Jesse, your not-really-spoilery note is correct as far as I know.

Saw Thor. Daaaaamn. He looks good.

Holy crap, REALLY REALLY.

I am not sold on this, however. Don't the two women really have to be talking to one another? They were mostly with Stellan Skarsgard.

I'm pretty bad at remembering exact stuff like this after only one viewing, so I can't really say absolutely they were talking to each other. I know that I *thought* they were, or else I wouldn't have said it passed the Bechdel test.

Heeeey -- now I have more reason to see it again. I must confirm Thor's hotness the Bechdel-y-ness of the movie. I can take one for the team.

I was only paying attention because you had said that before I saw it. It did have multiple ladies with distinct characters, which is a plus.

Oh, in other movie-going news, the previews I saw made me wonder what about why Today's World is somehow less appealing suddenly. Is it too weird and scary here already? Previews seen: X-Men, Super 8, Captain America, Cowboys and Aliens.

Also, Green Lantern, but I think that was really the only one in modern-day America.

Finally saw Fast 5. The slash potential made me cry. Or my migraine. Still, so much manly bromance. Very heady.

Needed better dialogue, though. The plot was fine, the action great, but the lines lacked punch.

Stay past the credits. I didn't mean to, but they were very pretty. There's an ohh! extra scene. Kind of on the level of the one in Thor.

I t heart Sif. Like, x 1,000.

The Monster of Nix.

I can’t say that I’d heard of The Monster of Nix before today, but I definitely won’t be forgetting it anytime soon (and thanks to /Film for sharing). The short film, which should be out any day now (spring 2011), is the work of Dutch filmmaker and artist Rosto, the talent behind the online graphic novel Mind My Gap.

You’ll immediately notice in the below teaser for The Monster of Nix how insane Rosto’s character designs are. That crow-like thing with human hands for feet is pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel. And that is most certainly Tom Waits’ gravelly voice providing the voiceover; Nix also features the voice talents of Terry Gilliam, Charles Hubbell and, awesomely, The Residents. If you don’t know about The Residents, then read up. After you watch this bizarre beast of a trailer, that is.

Went to Bridesmaids last night. Funnier than I expected. Chris O'Dowd is adorable and reminded me of an Irish version of my husband, so I was totes in love with his character. The breakout star is elissa McCarthy. Hilarious. I thought they were going to go wioth Fat Girl = sexually frustrated and angry, but they didn't. Yay.

And the federal marshal is her husband IRL!

That makes it 100 times more cool!

Saw Thor. Would not have complained if he'd had his shirt off more.

Also, can't wait for the clash of egos between him and Iron Man.

THE GOD OF THUNDER DOES NOT NEED A SHIRT.

Sorry. Can't stop saying that. (I know he didn't say it, but it just feels right to me.) Because -- DAYUM, son.
