Buzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caroline Kalkowski reviews Hop Alongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album.
On one of the final days of class this semester, a favorite professor of mine discussed a phenomenon that she deemed â&#x20AC;&#x153;post-semester sadness.â&#x20AC;? She described the recognizable - albeit, until that point, nameless - sentiment acutely: you eagerly await the conclusion of classes, desperately power through to the end of finals and finally turn in your remaining papers and exams, only to realize that you are strangely and inexplicably mournful. You begin grieving for something that, a few days prior, you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to be done with. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m familiar with this feeling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky enough to take a number of courses at the University of Illinois that have impacted me profoundly, all of which Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been conversely relieved and wrenched to see finish. More often, however, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that post-semester sadness manifests itself beyond the classroom, hiding away in the last few pages of a treacherously difficult novel or waiting after the last race in a grueling cross country season. As disorienting and - brace yourselves - cliche as it may be, a surge of post-semester (or postanything) sadness always serves as a gentle reassurance that something was important; that the work youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done and the people youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met along the way matter and will continue to matter even after youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve parted ways. My semester still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over (shoutout to Friday finals), yet Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already experiencing the full force of this bittersweet sentiment. This May, I recognize, know and love more of the grads posing in cap and gown beside Alma than any that came before. Some of them were affable classmates, two of them were my roommates and a few of them have spent long hours in the Illini Media Building over the course of their college years, molding buzz and The Daily Illini with their passion, intellect and goofiness. For that and many other reasons, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss them a lot. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to finish up a very tiring school year and thrilled to see some of my dearest friends move across the country to enact positive social change and contribute to scientific advancement. But, as the post-semester sadness kicks in, I can really onlly think about how much Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed the years spent with these people; their absence will be noticed and man, growing up is hard.

URBANA PARK CORGI-CON TO BE THE CUTEST, CUDDLIEST EVENT IN TOWN LOLA GARCIA Fox-like face, stubby legs and fluffy fur. Who can resist a Corgi? They are adorable as can be. Corgi lovers get ready for the 4th annual Corgi-Con, an event dedicated to please corgis in Urbana. The Urbana Dog Park, located at 1501 East Perkins Road, will be hosting an entire day of fun activities to corgis and their owners. The event will take place on Saturday May 16th from noon to 4 p.m. Your Corgi will be able to run, play and socialize off its leash. Don’t worry about safety, the park will have a 10 acre fenced space and double-gated entrances. There will also be other facilities to use: benches, a water fountain, a rinsing station and a port-a-potty on site. Admission passes are available at the dog park for non-members; just bring $5 per dog in the envelope provided. Be prepared with your dogs’ rabies information for the form. There will be no organized activities. The last 2 years there have been tunnels, jumps and weave poles set up that people could try out in the small dog area. Unfortunately, there will be no treats since no food of any kind is allowed at the Urbana Dog Park. So make sure to bring your corgis to a funfilled day at the park.

My friends in Ratboys officially announced yesterday that they signed with Topshelf Records and that's some of the best news I've heard in a long time. Seeing people you love succeed is one of the best feelings in the world, because you know how much work and dedication they put into the things they're doing. You should check out Ratboys (who are also playing in Champaign on June 7), because Julia Steiner is an amazing songwriter and the band is filled with wonderful people who care very much about what they're doing.

