Man, apparently I watched almost nothing last week. Possibly because I was suffering from The Flu 2: Death by Cold, and I tend not to watch much when I'm sick. Tonight I do have to choose between which show I'm going to watch: the next episode of Sleepy Hollow, or the first episode of the Book of Negros, a mimiseries airing on BET that I've been very excited for.

Captain America: The First Avenger
I did finally watch this! And only five years behind everyone else. Which ended up sort of being a problem, because I'm pretty sure I had already seen literally every single scene in gifsets, meta, or fic. Which – I don't mind spoilers! I just expected there to be something more, something new that I didn't already know.

Okay, it was a surprise that Natalie Dormer was in the movie. Why did no one tell me that?

But overall it was a fine movie. I loved the sort-of-parody of the Captain America bond shows, and the 1940s-ness of it all: vita-rays! Floating cars! secret bases in the Alps! Unfortunately I still don't feel very fannish about the MCU. Which is really sad, because oh my god so much fic to read.

Natamie Dormer is in The First Avenger? Uh.

It is a very 40s movie, it's great.

She doesn't do much – she's a random secretary with about two lines. Plus, I think 2011 was before she became big. So I'm not surprised that no one remembered her, it was just startling to recognize her!
