Shawarma

[tencrush]

Still my favourite Avengers scene, more so now that I know Cap's sitting like that because Evans was doing Snowpiercer at the time and had a pasteded out beard.



It's like, Avengers, with the added bonus of Chris Evans' beard being in it. May start a petition to have the beard featured in Cap3.

YEAH FINE BEARDY CHRIS DOES IT FOR ME OKAY???



Though, to be fair, the picture above is accompanied in my head by Eric Cartman shouting "BEEFCAAAKE!" at me.

I WAS WONDERING about that pose in the shawarma scene!

He looks SO MUCH like another actor in the below pic and I just can't place it. It's driving me nuts.

[tencrush]

Yeah, they filmed that months later when Chris' beard was already back in full swing. Also: wig.

He does look like someone, I know, and I can't place it either. I've got nothing.

[off_coloratura]

Ryan Gosling? Noah Wyle!

[tencrush]

Yes, I'll give you that, bits of him do look like Noah Wyle when Noah Wyle is beardy and doesn't pull that annoying Noah Wyle face.

[off_coloratura]

I rewatched the shawarma scene and I'm damned if I can see any trace of beard. He shifts his hand a couple times, and there's some right ear/cheek area that's constantly exposed. Did they digitally fix it?

[tencrush]

Apparently they freaking PLASTERED his fayce for ages just to shoot those few seconds of shawarma eating.

[off_coloratura]

Poor baby.

Found this and laughed my ass off. Copperbadge is SO RIGHT.

[tencrush]

Don't say things like that. I'm bad enough already.

[off_coloratura]

Jeremy Renner said he looked like his face was melting, or that he'd been stung by bees. :)

[tencrush]

Poor baby. Poor, poor baby, let me kiss it better.

[off_coloratura]

You have made me watch What's Your Number. I hope you're happy.

Because I am. Naked-but-for-dish-towel Chris Evans in the first five minutes. Rowr.

[off_coloratura]

He's got a young Alec Baldwin vibe in What's Your Number. AND THAT'S WHO HE REMINDS ME OF IN THAT PIC.

[tencrush]

He's such a Baldwin.

[tencrush]

Damn you.

I looked for that the other day, realised it wasn't on Netflix and then contemplated if it was worth downloading and having to answer the inevitable question of why I downloaded a film with naked Chris Evans in it. The answer being for science, darling.

I wish he had a beard in it, tho.

[off_coloratura]

There was some stubble.

It is young Alec Baldwin, though, isn't it? It totally is.

[tencrush]

Fine, that'll do. To the torrent machine it is.

Yeah, it's Baldwin. How is it I remember Baldwin being that young?

[off_coloratura]

Because we're dirty old women?

[off_coloratura]

I'm watching Fantastic Four now. YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME. YOU AND YOUR BEARDED CHRIS EVANS.

[tencrush]

AWWW. SHIT I JUS REALISED HE'S GOING TO START FILMING ULTRON LIKE NEXT WEEK AND THEN THE BEARD WILL BE SACRIFICED.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[off_coloratura]

He can grow another one, darlin'. And we always have the photos from the latest press junket.

[tencrush]

It's just not the same. Oh, but he'll be pulling that gormless smiley Cap face again, so that's okay.

It's all Hulk and Hawkeye I hear, btw, which is fine, I'd really like to see more of Ruffalo's Banner, but Cap better get those ninja fighting skills out again or I will be disappoint, they were hawt.

[off_coloratura]

From what I've seen in trailers his big thing is jumping from impossible heights and rolling when he lands and being absolutely fine.

I liked Ruffalo too, and Hawkeye could use some development. They've also got two new ones, so I understand why it'd be Cap-light. Still :(

[tencrush]

He actually hurts people which is impressive, and he does a lot of gymnastic shizz. He's like a patriotic ninja. They made him... scarier, I guess. Like he will just grab you by the throat and choke the life out of you if you piss him off. But still he's like the best boy scout ever. It's a weirdly sexy combination.

And the lack of costume in many of the fight scenes was interesting, it kind of just made him this guy in chinos who's going to KICK YOUR ASS.

[off_coloratura]

Apparently Evans also does gymnastics. Because he wasn't awesome enough.

[tencrush]

I think Evans and the fight guys started that, he wanted to overhaul his fighting style, which was a little heavy on the shield throwing and punching and not much else. Now it's heavy on the gymnastics and kicking people in the face.

And yeah, I'm not really spoiling anything if I tell you he has no costume for most of the film, so no mask. And even when he does have the mask, he takes it off, twice. An alarming amount of the fight scenes is Evans himself and not his double.

[off_coloratura]

I like it.

[tencrush]

It made me a bit moist.

[off_coloratura]

Yeah... he does that. Damn it.

When the fuck is that movie coming out? Thank god for tumblr.

[tencrush]

I might go again.

Stop me.

[off_coloratura]

Not if going again is gonna make you keep posting pictures of his ass.

[tencrush]

ALRIGHT I'LL GO AGAIN AND KEEP POSTING PICTURES OF HIS ASS, YOU FORCED ME INTO IT.

[off_coloratura]

YOU MADE ME WATCH WHAT'S MY NUMBER.

I call it even.

[tencrush]

Haha I'll probably make MYSELF watch it, though.

I don't know what's happened to me I never noticed the boy until he grew a full beard and I went O HELLO THERE.

[off_coloratura]

Suuuure you didn't.

[tencrush]

FOR REAL. Seriously, my kids watched FF like three weeks ago and I just went yeah, whatever, it's Chris Evans, I didn't even really watch it. Then Cap premiered and beard and I went WHATTHEFUCK.

[off_coloratura]

Well, he's such a baby in FF, and also all bro-ish and thrillseeking.

Maybe the beard grew him up enough in your eyes.

[tencrush]

Yeah, I think I just went "Oh hello manly man."

Haha this weeks SHIELD is hilariously foreshadowy.

[off_coloratura]

Of the movie?

[tencrush]

Yeah. I'm not done watching, but yes. Also I have been sadly spoiled for upcoming episodes, and for that too.

[off_coloratura]

LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING

[tencrush]

I'm pissed I've been spoiled for SHIELD, but it is what it is.

Blake/May flirting, nice.

[off_coloratura]

Too bad he got his ribcage stomped in.

I MAY have been spoiled for SHIELD, it was some guy who claimed to know the direction it was headed, and I hope it's not the case, but we'll see.

[tencrush]

Ooh. Intrigue. Hand is such a bitch. I suddenly have no idea where this is going, but it's going the exact same way as the Who the fuck are the bad guys Winter Soldier story. I hope Coulson is as gleeful as Steve was when he figured out who the bad guys were, he was totally jolly about figuring out who to punch.

[off_coloratura]

Looked up the Lemurian Star - it's in the movie preview clips, so I feel relatively unspoiled, and very amused. Poor Agent Sitwell.

[tencrush]

I'm keeping my mouth shut from here on in.

[tencrush]

I have Fantastic Four on dvd. Maybe even Rise of the Silver Surfer as well. We own many superhero films. FF just didn't work, I'm amazed it got a sequel at all. Evans was utterly watchable iirc, but the film seemed to have no forward momentum and precious little soul. But maybe that's just me in hindsight having been spoiled by the gold that Marvel Studios make themselves out of the characters they do own.

[off_coloratura]

The CGI is also hysterical, especially for Mister Fantastic.

I remember enjoying FF the first time I saw it but feeling like it probably wouldn't hold up to a rewatch. It's been nine years, I can stand a mediocre film for the sake of Chris Evans.