TAKE
advantage of Champaign-Urbana’s lovely weather this year by dining outside! With the help of the buzz Food and Drink staff, you’re sure to find the perfect outdoor eating spot in town. After all, what better way to spend those warm summer nights than relaxing outdoors with good friends and even better food? Manolo’s Pizza & Empanadas One of the best outdoor eating experiences I had was when I went to Manolo’s Pizza & Empanadas in Urbana. I ordered their Spotted Goat pizza. The mozzarella, gorgonzola, and goat cheese create a harmonious cheese-lovers delight. I ordered it togo and then walked over to the Krannert Center. I sat on one of the seats in the Greek amphitheater on the roof of Krannert. It was the perfect way to pair good food and good weather. -Nisha Choksi Cream & Flutter On a sunny day, I love to head to downtown Champaign for a bite to eat. Restaurants throughout the area have charming patios and outdoor seating, so it’s always a happening place on a nice evening. After dinner, I like to head to Cream & Flutter for dessert. The bakery’s outdoor bar seating provides the perfect spot for shameless people watching. Whether you go for a creamy, decadent scoop of dark chocolate ice cream, a cupcake paired with rich French press coffee or a bubbly drink, be sure to head outside to enjoy your sweet treat and linger a while in the warm weather. -Madeline Decker Joe’s Brewery Once it gets warm enough to eat outside, the first place I head to is Joe’s Brewery on Fourth Street in Campustown. They offer the choice of a large covered outdoor patio or a smaller uncovered patio with picnic benches. The best days to go are on Tuesdays and Thursdays because the daily special is half price burgers. My favorite, the Gold Rush, is a third pound burger topped with Swiss cheese, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, grilled pepper and mushroom. With a large selection of burgers to choose from and a “Build Your Own” option, who wouldn’t love enjoying the sun while eating lunch or dinner for about $5? -Danielle Frost Taco Motorizado One of the fondest outdoor eating memories I’ve had my freshmen year was stumbling upon Taco Motorizado in Urbana. At first glance, the Mexican food truck’s rusting exterior and accom-

panying creaky old wooden tables may be a bit off-putting. However, once you actually get to try the food, you’ll start to see why this hole-in-thewall is such a gem. The tiny taco truck offers your standard fare of Mexican food. Serving dishes from $1 al pastor tacos to $3.50 chorizo tortas, Taco Motorizado pulls no fastballs on you. You just get good Mexican food as you enjoy basking in the midday warmth. If especially hot, don’t forget to hit up the convenience store next door and treat yourself out to the popular Mexican popsicles known as paletas. My personal musthave is the rice flavored one! -Tony Gao
brick buildings, the open air dining area is absolutely perfect for those sunny afternoons and warm summer nights. Alongside its unique New American entrees, Crane Alley also features an expansive burger menu and a thoughtfully pre-
pared drink menu specializing in craft beers from all over Illinois. Whether you go there for the food or drink, Crane Alley is definitely one of CU’s best outdoor eating destinations. -Shruti Srikumar
Café Kopi Winter has been officially over for a little over a month now and there’s nothing that makes me happier than the sun being out and people enjoying the warm weather. There are multiple hot spots around town where you can just relax and enjoy your daily coffee or sweet treat. My favorite cafe spot is Cafe Kopi because you can get the best of both worlds: an espresso or mango tea and a turkey sandwich. -Mari Lopez Dos Reales Dos Reales is a little Mexican restaurant on Prospect. While you’ll just be looking out at a busy street, the food is super cheap and filling. Not to mention, a nice margarita will help to keep you cool even on the hottest of days. -Leila Shinn The Bread Company The Bread Company in Urbana is one of my favorite places to sit outside and enjoy delicious Sangria and unique dishes. Their fondues are amazing, and they have an extensive wine list. It is a locally owned restaurant with class and sophistication- a true diamond in the campus rough. -Jim Singer The Bind Pig Brewery Everyone needs to cool down after a day of hard work, and my go-to spot is The Blind Pig Brewery. Nothing cuts through the stress that comes with a long day of work better than an ice cold beer and cool night air. They have an impressive selection of house brewed beers on tap as well as over 100 bottled beers. -Sam Smithson Crane Alley Situated in quaint and eclectic downtown Urbana, Crane Alley offers one of the coziest outdoor eating spots in town.

