Summer Movie Body Count: Captain America kills tons of people (but they all ...
The movie’s first goner comes right at the beginning, when a Norwegian houseboy is mowed over by a giant tank driven by operatives of HYDRA, the super-scary Nazi science army led by the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving). After finding the super-powered artifact they were looking for, HYDRA point-blank shoots the Norwegian scientist who was guarding it. Less than 10 minutes in, we’re already two down!
Then the movie takes a little backstory break, leaving us death-free for almost a half hour as Steve Rogers (soon-to-be-known-as Captain America) gets plucked from featherweight obscurity to become a super soldier for the U.S. Army. But no sooner does Steve emerge all buff and brawny then a Nazi spy steals some of the top-secret cell enhancement serum, shooting Stanley Tucci (as an awesomely sarcastic scientist) on his way out . Seriously, as if the Nazis didn’t already have enough crimes under their belt, they go after one of America’s most beloved character actors. Poor form, goose-steppers. Then we get into some real carnage: By my count, the spy’s attempted escape leaves five guards, a shopkeeper, and the getaway-car driver dead . And then, when the Captain finally corners the bad guy, that cowardly Kraut pops a cyanide capsule in his mouth and dies a gross, mouth-foaming death. (Bonus points to the “I can swim!” kid for the best line in the movie.) ? I guess that’s another movie.
The next big blood bath comes when the Cap braves the Nazi POW camp to save his buddy Bucky. The whole escape sequence happens in a burst of gunfire and tank explosions and shield swipes, so forgive me if the count gets a little wonky. But I’ll do my best: Three of the American escapees and about nine Nazi guards get shot dead in the first few minutes . Then the French dude blows up that truck, but we won’t count those deaths because we can’t see them. Then you’ve got the Nazi killed by the sniper and two more Nazis picked off while Red Skull and Dr. Zola (Toby Jones) chat. Then there’s the pretty awesome execution of one Nazi soldier who dares to tell Red Skull, “We fought to the last man.” Red Skull’s reply? “Evidently not.” BOOM.
Blah blah blah, plot exposition, romance, yada yada yada….

Optimism, a Gâteau of 111 Ingredients « French News Online Newsroom
(Read more online French News here )
Why exactly the writers selected 111 reasons we are not told but in its special 12-page cover story, a summer issue of France’s top selling weekly sets out joyful, serious, quirky, deserving, little-known, famous, proud, worthy, extraordinary, sporting, cultural, entrepreneurial, artistic, scientific and praiseworthy reasons why the French and everyone else living here, can be optimistic about France. Indeed the 27-strong team of contributors who wrote the piece urge readers to take great heart and view the 21st century as the French spring.
The cover story is partially a cri de coeur , the French are disagreeably pessimistic, hiding their apathy under a mantle of fatalism and wallowing in palliatives when what they truly need, is a good kick in the posterior to get them back on track.
Following a brief survey of the dense and worthy works of writers and intellectuals who have analysed the French ‘condition’ to within an inch of its life, the magazine exhorts its readers to snap out of it and spread a contagious message of optimism along lines urged by the think-positive–guru Thierry Saussez. He is the author of a just-published essay on optimism Manifeste Pour L’optimisme
The writers lead off their Ode to Optimism thus: “We’ve chosen 111 reasons to believe in France, some are joyously futile, others are serious and sound. But the real number of reasons is 66 million (the population of France) because behind every citizen lies a talent, a richness, a force, a reason for optimism about the country […] according to the writer and humourist Tristan Bernard the height of optimism, is to make one’s way into a top-class restaurant anticipating that in the large platter of oysters you proceed to order, you will find a pearl with which you will then be able to settle the bill.”
So read on for the ingredients l’Express goes from strength to strength; cheese exports are especially ripe; the TGV is 30 years old and a major export; France is world number one destination for tourists while its forests are some of the best managed and preserved in Europe.
