Everyone should see the Avengers with at least ten fangirls. So. Much. Fun.
Oh. By the way, caught the midnight showing opening night last night. Now that you're caught up--
--So. Much. Fun. The movie is cotton candy and unicorns and everything you could possibly want. We stood outside chatting about our favorite moments afterward.
Oh. By the way, I went with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
settiai, holli, neotoma, kaydeefalls, tassosss, and ... I think that's everyone, but I never quite got the right name connected to the right person. (Next time I'm bringing name tags and patting people on the back, surreptitiously sticking on labels. Though they'll probably wonder why I keep walking behind them to talk. "So..." *walk, walk* "...Holli..." *walk, walk* "What do you think of Thor's relationship with Loki?") Now that you're caught up--
--We stood outside chatting about our favorite moments afterward: it's that kind of movie. We needed a Denny's.
Oh. By the way, I'm kind of kidding about the labels.settiai has an aura of calm competence that has me picking her to organize the next--well, something, whatever needs organizing-- holli has the energy and enthusiasm of a basketful of kittens and should be invited to all parties, everywhere. I mean, at the end of the movie when she stood up told everyone walking out, "DON'T LEAVE! THERE'S ANOTHER SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS!" well, that's just one reason you should go see the Avengers with dedicated fangirls, but it's one of the best reasons! (A group of guys behind us thanked her afterward.) tassosss is that interesting conversationalist you end up talking to about Deeper-Things-Than-This-Party and if she hasn't written for the OTW journal yet, she really should. neotama is the reincarnation of Lauren Bacall, and I don't care if Lauren Bacall isn't dead yet. (Is she?) And kaydeefalls is as cute as a button, will bite me for saying so (ha, ha, you don't know where I live!) and I'm soooo pumping her brain for recs next chance I get. There was a moment during the credits where I glanced over at our beaming, happy-eyed group, and just laughed. I may have made squeaky kitten noises. Now that you're caught up--
--We needed a Denny's. The movie could have been terrible and it would have been a blast.
But Avengers is goooood.
( I did not go in with high expectations. (Cut for length, but this a review with no real spoilers beyond what you'd see in any other review.) )
What an achievement. Especially for a lightweight Ensemble Hero Action film that had you laughing through most of it.
Two thumbs up. One for the fangirls, and one for the film.
