🔖 Bookmarked Portable Wireless Live Video Rig • Aaron Parecki
Nice rig! I’m saving this one for future reference.
Just started watching Thor: The Dark World and I must say, the Thor movies are surprisingly entertaining.
🎞 Watched: Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Another highly entertaining movie. The spy thriller elements are more interesting than the action scenes.

🎞 Watched: The Avengers
Now this was a movie that absolutely benefited from me watching a bunch of other MCU movies prior to it. I originally watched The Avengers a few years ago, having only watched the first Iron Man beforehand. I was mildly entertained by The Avengers then, but nothing more. At times it seemed really silly and I didn’t feel engaged.
Fast-forward to yesterday when I was supposed to watch this for a few minutes during my lunch break. Since I had watched most of the preceding MCU movies, I suddenly felt myself caring about the characters and even understanding them. I cared about Captain America, a character that I’d never given a damn about before. I cared about Coulson because I’d seen him in multiple movies. I even understood where Thor came from. And I really cared about Erik Selveig, for more reasons that simply him being played by Stellan Skarsgård.
The result of this was that I blew off work for more than two hours and actually watched the entire movie in one sitting and I had a blast. Two and a half hours of solid entertainment!
