theinternetkills: Review: ‘The Avengers’ Let me preface by saying that I read comics growing up, so seeing this movie finally happen was like telling the 8 year old me that there’d be a live action Transformers movie one day, although in this case the movie wasn’t pure shit. Honestly, there isn’t much to say about the movie, it was pretty damn good.  If the movie was bad, I’d pick it apart and point out all the Goatse size holes in the story, but it really didn’t have any.  So, rather than write a long shitty review full of spoilers and useless tidbits about the movie; just go watch it (or make plans to go watch it… I don’t care what you do! You’re not the boss of me!)  At least this way, Joss Whedon gets paid, and hopefully makes another one.  Because if ANYONE should be making comic book movies, it’s that guy! Fuck Yeah

ROMA (Part 1 - The Pantheon)


Rome is kind of like London, with a slightly less crowded Underground, better pizza, more sunshine and a scattering of random, ancient ruins. I was (pleasantly) surprised by what a bustling, fashionable, metropolitan and expansive city this is.


The Pantheon is the best preserved remnant of Rome’s most ancient past. It was better tended to than the Colosseum and Forum mostly due to the fact it was reprized throughout it’s history from town hall to Christian church.


As you turn another beautiful, yet unremarkable street corner (face-deep in map), the venerable structure seems to sneak up on you - it appears suddenly, looming ominously above! Although breathtaking, the outside is a shadow of it’s original self, eager builders having ‘borrowed’ it’s bronze and stolen it’s glory when creating St Peter’s Basilica many years later.


It’s said that modern day mathematicians and architects are unable to decode the secret of it’s expansive dome - unable to explain how it stays up! The eye (center) of the dome is open, exposing this magnificent creation of mankind to rain, hail and shine - all three of which we experienced in the hours we basked in it’s glory.

Sound dramatic?  Well, I’d protest it’s deserved of a little flourish. And if all of that is not enough to impress, the bones of the great Renaissance painter Raphael lie here, guarded by an angel of stone.
