Somewhat irritated

[amalthia]

I know I'm probably not the only person in the United States that isn't happy with the 10 day delay in watching Avengers. It seems like everyone else in the world has seen the movie and today as I was browsing tumblr I keep seeing cut tags for reviews (which I do appreciate btw) What is annoying me is that I really would love to read these reviews and thoughts on the movie but I have to wait another week before I can view them.

I'm seriously annoyed with whoever thought it would be a good idea to not have a single world wide release date for this movie so I can participate with my fellow fans and squee about the movie.

I could save the links to notepad to read after Avengers but I shouldn't have to. I feel cut off from the conversation and it's a weird unpleasant feeling.

And in other news, there is already a cam version of the movie online for anyone that knows how to use torrents.

the only reason I'm remotely okay with the delay is that I will actually be able to afford to go see the movie next week. This final week of the month I'm always broke and worn out.

It's good to find a silver lining. :) musesfool pointed out a great way to hide spoilers on tumblr which is a lifesaver. :)

I wasn't even aware that the movie came out earlier in other countries and now that I know, I'm antsy. I just want the Avengers in my eyeballs right now!

[amalthia]

I've been ready to watch this movie for months. :)

i'm waiting anxiously too; hoping not to be spoiled!!!!

aieeee.

I mean, i know usually it's the other way around with tv show released, but OMG I WANT TO SEE IT AND TALK ABOUT IT. IN THAT ORDER. EEEEE

is there a newsletter that rounds up reaction posts?

[amalthia]

I don't know if there is a newsletter for reaction posts but I think there may be an Avengers newsletter...I'll have to look. :) But it's a great idea to see if there is one.

I've been reading reaction posts, spoilers be damned, but I had to stop after the 2nd or 3rd one when I realized that I would go see it after all (I wasn't sure before) and I don't want to be the know-it-all in the movie party this time. So now I'm sitting on my hands too.

Is there some reason for the delay that anyone knows of?

[amalthia]

I haven't found a legit reason for the delay. But if I do I'll post about it. :)

I'm with you. Movie companies are so behind the times. TV, too. Simultaneous releases. It's the way to go.

I refuse to see the cam version before I go see the damn thing on the big screen. I like my superheroes GIANT.

[amalthia]

I'm also going to avoid the cam version. I really want to see the movie on the big screen. :)
