What propaganda? I don't recognize it, so it could be working. That concerns me.

All propaganda should be a concern.

Critical thinking is eliminated by fiction. One enters into spirit of it by setting aside ones critical faculties. One goes along with fiction for one’s amusement. No one questions fiction. It’s just fiction, not fact, you see. In this state of mind the subconscious is open to suggestion in the fictional work. Children are the prime suckers in society. Rule number one; we start with suckers. As they the children watch the action, they are unaware of what is going on around them, let alone the propaganda that we put in it. Step by step, film by film, etcetera they are raised, as it were, by the fiction. The more they see as normal in the fiction, the more they take it for granted as normal in the real world. In step, we bring into the real world the propaganda they we put out. So it all seems normal. Different propaganda of course we put out at different times, to fit our bill for the times. Suppose we want to bring in drones flying around the city that can see through walls, listen to people, all heavily armed of course, to shoot the bad guys, who are we going you call? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9We2XsVZfc
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

All part of the green agenda.

Really enjoyed reading the discussion here. I sincerely apologise for the spoilers. Being a Brit, I am used to our parochial island getting releases some time after the USA, clearly this was an exception. Next time I will be explicit in the title of the thread.
As you were, gentlemen. |

I'm not sure why these get released to the European audience first but I'm seeing more and more big budget movies do that.

It never used to be that way; I can't fathom it myself, rockwall.

Found this:
http://news.moviefone.com/2013/05/05/box......opening/ "More than anything else, the shift reflects how the international market, once just gravy for Hollywood, has eclipsed the domestic market as the main source of revenue for mainstream theatrical releases. As big as last year's "The Avengers" was at home ($623.4 million), it was even bigger abroad ($888.4 million). Of that foreign total, $185.1 million came in on the film's overseas opening weekend, which took place a week before the movie premiered here. So it's no wonder that Disney would repeat the strategy for "Iron Man 3." |

Thank you, that explains it. Anyway, I shall be more careful in future.

Tomsk192, I found someone who pretty much agreed with your assessment of the movie.
http://www.inquisitr.com/2089909/sportsc......te-rant/ Of, course, possibly not part of the target market. He's not sure what Robert Downey Jr's characters name is and he calls the Hulk, 'That big green guy'. At least he made me feel like a kid again. He kept saying, "The kids loved it!" (I'm about 2 years younger than Francesa.) |

I'd be willing to guess that you have judged several movies by the trailer, that you would have liked. I'm not positive of that, but the trailer doesn't decide how good the movie is. You are correct about many things becoming fandoms, but that does not mean my statement is untrue.

Saw it last night. Thought if was just horrendously bad.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I took the kids to see it while I was in the Philippines. They liked it, but I thought the finale didn't justify the (suspenseful) build up.
On a side note, I watched Kingsmen on the flight back and found it mediocre at best, but at least I didn't have to pay to watch it.

I saw it and liked it. But then again I'm pretty easy to please. I think it's going to be fun where they take it next. I can only speculate but I'm pretty sure it's going to be about Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet. After all, he already knows where one of the stones is because of the ending.
