I also remember reading some Avengers comics a little while back where they talked about the "Captain America affect". There's just something about the man that makes you want to be better. Chris Evans as Captain America is cheesy, but he really does do that. He makes me want to be a better person, even if his example is unrealistic. There is a power to that that can't be realized with the hilarious but cynical worldview of Iron Man. There's just something magical about Cap. Something that can't truly be deconstructed no matter how hard Alan Moore or Mark Millar tries. Something that's rooted deep inside every human being. I suppose it's that most basic instinct of altruism. That's Cap.

That scene in Age of Ultron when he's chopping wood at three times the speed of Tony Stark with half as much effort, he's like, the 80's Hulk Hogan of Marvel.

If you haven't already seen Hardcore Henry, then forget all that pansy **** and watch that. And if it's not on the internet yet, then get off your beaner ass and go see it.

Believe me son, I've seen it. It's the best action movie ever made.

I might be willing to say that, but I'd have to rewatch The Raid and Crank 2 before I gave it that honor.

Dogtooth is one of the most unique and messed up movies I've ever seen. Requiem is one of the most depressing. Incredible cinematography and acting though. Ellen Burstyn was robbed of the best supporting actress award that year.

I'd love to hear what you think of these two. I need to watch them as well and can't wait.
