After a second viewing of The Avengers I came to a conclusion, much as I adore Tony Stark and love Iron Man my movie crush is definitely on Bruce Banner in this one. Also I prefer Mark's take on the character to Edward's, something I wouldn't have thought possible because man do I love me some Edward Norton. Still there's something so much more vulnerable and broken about the Bruce we see in The Avengers that I find utterly irresistible if I'm honest about it.

And I've found a new fandom OT3, Tony/Pepper/Bruce. I know, a little weird when you first think about it, but on a strange level it actually works. Or maybe I've just been lucky regarding the fics I've read in the genre so far...

Also saw Prometheus last night and my recommendation to everyone is...don't. I mean Michael Fassbender is fabulous in it and his character is far and away the most interesting in the film but even he can't carry this mess across the finish line single handedly. Let's just say I ended up laughing a lot more than I gasped or cringed. There was certainly enough of the gross to appeal to those who are looking for that, but the level of stupid of most of the characters kind of cancels out a lot of the good stuff buried beneath it. And this was the script that Ridley Scott thought was good enough to go with? Sad.

It occurs to me that we clearly need to watch this film together when it's out on video. I have, of course, already ordered my copy :)

AM TOTALLY BUYING OMG YES.

Hell, I'd watch it over and over just to watch Tony smirk, Loki be... Loki, and all the asskicking.

Also I want to watch the final battle sequence over and over and over again. Then I want to slow-mo it and watch it again, then once more with the audio commentary...If there are storyboards on one of the discs I may well expire from pure joy.
