Folks, we have come around to that time of the year again, when we all* partake in the juggernaut that is THE MAY MOVIE.

Unless you've been ignoring my posts for over a year, you'll know that the 2012 MAY MOVIE is The Avengers. This movie is going to be huge. Huger than any other MAY MOVIE I think we've ever seen. Let me think...The Mummy Returns, Spider-Man, X-Men 2, Van Helsing, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Mission: Impossible III, Spider-Man 3, Iron Man, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Iron Man 2, Thor...gee, there sure are a lot of members of the Avengers in that list, but I think it's safe to say a movie with ALL OF THEM** is going to be bigger than any of the movies with any of them individually***.

The movie is going to be a bit later this year, probably starting after 8 pm, with more details to come. Right now, only the AMC Empire 25 at 42nd Street and the AMC at Kip's Bay have movie times available. I'll give it until Thursday at the latest and then call this. Just be aware that since this is most likely the HUGEST MAY MOVIE OF ALL TIME**** that we will probably have to get there, like, an hour early to wait on the line.

Keep your eyes on this space for updates! Excelsior!

* - some, very dedicated or very demented few
** - except for Wolverine and Spider-Man
*** - which is, of course, a guarantee that the film will be even better than all the others put together
**** - at least until Marvel finds a way to get the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises back into its power and puts Wolverine and Spidey in the sequel, Avengers 2: The Search For All of TrinityVixen's Money

2D, yes?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. 3D has been nothing but a disappointment as a gimmick, and it often leaves me nauseated and headache-y. So not only does it fail to deliver on the promise, it makes me physically unwell besides.

And honestly, I'd rather save my one or two viewings a year in 3D for the truly awful movies that deserve it more, like the endless sequels to Resident Evil.

[xannoside.livejournal.com]

hear, hear for awful Resident Evil movies.

I am in for May 4th, naturally! I even intend to not be annoying in the theater (though I may geek out, just a bit ;) )!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I keep catching bits of that last RE movie on TV and cracking the fuck up over the Prison Break guy being in prison. Between that and the Milla army (may it rest in peace), it was enough to make me come back for a fifth movie. And if I'm going to be spending money distracted by the goddamned 3D, it better be something I don't mind being distracted from.

There's no need to not geek out at The Avengers. I keep squealing every time I see the trailer and they're all in a circle together. It's worth being totally annoying about, is what I'm saying.

This is Friday, May 4th?

The next RE movie will have Michelle Rodriguez. And finally, the character of Ada Wong. I'll see it. Even in migraine-inducing 3D.

SO HAY, could you snag me a ticket when you buy yours? I'm coming, but I doubt I'll have the attention span to buy a ticket later in the week. :P

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I will do, certainly. When do you think you can make it up here? About what time, I mean? And do I need to get one for the husband or is he unable to make it?

[fairest.livejournal.com]

I'm treating myself to an Amtrak, so I'll come in around 7:00 (YAY not being at the whims of road traffic!). Meanwhile, any idea when you want to be back in the city on the 8th, so I can book my return ticket?

Please do pick up a ticket for E. He'll be running around NY that day, but I think it'd be easiest for us to pay you when we're all together, if that's okay.

GLEE!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Well, crap. Fridays are no good for me, so I'll probably need to miss the outing this year. Sorry--I'd figured it would be a weekend event, as usual. :(

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

It's always been a Friday as long as I can remember...

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Has it? That's possible--I didn't have the same commitments in previous years that I do now, so it might not have been a problem the other times. I guess they just felt like weekends. :)

[lnbw.livejournal.com]

WOO!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Mais oui!

[moonlightalice.livejournal.com]

I suppose I will have to attend, but purely for the company involved.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

A truly noble sacrifice. And hey! It could be better than you're thinking it will be :P

*scratches head*
May? But.. it's only April, why are you waiting until May?

(Sorry, couldn't resist)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Ooh I finally get to use this icon directed at the person I'm replying to! ::STARES DAGGERS AT YOU::

[kent-allard-jr.livejournal.com]

Kimberly and I will be there, with or without Ant-Man costumes.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

See, now I think I need to wear my Thor helmet again....

[kent-allard-jr.livejournal.com]

Also, these MAY MOVIE announcements should have Roman numerals attached, as befitting truly epic events like World Wars and the Superbowl. So... on to MAY MOVIE XII!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

...you are so right. I am going to do that from now on.

[onefishonly.livejournal.com]

I will be there!

(You will make a separate post or email when theater/time is chosen, right? I don't *think* I missed it.)
