Sweet thoughts Andrew, I enjoy your breakdown and recommendations. Other than one ‘Howd’d he know that moment?’ the writing was yet another spectacular part of this very well-done movie. I taught group leadership to a room full of law enforcement people today, and readily pulled examples fresh from my viewing last night.

Unfortunately no one else in the room had seen the movie (yet–there were a few who intend to), but the cavalier ‘Field Trip!’ suggested by one member really wasn’t a bad idea. Not only are there many writing tips to be had from it, there is much to be learned about group dynamics, composition, norms, cohesion, and development.

Ah, well. Now I must scrounge for some movie money…

Okay, I know the scene of which you speak (just got back from the movie) and yes, I and everyone else were laughing so hard (I could barely catch my breath, it was so unexpectedly, outrageously funny) that we missed Hulk’s line when he’d “finished”.

Please … for the love of all that is Marvel, please tell me what Hulk said.

An email will do, if that is better.

The movie was great, and the writing was too. I’d highly recommend it, and I only go to the big screen for “big” event movies like this one (and John Carter!! Kaor!!)

Anyway, I definately feeel I got my money’s worth, and then some.