THE
latest exhibit at Indi Go Artist Co-op, “Repositioning,” features six graduate students from Eastern Illinois University—Amanda Boyd, Annie Cunningham, Jamie Lovell, Ryan Paluczak, Angela Rogers and Danny Rohr—and will remain at the gallery between May 12-19. Buzz got in touch with Boyd, Paluczak and Rohr to get a sense of their thoughts before the opening reception on Saturday, May 16, from 6-9 p.m. »buzz: What is the unifying or central theme behind “Repositioning?” »Amanda Boyd and Ryan Paluczak: We titled our show “Repositioning” because we are navigating the transitional period from graduate school to having an active artistic career. It’s about finding our ground and really building on the foundation that we established within the graduate program at Eastern Illinois University. So we’re adjusting our ideas and experiencing what it’s like to produce work for the community outside of an academic setting. »Daniel Rohr: While there is not quite a unifying theme to this show, the work was created with a common goal of communicating ideas and emotions to a viewer. We all made our work at the same time and the same place, so I would say a common goal was a pursuit of a graduate degree in art.
»buzz: Are each of you working in the same medium? »AB/RP: No, we work with a variety of mediums. Our group of graduate students has been pretty diverse. We do have some crossover and similarities in subject matter; however, we have various materials and processes that we use which really helps create an eclectic show. A lot of the work is going to be a hybrid of different mediums and some non-traditional ways of creating artwork. »DR: One person may have an idea that is better conveyed with charcoal while another chooses to use steel to convey their messages. Good news is there is something for everyone to enjoy, from drawings made with smoke to sculptures of hand-woven yarn. »buzz: What can viewers expect when they come to this exhibit? What thoughts do you hope to inspire when they walk away? »AB/RP: Coming to this exhibition, viewers can expect to see both representational and abstract artwork. With the nature of a group show, you’ll see a wide range of subject matter and processes of art making. This is a good way to experience fresh approaches to contemporary art that is coming out of academia. »DR: Viewers can expect to see work that will
force them to question just what it is they are looking at. The hope is that visitors will walk away with a need to look within themselves to understand what it is they experienced. And maybe smash a few light bulbs along the way. »buzz: Would you like to share any of the artists’ statements about their work? What drew you together to work on this exhibit? »AB/RP: We welcome those who are attending the show to look at the work first and form your own opinion before reading the statements. We were drawn to work on this exhibit together because of our shared graduate experience. This is a good platform to jumpstart our artistic careers. “Repositioning” is our first gallery show since having completed the Masters program. So this is a continuation, but also a new start, in a sense, now that we are on our own to make these things happen. »buzz: What drew you to work with Indi Go Artist Co-op? »AB/RP: We chose to show at Indi Go because we have a great connection through our professor Ann Coddington, who presented this opportunity to us. We knew Champaign would provide us with the exposure we’re looking for in regards to branching out from Charleston. We have not previously worked with those at the gallery, so we are very excited to exhibit in a new venue. »AB: Working with Ann has been great this year.
She served as the chair for my committee that oversees my thesis exhibition. Ann has been incredibly helpful always suggesting new artists to research, and new ideas to explore. She holds high expectations as a professor and I love that because it helps me strive to be better. She’s also incredibly down to earth. »DR: After spending a year figuring this work, we all are itching to get it in public! Indi Go was kind enough to let us show in their space, and we are excited to show in a new venue with new people to meet. »buzz: What are your plans for the opening reception on Saturday? »AB/RP: The opening reception should be a relaxed atmosphere with food, beverages and live music by Ryan, who plays minimalist noise rock with a guitar and effects. »DR: The plans are to have a fun and interesting time with everyone who joins us for the evening. It is kind of hard to tell what opinions and debates will arise when we have shows like this, but as long as we make people think about the world in a new way, we’re happy. Indi Go Artist Co-op is located at 9 E University Avenue in Champaign. For more information, visit their site at indi-go-art.com or call (217) 369-6964.

Jake Aurelian and Ripper the Clown are back with new plans, a new award and a new book to enthrall readers. For those unfamiliar with the pair, Aurelian is an eccentric author who specializes in experimental writing, fictionalizing true events and cunningly suspending readers’ disbelief; Ripper the Clown is his alter ego, a comedian and a host for a variety of shows at Vintage Villains in Danville, IL. Aurelian shared a preview of his upcoming book with buzz. The new novel acts as a ‘sequel’ to his zombie novel, The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown: An Autobiography of an Unconventional Zombie. The title of his upcoming book appropriately plays on this; The Life & Mimes (& Various Times) of Ripper the Clown: The Autobiography of an Unconventional Time Traveler is expected to be released in late June or early July of this year. The new title also draws inspiration from a short story about time travel from one of Aurelian’s previous books, Dead Wrestlers, Broken Necks & The Women Who Screwed Me Over: A Main Event of Photograph & Fiction. In his upcoming book, Ripper the Clown is introduced to the reader the same way he was in Aurelian’s zombie novel - exactly the same way. The first four chapters are taken almost verbatim from The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse). “I’m just rebooting the story. I don’t want to rewrite the characters’ histories, I want those to be the same, but I have to establish the characters to readers who aren’t familiar with the zombie book,” Aurelian said on why he chose to use the same introduction. Where things diverge is in the fourth chapter when Ripper the Clown gets pulled over by the police on his way to a party. “In the zombie book, Ripper goes to the festival, the storm hits and that starts the zombie apocalypse,” said Aurelian. “Well in this book, on the way to the festival, he gets pulled over by the police.” The novel then follows Ripper’s journey as a result of his getting pulled over; readers who are familiar with The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) can see how differently his future unfolds as a consequence of him not attending the Christmas party. “You decide to turn left, something could happen to you. If you decide to turn right, something else could happen to you. Fate is sometimes very strange and twisted and delightful and a lot of my stories are about that: weird coincidences, weird happenings, random encounters that alter my life,” Aurelian said. “So the cop pulls him over and it starts

a new story versus had the cop not pulled him over. He would have gone to the festival and the zombie apocalypse would have happened. It’s little things that can change your life in one way or another and that’s always been a theme of my stories. With this second book, it hit me how that theme is in the actual structure of the book this time.” In this sense, the new novel is a sequel of The Life & Mimes (& Zombie Apocalypse) as the two books are clearly related, and The Life & Mimes (& Various Times) builds off many aspects introduced in the former. It’s not a sequel in the traditional, chronological sense. The events of the second book do not take place after the events of the first, but rather the timelines are happening simultaneously (think Abed’s timelines in "Community" or the movie Mr. Nobody). Relying on unusual and rarely used techniques, such as writing an entire chapter composed almost entirely of song titles, Aurelian and Ripper the Clown never fail to captivate readers through their refreshingly unconventional styles of writing. Aside from his works as an author, Ripper the Clown also has a strong presence on YouTube and at Vintage Villains, a pop culture store and performance venue. Ripper can be found on YouTube at Rippertheclownshow performing comedy sets, skits and spoofs. With the help of his friends—Albert King, Brittany Ross, Sara Ortiz, Dave Rediger, Djembe Jake Duncheon and Charlie Hester— Ripper finds yet another way through which to entertain his viewers as he sings, raps and parodies low-budget TV commercials. At Vintage Villains, Aurelian and Ripper help promote the store and its events, host various shows as well as perform themselves. “I’d always told them I wanted to do a comedy show there. The owners, Chris Peroultz and Troy Walton, have been very supportive of me. I was in their first TV commercial, I was the first performer on their stage, I hosted their first show and they’ve had me host a variety of events,” Aurelian said. “Working with them took what I’m doing to another level. It’s meant a lot to me and not only that, but I love and respect what they do. “There’s really nothing like it in the area. It’s a really unique set up and you can tell that Troy and Chris love that store. It’s an all-ages venue where anyone can come and enjoy a show.” With this in mind, it’s only fitting that a one-of-akind individual like Aurelian would have such a close relationship with the store. “It’s a very nice marriage,” Aurelian said. Aurelian’s works have received several international literary awards both in Hollywood and Lon-
don. Most recently, The Life & Mimes (& the Zombie Apocalypse) of Ripper the Clown received a Finalist award in the Humor/Comedy category of the 2015 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The Indie Book Awards is considered “the Sundance of Book Awards” and was established “to recognize and honor the most exceptional independently published books,” according to their website.
All of Aurelian’s books can be purchased on Amazon. Ripper the Clown is also active on Facebook at https://facebook.com/ripper.theclown.

IN
the overcrowded music business, it can be difficult for a band to articulate a unique personality. With so many artists to “compete” with, musicians are doing anything they can to grab the attention of new listeners. In a city like Champaign-Urbana where emo and punk music run through the veins of several generations of local music, it may seem redundant to form another emo rock band. But Euriah, fully conscious of the genre’s abundance, has done just that. When asked what makes Euriah distinguishable from all of these other local bands, bassist Mark Wyman simply answered without a moment of hesitation: “nothing.” Last week, buzz met up with members of Euriah for the first time to preview their upcoming show at Mike N Molly’s. The four-piece band - made up of Wyman, Eric Stanley, Austin Hill and Kyle Scott - is relatively new to the local scene, as they’ve only been playing shows for about half a year now, but they have each been heavily influenced by the music of C-U from years past. “I still listen to the American Football record, or at least something from it, once a week. I’ve been listening to that record for years,” said vocalist and guitarist Stanley. While Wyman has jokingly claimed that there is nothing distinguishable about Euriah, he also understands that an overarching and distinguished sound has grown out of C-U. “Yeah, you sound like these other bands,” said Wyman, “but of course you sound like that and
it’s fine. And people embrace it.” With bands from the 90's like American Football and Braid, Champaign-Urbana was once ruled, and arguably still is, by a trailblazing genre involving basement rehearsals, lo-fi recording techniques and a degree of honesty that can’t be found in any other city. “The best thing about the whole genre and everything that encompasses it is how honest it is,” Stanley continues. “I feel sad so I’m going to fucking talk about it.” Musically, the emo genre is complex and draws from a variety of inspirations.

“And the answer is yes. There’s something that you relate to. You feel like there’s a deeper relationship with the music and the bands because you are from the same place. You see the same things and the same things are affecting you every day.” It seems that it’s not only the emo songs that resonate so strongly in C-U, but it’s also the honest values and ideals portrayed by the artists, both lyrically and musically. “It’s what people sit down and think about whenever they’re alone,” said Stanley. “I think a lot of that is really, really fucking cool because at the most meaningful end of it, whenever you yourself go through things like that you also feel a sense of ‘I’m not alone in feeling these kinds of things’ and there’s something really therapeutic in that.” Stanley takes on the role of writing a majority of the songs, and at an intense pace. “After the first couple practices,” said Wyman. “I was getting a ride home with Kyle [Scott] and we were like: ‘This kid is just pumping out songs right now. Just don’t get in his way.’ So we just let him and he hasn’t stopped yet.” Each of the musicians contributes their own individuality in the songwriting process. “I’ve usually fronted the songwriting in a majority of the bands that I’ve been in,” said Stanley. “This is really the first one where I have brought songs to the table and Austin will play drums in a way that I didn’t really think about in a part. I think these guys really complement each other well and it’s been fun writing with them.”
Euriah’s music reflects many of the characteristics of the emo-rock of their musical influence, yet expresses a unique personality through the lyrics and songwriting, especially on the band’s six-track EP that came out in April. Stanley said his lyrics are inspired by “times of feeling uncomfortable” and “insecure” with himself. “I think everybody does,” he added. “But then you find these glimmers of hope and confidence in yourself through that. I think there are a lot of areas in the EP where there’s a little bit of discontent with where I am at 27 years old and what I’m doing and what I want to do.” The band made an effort to make the EP available through many sources including Bandcamp, Spotify, Google Play and Pandora. “We just want people to hear [our music],” said Wyman. “If people want to pay for it, we’ll take your money and we’re grateful for it, but at this point we just want people to have it. That’s what’s most important: just sharing it with new people.” Euriah is a group of genuine musicians who not only understand this community’s genre well, but also share a deep, incomprehensible love for it. And with new songs written for another upcoming release, this is only the beginning of Euriah’s story. Euriah will play at Mike N Molly’s on Friday, May 15 with Bitter Canon, Holler House and Donkey Donker. Doors at 8 p.m, show at 9 p.m. $5. Ages +19.

I have this thing about people sitting right next to me in movie theatres, so there was literally (not figuratively) no way to see this movie until this weekend, and even that was cutting it close. So in the words of Steve Rogers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen it yet,â&#x20AC;? and collectively pretend like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two weeks back. The sequel to 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Avengers (and the 11th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) reunites the whole gang, without all the unnecessary foreplay of its predecessor. Director Joss Whedon dives right in with an opening battle sequence in the fictional European nation of Sokovia, home to a Hydra Outpost (Hydra being a terrorist organization and enemy of the Avengers. Try to keep up). Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), who has somehow morphed into Superman Lite over the course of seven years. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s razzing the vanilla wafer of the group, Captain America (Chris Evans), whose shield still inexplicably works like a boomerang.
JONE SINâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
by Matt Jones
Thor (Chris Hemsworth) mows down mortals with the flick of the wrist, Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) uses his bow and arrow even though a gun would be way more practical and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) rolls and flips her hair while contributing to the body count. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Hulk smashes. The first thirty minutes are the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best, the opening battle hums in a way the first movie didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Watching our heroes beat up human henchmen is much more enjoyable than faceless aliens. The crew then returns to Avengers Tower (formally Stark Tower) where they engage in banter and erratic drunken behavior. Audiences have spent nearly a decade watching these personalities develop and come together; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch all our pals hang out. It feeds into our obsession with celebrities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the scene services those who wish to just hang out with Tony Stark or Downey Jr. At this point theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost interchangeable: the belief is that Downey is just playing a fictionalized version of himself. It looks more like This Is The End than a superhero movie. But there is the problem of a villain, and no superhero movie would be complete without a proper adversary. Enter Ultron (James Spader), an artificially intelligent robot secretly developed by Stark
as a way to protect the Earth from those that wish us harm. Ultron wakes up, reads the entire Internet and in a shocking twist decides that the only way to protect the Earth is to eliminate the human race. Where have I seen this before? I swear this happened in another movieâ&#x20AC;Ś Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, every robot movie ever. Compared to DC superheroes (with villains like the Joker and Lex Luther) Marvel struggles to create transcendent enemies for its heroes. Everyone saw Guardians of the Galaxy last summer, but who can tell me who the bad guy was? Or even what color he was? (Green? No, Zoe Saldana was green, maybe purple?). Does anyone even remember that Jeff Bridges was in the original Iron Man? I forgot like six movies ago. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some commitment to making Ultron not only formidable but also strangely engaging. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unclear if his snark is a byproduct of reading online blogs (like this one) or a program from his daddy dearest, Tony Stark. But like his cronies in arms before him, Ultronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelf life is just over two hours. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly long enough to be called an age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Visitation of Ultronâ&#x20AC;? seems more apt. Whedon takes special care to focus on the secondary members of the team, their underdevelopment a glaring hole in the first Avengers

film. Hawkeye goes from being an ordinary guy whose powers (or lack thereof) are unclear to an ordinary guy with unclear powers who also has a family. But the film really sparkles when Johansson and Ruffalo share the screen. Their combined filmography is a bit more impressive than their costars (save Samuel L. Jackson) and scenes without costumes come to life when they share the screen. This is the third time the boys at Marvel have hitched Johanssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Romanov to a different member of the team (Hawkeye in Avengers, Captain America in Winter Soldier) and they seem to finally have it right. Whedon loves it when the slightly nerdy guy gets the pretty girl, and the mostly male audience probably felt the same way. With the slate of movies coming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame these two wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get their own stand-alone movie. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely no one clamoring for another Thor, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gladly watch an art house film about Banner and Romanov navigating the treacherous backwoods of Fiji, trying to make love with his big guy (not THE big guy). Opening at Sundance 2016, Marvelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Peculiar Disappearance of Natasha and the Green Man, directed by Wes Anderson. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make a billion dollars, easy.
