Guess who was left to his own devices over the weekend?
Yep, the Queen was in Washington, DC, attending the March for Our Lives while i was making sure the couch didn't fly away. It seems like an equitable distribution of workload to me.
On Saturday, I watched the end of Doctor Strange to take a little of the edge of the anticipation for Avengers: Infinity War.
On Sunday, I climbed deeper into the Marvel Cinematic Universe by watching Wind River.
Now, this is a far away corner of the MCU. And it's sparsely inhabited. Only Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch are there and they are deep undercover.
Hawkeye has given up his bow for a rifle. The Scarlet Witch eschews her mystical powers for a glock. And they are both in the middle of nowhere Wyoming trying to solve the rape and death of an Indian Girl. Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch are so deep undercover that even in scenes where they are by themselves, they stay in character. Too much character, if you ask me. They do a lot of talking about feelings and their pasts and how they are damaged. Very actory.
There are lot of epic scenes of driving snowmobiles through the forest and up mountains. There's a nifty shoot up at the end. Which probably could have ended with a lot less death if Iron Man or Thor had shown up to quell the situation.
Probably the funniest actor in the whole piece was the weather. I think the film makers would have loved to have shot in a raging blizzard the entire time. But Weather was temperamental. In some scenes they had snow flying horizontally at 90 miles and hour. In the very next scene, it's blue skies for a hundred miles. They had some great lines like to cover up Weather's capriciousness like "Well the blizzard comes and goes every twenty minutes" or "At least it's clear, now that we are above the weather" Ah, Weather, you monster.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
