Avengers Assemble!

I pulled in a few chips and stayed up too late, but my trip to the movies last night to see The Avengers was worth it. It's a fun movie that takes the original comics seriously but also includes a liberal dose of absurdest joy at the sheer spectacle of men in tights saving the world.

I'll hopefully have more later, but I will say that the biggest revelation to me was Mark Ruffalo's Hulk. He made the character interesting and relevant again in the same manner that Robert Downey Jr. did with Iron Man a few years back.

Update: Alyssa has a great post about the movie that's worth reading!
