So I wanted to write about Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) when I got home tonight.

Slightly past the 2000-word mark, my arms hit a brick wall.

I will finish the post and put it up tomorrow. Expect discussion of structure, voice, and Bruce Banner. I am going to put an ice pack on my elbows and go to bed.

So first I had dinner at the Madrona Tree with [livejournal.com profile] gaudior and then we went to see Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) at the Capitol Theatre and then I banged one of my already sprained elbows into a bathroom stall door and walked most of the way home holding my arm and talking way too fast at Gaudior because of the adrenaline, so this is not a movie review; I don't have the typing capacity for it. You may consider these notes. I just want to get something down for posterity before my short-term memory shuts down for the night. [edit] As stated in the previous post, my ability to type shut down at the 2100-word mark and I went to bed. Finished this post in the afternoon, after seeing Buster Keaton's The Cameraman (1928) at the Somerville. Total spoilers everywhere, of course. For the Avengers, not Keaton.

But if you put the hammer in an elevator— )

So those are my scattered thoughts on Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's not as strong a sequel as The Winter Soldier or even Thor: The Dark World (2013), which frustrated me, but I am not sorry to have seen it and it doesn't seem to have set any of the characters in directions that make me scream, although I may revise my opinion based on succeeding movies. I may well see it again to consider further. Maybe I should stop typing now. These 3400 words sponsored by my fine backers at Patreon.
