Further to my dilemma yesterday, I was seriously considering not choosing either, so that I wouldn't have to go out at all. However, the thought of Chinese food was eating away at me, heh... But then, day to day life being as bland as it is, I think I needed entertainment, something to fill the void that is me. When I got there, it didn't look too busy, being a Sunday and all. When I approached to get my ticket, I noticed that the price of admission had gone up $2.00 since the last time I had been... maybe sometime last year, I can't remember. Oh well... I was already there. I waited in line to get popcorn, and that seemed to take forever. So all totalled, $13.00. More than I had planned on. In the back of my mind, I may have been thinking "ooh... that Szechuan Chicken Chow Mein sure sounds good right now."
The theatre was half empty. I made my way down the aisle almost to the front, and took a seat on the right hand side. One guy a couple rows back and no one in front. After the lights had dimmed and the previews began, a guy sat down in the row right in front of me. A few minutes later... a woman, with her clothes apparently drenched in perfume sat down next to him. Gah. The odor died down after a few minutes, but ... gah, is all I can say. The movie began.
Opening credits appearing on the screen, I noticed "Directed by Kenneth Branagh". I'm not sure if I knew that before. Interesting. I vaguely recall seeing Thor in comicbooks and I know a little bit about Norse Mythology, and what movies Mr. Branagh is known for. I had no pre-conceived notions and no expectations about it, nor am I a stickler. Some parts were great, some mediocre, some little bits sub-par, but it doesn't matter. I liked it, and I am glad that I watched it in a theatre. Even if you watch it and don't like it, you must admit that it is necessary to see it in a theatre for full effect. To be transported to a world of Science-fiction sprinkled with Norse Mythology and a pinch of Shakespeare was what I needed.
Oh... one more thing... Chris Hemsworth IS Thor.

SG chose beefcake over beef lo mein. :P
Dave:
Hahaha. (A girl needs eyecandy too.)
Even I admit Chris H is "ripped".... Makes me kinda go GAGA over him, even if I ain't that way. And 'Thor' WAS definitely one to see in the theater setting.
Ralphd00d:
A guy admitting a mancrush is a rare thing indeed.
And totally... Thor was made to be seen in a theatre... I think movies like Fast Five, even Captain America, Xmen and Transformers... I can wait to see on DVD.
Okay...so on a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate the movie? (Gremlin question)
Nice pic, by the way.
Just think...when this comes out on DVD you can re-watch the "beefcake" and eat your beef lo mein at the same time in the comfort of your own surround sound with or without Gremlins...maybe spicy snoodles instead...
Big Sis:
I have a hard enough time saying that I actually like or dislike something, let alone rating it on a scale of 1 to 10, as you know. However in this case, I would give it a generous 8, maybe even 8.5.
Big Sister thinks of the future - very wise :)
