    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    Yeah, I would like to see a new director if they make another one for that reason. Waititi definitely has a distinctive style of humor, and I think he's used it to say all he can with Thor. I'd rather he apply his talents to something different, and get someone who bring something new to the...

    Not only does having two copies of the APOE4 greatly increase your risk of developing Alzheimer's about tenfold, it has a strong correlation with an earlier onset of symptoms. So while it's still possible he'll never develop Alzheimer's, at thirty-nine years old, it's also very possible that...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    From my point of view, Mjölnir is kind of like Thor's first love -- and you never forget your first. In Ragnorak, the metaphor is that his first love is suddenly and brutally murdered, and he has to figure out who he is without it. There's a really grieving and processing of grief that ties...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    Just took advantage of Regal's value Tuesdays to see this. That about sums it up. There is some emotional weight in the opening scene and the final act, but most of the time in between is just the movie having fun. Turns out there is a limit to how much the humor can be prioritized over the...

    I don't think she did. Her scene in Endgame was cut together from unused The Dark World footage. AFAIK, the only new work she did for Endgame was one line of ADR.

    They definitely have Natalie Portman standing on four or five apple boxes for that photo.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    It does certain things better than the first movie, but the first movie has a certain reckless "look at what we're getting away with!" energy that is hard to recapture. My main issues with it were: The team is split up for most of the running time. This weird unconventional family is the heart...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    I agree. I wouldn't be surprised if he parts ways with them fairly early on in the movie. I don't think so, for two reasons: I think the past-Mjölnir would have been returned to its timeline of origin once all was said and done, just like the infinity stones were. In the shot of Jane holding...

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 had a lot of problems, but one thing it got right was those gorgeous cosmic vistas that felt like they came straight off the cover of a 1950s science fiction magazine. Ragnorak was very heavily eighties in its colors and textures: "Masters of the Universe" meets...

    Yeah, the fact that this is going to be Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.5 for at least a bit of the running time is definitely part of the appeal. Agreed.

    Shooting on Thor: Love and Thunder starts shooting at Fox Studios Australia in January: Natalie Portman and her family are already in Australia, where she is working with fitness trainers: I think it all depends on whether you buy into the Russo Brothers' conception of time travel via the...

    I loved "Sweet/Vicious", and mourned its cancellation, so this is really good news for me. The tone of that show was very simpatico with Taika Waititi's previous work.

    I call it the Hemsworth Effect. Success in Marvel movies doesn't necessarily translate into non-Marvel success.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    It's interesting. I injured my back in July, and ever since sitting for long periods becomes increasingly painful. I can't watch TV for more than four hours or so at a time without taking a break. I used to watch a TON of television shows. What I've found since my injury is that a natural...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    It will enhance my enjoyment on a Marvel TV series if I know that they have consequences in the movies. One of the biggest problems with the pre-Feige Marvel TV series is that they acknowledged the films but the films didn't acknowledge them. Only "Agent Carter" is canon for the films now. All...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

    I think there was a bit of a falling out between her and Marvel when Marvel replaced Patty Jenkins with Alan Taylor, since working with Jenkins was a big part of why she was interested in coming back for the sequel. FWIW, I think Portman was somewhat vindicated in that. The Dark World ended up...
