Angel ,'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Asgardians = Aesir. I don't think they ever said "Aesir" in the movies.
Yay Norse mythology! Thanks for bringing that in. I like "Aesir" so much better than "Asgardians," which just sounds like someone watching over the booty if you say it out loud. Which is also a time honored activity, but still.
Tep,
I saw the first movie! Apparently I excised it in total from my memory.
I love Lorde. More than I have loved any new-to-me musical artist in ages. I don't love that song in any version, however, and don't really think there's enough Lordeness to overcome that for me. Too much of what I like of her sound is in the lyric, perhaps.
I'm going to be a naysayer and say I thought Thor 2 was really, really stupid. I thought the characters all wanted macguffin things for plot reasons, and I really didn't care about any of it. Also 9/11 imagery and fake language. Yawn.
Also, also, it has one of my most hated tropes: your penis has saved my vagina life, so my vagina is open to you now.
I did like the funny bits, and I thought Hiddleston and Elba were the best part of the movie.
Most of the comedy bits had me rolling my eyes, but that may have to do with my tolerance for Darcy/Kat Dennings falling from slight in the first film to nonexistent in this one. Was I the only one hoping "Mew-mew's" flight path would take it through her at some point ?
Derailing the Thor conversation briefly to hyperventilate over this.
How did I not know this was in the works?

I just shrieked. Oh, please, she's my favorite villain ever, please don't screw this up.
