We saw Avengers: Endgame last night
Apr. 29th, 2019 08:39 amWOW. Such a great wrap-up to the current series.
While the theater wasn't packed, it was fairly full. We saw the second-to-last showing Sunday night - they ran three out of ten theaters through Saturday, then dropped one for Sunday, so LOTS of locals had an opportunity - I have no idea how many did. Sadly, the local theater needs brighter projection, and should have had the sound turned up a notch or two.
I can confirm the RunPee/HuffPo bathroom times were good and the "Hulk's Lunch" "New Jersey sign" are quite obvious - you're not going to miss them, though we were there from the start through the end of the credits. I strongly cut down my normal water intake for about 4 hours before the movie, and that comfortably saw me through.
Lest you think me a cinema misanthrope, I do enjoy sophisticated movies. Two of the best movies that I saw in the last couple of years were Phantom Thread, Run Lola Run, and Wings of Desire. But Life kinda sucks overall and I really enjoy certain types of comedies and adventure movies and used to buy comics for a couple of decades, so I really enjoy these films.
Everybody gets their own kind of brain candy and secret vices to enjoy IMO, mostly as long you don't wake the neighbors or frighten the horses.
It's kinda funny - on the way down the mountain to the movie, we discussed plot elements to the new fic that Russet's working on, crossing over Midsomer Murders and Rivers of London. On the way home, it was discussing the movie all the way!
Spoilery stuff under the cut.
