"Mix metaphors thoroughly and electrify..."

In other news, we caught the early showing of Thor yesterday. Fun flick, though I'd delete Natalie Portman entirely if I had the opportunity. I spent much of the movie being amused by the casting.

Kenneth Branagh presents Thor

starring
Eric as Thor
Caine as Loki
Bleys as Fandral the Dashing
Gerard as Volstagg, the Lion of Asgard
Benedict as Hogun the Grim
Deirdre as Sif
Julian as Heimdall
and
Oberon as Odin

Gerard & Benedict are stretching their acting abilities. The rest of them are just being themselves. It's an interesting example of the use of archtypes in storytelling.
