Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“One thing we found, too, is Chris can run very fast. He also has a very unique run. It’s almost a dancer’s run. And when we tried to double him for running, there was nobody who could run like him. They just didn’t have the same dynamics or the way he moves. He had to end up doing most of his running.”

LET ME TELL EVERYONE ABOUT ACTUAL BROOKLYNITES – NAY, ACTUAL NEW YORKERS – STEVE ROGERS AND BUCKY BARNES
• Have you ever met a New Yorker outside of midtown who doesn’t talk with their mouth full? Me neither. Steve Rogers, garbled: “M’jus say’n s’bullshit,” he manages, and swallows. “Our team doesn’t belong in fuckin’ Cali. Listen. You hear that?” “Is it Jim Morita laughing at us from beyond the grave?“ “Hell yeah, it’s Jim Morita laughing at us from beyond the grave.”
• Steve Rogers getting splashed with water by a cab. “WHADDAYA DOIN, HUH? JESUS!”
• Steve Rogers, by turns incredibly polite and incredibly rude on the subway. “Is this guy bothering you? Because if he tries to grope you again, I’m kicking his ass, miss, pardon my French.”
• Food Trucks: The Autobiography of an American Hero
• Those dumb BKLYN ballcaps. Steve owns like minimum ten.
• Wary of visiting Barton in Bed-Stuy. “I think I liked it better when it was crooks,” he says to Buck, eyeing a hipster in confusion. That sweater has like fourteen different kinds of flowers embroidered on it; it looks like something his ma owned, only ironic.
• “How much is eighteen dollars in future money?” Bucky asks him inside the Balcony Lounge in the Met. Steve blanches, staring at the menu. “For a salad? Oh my God, we’re going to the cafeteria.”
• Haggling in the fish market. Listen to me, this is so important. “That fish is a fuckin’ tadpole, and you want how much for it?” Bucky demands. “Hell no, hell no, kid, I’m old enough to be your granddad. It’s fifteen for the bunch there or none.” “Sir, these are set prices.” Turning to Steve, incredulous: “Does nobody goddamn know how to do business anymore? I swear to Christ. Bleedin’ me dry. I’m moving to Hell’s Kitchen.” “Hell’s Kitchen is just as expensive, sir.” “Well, fuck a duck, Steve, you hear that?”
• Following along with a yoga class happening in Central from six feet away, hidden slightly behind a tree
• “Yeah, Carnegie got hit in the Chitauri attack.” “What?” “It’s fine! It’s fine! It’s still there!” Steve refers not to the hall, but the deli. Priorities.
• Searching for apartments. “I’m starting to get the feeling,” Steve says, “That it’s cheaper to live in Manhattan.” He reaches for the listings for the other borough. Bucky grabs his hand. “Do not,” he says, “If you don’t want to have an aneurysm.”
• Stopped by the HONY guy
• Bucky holding a stare-off with the 11 y/o kid on the subway wearing a Yankees jersey. The kid staring-off right back. Little punk.
• “Remember when New York was normal?” Steve asks Bucky, after watching the lady who owns the little domesticated monkey walk down Fifth Avenue, all up in her mink coat &etc. “Pal,” Bucky says, and drops a dollar into the can of a street performer, “New York was never normal.”
Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“Same pub, now bombed. This is an interesting scene in that we re-shot it with Steve being not quite so weepy, and we went back to the original footage on this. In an earlier version of the movie we wanted to change his vulnerability and make him a little more angry or intense, but it was his vulnerability that gave him humanity and emotion. So going back to it was a good thing because it was all there.”
Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“This scene was added in [post-production] just to have him change his attitude and be determined. That was always the thing we were trying to balance. He gets activated by hearing about Bucky, that’s the thing that really makes him realize that it’s time to take a stand and contribute in a way that’s more than just doing the show. Bucky has got to be the only reason that he would go AWOL for. It becomes personal.”
Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“[Their relationship] a tricky one too, because they have a romance, but it’s an oblique one. It runs the course of the movie in a really interesting way, and it ends up in a very interesting place, but it’s not your usual arc. But there’s always this great energy between them that you can feel whenever they’re on screen.”
Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“The performances are so good. I remember when we rehearsed it, Chris didn’t really act it fully, and we were all wondering what he was going to bring, until we started rolling. But, you know, he never really did that. In blocking or rehearsing, he would just walk through it, and he would always save the performance for the first take. In the screen test of Hayley Atwell, we shot this scene, and she had the crew in tears, and this was a screen test! And some extra was reading Steve’s lines off-camera. It was really amazing what she did with it. All I had to tell her was, “Do exactly what you did in screen test.” There’s a sense of inevitability about it, but there’s also the desire that it not be that way. She’s playing so much, it’s really spectacular.”
I’m apparently exceptionally cranky today, so I am projecting.

1700 words | Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers
Bucky Barnes, team sergeant. A variation on a theme.
.
Bucky watched Steve head off, ostensibly to organizes his notes and look
through the papers they’d taken away with them before they’d blown up
the house. But it was really to separate himself from the boys for a
bit, until they could bitch at Bucky and between themselves and the
tension wasn’t so thick as to be uncomfortable. And while part of Bucky
kind of resented having to clean up after Steve and his ego one more
time, the rest of him knew that this was his actual real job now, given
to him by the Army and the SSR, and not just the self-appointed task
he’d given himself as a child.The
boys were pissed, justifiably so, and Bucky didn’t deny them their
anger. He didn’t tell them it wouldn’t happen again, that would be a
lie, but he did promise that he’d do what he could because that wasn’t.
They had the usual expectations of their team sergeant – he was
supposed to fix everything, up to and including the dumbass actions of
their CO – and the foggier expectations that came with knowing that
Sergeant Barnes had been friends with Captain Rogers since they’d been
in short pants. He didn’t tell them that he hadn’t been able to keep
Steve on a leash when he’d been a hundred pounds soaking wet; they
needed their faith in his magical NCO abilities and Steve needed their
faith in his magical NCO abilities and Bucky, who knew too well that he
had no magical abilities, had to pull a sleight of hand for everyone’s
sake.But sometimes, it was fucking tiring.
Captain America: The First Avenger Audio Commentary:
“There’s something really magical about this set. It’s like waking up from a dream, and the visuals and the tone of it work really well. It is eerie, and yet it’s real… You have no trouble believing that it’s a fake set once you realize that’s what it is. You’ve got just that right kind of sterile feeling to it, and there’s just something wrong with the windows. It really looks like, ‘Okay, they got some photographs, they researched recovery rooms, New York City, 1944, and they built a set.’”

Ah, okay. This one’s a toughy. Cut for comic spoilers, AoU spoilers, brief mentions of Steve/Tony, and critical discussion of Whedon’s work.
