Shawarma

Last night I saw The Avengers movie for the second time.  Accompanying me was Robert and Jenessa and it was a grand adventure.  First off, Tuesdays at the cinema are discounted!  Totaling only $6.00 at any time of the day, Tuesdays can't be beat.  The movie theater is also just down the street from Del Taco which also has discount tacos on Tuesdays.  If there is any other day of the week that is better than Tuesday, please let me know.  Anyway.. I was here to talk Avengers.  I think it might have been all the candy we ate and dinking around that happened that made this movie so hilarious.

In the very beginning, Black Widow is fighting guys while she is tied to a chair and flips her head back to knock out the guy behind her but she wasn't nearly close enough and only her hair hits him and yet he gets knocked out.  That must have been one wicked hair flip.  Watch this video, and keep your eyes peeled at about 28 seconds in.  


Did you see it? Silly, huh?  It even has it's own sound effect.   I wish my hair possessed butt kicking qualities.  

Continuing on, the other thing we noticed was how unbelievably cheesy Thor was in this movie.  He's a giant God from Asgard, you would think that he'd be super hard core.. but nope.  His scraggly hair, however, distracts you from ..

...I told you.  Enough of that.  The only thing cool about 2012 Thor is his mjolnir.  (Thanks to Robert, I now know what that is.)  I am also wondering what happened to Thor's sweet, sweet helmet?  Where is that lightening-bolt, wingéd cap?  Maybe if he had it, hiding his rat nest, he might be a little more tolerable.  OH.  Also, to those of you who have seen this movie, can you answer me this:  How does Thor even get to Earth?  Super confused on that.  Let that befuddle your mind, but if you have any idea of how he came to be, let me know. 

Moving on.  The next thing I want to touch on is HOW INCREDIBLY AWESOME HAWKEYE'S BOW AND QUIVER ARE.  As a future archer, I was oggling over how insane he is.  Bom bom bom!  I want to be this cool when I grow up.  He even shoots arrows that turn into weird USB ports (Jenessa and Robert.. you know what I'm talking about) and grappling hooks!  His quiver, automatically sets the arrow and rotates it so he can grab them with easy access.  All around, I'm a fan of Hawkeye.  Even if he has angst at the beginning of the movie.  


Lastly, my favourite character of the whole movie- Loki: God of Mischief.  Tom Hiddleston is such a slink and he's perfect. 



I read or heard somewhere that he originally auditioned for the part of Thor but they thought he'd be much better for the role of Loki.  Oh man, I can't even imagine if Tom Hiddleston played Thor.  I'm super happy he didn't, because The Avengers wouldn't have been nearly as perfect as it is with him as the villain.  The dapper young fellow.  Just from looking at those pictures,  I know you want to go style your hair in a mullet-like fashion to match the likeness of Loki.  Who wouldn't? 



 Well, in a really roundabout way of saying, if you have not seen The Avengers yet, you should go see it, just for T-Hiddles.  I do what I want, Thor!

Jenessa and I are going to somehow dress up as Loki and Hawkeye and terrorize the mall. If you want in, claim your Avenger and assemble.  

So long and thanks for all the fish!
