I got beat up in that alley

[sovay]

So first Livejournal was under political attack, and then my internet access was (non-politically) tarfu from sometime last night until about half an hour ago, and this morning I had to see a dentist on an emergency basis. If you want content, have the posts I made during the LJ freeze. I am mostly going to bed.

I will, however, endeavor to be awake enough tomorrow to write up Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), which I managed nonetheless to see with my brother tonight; it was as terrific as I had hoped from its trailer, and in some surprising ways. I don't usually want sequels to movies, but I found myself faintly sorry this one wasn't about to be followed by anything but The Avengers—it's got that good a cast and set-up. It really is rare that I like protagonists, especially of things like summer blockbusters.

I'll admit to being a sucker for superhero movies of all stripes, but I was surprised by how much I liked "Captain America". I think a lot of it was due to Chris Evans, whom I wasn't expecting to like as much as I did. But the rest of the cast was terrific, too. I think I'll have to see this one again, when it hits the discount cinema.

He's effectively playing a dual role and he's great—I do not traditionally follow actors of that particular pin-up style, but I'll watch out for whatever he does next.

But the rest of the cast was terrific, too.

Right! I'd have happily watched more of them!
