Willow ,'Showtime'
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.
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.
So Hubs recorded Almighty Thor and decided we'd watch it over the weekend. Got through about 20 minutes so far. It has nothing to do with the current crop of Avengers movies. Or competent movie-making, for that matter.
I just started using this grapefruit face wash, and it smells 90% like grapefruit but 10% disgusting, and all I can think of is Jennifer Lawrence's character from American Hustle and her topcoat.

ha! Love!
My dear lord she was amazing in that movie. I loved every performance in that movie, but hers was winner.
This is apparently my year for praising Jennifer Lawrence.
Speaking of Jennifer Lawrence, I finally saw Catching Fire. Definitely better than the first movie. I was sad Amanda Plummer got such a swift end, though it fits with how it played in the novel.
Jena Malone was FUCKING FIERCE though. Wow.
