpool in Deadpool 2; I’m okay with it happening to Deadpool, though.
The Avengers (2012)
I really jumped the gun on this one; but I wanted more Iron Man. Oh well; I guess my trend of watching things out of order will just have to continue.
Speaking of out-of-order; I saw Rockapella live at Silver Dollar City 14 times this year, and their show began with an intro video which used the Avengers theme by Alan Silvestri as its background music. So I’m kind of stuck with it, it’s the Rockapella theme song now.
Iron Man 3 (2013)
It’s called Iron Man 3; but it really should be called Marvel Movie #47 or whatever number it would be. I can mostly follow along; but it feels like I’m missing too much from other movies I haven’t watched yet.
Iron Man 2 (2010)
I’m game for a whole movie of nothing but Tony Stark’s self-destructive descent into madness.
Rhodes should not be able to fly the Iron Man suit so well.
So far the only real threat to Iron Man is another Iron Man, I guess I’ll soon see whether IM3 does things differently. I’m sure Avengers does.
Really, Tony Stark is his own worst enemy.
Iron Man (2008)
I think that counts as rule-of-three for the long-winded name for S.H.I.E.L.D.
When Pepper is watching the terrorists’ video on the computer and the translation is activated, I like to think that they actually only said “Tony Stark” and the translation software had been programmed to insert “the great” before his name every time it appears. That just sounds like a Tony Stark thing to do.
It’s kind of weird…I still primarily think of Jeff Bridges as the guy from TRON, so I basically never recognize him no matter what he appears in. I another comment related to this; but I’ll save it until the TRON sequel.
Bartok the Magnificent (1999)
A very unusual spinoff. Is this canon? It functions well enough stand-alone; but things start to get very weird in my head when I put it beside Anastasia. Anastasia did have some magic in it; but it still feels significantly more grounded in reality than BtM.
Maybe this entire film takes place in Bartok’s imagination. He could have dreamed the whole thing up during the 10 year time gap in the first movie.
Anastasia (1997)
This doesn’t feel effed up enough to be a Don Bluth movie; but then again, I’m used to the 80s stuff that made kids crap themselves.
Another Christopher Lloyd villain role is always nice.
