Comic Book Movies

Last week, I finally got around to seeing "Captain America: The Winter Soldier". I'd seen a lot of chatter on the internet about it, and since I really enjoyed the first one, I wanted to see the second.

I liked it a great deal because it encompassed a lot of issues that are on my mind often: the NSA, privacy, constitutional freedom, and PTSD. It didn't hurt that Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan are cute as all hell.

However, this sent me into a frenzy of "I need to watch comic book movies!" I bought the first Iron Man today at Bookman's, and it was the only Marvel film they had. I downloaded the first Captain America movie from Amazon and gave that a watch. Now, however, I want to see The Hulk, which I haven't seen yet, and "Thor: The Dark World" which I haven't seen either. I'm "meh" on the X-Men films, but might go to see the new once since matinees here are only $7.

I've always liked the interlocking stories in the Marvel universe, so watching the various films from The Avengers is a natural.

Believe it or not, I'm writing a "Winter Soldier" fanfiction right now.
