watching captain america: winter soldier as part of my MCU education and while i find captain america in general somewhat loathsome, jingoistic copaganda, chris evans is simply a ludicriously beautiful human and watching him do silly martial arts is a joy
i need some sort of condensed summary of what the heck SHIELD actually is
i was bored and it was rainy so here is a cover of bulat okudzhava's immortal and beautiful song "the sentries of love" (chasovye lyubvi)
rough translation of the lyrics:
The sentries of love stand on Smolenskiy Street
The sentries of love are sleepless on Nikitskaya street
The sentries of love walk along Petrovsky
The sentries are always meant to change 1/
O great, eternal army
Where words and rubles have no power
And everyone's a private
Because love has no marshals
May your campaign never end
I recognize only these soldiers
Through winters and blizzards
Spring is arriving in Moscow 2/
