I’ll say right off the bat I was looking for the Apu montage for this song, but I couldn’t find it anywhere:
And what do Foreigner and WonderCon have in common? Both involve someone having a fever of 103. No joke.
But I wanted to thank all the awesome people who came out this weekend before I took a break from all the things for a bit. You guys made it all worthwhile.
Our quote of the week comes from Jon Hamm:
“There is no world in which I’m winning Best Shirtless anything,” he said. “I’m not a vampire, and I’m not a zombie and I’m not Kristen Stewart or Jennifer Lawrence. I’m not those four things, so I won’t be winning Best Kiss. If there was a category called Best Guy Who Kind of Reminds You of Your Dad. I would maybe win that one.”
It’s been another light reading/too much working week for me. And, no, it wasn’t just watching Captain America over and over (I’ve only seen it twice) it’s been just work. Work work work, it’s all I ever do (That’s a favourite expression of my dad’s, of whom Jon Hamm does not remind me… But I digress.)
Let’s see… what’s happened this week:
Wanna talk to Robert Downey Jr? He wants to hear from you.
He’s also the subject of the best game from this past week
Here’s some insight into Teen Titans (and why I totally don’t understand them)
A fun project you can fund for the next 12 days – She Got Game
There’s a new book out called Mom in the Movies, to which… I dunno what to say
This review had the best pull line I’d ever read: Draft Day Is Like the NFL’sMoneyball Except It’s Cruel to Nerds and Is Terrible
Aaaand, that’s it. I promise at least a WonderCon update this week. As for anything else…
Has anyone else just had the worst week?
Well, it would have been the worst week, except I got to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So it was the best worst week.
Did you know Cap has his own froyo? So many flavours. Including Cheesecake! I wouldn’t think he’d be into that, considering how long he was on ice. Insensitive? Anyway…
My only Cap-related complaint is that’s it’s really hard to find non-3D screenings. That’s the definition of first world problems right there. Like I said, anyway…
If you read the header of this post, you know what I’ve been reading this week. And you don’t need me to tell you how good this movie is. I’m sure there are lots of reviews you can read. But, if you’re looking for your Avengers news fix, you are in the right place:
An interview iffy in quality from The Guardian
THR had SO MANY THINGS
A WARNING: this link is a bit misleading… Someone cut together scenes from different movies and used the word naked in the title… But, really, he’s wearing pants. Mostly.
(And go see Snowpiercer as soon as you have a chance)
As for the other Avengers…
And…
