Avengers: Age of Ultron - geeking out

Friday night at the cinema is always a good night out and tonight Mat and I saw Avengers: Age of Ultron in all its glorious 3D. I'm still excited by it although this may be enhanced by all the steroids I'm on...

Just in case you've missed any of the low-key publicity going on with this film in all the print journals, TV & various social networking sites (*sarcastic face*), here is a useful link:

Avengers: Age of Ultron - useful info

It was all sorts of superhero hokum but I really enjoyed it! I found it quite exhilirating in parts. Not necessarily intellectually (sorry) but the special effects were superb. I embraced all the noise and I gave a little yelp when we stayed and watched beyond the credits....(no spoilers!).

I've even chosen which 'Avenger' I would like to be and that's Thor - mostly because he wears a cape, carries that kick-ass hammer, is beyond good looking with his long blond hair and beautifully put together face AND gets to say "I am Thor, son of Odin" pretty much all the time. Standard superhero qualities really.

There is still a geek in me. Not much of one but definitely still there. I have surprised myself by how much there is. I'll be going to Comic Con with Martha next if I'm not careful.... ;-)

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the cancer and all its grisly side effects may have changed me these last few months but I'm still me - sad geek and all and willing to ride out the storm like a true 'avenger' so more of the 'real' me surfaces :-)

By the way, I really can't wait for the new Star Wars film - only six months to go!
