The House of Boys is in the preliminary stages of laying out the summer movie season (this entails much negotiation, as none of us like to go to movies alone, but everybody has their own preferences, so everybody gets one preemptive WE ARE DOING THIS ONE which everyone else makes every effort to be there for.

Obviously, *my* preemptive strike is The Avengers, but Oldest is right behind me this year with Prometheus, due almost entirely to Guy Pearce and this faux TED talk.
