As y’all know, my lovely wife and I attended the screening of The Avengers last night.  One word – awesome.  If the studio wants me to remove my comment until Friday then I will do so.  If not then I’ll repeat myself – awesome.  The tension in the theater was palpable.  Mostly because everybody at the screening had received news earlier in the day about The Movie Mark’s big return, and there was apparently a lot of anticipation regarding when I’d walk through the side hallway and enter the theater.  The closer it got to 7:30, the more concerned the audience became that my return was all hype with little to show.

I’ll tell you, when I entered the theater and the crowd erupted into cheers and applause, I had to fight back tears.  It felt like a genuine “movie moment.”  It was apropos that we were about to watch a superhero movie, considering the fact that I’ve been called back into action by all seven of my readers to once again face Hollywood head-on.

And the tension carried over into the movie.  But I will say no more regarding that.  You’ll have to wait for my review.  But speaking of tension (I know, you’re right, I am a master at crafting segues), check out the following exclusive Avengers featurette, appropriately titled *drum roll* TENSION.

“No hard feelings, Point Break.”
