Total Camp this movie is!!
Tee-hee!
is Hollywood going to make every single comic book story into a film, and then make sequels?
BRANAGH?! Interesting. Probably taking every iota of his strength to not cast himself in the lead. Still, verrrrry interesting.
Knowing that Kenneth Branagh is the director gives me hope because he is very talented. I wish Vincent D’Onofrio were 10 years younger so he could play Thor (that scene from Adventures in Babysitting is embedded in my brain – he looked so hot with long, blond hair and all the muscles!). Then again, it probably would have been a cheesy movie back then. I can’t wait! Love Thor.
