How could all those people be on the ship/plane and have all those gadgets and monitors and not know a plane is right outside or in its vicinity.
No, what's convenient is that the shirt rips and the pants don't.
I apologize for the comment but I just really don't like these kinds of movies. I do think it's mindless drivel.Spoiler [+]I don't know what baffles me more .... the fact that you're asking so many questions about a movie that you said was forgettable.... that you're probably the only bulls fan that thinks rose isn't a superstar.... or that you're apologizing for making a comment that you know in advance is going to offend ppl. either don't say the offending statement at all or go all the way with it and not halfway.

Spoiler [+](1) Let me get this out of the way: I've explained my stance on Rose numerous times in the Bulls thread. It all hinges on one's definition of the word in question. While others have a broader and more inclusive sense of the word superstar, mine is far narrower. I exhibited this by bringing up the names of other PG's. If Rose is considered a superstar, then any of those players is as well. If that is the case, then I am fine with it because then the word is being defined differently. However, I would like to have a higher threshold and so to me, Rose is not a superstar. I hope you can understand.
(2) I apologized because my comment was in bad form. I asked and offended in the same post. I'm not against being offensive. On the contrary, it's the audaciousness of offending while asking for an explanation that renders me apologetic. One or the other would have been just fine but together it was inappropriate.
(3) The questions were asked not out of some fascination with the movie but to elucidate my point: that these popcorn superhero films are on the whole mindless. And as you can see, I asked a few questions about the premise of one of the biggest scenes of the movie and the answers left me wanting. To show the invisibility of the aircraft/ship and then have it be located so easily and the craft not having any surveillance is incredible. And if it was never located then a major action sequence would not have occurred. I can't just overlook that. The suspension of disbelief required is just too much for me, and this is especially so when the film makes no insightful points about anything. I qualified all this by saying that I am not a fan of the superhero genre and this clouds my critique of the film.
Now I am not completely against mindlessness. Sports is sometimes mindless and that I can enjoy. Music is sometimes mindless and that I can enjoy. But this sort of mindlessness is not entertaining to me.
I hope cured your puzzlement.

I hope cured your puzzlement.Spoiler [+]1-I'm not going to touch on that Rose debate. I honestly don't see the point of trying to debate that. If you can't see that Rose is a superstar, you'll never see it.
2-you actually make sense here. but you'd get more ppl trying to answer your questions if you just asked instead of being an @#%%!@@ about it. but whatever.
3- I'll try to answer your question. First, the assault on the ship was lead by a shield member. Someone pretty high on the totem pole at that. Most likely, on that alone he probably found a way to bypass the cloaking mechanism of the ship. I remember at one point I remember the word virus written on everyone's computer. Now that could've been Iron Man's bug but it's also possible that it was a virus by the enemy damaging the ship's cloaking mechanism. If not that, then both he and Dr. Selvig probably found a way to track Loki's weapon. Also possible. Loki wasn't exactly on that ship against his will. He surrendered way too easily. Very plausible that he along with Hawkeye and Selvig had worked out the tracking of his weapon way beforehand in the event Loki's held prisoner on the ship. All possible scenarios and not very hard to think of if you really thought about it.
4-and no you did not cure my puzzlement. I'm still puzzled by you. you're one of the weirdest posters I've ever seen. I'm almost convinced that you are a troll, man. you are on that DC American steez but I find you even more annoying given that I see you in the bulls thread all the time.

There's probably too much I expected in this movie that others didn't due to the fact that I haven't seen any of the other Marvel movies outside of the first Ironman. But my decisions to avoid those movies were conscious so there's that. There's no point in listening to my critiques since I'm not this film's intended audience. Well I guess they do show that some of the unconverted remain unconverted.
I feel you're reaching cuz you liked Ruffalo's portrayal that much or don't like Norton that much or you're just assuming things happened for the best. I'm not about to speculate about what if's but I could see Norton being a bit funnier/quirkier as Banner than what Ruffalo did with it. IMO,, it was an okay job. Nothing stood out about his Banner especially if you gonna compare his small parts to Norton's entire movie.Originally Posted by purplenurple1414
As far as casting for the Hulk goes...
Ruffalo did an excellent job in Avengers, and Norton did great in Hulk. I'm close to saying that Ruffalo plays a better Hulk, but we don't have a ton to work with.
However, I think that if we flipped the two actors (as in, Ruffalo in Hulk and Norton in Avengers), the effect would not have been as good.
Norton did great for an origin story for Hulk. His personality was stronger and fit well for a movie centered around Banner/Hulk. Ruffalo in an ensemble movie with Hulk works just as well.

I heard, While you were Sleeping, Point Break, Legolas, and like 3 others I'm now forgetting.
I know that's a reach, but I kept noticing that it was happening and didn't know why.
They should've hired that real Russian sleeper cell agent that was living in America. Plus she had red hair and was hotOriginally Posted by solarius49
This. Plus I really didnt want to hear her struggle with a Russian accent for 2 1/2 hoursOriginally Posted by Falcon4567
Why would she need to put on an accent around people who all speak English? That would just needlessly complicate things.
