Catalog-In

I simply must have Kraven to help me with my glitter glue projects. He can do the detailing that my clumsy large hands can't get. I have a light up fuzzy cowboy hat that he can wear.

I finally saw this today... Loved it! It certainly lived up to all the buzz Ive been hearing several weeks. Best Marvel flick Ive seen in awhile (Avengers, Cap I, Iron Man I, Thor I, and X-Men:First Class being among the last I've enjoyed). Weird how Cap I goes from one of the lowest (despite thinking that it was one of MUs better films) to the highest grossing. Could a lot of people "been late to the show" when it came to Cap? Waited for DVD, Netflix or cable to catch on? Regardless, (thumbs u to ScarJo and Mackie playing their supporting roles well. And Stan's (not Lee! ) portrayal of an unstoppable machine...The Winter Soldier. I thought that this movie was good as "just" a movie, standing alone outside of the superhero universe (if that makes sense). Like really good. It's probably my favorite one so far. I think that Capt. America's newfound popularity might in part be due to Chris Evans' selling the character in The Avengers, which was more widely seen than his first movie. I can say that, as a not very comic-booky person, I almost didn't see the first Capt. America because he just doesn't really seem like a very exciting character. However, Evans won me over and I was excited to hear the character would be in more movies. I imagine non-believers who saw him in The Avengers felt the same way... I was also happy to see Black Widow in a more substantial role, but don't think that would have too much sway at the box office, since it's not her movie and her level of involvement wasn't really obvious from the previews.

Charlotte, but Charlene will work. I've been called worse. :0)

Hi, I'm Char. I originally came onto the boards looking for some advice, but in reading some of the posts have realized that I've kind of lost touch with my nerdy side...and I miss it. I don't really collect anything specific-if I like it I buy it, so I have a bunch of single issues. I tend to like the older art because (I think) a lot of the new stuff looks the same, and I'm really not big on Playboy bunnies and impossibly muscled guys for my superheroes. I collect the original art Oz books, so I am looking at collecting the Oz comics (Skottie Young, not stripper Dorothy by whomever). I like to read posts to see other people's opinions and ideas, but I probably won't be too much of a chatterbox since I'm not much of a collector. So, "Hi," to everyone.
