FINALLY, free things thanks to my boobies
Yesterday I went to the Motor City Comic Con with my sis and her new ~male friend~ oooooohhhhh. Was gonna get an autograph from Betsy Russell but I forgot my DVD case and I didn't want to pay $30 for a signed picture of her busting out of a tanktop (SORRY, TOTALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT FOR COSTAS, THO, NOM NOM NOM). So instead I bought two

I found it all too easy to sympathise with, and totally adore Loki.
Also, I liked that the Jane/Thor thing wasn't overplayed and that Jane's role really wasn't about her (and same with Sif) being the "female eyecandy" or the love interest in the film. The romance seemed kind of silly and tacked on, IMHO, but I could see how it fitted in, and it didn't bog the movie down. (Personally I saw more sexual chemistry between Thor and Loki, personally, especially when Loki gets all affected when he makes a comment to Thor about Jane.)
I wasn't really about the mancandy except for his actor: holy god FUCK, Tom what's-his-name is stunning. And I don't feel wrong and pervy thinking that, either, because he's like, a week younger than me.
My oldest wants to see Green Hornet after seeing the trailer in the movies today. I'd forgotten about the Rogan involvement, and now I'm torn: I LOATHE Seth Rogan but kind of want to take my son and encourage his growing interest in geeky things.

Oh hell yeah. They had history, chemistry, conflict... it's easy to see what one appreciates and despises in the other. Thor and Jane have none of that. For Jane, Thor is super fine and the key to her research, so she has plenty of reason to follow him around. But for Thor, we have no idea what he really sees in Jane. There's no mention of him finding her beautiful or smart, no mention of if he's used to his women being stronger or more feminine, no mention of if he's ever considered loving a human, if he would normally consider that beneath him, if it would have consequences for him socially etc. For most of it he just seems kind of amused by her, like "Wow, this mortal woman is suitably awed with me!" There's fondness but no PASSION.
As for Green Hornet, I definitely recommend it. I've heard people say that Rogen ruined it for them, because he does play an ass and you will be frustrated with him, but the chemistry between him and Kato is so worth it. They develop a surprisingly believable partnership (and this is not the slash fan in me talking).
