The Avengers

    I just got back from seeing The Avengers for the first time and HOLY POOP; that was an awesome movie!! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, start to end, including the extra bits after the credits (both of them!). I'm officially adding this to the list of films I think everyone should see.
    The best part of this film for me was the fact that I never really got bored. During a lot of movies, there are breaks that cause me to lose focus, or get bored. In The Avengers, I found that I was engaged throughout the whole film. As this rarely happens with me, I was very pleased. I expected a lot from it, and it delivered. Also, The Avengers captured a balance between action, comedy, romance (?), and sadness that not all movies now-a-days get to. There was a proper amount of hilarity that didn't get annoying, and the action was believable in a way that didn't make me feel like I was watching a cartoon (which really wouldn't have bothered me too much, since the movie is about comic book heroes).
    Everyone should go watch this movie! Or, if you're okay with waiting, rent it or buy it. I for one am definitely going to buy it when it comes out on DVD. I'll add it to my collection! I do love me some super hero!
    That being said, Captain America is still my favorite.
    At the moment, I am enjoying a delicious oatmeal raisin walnut Clif Bar (I missed dinner to see the movie. Dedication!). I'm enjoying for a couple of reasons: one, it's ridiculously tasty, and two, it's milk and wheat free. Yay! Something that won't cause my sinuses to explode, something that can't be said for the mass quantities of butter that the concessions guy put on my popcorn at the theatre. But we all know it was totally worth it.
    If you've been following my vlog, you'll have noticed that I post there more than I do here. Sorry, sorry, it's just a bit easier to say what you want to talk about rather than type it all out. However, typing lets me think before I scribe, and this lets my thoughts stay relatively organized. By all means, watch both though! I don't always say the same stuff in both. In fact, I seldom do. However, this written blog will be far fuller of attempted wittiness and quips, if you're inclined to enjoy that sort of stuff more than me making funny faces and laughing at myself. Whatever you prefer.
    This will be a short post today, since it's late-ish and I've been ill. Go and see The Avengers! And eat a lot of movie theatre popcorn!
    Stay classy.
