i saw avengers 2.

not so great, honestly. a bunch of nitpicks and the obsessive need to pack each action sequence with one liners bordered on concerning. also you could feel how loving clever the director thought he was being at times, to the point it was kind of unsettling.

The quip level in Avengers 2 was reaching dangerous levels

the worst of it was when quicksilver gets shot like fifty times with an automatic cannon and manages to get a quip out as his last words

ironically i had already been spoiled on it because i follow the business side pretty closely - contracts, actor deals etc

i had paid 0 attention to anything so it was all a surprise to me. didn't make it better, honestly.

also they cast an olsen who couldn't act. i later learned she'd taken interpretive dance to prepare for the role and said yep, sounds about right.

like "middleaged lesbian" conjours a certian image, you know? a lady who's been with someone who should be her wife for a decade but unfortunately needed to be called a "life partner" for a frankly disgusting length of time. a subscription to the guardian and lib dem membership. an opinion on local theater and an electric car. it's an entire package, you know?

how do minority governments work in the UK? do they have to be coalition governments or is it like canada where the minority with the plurality gets the government til no confidence

in theory i think it's like canada, in practice i'm not sure. they passed the fixed term parliament act to enforce the current hosed government so no one is quite sure how it actually plays out. yaaaay, not having a constitution
