Let’s Talk About The Avengers Movie
I know this is, like, days after The Avengers movie opened, but I’ve been talking about it non-stop with everyone I see. And while I am usually the person who brings up the topic, no one has yet said, “No! Please! Anything but that!” So let’s talk about The Avengers, shall we?

Actually, you can watch Matt Salinger as Captain America right here. Ain’t technology grand?
