"Well, I guess that's worth a look."

 I kinda want to maintain the pretense of hard-workingness and reviews that are all the same length and match and tagged and stuff, but writing actual reviews for either of these things would impede my going to Wawa for coffee right now.  So no.

Thor: HNNGH.  [personal profile] relia  sort of told me I'd like this movie, but that didn't prepare me for how much I'd enjoy this movie.  I'm not really a Thor person.  I'm not really even a Marvel person.  However, I've got gonads and functioning eyeballs, and that did it.  I guess I should probably mention the pretty Asgardian CG and the funny dialogue and the charming derp personality they gave Thor, but really what I want to talk about is how blazingly attracted to Loki I was.  I'm not even kidding.  I agree 100% with [personal profile] relia 's verbatim "intense and burning desire to throw down Loki and fuck the everliving hell out of him all over the place."  I ain't ashamed.  The only thing capable of distracting me from this was the Jeremy Renner Hawkeye cameo, and you know my feelings on Jeremy Renner.  Or, you do now, then.  I guess this wasn't so much a movie review as a "lust rating."  I only live once.

Game of Thrones: It's getting harder and harder to review GoT because I know if I start I'll open the can of worms that is my ASoIaF opinion manifesto, but I will say -- they cut Tyrion's "Don't kill him here!"/"Don't kill him anywhere!" exchange!  Come on, they could have cut down Cat's speech a little more to accommodate some Tyrion wit!  Oh well, at least they did okay by Theon, by which I mean, finally mentioned his name.

Wow, this is the first time this icon has ever been topical.

EDIT: I was too busy moping that I'd never screw any fictional Norse gods that I forgot I watched Doctor Who today.  Or maybe I didn't want to remember.  Anyway, Doctor Who 6.03 - The Curse of the Black Spot: That was like a SyFy original movie released to try and surf the buzz surrounding the new PoTC movie.  I'm actually kind of embarrassed for DW.  It made the Slitheen episodes look like Hugo nominees.
