Reminds me of an exchange from the movie Adventureland. Jesse Eisenberg’s character asks his bosses about the whereabouts of one of his co-workers, only to be told by Kristen Wiig’s character that “he passed on.” Eisenberg understandably starts to freak out before Bill Hader’s character interjects, “he moved on. He

You are correct, Brie.

Something tells me space opera is gonna be a huge part of the MCU going into the next decade.

“Keanu Reeves was being considered for the role before passing.”

Male Lead? Don’t you mean Male Supporting Actor? Wouldn’t you say that the only lead in this film is Captain Marvel herself?

That McDonald’s can’t keep a small parcel of land as a functional tribute to its origin is pretty pathetic. Even KFC manages to keep the original Kentucky Fried Chicken in Corbin, KY location up and running - they attached a new restaurant next to it so you can see the original location decked out as a Museum and

I specifically take issue with the inclusion of a mermaid front and center on every Starbucks cup. They’re an abomination and Noah left them off the ark for a reason. There were space issues and they can swim anyway. Also they maybe consume human flesh.

No he was not. In fact he refused the offer (thank god; not because he wasn’t a charm in LotR, but because the last thing that trainwreck of a production needed was more shameless callbacks to the original movies).

Amazon, there are 41 Discworld books. You could be adapting them until the heat death of the universe.

I actually really enjoyed this last iteration since they only updated Star Tours in 2010. The randomized destination idea was cool cause it allowed each trip to be different.

I loved the original Thor, I find nothing wrong with that picture. But I’m a little miffed now, became the thing I loved mot was the Destroyer armor, and I would have liked to have seen that again. There was a moment where they were in the Armory and we see the wall it comes out from behind of, and I got my hopes up,

I never understood the hate the Thor movies get. I find ranking the MCU movies childish and obnoxious, but I regard the Thor movies (yes, even Dark World) as some of my favorite because they leaned into the humor and charisma of their leads.

The firs Thor has become so underrated over the years. It’s not the best MCU movie but with nearly twenty movies, it’s got plenty of competition. It’s still in the top tier, for my money.

I remember how in awe I were at the cinema when they first showed Asgard.

I think that Branagh’s Thor and Johnston’s Captain America are woefully underrated. Especially Thor, which, like Guardians of the Galaxy some years later, had to combine genres and come out of mythological, fantasy left field and exist in a world full of Coulsons and Darcys. The first film is fantastic, especially the

It was the first big “oh this is interesting, what they’re doing” moment for me.

What’s fascinating to me is that folks seem to forget that it wasn’t easy for Marvel Studios to just craft a successful connected universe, especially amongst the doubt and curiosity amongst Hollywood studios at the time.

Given how it came on the heels of Incredible Hulks failure, this is spot on. People might look down on Thor as the weak link, but really, without the film actually making money the MCU might have been just the Iron Man Trilogy.

At the time the film was released I was genuinely surprised - I had the same concerns, about how the hell Marvel were going to fit this into the very technology heavy world of Tony Stark. That they pulled this off was one of the reasons Avengers worked so well - all the pieces fit together.

You know what... I really like the first Thor film! Despite the overuse of dutch angles, it is a really enjoyable movie.
