Conventional wisdom about writing is conventionally wrong.
What did we do before YouTube was invented?
THE BREAKFAST CLUB is a classic coming-of-age movie, which involves a jock, a prom princess, a geek, a stoner and a freak. THE AVENGERS is the same, except the kids are all grown up, have fancier toys and bigger issues, as this beautiful mashup makes clear.
Oh, this is well-done.
I liked THE AVENGERS and THOR, along with CAPTAIN AMERICA and IRON MAN, though I do agree that IRON MAN 2 was smothered in useless sidekick nonsense.
Favorite line: “Witness the excitement … of Iron Man fixing a spaceship for 20 minutes.”
Making the violin screech and frighten children is easy.
Doing this, now, takes serious talent.
Bonus: This U.K. version of the AVENGERS trailer is interesting. I like it, I love it, I want some more of it.
