Jeremy Renner is really rather cool as Hawkeye - he's a damned good actor, and does lot with a fairly small amount of screen time. The "Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure" bit in the final battle is beautifully done.

I am not doing a Londony visit thing this time round, other than a couple of hours in transit in Heathrow. I'm planning on four or five days in London between the two conferences in August/September, and shall give y'all lots of warning about my imminent descent so that I can insert myself suitably into crazy calendars.
