I aten't dead....yet.

Wotcha!

I am alive just super duper busy with RL and work *rolls eyes* The very few fannish things I am working on *sobs* are:
1). Hawaii_50_hc ficlet for alphabet challenge. SO far over the 500k mark *laughs at self*.
2) Back in Time vid... I had no idea just how many time travel related tv shows and movies there are... a comprehensive vid may not be possible
3) Flitting onto LJ at 10pm, quickly scanning the flist, and then going to bed.

My fannish life is sad. I miss you!

Yeah, the first one was kind of like, "oh crap, we've made 4/5th of a kind of serious movie, time to fit in fifteen minutes of giant metal men beating the crud out of each other." felt kind of tacked on. But it didn't really change the narrative that much, you could pretty much cut to the final bit and still have it work. So I was really pretty impressed with it. I hadn't seen any of the trailers, so the whole thing took me by surprise. I liked how grounded it was, how seriously it took emotional consequences, without being gritty/grim dark. I think its still my favorite of the movies.

Oy aye... I recall us having this conversation ;-) Those pleasant surprises are just that... awesome :)

I think for me, it needed another 15 minutes of resolution and Tony dealing with the consequences of being Iron Man with a cliffhangery end of Shield like connotations... maybe :)

Well, minus the SHIELD stuff, then I think the new movie might be for you. One of the reasons I said it was a gift to fandom is that it tackles head on the emotional consequences for Tony of what he's been doing. (and...um...other things. Seriously, fandom is going to have a ball with this movie.)

YAY!!

It starts on May 1st here... which is SOON! YAY :D

I had mixed feelings when I saw the trailer so now I can elevate my anticipation to 'Cool'
