So, that Thor trailer... did anyone else see Rory Williams in the middle of it all?
Or am I hallucinating?
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If we start whitefonting trailers, there's no way out of the sea of redaction.

Sorry; I couldn't remember if it had been released on television yet.
Anyway, did anyone else see Rory Williams in that trailer? Or am I mistaken?

It doesn't have to have appeared on TV, does it? General web release and theatre release count, no?

That is cool, but in mythology Frigga is mainly known for being a doting mother that got everything but mistletoe to swear never to harm her son. Hera and Kali are more the kickass Queen of Heaven types, and Sif and Freya fill teh warrior goddess roles for the Norse pantheon.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I personally would not mess with the "doting mother" goddesses when their children are threatened.
But I see your point.

So, the Thor trailer -- no one mentioned Heimdall out of his helmet. Idris, yum.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, Elysium. Rather disappointing film given the amount of talent involved. Basically, the whole thing is a very anvillacious allegory of Immigration Issues. The movie is almost devoid of any dramatic tension and poor Matt Damon looks like he's about to hurl for the duration of entire movie. I was thinking of going to see Heat instead -- I kinda wish I had. Or seen Pacific Rim again.
On that topic, here's a series of interview clips with Charlie Hunnam about his experience of filming Pacific Rim: [link] (There are 5 clips in total and the subsequent ones should show up on the right column.) It's a great interview -- Hunnam is funny and self-deprecating and personable and just comes across like a great, down-to-earth dude.
