I don't understand why there would be ANY story in Asgard. The purpose for Thor to get thrown out of Asgard is to get him to earth, where he can have adventures. Then Loki comes to earth to harass and harange him. The whole idea of kingly succession among the gods is weird. Odin is king of the gods and will be (in a coma) until the end of time (Ragnarok). He's not going to get old and die, so sucession should be moot.

Anyway, succession among gods of pantheistic religions is usually bloody and often involves castration and cannibalism. (I'm thinking of Kronos and those other prehistoric Greek gods that became titans.)

Uh, hi, I'm Stinky McGoo from Kalamazoo. I like peanuts and films about peanuts. I am 14 years clean and sober from Dungeons & Dragons.

Question: does "Teague" rhyme with "segue" or "queue"?

Nice analysis. Well balanced. It's basically everything I felt about the film: not terrible but kind of dull and convoluted with too much retreading and too many half-efforts at something new.

The only things I'll take minor issue with are:
- Vanko's revenge motive, which seems pretty reasonable to me. I like Vanko in general, actually. He had a sense of humor.
- Black Widow's action scene. Once she finally had something to do in the movie, it was pretty badass.

Thanks for Zombieland. It was another nitpicking hen party, but the chat was fun!

All I want for Mother's Day is for all the panelists to have a good time, whether or not they like the film, and thereby be entertaining.

That and flowers. Would it kill you to send flowers?

Nice. Bodies of water never quite work in 3D without duel lenses because they shift so much from moment to moment. But buying and using duel lens kits isn't very practical. *sigh*

Even professional writers get mixed up about these things. On more than one occasion, Stephen Colbert has said "copywritten" on national television when referring to copyrights.

English spelling is an appalling and embarrassing mess. Other languages are updated from time to time, but Americans and Britons are hell-bent on pickling English in formaldehyde.

You're recording on Easter Sunday? Heathens. Family-less heathens.

I will be worshiping the Easter Bunny with my family like decent folk.

Too bad they didn't work on that ending every morning for weeks.
