The Avengers (may contain spoilers!)


Recommended Posts

Over-achieving again (official through the weekend) -

Domestic: $207.4 million

Worldwide: $654.8 million

$207.4M in the US alone is amazing. I believe that makes it the highest-grossing opening weekend ever (beating Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2, The Dark Knight, and The Hunger Games). I really hope this movie makes more money because it'll mean more Marvel movies. There's Iron Man 3 (May 2013), Thor 2 (November 2013), and Captain America 2 (April 2014).

lol.It was a great scene though.

Yeah, I missed it, I saw the one and thought "that is weird, they usually wait until the end of the credits completely." :/ :laugh:

And seriously, I would do terrible, awful, unspeakable things to Ms Johansson, almost all of which rhyme with duck. :uberhump:

My girlfriend and I saw the movie Sunday night. It was really, really good. I loved every second of it.

I get to see movies for free since my brother is a manager at a local theater, but this movie is one of a very select few that I would actually pay to see it again.

Never, ever would I ever see you type anything like that in my lifetime on Neowin. :laugh:

I'm right there with 'ya DL - she has a seriously sweet caboose (thanks Whedon for that rear view when she's talking to Loki!!) Headlights are pretty good too ;)

Today: $702.2 million.

TDK: $1,001.9 million

I hope it smashes TDK but we all know TDKR will smash Avengers :wacko:

Awesome movie. Also, Hulk smash + Loki = Whole theatre loling

Yes that was one of the funniest moments of the film. I wish Hulk would have said: "God my ass" instead of the original line he said....LOL

It was a great movie. A sequel is definately coming and the dude that played Dr. Banner was awesome.

Oh, and Black Widow....What a sexy woman. Damn!

The sight of Hulk doing serial body slams with Loki's sorry butt caused cheering, laughing, screaming and in general enough racket so you could just hear the line - then it started up all over again :)

I swear they'd better get a sh**load of Hulk costumes ready for Halloween because all the kids (and several dads) went totally nuts mimicking that scene on the way out.

Still at the start of its rapidly-increasing box office take, Marvel's The Avengers is already set to be followed next year by Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 with Captain America 2 following in 2014.

Today, Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger spoke with CNBC about the massive success of Marvel's The Avengers and what it means for the future of the cinematic Marvel Universe.

"The Avengers isn't just a film," says Iger. "It's a franchise from our perspective. Obviously, it was helped a lot by the success of the 'Iron Man' movies and of 'Thor' and 'Captain America'. From 'The Avengers' we get a chance to make 'Thor 2' and 'Captain America 2' and 'Iron Man 3' and hopefully another 'Avengers' movie. So this one film that is immensely successful... is going to get a number of other films and franchises."

In addition to the films he lists, the studio has announced plans for an as-of-yet-undisclosed project to be released on May 16, 2014. There's no confirmation yet on whether or not that will be a sequel or if it might be based on a new Marvel Universe character.

"We have an ability to leverage what was a very fun film done by a great group of filmmakers into something much bigger for the company," he continues, "and the effect will be prolonged and that's very, very exciting for us."

The U.S. Defense Department didnt want to lend jets for the movie because they had a problem with S.H.I.E.L.D. :/

"We couldn't reconcile the unreality of this international organization and our place in it," Phil Strub, the Defense Department's Hollywood liaison, tells Danger Room. "To whom did S.H.I.E.L.D. answer? Did we work for S.H.I.E.L.D.? We hit that roadblock and decided we couldn't do anything" with the film.

There's no curbing the superhero strength of The Avengers.

The Disney and Marvel Studios tentpole topped the Friday box office with a stellar $29.1 million and could become the first movie in history to earn $100 million in its second weekend. Either way, it will race past the previous second-weekend record of $75 million set by both Avatar and The Dark Knight.

Moreover, Avengers could hit $1 billion worldwide sometime on Sunday, matching Avatar and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in terms of speed. Through Friday, the pic's worldwide cume was $854.3 million, including a domestic haul of $299.1 million and international total of $555.2 million.

Internationally, Avengers has already eclipsed the three Spider-Man pics and The Dark Knight to become the most successful superhero title of all time overseas.

With Avengers still sucking up most of the oxygen at the multiplex, Tim Burton's latest Johnny Depp event pic Dark Shadows got off to a muted start at the domestic box office on Friday, grossing $9.7 million.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
