"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

First post-pandemic movie theater experience!!

I had been holding out for French Dispatch, but it's not coming until the fall. Matilda has already been to two movies in theater (Demon Slayer [anime], and Cruella), but all three of us went to see a rep house showing of Amelie last night. And, of course, we dressed for the occasion.

I've seen it a bunch of times, including originally in a theater, and we own the DVD. But I tend to think of the visuals, and had forgotten how funny it is. The scenes where Amelie was gaslighting the abusive green grocer in vengeance got loud guffaws from both JZ and Matilda (and others in the crowd). As did the world traveling garden gnome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Loki would indeed Do That. So would Tony Stark.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Okay, so... like, is he from an entire alternate timeline of Asgardian reptiles, or did he just transform into an alligator at some point and get stuck ?

Or, as a review I read proposed, did he just eat a Loki?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I really want it to be an entire alternate timeline of Asgardian reptiles.

Tep, I'm picturing basically the Disney animated Robin Hood, but Asgard.

HEY DISNEY YOU COULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN

You got your Frog Thor though, Steph.

I rewound and watched the frog Thor bit twice and I still thought it was just regular Asgardian Thor shrunk down and stuck in a jar. I didn't realize it was frog Thor until I saw a comment on Tumblr. But HELL YEAH, frog Thor !!!!!

I think the conclusion is that I need to clean the TV screen.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In kind of Marvel-related news, it seems that Sophia Di Martino was/is breastfeeding during the filming of Loki and she is very appreciative of the costume designer taking that into consideration and making her a costume that accommodates that.
