Question of the Day: Which Movie Soundtracks Do You listen to the Most?

I love movie soundtracks and as archaic as it might seem I also like to buy the CD whenever possible. It's just something about having a physical copy in a digital world. I have a lot of soundtracks and there are some I still haven't listen to yet: Justice League, Wonder Woman and Star War: The Last Jedi. But here are some of the ones I listen to the most:

Side Note: I know I've mentioned this before but why is there such a lack of women composers? This is why I can't wait to hear the Captain Marvel soundtrack because Pinar Toprak was selected as the composer.

Throwback Thorsday: A Clip from Thor: The Dark World (video)

Thor: The Dark World   (Release Date: November 8, 2013)

How could I not post this for Throwback Thursday (or is it Thorsday). This clip features a great scene with Heimdall taking down one of the Dark Elves' ship. Too bad it was only one of the smaller ships.

The artist was inspired by the Thor: The Dark World deleted scene which showed Loki dressed as Captain America.

Fashion Meets Comics: Dr. Jane Foster

Dr. Jane Foster's look is casual with unexpected layers that some how mash-up into a completely fresh and cute outfit.

She takes low key pieces and turn them into anything but a simple look. Although fashion may take a back burner to her love of science, Jane does manage to pull off a look that's all her own.

Here is a Jane inspired outfit I put together:

Was Jane Foster the wrong love interest for the Thor movies?

Thor has been known to have romanced many ladies in the comics including Jane Foster and Lady Sif so it stands to reason why Jane was chosen over so many others. Especially when they had the perfect choice already being Lady Sif.

The biggest problem I have with Jane being the love interest was there was no romantic chemistry between her and Thor. I wonder how different the first movie would have been had Thor and Jane parted as friends. As wonderful as I think movie-verse Jane Foster is, she was more buddy than love interest. Even though I think Natalie Portman and Chris Hemsworth are good actors even they couldn’t muster up any chemistry between their two characters. They had a great friendship vibe going on but no romance.

However, it’s a different story between Sif and Thor because although their scenes were sparse you can see the emotions between them although with the romance aspect appearing slightly one-sided with Sif wearing her heart on her armored sleeve for Thor. For some reason the chemistry (albeit friendship only although a potential for romance) seems to be easier between Hemsworth and Jaimie Alexander whereas with Portman the romance seemed forced.

I think it would have been so awesome had someone on the set of the first movie pointed out the lack of chemistry between Thor and Jane and decided to just make them friends because it would have saved Jane from turning into a partial plot device in the second movie. Thor’s love interest should have then been changed to Lady Sif.

Hands down Jane and Sif are both awesome. I love that Jane is smart, capable and unapologetically in love with science. And that Sif is every bit the Asgardian warrior that she is said to be as well as being smart, tough, fierce and loyal.   

The first two movies make it so obvious that Jane and Thor were a poor match and every time I see that scene in the second movie where Sif ask Thor to take a drink with her and he refuses it makes no sense. Other than friendship it’s hard to see that Jane made that much of an impact on Thor that it would cause him to mope around for two years. 

It's been rumored (which you can take with a grain of salt) that Thor and Jane will be broken up in the third movie. Even if that rumor turns out to be true that doesn't mean that Lady Sif will become Thor's new love interest. Because if those in charge at Marvel Studios have their hearts set on Thor and Jane being together, that means that no matter what, it's going to happen. And despite Sif having all this amazing chemistry with Thor most likely nothing will happen between the two of them. And if it did, Sif would probably be a rebound until Thor ends back up with Jane, and Sif is far too awesome a character for that to happen.

Every time I see digital artwork, sometimes when it's done really well, it's hard to tell it's not photography. The artist did a good job with this.

News: Jaimie Alexander visited sick children at the hospital

I was over at the Marvel website, and saw something really cool. Actress Jaimie Alexander who plays Lady Sif in the Thor movies recently went to visit sick children at Los Angeles' Children's Hospital dressed in her character's costume from Thor: The Dark World. I think that's a really wonderful thing she did. According to the article, she spent the afternoon visiting dozens of children. Again, very cool.

Movie Review: Thor: The Dark World (Spoiler Free)

Rating: 5 stars

Earlier today, I went to see Thor: The Dark World. All I can say, is this was a superhero movie. I totally loved this. It was great and it was even better than the first movie. I think I'd like to go back and see it again. The movie had a good story and a good balance of action and humor. The action was really amazing. I think all the actors did a great job with this second movie, nobody phoned it in.

This movie showed why Thor may be a god but it also showed that he's a relatable guy who actually cares. You wanted to root for Thor and see him win as well as the rest of his supporting cast triumph and win.

Marvel continues to do a really good job with these movies and I like that they don't take themselves or the characters so seriously that they forget to add humor to the movies.

Again, this was a total adventure but before I go I saw the trailer for Captain America: Winter Soldier before the movie started. That looks really good too, and I can't wait to see it.
