I thought the Hulk had a very favourable showing which should bode well for a possible further Hulk movie.

The movies strengths were the action packed scenes and the interaction between the individual members of the Avengers. I enjoyed the interaction and the fight scene between the Hulk and Thor.

Probably the big 4 (Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, and Captain America) got more favourable attention than the little 2 (Hawkeye and Black Widow).

All in all – it’s massive success was not really that much of a surprise to me.

When Richard Nixon first ran for Congress. Jerry Voorhees was the incumbent. Both appeared on that Jr Hi stage in a town meeting which I attended. At the time, there were not a lot of Democrats in South Pas. Today, there are a lot more proportionately.

We in the audience did not realize that Nixon pulled one of his first dirty tricks on that stage.

There was a row of political folks seated on the stage. We heard from the lesser ones first. Every so often someone would dash ostage and hand a telegram to the chairperson. The messages were basically similar. Nixon apolgized that he was delayed at another meeting at an American Legion in Monterey Park, I think it was, but he would be in South Pasadena as soon as he could.

Well, when it was Nixon’s turn to speak, he was “not there yet”, so Voorhees was put off balance by being the first of the two to speak. Meanwhile Nixon was backstage by this time, this being corroborated by all the points Nixon made when he officially appeared onstage after Voorhees’ remarks.

And little did we know then, that one day he would be our Nation’s President. Or that there would be a burglary in D.C. that would end his Presidency ahead of schedule.
