That computer was not Russian. That's just bias.
It's a fact..

I'm not surprised I didn't remember... wait... nope. I distinctly remember making a joke about Helvetica during that scene. You're right. My bad! :D
It is what it is.

I would say there's something even more random than hoodies: Lakija's reviews and whether they're serious and actually pretty good or light-hearted, uninformative stream-of-consciousness ones. Again, an observation.

If you weren't paying attention the whole time, why waste your time reviewing? Feels odd. I'd rather hear an opinion from someone who watched the whole movie, you know?

There's Nothing Like Metal Hair and Hoodies
Everyone in my household liked this movie. My 3-year-old nephew and I were the outliers. What?! We took a 3-year-old?! Trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds.
My nephew is a precocious little dude. And he loves superhero movies. He's given his seal of approval to Spiderman, Iron Man, and the Avengers, The Hulk of course... but with this movie he was freaking bored out of his mind. So much so that we ended up sitting by ourselves making funny stories about the characters, where he squirmed around, and played with and lost my favorite earring after pretending it was Cap's Shield (yes, my earrings can reach epic proportions). He was not impressed by the film. I was a little shocked until I realized I felt the same way after we left. I was just kind of... meh about the whole affair.
Although I'm more of an Iron Man kinda girl, the story and the action weren't bad. It was about Cap and Black Widow walking around trying to avoid the bad guys, uncover a conspiracy, and figure out who the winter soldier was... and talking to an old Russian computer...?
There were explosions and shooting and highway scenes. Also there was a large glass building and a fight scene there. There was also an elevator fight, and an epic fight on the streets. Fights everywhere all the time. Nowhere is safe!
My mom noticed something interesting when she went to see it. She said that everyone was always wearing hoodies in the film! Seriously, next time you see it, count how many times people are wearing hoodies. It's so random. Sometimes it's justified, and others, I have no clue about.
What I do recall is that the Winter Soldier was really sexy, and he had mid-length hair, which basically counted as metal hair (especially on the posters) which was also kind of sexy. He was a rather imposing character, even with a couple of continuity errors at the end. But whatever. He was relentless and ruthless. Great great character. Could have used several copies of him in the movie. Woulda made things really interesting.
I also recall some kind of connection from this film to the Avengers and the Thor film. That was... interesting.
All in all, it was a Whatever Movie for a Whatever Weekend.
