Watching Monday

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.
