Do as Peggy says |
If it's been a little quiet around here, I apologize.
Sunday I wrapped a week-and-a-half off from work (sometimes working at a University has its privileges. They just sent us home on the 22nd and said "don't come back til Monday the 4th"), and between writing those end of the year posts and no longer being under obligation to write about every movie I've watched, I've felt some sense of liberation and I'm enjoying it.
We also haven't watched all that many movies. I'll still, at minimum, post the poster for whatever movie I just watched, but full write-ups won't come as often this year. Yes, I probably should have written something about
Hateful 8, but... nope.
A long while back I got Jamie the Season 1
Agent Carter BluRay set, but she's held off on watching it until now so we would get a refresher just before Season 2 arrives January 19th.
It's rare I feel so vindicated as I have about my instincts around Haley Atwell's kick-ass love interest for Cap in 2011's
Captain America. I won't lie: Ms. Atwell is a striking lady, but I couldn't help but feel they'd found a lot of pieces in both script and actress I was interested in seeing expanded. But the Marvel Cinematic U is pretty firmly planted in the 21st Century, so I didn't expect anything except for a lot of me saying "I wish they would have done more with Agent Carter".
Well, sometimes the universe surprises us, and not only did they make a short-seasoned TV show I thought was better than it was ever going to be, but Jamie - who liked Peggy as well in the Cap movie - was a HUGE fan. I won major brownie points for getting her the Peggy carter Funko Pop, for example.
