To be fair, how else would one hammily gloat over something in one's hand?

The thing is, by that point in the film, he'd had it for days, probably weeks, so theoretically his gloating should've been over (as he'd have had lots of time to simply pick it up and Marvel at its power).

Hammy Gloating is an advanced course for after you've declared a Super-Villainy major.

I dropped Demented Guffawing for Advanced Cat Petting because I didn't think I needed it.  I found out too late that it was a prereq for Maniacal Laughing, so I ended up having to take it in the Summer and I had to skip my internship with Dynatox.

[Nunyerbiz]

I skipped all the fancy, accredited learnin... and went straight to the Carleton Sheet's infomercial course on how to buy and sell McGuffins... You'd be amazed at how much those gullible villains will pay for some shiny piece of shit that opens interdimensional portal doors to blah blah blah unlimited power and yadda yadda unspeakable evil... And hell, the things fall to earth from outer space at least 4-6 times per summer... You'd think a few of them would smash into Venus occasionally... or maybe Uranus. .. .. fuck... I just couldn't resist... both the lame anus joke and the lame crutch of strikethrough.... I will now fasten a noose from this unusually long USB cable I just found in my cubicle.

that course numbering and the course pre-requisites make no sense. i think the whole department is in need of an overhaul.

[Tripe]

So, went to see it again yesterday due to Ann's bordering on unhealthy love of Loki. After the movie I noticed that there were these big promotional structures (I think they were triangular with three characters per structure) in the lobby. I think I'd like to get Ann one for our anniversary (one that features a particular character) but I've no idea what the proper name for those is and I don't think "ooh, you know big, triangular things, have a pic of a character on each side" will give me many useful results if I put it into a search.

[Darth Geek]

I think they are called "standees".

[Tripe]

Well, that's better than what I came up with, I'll give that a go.

There's a bunch of them on ebay now like this one:

Hulk on Terror Watch List

Actor Mark Ruffalo has been placed on a terror advisory list by U.S. officials after organizing screenings for a new documentary about natural gas drilling.

The "Zodiac" actor arranged showings for "GasLand" earlier this year and voiced his concerns about the practice in relation to the national water supplies.

But his efforts to raise awareness and demand a stop to natural gas drilling reportedly attracted the attention of officials from Pennsylvania's Office of Homeland Security – and he recently discovered it had landed him on a terror alert watchlist.

But Ruffalo is taking it all in his stride and has laughed off the idea he could be a threat to security.

He tells GQ magazine, "(It's) pretty f**kin' funny."

[goflyblind]

well, he should've been expecting this. after all, it's HULK SMASH not HULK FRACK.

So you're saying you're an autoDIEDIEDIEdact?

If they want to get even more asses to fill seats for Avengers 2... they need to bribe, sign contracts and so forth because they need to somehow get Wolverine and Spider-man into that movie as Major players. Seriously... nerdgasms will risk drowning us all in nerdy gushing.
