consider us avenged.

ben has been pretty excited about that avengers movie

for a while now, so what else could we do except pre-order

some tickets like crazy & make a date night out of it?

we met up in midtown after work to pick up some 

dinner to-go (& sneak it into the theater, of course! 

i mean...you didn't hear that from me...) & then
together we walked up to the theater on 66th.

my hair was all kinds of sweaty today. the

mugginess of the city has started getting

a little out of control, let me tell you what:

we arrived at the theater almost an hour early (i know,

i know! who have we become? i haven't seen a movie

within a week of its opening since...gosh...one of the

early/middle-ish harry potter movies? & now here we are

seeing the avengers on OPENING. DAY.) & the line 

was already really long! i guess we shouldn't have been

surprised. during the wait, we did things like take fake

fandango.com advertisement pictures:

we heard the guy behind us in line say to his friend,

"i wish i had brought chili like that guy." that's right,

folks, tonight husband became that guy.

me with my soup that no one commented on:

this was when the line started to move:

 okay, so, you know that avengers movie?

IT IS AMAZING.

so, so worth it. go & see it.

the characters are fun, it's 100%

clean & you find yourself getting really 

into it. the bad guys are scary & the good

guys are...complicated. :) plus it has the 

perfect balance of humor, deep thematic 

elements, explosions, fighting, & thor.

husband & i give it two thumbs WAY up.
