Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Having now had the misfortune to see him in interview, yes. Maybe he's an idiot savant? Because I can't work out how his characters seem to have 20 more IQ points than he cares to display, and are also less idiotic.
And, the bar is low.
Thanks, LeN! That is perfect...

Much Ado About Nothing UK trailer!!!
I have a confession: I can't get Branagh and Thompson and Denzel out of my head. I really, really can't. I'm a little worried I won't be able to get past it for this movie.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't know how I feel about Much Ado yet. I'm good with the updated look, it's just... it looks like it was filmed in Joss Whedon's backyard.
I can't get Branagh and Thompson and Denzel out of my head.
Ah yes, that version looked like a summer stock production. Which does help put the backyard wedding production in perspective.
Okay, so maybe Much Ado is the minimalist Shakespeare?

The Jackie Robinson biopic is listed on the theater marquee here as "42 D."
I guess it's a double feature?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Article speculating on additional characters in Avengers 2 based on a comment that Joss made in an IM3 red carpet interview that's also embedded in the article. [link]
(I hope that was sufficiently explanatory yet non-spoilery. Article/interview is potentially spoilery if one considers speculation based on vague comments as such.)

I don't understand this Avengers post: [link]
For a few reasons. I think they did sexualise Black Widow. I think she so clearly wasn't the central character, and if one of the male characters had done all those things, he would have been the central character too--doing the pivotal tasks to the saving of the world does not make you central to the movie--the film's emphasis was more on Tony and Steve than her. For all they cite her badassedness, that second GIF is painful to watch. That's not how you effectively use guns. Her working out how to fly the skimmer wasn't badassed--it was nonsensical. They coulda made it badassed, but they didn't.
If the poster wants to highlight ways in which the potential of the character was undercut by the writing, directing, and how they had lower standards for ScarJo's stuntwork making it to the screen (the behind the scenes stuff looks better, so I'm not blaming her for it--I just think her character's effectiveness wasn't prioritised as much as the male heroes' was).
At least I don't have the energy to reblog and put that comment on it, because it's really not the place, but..dammit! I don't want to settle for a sub par "badassed" female character. I want them to excel like the male ones. Don't drop one of the bars and call it success. Progress maybe, but not success.
