I like both actors fairly equally, so I'm just glad to be prepared.
'War Stories'
Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.
I just saw Dhoom 3. It was glorious.
Finally caught Thor: Dark World. Plot twists galore! Loki's choice of illusions as they walked down the hall was brilliant.
And they certainly didn't do anything to slow down the Loki fangirls at all.
edit: He does woobie very well.
Just saw American Hustle, and holy shit -- Elisabeth Rohm was Mrs. Polito?? She was unrecognizable.
She WAS.
So, if I am gong to see Thor 2 tonight and I didn't see the first film (but did see The Avengers), what do I need to know?
Odin is the ruler, Thor is the heir, Loki is the (we found out) adopted son. Thor and Loki have huge daddy issues.
Thor has a group of sidekicks called Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. The Warriors Three consist of a big guy, a British guy, and an Asian guy.
When he got exiled to Earth in the first movie, he ran into Natalie Portman, who is a scientist. She has a mentor (Selvig, who was in The Avengers) and a mouthy sidekick (Darcy).
I...think that's it? Mostly, it's the daddy issues.
Got it. Thanks, Dana! Tom Hiddleston, here I come.
Oh, Heimdall! Very important. Idris Elba. Controls the Rainbow Bridge that people use to get from Asgard to Earth. But really, Idris Elba is the most important part there.
Also, Heimdall sees everything.
And is Idris Elba.
