Over on Giantbomb whenever a game gets really popular I always notice a forum where the fans list off little "facts" about the game that they learned from playing it. So I figured, why not do it here on Screened in honor of the big summer movie season. So throughout the summer we Screened Pups can add on to this list of things we learned from 2012's Summer movies. I'll start us off.

1. Hawkeye is a better archer than Katniss.

2. Johnny Depp will never get out of his contract with Tim Burton.

3. Ladies love Loki.

5. Miley's career is pretty much over. (at least as far as I am concerned)

6. Dev Patel's acting career is not doomed after he starred in The Last Airbender. Thank God.

7. Old people like to watch movies about other old people.
