It doesn't have to have appeared on TV, does it? General web release and theatre release count, no?
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I saw the Thor trailer. Yay for Frigga kicking ass! Do not mess with the Queen of the Gods.!
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.

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.

vonnie, you have no idea how disappointed I am to see the negative reviews of Elysium. I had been looking forward to the movie all summer. damn.

Sorry guys. I dunno. I didn't hate it, but I thought District 9 was terrific so had a pretty high expectations. Even the world-building stuff -- which was probably the part I was looking forward to the most -- didn't give me that much more than what I got from the trailer. It starts off well enough, but crawls to a rather facile and predictable conclusion.
