As crazy as it sounds, while I've watched most of the Marvel movies, I haven't watched the Thor ones. Every time I've tried to, something comes up, or I fall asleep before I can start watching on my phone at night (lol). Might watch the first one tonight though. There's certainly time for it now.
Recently watched Monsters University & Despicable Me 2 with my little sister + a toddler we were babysitting briefly
Watched Thor (2011) last night. I liked it, though I felt like the middle of the plot felt really rushed. Like everything just happened so fast without much "plot development" in the middle. But still a great movie.
Going to watch Thor: The Dark World tonight
The one advantage of working from home is that you can sleep in a little haha
Thor: Ragnarok is a really fun change of pace, considering how serious the other ones can be. Also, Jeff Goldblum
The use of Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song during his fight scene was inspired. Maybe one of the best uses of a song to enhance what is happening in an action scene ever.
Hammer of the Gods, baby. Hammer of the Gods.
I'm reading Hammer of the Gods right now.
You are probably aware, but just in case: Please take everything in that book with a huge grain of salt. All three of Plant, Page & Jones insist it's garbage fiction and there is good reason to distrust a lot of what is in it given the books' primary source (a former disgruntled employee).
I remember reading it ages ago, back in college. Only later did I find out that it may not be all that credible.
I still love LZ. I was a drummer in my youth and Bonham was a god to me. I still feel like he was the greatest drummer in like, ever. His ability to layer in even & odd beat mixed tempos was meta-human.
