Ta-DuClau and I went to see Wreck-It Ralph (In cosplay wigs because because).
I will now take you on a journey through my viewing experience. Sort of spolier-y.

Apparently Bruce Banner won't be in IM3...
...and then Tumblr f*cking EXPLODED. (Warning for slash, ya'll)
I know that feel, girls. I know that feel.

Review: Captain America
Let’s start with the saga that was my Captain America viewing experience, and the reason this review is going up well over a week late. I saw the film with my family opening weekend, at what is undeniably one of the most shit theaters in Pittsburgh, [Name Withheld]. We went there because it was close to our house, and if you think about other things, you can ignore the smell and not think too hard about the weird sticky seats. But they managed, in the course of that one show, to have it be out of focus, mess up the sound so that every quiet scene was inaudible over the random static, and cut to black just as the credits started, so that the die-hard fans couldn’t see the obligatory Marvel movie bump. So, the next weekend, I had a double feature with my friend, Tai DuClau, and got to rewatch it.
So, Captain America. Does it come close to the cinematic masterpiece/abomination that was the 1990 film?

HP7: The Viewing Experience in Trailers
As per usual, I’ll be interpreting the theater’s thoughts about the audience via the trailers. The general impression I got this time around was “YOU! YOU ARE OLD!” Almost everything was either for kids or some sort of retro concept. Let's explore!

Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
Before I bog you down with details, let’s make this simple. If you enjoy the Harry Potter films and have seen Deathly Hallows Part 1, proceed immediately to your theater and see this movie.
Deathly Hallows Part 2 picks up exactly where the first part left off, and I mean that literally: it starts with that exact scene. It is essentially the third act to an extremely long film, and that’s not a complaint. The film covers the final third of the book, and while it adds some superfluous details, as the film adaptations of this series are wont to do, it hits all the points that the fans really demand (including my favorite character’s Crowning Moment of Badass, which caused me to squeal with delight).
Awwwww yeah |
The scenes are all extremely well done, particularly the emotional backstory of one of the film’s supposed antagonists. As per usual with this sort of film, I take issue with the over reliance on CGI over practical effects, but again, everything is fairly well done so it’s hard to be too venomous on the issue.

Wonder Woman Reboot Canceled? Quick! Get Your Jokes In!
So you may have heard that the upcoming Wonder Woman television reboot, which from the pilot scripts seemed a lot less DC Comics and a lot more Ally McBeal, was killed before it ever aired. Let’s discuss why that was hilariously predictable. Wonder Woman’s inevitable cancelation was readily apparent from the moment the following image hit the internet:
