Who says our elected officials can’t get anything done? A new bill entered the House of Representatives on Monday that, if passed, will “recognize magic as a rare and valuable art form and national treasure.”

“Avengers assemble!” is a catchphrase that anyone could identify, even before The Avengers shattered worldwide box office records, and yet the phrase was not uttered during the film.
Luckily for those of you that didn’t get to catch up on Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor or Captain America, Joss Whedon’s The Avengers is pretty penetrable and the story is told in such a straightforward way that studying the first five films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe like you have the board exam next week isn’t necessary.
Whether or not you’ve read the comics or have seen the previous movies, or even if you have only seen Iron Man and don’t particularly like superhero flicks, you’ll find something to enjoy about The Avengers.
We’ve seen a lion’s share of clips already, so if you aren’t prepared to spoil a particularly funny/sweet moment between Agent Coulson and Captain America, you may want to skip this clip.
Marvel hasn’t yet narrowed down a director (as of a few days ago), but Cap’s first post-Avengers outing now has an official synopsis and release date!
