"signed to play" just means that if they want him, they can use him. doesn't mean they have to use him. could be a way to hide that he's gone, or could be a sign that he survives.

So, my coworker had to put in the order for work on Wednesday because my sister-in-law (our main cook) is on vacation for two weeks. She wanted to order chicken breasts, but wrote down chicken pies. So they sent us a case of chicken pot pies. She was trying to write chicken pieces, but it's not fucking chicken pieces, it's chicken breasts! I want to correct her, but she gets pissy when she's corrected. So on the list she's writing for the grocery I just wrote a little note that the chicken pies did come and are in the freezer above the milk...(I put the order away 'cause it didn't get here on Thursday like it was supposed to.) So I have to figure out how to tell her she's doing her job wrong when yesterday she spoke to me as if I don't know what I'm doing in the kitchen. (She said it was a good thing the chicken pieces (breasts) didn't come in because you have to clean the whole counter down with bleach after, as if I didn't already know that.) It's getting hard to play nice when I'm just placating idiocy to avoid confrontation. Being real, she's replaceable with very little effort, I would be much much harder to replace because my boss pretty much leans on me to get her job done.

How did you guys end up working at the same place? Did you help her get the job or was it just coincidence?

short answer: she's friends with my boss.

Long answer:
She used to work here years before I started, so she knew my boss. When our last cook quit I told her because I knew she was looking for a less demanding job, so she applied and my boss was on board and hired her back on.

She told me about a job being available here when I first moved here because my boss told her about it and she knew I was looking for a job, so she connected me up with my boss and my boss hired me on.

Marvel has been pretty mum's on future movies outside Spiderman 2, Ant Man & The Wasp, GotGv3, and Captain Marvel. Even the next Avengers is untitled because they didn't want to spoil this one. They wouldn't reveal if Evans, Downey, Hemsworth, are renewing their contracts or not, because it would spoil the movie. Outside the ones I mentioned, everything is listed as "untitled" (seriously, there are 9 "Untitled Marvel Movie"s after Spiderman 2, post "Untitled Avengers") because they're avoiding spoilers. They've clearly heard the internet complain that there is no risk because of the announcements, so now they shut the fuck up as this one approached. Could they be Black Panther 2, Doctor Strange 2, ect? Maybe, maybe not. While certain announcements were made a while back, things went silent on their development at Infinity War approached.

There are definitely characters that died. But certain ones that were done in a certain way, are likely coming back. Others...yeah unless they pull some shenanigans probably not. This one definitely had balls.

I'll spoil one though, no Hulk death. :p They do something fun with Banner that I enjoyed, but left only anticipating him in the follow up even more.

The movie is very crammed, but didn't feel overwhelming. Some of the CGI of the henchmen of Thanos' weren't all that great (okay, pretty much the female one, the others looked good, she looked pretty video-gamey), but overall the FX were MUCH better than Black Panther's. I think the only thing I felt could've made the movie better, was a little bit more breathing room in between set pieces. It all felt very tightly condensed.

Thanos is definitely a threat.

I'm a little surprised to see it already at the top of my flickchart for the year, but it's not exactly super high in the total vacuum of the movies I have up there either. Still in the early part of the year, I'm sure it'll get shuffled down. At the top of only 7 movies isn't saying much :P So, for Jason, the grade's an A+, but really I still haven't given an A+ this year ;)

Didn't noticed I typed "3" when I made the thread (I was rushing to get ready). Doesn't look like I can edit the thread title either. Bummer.
