Mad, Bad and Dangerous? The Scientist and the Cinema sounds awesome.

I want to give it at least a short writeup. It was great.

(It also produced, in conversation with derspatchel, the immortal blurb: "It is frankly stupid that you do not own this book.")

I think I am now officially the last person on the planet who hasn't managed to see The Avengers.

Nah, neither Rob nor my brother has managed it yet. It is worth your time, although my favorite of the recent cycle remains Captain America, followed suprisingly by Thor.
