trinityvixenWell, it would be nice if our MAY MOVIE were good. It's been...a while. Iron Man was the last one of any real quality. But it's certainly not necessary, not given the track record. Plus, there's this. I haven't got any hopes about this movie, which means it can only surprise me with being mediocre-to-good. And if there were, like, just a liiiiiiitte bit more of this than I've already been led to believe there will be, I'll be fine with whatever. Also, here's a side-by-side picture of Thor and the Cap shirtless. BECAUSE.
What's actually important, folks, is that this year's MAY MOVIE marks the start of a second decade of MAY MOVIEs, and I'm kind of choked up about that. I was trying to run down the list the other week. THE MAY MOVIE has not always been illustrious, but it has been memorable. The first year, I took a slightly tipsy![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
viridian out with her friend, feiran , cagexxx (I think) and one or two other people to see The Mummy Returns. It was just serendipity that Spider-Man came out the same weekend the next year. Do something twice, and it's a meme, and year three brought X-Men 2. Alas, I closed out my college MAY MOVIE with the ridiculously terrible Van Helsing, and next year's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is more notable for what it lacked rather than what had. (Stephen Fry was the voice of the Book! Sam Rockwell was Zaphod! How could you make it so dull?) Mission Impossible III was entirely forgettable the year after. Alas, the same cannot be said for Spider-Man 3 which still haunts my nightmares some times. Iron Man remains the only MAY MOVIE I ever missed, and that's a real pity because it was awesome. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was so boring and predictable I couldn't even remember I'd seen it, much less as a MAY MOVIE. And then Iron Man 2 was all right, but not terrific. Wow, ten years! Here's to ten more!
THOR will be THE MAY MOVIE this year, in case you missed my infrequent posts about it. I'll get back to you all with times next week (looking for a theater with showtimes listed NOT in 3D, FYI), but May 6th, 2011. BE THERE.
