Yarn Talk, Movie - Thor
Dec. 27th, 2011 03:37 pmAhhh I so badly want to go and buy yarn. I really want to use Malabrigo Rios (Azules) for a seafoam stitch scarf, though I was also wondering if Manos del Uruguay's Silk Blend (in Bluejay) would be enough for a scarf as well. And then I saw an awesome hat pattern that doesn't require circular needles (well, half of it doesn't, and I'm hoping I can get by on straight needles for the rest of it...), and I really want to make one using Malabrigo Twist...in Stonechat, maybe?
Anyways, I've been spending this winter break so far playing catch-up with the many movies released this year. Yesterday, my sister and I watched Thor.
The movie was entertaining enough, even if the story was kind of meh, Norse mythology got butchered, and the humans were pretty useless. But Loki has got to be one of the best villains so far in a superhero movie, and the actor did an outstanding job. It was my first time seeing Chris Hemsworth on screen, and I have to say, every time he smiled, I felt like smiling with him.
I was talking with my sister afterward about how in Western movies, it seems like the buff, muscular guy is the hero and the thin, scrawny guy is the villain most of the time. I mean, I think Loki is far from ugly, but thin build + pale skin + dark hair = the face of evil, apparently.
