Hello, bar!

It's Friday again, and we have a new movie! Accordingly, this week's ATTF is a free-for-all chat and gif party. However, since many people won't get to see Winter Soldier until this weekend, please keep your discussion spoiler free. Next week we'll attempt an intelligent discussion once we've all seen it and had a chance to recover from the initial flails. :)

Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

I just want to say that I think the folks at Marvel, so far anyway, really seem to "get it." They've provided a good foundation on which to build. They stay true enough to the comic book origins while creating a separate and exciting cinematic universe. I look very forward to what is in store for our assassins and their colleagues. This is an exciting time! And it's even more fun having a bar where squee is welcomed and encouraged. ;)

Knowing little about the comics, I will take your word for it that they have done them justice. :)

I think the excellent job they did grounding the MCU in CA:WS will be a fantastic anchor point for any future MCU installments (like a Black Widow movie, c'mon!), and I too cannot wait to see where they're going to go from here. \o/

**Edited for the risk of vague spoilers. All you really need to know is, I was ridiculously happy at how they handled Natasha's part, and where it could go from here.

As a life-long DC native, this movie hurt me in my feelings. DIRECTLY IN MY FEELINGS. (There are no skyscrapers in DC, guys. Anywhere.)

Not anymore, anyway ... ;-)

The thing on the roof? Where they talk about his love life? The would have had to LEAVE DC and go to Virginia for that to happen. *quietly fumes*

It doesn't help that they talked about "17th avenue" and such. THAT IS NOT HOW DC WORKS.

Haha and as a Cleveland native I kept thinking "omg these buildings are SOOOOO Cleveland." Not the skyscrapers but everywhere else.

I got SO MAD in one scene where there was a sign for like, Rte 6. NOT MY DC.

(And the thing where they were closing the airports will forever make me weep...)

Closing the airports? When was that?? I must have zoned out then! I def. zoned out during one of the fight scenes. Not b/c I was bored but because I was focusing on a previous scene.

I worked in DC for nearly 12 years. They did "take some liberties" with the skyline, although the street-level scenes seemed ok. Not sure if this is what you meant, but in all those years and the decade since, I never asked to be picked up at "IAD." Maybe they call it that now (?), but it was always Dulles. ;)

I live in Northern Virginia and it's still Dulles. "IAD" is the airport code for Dulles, but I've never heard anyone call it that outside of the travel industry (I used to work for a travel agency).

I used to live in Northern VA and commute to DC -- Franconia Springfield to Foggy Bottom on the Metro. Most flights I took were out of DCA. I only mention that because it's nice to throw those names around and have someone know what I'm talking about. Much like somebody else recently did, I left my old aliases in DC and moved on. While I was there, though, those were some damn good times... ;)

Well, I don't really do Gifs. All the Gifs I have are ~~stolen~~ borrowed from other people. But here's one that looks like Clint, after he hears the news about what went down in Washington (or Cleveland, as the case may be):

Gorgeous!!! Aaaaahhhh I miss this man!!!

:-) Just remembered that I got this gif from the incomparable

shenshen77.

I had to come here and squee- the thing? The thing with the pictures in the post? The thing was in the movie a LOT. This makes me incredibly happy. I can't wait to talk about it!!

Me, too! And the thing about the thing is that if you didn't have a thing for the thing, it wouldn't even be a thing. Must talk soon!

Loved Winter Soldier and even have a theory/HC as to why Clint was there/wasn't mentioned in the film. Hopefully if I can wrangle my muse it'll turn into a quick one-shot.

Just came back from Winter Soldier.

*vibrates*

Discussion post is soon, yes?

YES???

*VIBRATES*
