Megan and I saw the new Captain America movie with Michael K last night. Action Action ACTION! My two favorite moments:

• a super-baddie jumping on top of a speeding car and ripping the steering wheel off, much to the dismay of our heros driving the car
• A flying aircraft carrier slowly careening into a skyscraper… CCCccrRRUUUSSHHHRRAAAAAAAaaaAAACK!

My review: 2 1/2 hours of roller coaster ACTION!

I was a bit miffed that two promo codes Megan and I had gotten from buying stuff over Christmas on Fandango.com had expired. After looking at the original coupon again I now see the expiration date buried down at the bottom, but it feels pretty buried. Grrr. And I don’t know, I’ve got this feeling that the nature of a movie ticket, a fun non-necessity, shouldn’t have such harsh terms of use.

I wrote to them and their response was “tough noogies.” Screw them, I discovered another ticket-buying website: MovieTickets.com. They’ve got all the local theaters and their fees are a bit lower. I’m switching.
