IN A WORLD WHERE THE SUN SETS AND RISES EVERY TWO SECONDS AND THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY, ONE MAN IS IRRITATED: Dear trailer editors: Do you have abnormally atrophied eyelid muscles that make you blink in slow motion? The extended Comic Con Thor trailer (warning: takes forever to load and almost as long to play) is ridiculous. There are ways to cut film other than fade-to-black/hold-black/fade-up.

Incidentally, what can we do about making vikings the new sparkly vampires? We have Thor and Eric's backstory on True Blood. All we need now is a good high school viking romance.

    I can't wait to see this in fifteen years when my twelve-year-old son is into comic books.

    But they were vaguely Scottish, right?

  5. Looks like the video has been taken down, but I'm doing my part:  Last week I bought the trade paperback of "Thor Visionaries: Walt Simonson, Vol. 1."

  8. No need for the "That was me" on this one, Isaac.

    High school Viking romance?  Freaks and Geeks has you covered.

    You can still grab it on (what else) a Russian site.  The link to that is on this page.
